i have a heap of pjs from cotton on, they are great!
if his nose is really runny i would suggest keeping him upright and/or raising end of cot - dr said that sometimes this makes them throw up as they swallow the snot - he thought this may have happened w noah... but maybe i am paranoid bc of all the vomit i have had to contend with lately LOL!

You could get a tub of vicks or baby balsam (which IMO is a waste of money - as soon as they put the work 'baby' on a tub of vicks the price went up) and put a bit on his chest and tummy and if he will let you, a smidge under his nose.

Hi Girls,

Sherie- Not sure yet on how he will be retraining his bowel.
Gracie- I use Yukkie Bear its the same as vicks baby balsm I rub it on her singlet. I also use Dymatap. I also have a towel rolled up at the head of her bed to elivate it a bit. As for Jordy's procedure no I dont think it is like that. Apparently they put a tube down his nose into his stomach and pump this liquid in and it softens his poo so it will come out soft. It will take probally a day or 2 to work. They told me we will be in hospital for 2 or 3 days.
Pregpan- I hope you have a wonderful time away. Nope they dont know what caused it yet. But from what I have been reading its really common for toddlers.
Cally- vegie fritters sound yummy

Better go and do some work.

K has realised we peep through the crack in the door to check if she is sleeping yet - she has taken to standing at that corner of the cot watching out for us!

Gracie - I have just been rubbing Euky Bearub on her chest and back before bed while she has a cold.

Had our first proper morning sleep in ages today. It's not sounding good though for her second one!

Sherie - will try the big pasta next time I cook some up. I bought a microwave steamer this morning so I can more easily do vegies for her.

Pregpan - enjoy your surfers trip (hope you don't get rained in!). K loves avo, she had a finger of it last night after her dinner.

Pregpan what are you going to be doing up my neck of the woods (surfers)?Business or pleasure? The weather is meant to clear up, my fingers are crossed for you that it does.

Cally that is so cute that K stands up waiting for you, very cheeky.

Leanne hows work going?

Gracie when Logan had a cold we put the vicks on his feet and then put socks on him, I dont know if it worked but it was recommended to us, we also raised one end of his cot so the snot would drain out yuck!

Sherie we were thinking about getting a swing for Logan, not sure where we would hang it though as we don't have any trees.

Clare did you mange to get the Leila's photo on the bonds website?

Arte big woo hoo on the sleep, I hope W is turning a corner for you.

Target is having a big sale on Thursday, no doubt I will come home with things I dont need lol. Might have to buy DH a little present since he has been working such long hours lately. Better run and have a cuppa and relax while L is asleep.

Cally, I bet she gives you a big smile too LOL.

Katie, the swing comes with hooks on the end of it - first we just hung it under our verandah when we got it for Lindsay because it was in the shade, but since the kids have a swing set now I have just put it on that and took the normal swing off it.

Leanne, the yukkie bear one is made with eucalyptus isnt' it?

Guess what? I was tickling Alister earlier and he was laying across my knew, and when he threw his head back with his mouth open, lo-and-behold, he has cut another tooth!!!! Up the top on the left side - the gum has just opened so you can't quite see the tooth, but it will be through in the next day or so. I had no idea it was even ready to make an appearance. Even though he has been waking at night, its nothing like it was when he was getting the other top ones.
