Hi Hayley. Does she settle after the bottle or does it make no difference? I don't think she's gotten into the habit of having the bottle, but there is something waking her up. Is she cold or wet? does she have a belly pain?
Hi Sherie, yes after the bottle she is fine and usually sleeps well after that. She has a decent sized solids meal for dinner around 6 and lets me know when she has had enough, so she is full. I did initially think it was a growth spurt but its been going on so long now. Not cold, but by then her nappy is quite wet, this never bothered her before but now that she's older do you think that could be it? Where has my little sleeper gone!? lol
You could try just changing her, but if she is too awake, you still might need the bottle to get her back to sleep. Or you could get a booster to put in her nappy so it absorbs more before it feels wet to her. How regular is her pooing? Do you think that could be contributing if she is eating so well?
YAY YAY YAY to miss E for sleeping through for MD!! I bet that took you by surprise. If you're worried about your supply or her gaining weight (she was a bit low wasn't she?) then go for the dreamfeed overnight (but not too late so you get a decent sleep).
Welcome Nina! How's your little one going?
Trillian - oh, you poor thing with the hives, so itchy! Bargain on the sippy cup, well done. My heinz one has leaked a couple of times in the nappy bag so I might grab one of them next time I do an order.
Arte - if they go past a lot I'd call the police. If it's illegal to ride a bike without a helmet it definitely would be to ride one of those little motorbikes.
Clare - glad that L liked her swimming. K loves it, but boy it was cold on Monday. Yay for the 3 hour nap in the afternoon, that's a super effort. Do you sing lots of songs, K loves Duke of York.
K follows me into the bathroom each time. She loves hanging onto the bath and lately she wanders into the shower and giggles when she crawls away and I try to get her. I tend to use the main bathroom rather than the ensuite so it is drier and she doesn't get wet clothes. Must admit it is a bit disconcerting sitting on the toilet and having her pulling herself up on my legs! But then I've had the cat jump up on my lap and settle down there before.
K is fine, the cold is pretty much gone, hardly anything coming out of her nose, just a little vomit each morning. Any chance if her ear was sore she would vomit?
Noni - there is a very slim chance, best way is to get a test and check!
MD - I had a dream last night, I peeked in on DD and she was halfway down the outside of the cot about to hit the floor (for some reason she was sleeping in the bathroom), I managed to grab her before she hit the floor. I put it down to your worry about not lifting the side of the cot!
DH grabbed me at 3:30 this morning and woke me up, he must have been having a bad dream. Not impressed, took me over an hour to get back to sleep.
Accountant this afternoon for our tax - should be a good return this year and pay for all the landscaping we are doing plus some extra.
waaaaaaa i just did this huuuuge post and lost it all!!!!!
asha woke up screaming a few times last night usually shes been waking up at like 3am and then 6am deciding its play time which is why its been hard for me to get on here sooooo drained lol but last night she was screaming instead.. i ended up giving her panadol and then nurofen and she was alright... gonna take her to the gp today though just incase its not teeth since dp has been so sick..
cally - i think its too early for a test because i am not due for AF yet.. yay on the tax we are STILL waiting for dps group certs grrrr..
sherie - oh you poor thing with the hives.. thats the kinda stuff that happens to me with medication! never agrees with me!
haley - hope maddie sleeps through soon!! sleepy vibes to you.. and to asha too haha
cassius - gladthe swimming lesson went well
anyway gotta go ashas finished her breaky and wants to get down lol have a great day everyone
hi everyone!!!
i have just skimmed the posts - so sorry i have been so put of touch, life has been v hectic!! work is CRAZY, DH was away, have had 2 trips to melb - 1 with N and 1 without - you get the picture!
all is well here - aside from the busy-ness and the feeling that my life it out of control at the moment...
will try to pop on later and read properly and do some personals etc.
xxx
Oh my god Hayley! Thats so bloody funny! I knew it was Maddie, I could spot that little cutie anywhere! Ah hah, that explains the older woman pushing the pram. Your poor Dp looked dazed haha, as any DP/DH would shopping in the city on a sunday!! Dwayne stayed at home and I went with my mum, I cant ever get him to go shopping with me anymore.
I went in to get some clothes...yes thats right I bought something for myself whoohoo haha. I got some nice things at Portmans on sale. I bought a lovely silk top that was $90 for $30 to wear at Rory's party.
oh btw Ive got the old womans weekly cake book if you want me to photo copy anything out of it.
MD - Oh im so glad that E slept through! Its a huge step from when I last popped in. *high five* Way to go!! What was the trick? Rory has a FP tool bag and he loves putting his tools in the bag and then taking them out again.
Sherie - Rory loves his swimming lessons. We had to cancel them quite a few times as he had that bad cold. Dwayne's dad and I take turns in taking him every Saturday. Is there anywhere around you that you could take A for swimming classes? Bl00dy ab's, they seem to have so many side effects Hope the new medication works better with your body.
Well going back up to target today with a couple of girlfriends. The Target around the corner sold out of the smart trikes so im going to try another one. Im so excited about Rory's party its insane! Ive already ordered helium baloons, the cake, some pooh decorations and ive made up his pooh bear invitations on photoshop...they look awesome!
MIl said to me last night that he shouldnt be drinking out of bottles anymore. I didnt even realise! Is everyone using sippy cups?? Are the FF mums still steralising?
Okay I need to ask a possibly really stupid question because I cant seem to get a straight answer out of anyone. Can you put car seats in ute's??
We have to go down south next week so I might be MIA AGAIN. Dwayne's poppy is dying so all the family are going down there to see him
renee - yep u can put carseats in utes.. i am excited about ashas party too lol alreay have a few things including the invitations and somne of the decorations and the cake tin for the cake lol
Oh dear, I must be the only mummy here who's not planning a birthday party! Gawd I feel so TRAGIC!!!!
Renee and MM - that's hilarious that you bumped into each other...just think if you'd been a little braver R you could've stopped and a had a coffee and a right ol catch up!
Commisserations Noni on the not sleeping. The screaming doesn't sound right, let us know what the dr says.
I can't believe Pregpan popped in and didn't tell us why her birthday was soo memorable!!!
Trill, Don't Scratch!!! HOpe they are starting to feel better. We've got a nuby too but it's one of the first ones I tried that she didn't drink out of. I've used it since and it's good too.
Clare, maybe get some different meds at the drs, sounds like the one you've got is not working!
OMG Cally I would flip out from a dream like that! Could you get back to sleep afterwards?
MM, I second Trill's suggestions. Otherwise try just giving her a drink of water instead of the bottle if you don't want her having a bottle (if she's a mouth breather she might be waking up feeling a bit dry around the gills).
Arte, illegal dirtbikers are a problem everywhere! I reckon just leave a few hand-fulls of sharp tacks (pointy end up) on the strip they ride on (!!!) Did I say that? Def ring the police next time and at least see what they say, otherwise speak to the council about noise restrictions.
Renee- no we are not sterilizing anymore. Olivia is on 3 bottles a day now with water in a sippy cup inbetween. She also loves the baby popper jucies and loves to suck out of the straw.
MD- How did Miss E go last night?
Noni- Hope A is feeling better soon.
Oh better go I have to go to the dr now feels like I have razar blades in my neck.
oh MD - I cant even remember what i wrote on my bday - i hope i didnt get your hopes up that there was an amazingly exciting story to tell.... the bday was memorable as it was a day from hell in many ways LOL!!! too much on to go into huge detail (and tbh now in hindsight it isnt so bad) but lets just say it involved a flight to melb with N, turning up at aiport and realising DH did NOT leave the pram in the car for me like i thought he had before he went away, parking miles away at the back of the long term car park, delays and more delays, no parking at my mums, sick N spewing all over me while all our stuff was in the car - you get the drift!!! so not memorable for any delightful reasons or anything to get excited about unfortunately! i was spoiled with gorgeous gifts etc etc but it wasnt a day i'd like to repeat any time soon!!
OH no pregpan, so memorable in a faulty towers kind of way then?
I'm starting to think about Alister's party - have done invites. I hvae done more for Erin's party the following month LOL.
Luckily the hives aren't all that itchy on my arms or legs, only my back, so I can't get to them LOL. The phenergan worked a treat for the itch anyway.
Pregpan: Oh no what a day! What a mess! Bet DH copped it for not leaving the pram in the car hehe. How is N going, is he unwell still?
Trillian: Thanks for the tips, I?m going to give it a go. Not sure about the pooing, she always does one every morning after she has been up half an hr or so. Also I?ll try give water instead, but I?ve tried that before and even when sleepy in the middle of the night she knows and shakes her head lol. She is also sick at the moment again and cough coughing during the night, so I'm kinda waiting for this to pass iykwim. Mind you last night she didnt have a bottle, as she woke, I put the dummy in and she went off easily. What program did you make Alisters invites on?
Renee: We are missing a swimming lesson today due to Maddie having a cold too and another nasty cough. Good luck with the smart trike, all this talk about them makes me want to go put one on lay by for chrissy. I showed DP last night so I figure I?ll go down to target today and if they still have them then its meant to be hehe. YES that was my MIL who insists on taking over caring for M when she is around, hence pushing the pram all day long. I don?t mind so much anymore, well not as much as I used to. I try not to work myself up anymore about my MIL! Yay for the portmans purchases! I stopped sterilizing only a couple of weeks ago and I?m still sad about it LOL I love cleaning & doing the dishes (as weird as it sounds) and I loved sterilizing bottles but I figured she is too old for it now. I can?t get M to take a sippy cup at all, she plays with it, so don?t worry about it. Thanks for your offer re the cake book but I want my own copy, it brings back so many good memories.
Leemar: Whats wrong with your neck?
MD: Hope you had another good night with E. Yes M is a mouth breather, I never even thought that it could be her mouth being dry! You smartie hehe.
Noni: Let us know how Asha goes at the doc. Hope its just teeth?
Cally: Haha I?ve had the cat jump onto my lap while on the loo as well. Yay for the decent tax return!
While Sherie has metioned phenergan & while I remember, the girls at work are adamant that I need to give this to M before we take off on our plane trip (early Sept we are going) to ?knock her out?. I don?t like the sound of this at all though. I figured she would be ok seeing as we leave at 4.30pm and arrive at 11pm ish in KL, this would normally be when she is sleeping. However we are then onto another plane at midnight to Penang, so a few disturbances. I know sometimes babies get confused with the ear popping. What do you ladies think, is it as drastic as the work girls are saying? I haven?t been on many planes myself let alone taken a baby along so I don?t know.
I havent done a thing for N's party yet - oops! better get onto that! i think we are having 2 - 1 here in Canb and 1 in melb a few weeks later. yes i live a double life!
sherie - glad the hives are getting better - you have had a hard time.
I haven't done anything for K's party either, better get onto that!
MM - Some of the others will know better about plane trips with bubs, but just to let you know, if you do try the phenergan test it out beforehand! My mum gave it to me on a couple of plane trips and apparently I use to run up and down the aisles and be absolutely hyper. It can knock some kids out but can work the completely opposite way as well.
Hi everyone
Hannah is asleep, Jess is at school and Zoe is at Kindy and i'm feeling a bit lonely. Poor me. lol.
cally - i'm so glad your sis has got you the trike. I can't wait until Hannah's birthday so i can give her a go. ( i will though) Hannah still has a little spew - and it is generally after her morning feed. (it's usually weetbix, and it pongs)
ange - when do you have to move? I hope the morning sickness settles enough for you to get organised.
clare - how cool that you got to go to the BB pregnancy centre. I'd love to see it.
$6 swimming lessons!!!!!!!! That's fantastic. Great that she enjoyed herself too.
md - i've only just recently worked out that bananas naturally break into 3 as well. It's so much easier!! I'm so happy for you that E slept through the night. I hope it turns into a regular occurrence for you.
Leanne - i'm glad you had a nice day at dreamworld.
nina - hi and welcome!!!!!
arte - i don't think i've been to the toilet in private for 6 years!!!!! My favourite quote of all time is from Kylie Minogues' character in the movie The Deliquents..."Can't I even .hit in peace?!" You're not having much luck with noise pollution at the moment - i hope your little friend finds a quieter toy to play with.
trill - i hope the itchiness settles quickly. You poor thing. First the elephant man's lovechild, and now this....
renee - i can't wait to see photos of Rory's party - i think you're going to have a ball!!
mm - I hope Maddie gets better soon.
i'll be back soon - have to do school pickup - i've got to wake Hannah up - gee i hate doing that.
thanks for the very warm welcome everyone, I really enjoy reading your posts, anyway just want to ask, September is fast approaching anyone organizing the bubs' 1st birthday party?
MM- Turns out I only have a Virus. Sore throat started last night. So now I am on AB's.
Jazmum- Enjoy your mumma time.
Nina- Olivia is having a Pink Party. Just having a BBQ with friends and family coming over.
OMG my baby will be 1 very soon...
Cally- LOL at you running up and down the aisle hyper...
Sherie- Glad the hives are better.
