we used the hylands teeting tabs on alex .. & do you think a chemist wld have them around here! had to get the name from someone in QLD & get a chemist to especially order them.
yeah alex didn't like the panadol either. dymadon worked a treat with taste! now they usually have jadin's chemist own brand (when I have it in stock).
jack's not too bad going to sleep .. only if you try & put alex down with jack awake then its all on for jack. we, sorry, I have little probs with jack going down. just keeping him asleep during the night. decided last nite its time for him to start finding his dummy on his own at midnite instead of getting mum up every hour to hour & a half!
Cass -those hylands tablets are fantastic. They are omeopathic and I have heard so many people swear by them. They can be used in conjunction with anything else and just dissolve in bubs mouth. S justs pops them in and they dissolve away. My sister used to rub them on the gums but S just chomps on my finger instead. And yep, S is only about 8.5kg, getting her weighed again this thursday so will update you then. My nephew is 6.5months and outweighed her from about 5 months of age. He is such a buddha butt lol.
So true about Bones and Booth being modern day Mulder and Scully. Although I think the gender has swapped a bit as I see Bones being more the Mulder type person. I love this show but am having a hard time trying to keep my eyes open. Know where I can download episodes from...?
PP - don't stress...just visualise Bali, breathe in deeply and remember that we are all as jealous as hell!!! Hope you get everything ready in time and the herbalist gets you on track.
Noni - nice work...what was the cd called. I got her the celtic lullabies but for some strange reason its in the car (not being played). Might get that out tomorrow I've got my fingers crossed for you with that miracle cd!
I really like the ladybug one but think the mouse is super cute as well. I have a bit of a fascination with ladybugs but don't want to rub that off onto S...
ha ha ha Kate you crack me up!!
I love them both - ok i love them all!! i think my fave is the mouse if it is for a girl..
do it!! gr8 toys on sale but i think sold out of mouse..
btw i ended up getting my nephew the bee... i thought the ears of the tiger may get dirty
now i need to choose one for N - i am thinking either ladybug (is that too girly), cow or bee
I agree the tigers ears would get too dirty,v.cute tho
I love them all but would have a hard time justifing that, I found them on ebay for $85 each with cheapish postage. Works out cheaper than gr8 toys, unless I end up buying heaps of other things from there. hehe
I think you should get N the cow, that way he can play with his cousins bee as well. Unless you would prefer to get the same to avoid fights...*shrugs* Decisions, decisions, decisions! Why are all of lifes biggest questions so hard to answer? I would rather be asked the meaning of life over which wheely bug should I get!
Ah damn, still can't decide which one....rock off time...one...two...three...*****...hard to fool yourself! I keep knowing what I'm going to choose. Maybe I'll try to thumb wrestle myself for an answer... one, two, three, four...I declare a thumb war...argh..nope ambidexterious (sp?) here.
Okay, so I've just re-read my post and think that I need to get some sleep soon.
Hey!
Thanks for the welcome.
hmmm, yeah my daughter has a strawberry birthmark just under left arm on her side, which appeared after birth. I've always been paranoid about it coz every time you pick her up it gets pulled etc. anyhoo, i took her to the GP coz it has a dry piece of skin on it which turned into a sore and he told me that it has turned into a benign tumour. I'm just not sure whether it's something that should be extremely worrying or not, i'm guessing it will probably have to be removed...I don't know many other mothers, so yeh...sorry to blabber on.
Oh, and with ur little bubbies sleeping through, i'm not sure if this will help, but i tried getting my bub to have a pretty decent dinner and a bottle so she wouldn't be hungry. At this point she would only wake up at about 1-2 am for a bottle, but as she ate more for dinner she sleeps through the night. And getting her to sleep, i used the the 5 minute, rub back reaasure method. It almost kills u coz u feel so bad when they cry, but now she's learnt how to put herself to sleep. it's great! 8pm til 8am!
Cinta - you gotta check these out. Search in google or ebay for wheely bug. So cute...little bit expensive but adorable.
Have you popped a thread in the childrens medical conditions section on bb yet? I'm sure that there will be plenty of ladies (and gents) that could help you out with answers. Did the dr tell you what to do about it?
As for the sleeping...I am so jealous. I've tried feeding S up with solids as well as a comp formula feed but she has still been stirring a coupla times a night. I get away with being able to pop her dummy in and pat her for a min or two but occasionally she will stay awake and need cuddles and yep, worse case scenario she needs a feed to settle her. I think the feed is just for my piece of mind because I know that she will go straight to sleep after a feed so I get to go back to bed.
Thanks, i only just signed up here today, still yet to check it out some more.
I found that my bub just needed to get used to putting themselves back to sleep. I tried to learn to differenciate between her cries, so if she didn't sound hungry or distressed, i didnt go to her, i did stay awake and listen tho! she always just went back to sleep. I think i've just been blessed with a wonderful child! hehe, i found when she had her dummy she woke up more looking for it, but she just decided one day that she didnt want it, so that helped alot, but then i didn't have anything to comfort her. Maybe try weaning her off her dummy at night time if you find she loses it and wakes up to find it missing?
LOL! Kate! you are so funny!! hmmm, if i were to get another (i have the ladybug bug) i would go the mouse...too cute!
Cinta: oh that does sound pretty intense for your girl. i have heard of sores going strange and the superficial cells changing. what are the drs going to do about it? is she going to have some bloods taken or a biopsy? a friend recently had this happen (a sore that got infected and cells went funny). and they made her wait a couple of weeks then they retested and it had gone back to normal. maybe call your local parentline/MACH line...they are a font of information and are generally 24 hours. i ring them at all hours with a bizillion questions LOL!
I've got my fingers crossed for you with that miracle cd!
8pm til 8am!
