Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Glad you had a good b'day Beatrix :) No help here for sleeping unswaddled none of my 4 would ever sleep swaddled they hated it.
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Willow- we have done it!! The last 3 nights no swaddle!!! Last night even managed to get from 9-3 in her cot!! (mind you she did stir and need her dummy back in plus a little pat 2-3 times in that time) but its still success in my eyes
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
:hooray: Success for sure!! I'm jealous we still get multiple wake ups, pats are like you're poking her with a sharp stick or something and even getting up to walk and bounce instead of offering boob only leads to her being wide awake and thinking it's play time. She has just cut her 6th tooth and I think is straight on to number 7 :wall:
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Oh dear Willow doesn't sound pleasant.
Why is it you pass one hurdle and straight onto the next? We are having breast refusal now. Screams, hits and pushes me away when ever I offer it to her :( even though she is clearly hungry.
Last night I ended up having to get up express 180ml which she drank in less then 5 min and went to sleep for 7hrs straight after it.
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
I know Beatrix if it's not one thing it's another!! That sounds very frustrating.
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Is anyone's baby crawling yet?
Zoe isn't even close I don't think. She refuses to bed her knees or put any weight on them when I put her in the crawling position.
I know I shouldn't compare but her cousin who is 3 weeks older has been crawling for 3 months and cruising furniture while Zoe just sits there.
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
No crawling here Bea, so dont worry. I just think Wilder is a very happy and content baby who is fine to just sit back and enjoy life happening around him.
We have to remember that Z and W have three older siblings who theyll likely rely on to do things for them ;)
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Georgia is almost crawling. Almost meaning she can and has but spends more time whinging than concentrating on doing it again. She is up on all fours, she can get from her belly back to sitting up. She has crawled twice to get to me and a toy when she wasn't thinking about it. It's like she over thinks it or something then just cries until you go get her.
She never stays still so look out when she finally works it out properly!
It's hard not to compare, my first two boys seemed to hit all their milestones, sitting, crawling and walking pretty early. G and DS3 have been different. DS3 is still what I would say a little behind with his gross motor skills but he has a better vocab than my 19 year old :lol: G seems very switched on too, but not on the move yet, she is going to be a force to be reckoned with I think.
Is anyone else having poo issues? Poor G has just decided she loves food the last few weeks but is having a lot of trouble pooing now :( She's been in so much pain, only when she is actually trying to poo. The rest of the time she seems fine, no hard belly or anything. None of my others had this issue they just ate and pooed no problems. The odd one off bout of too much banana blockage but not just from the introduction of solids. It's heartbreaking when she cries and clings onto you looking at you like 'Make it stop' :cry:
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Willow- Zoe is a terrible pooper!!
We have to do prunes daily. I get a pitted prune add boiling water to it and mash it then I add her wheatbix. She has to have this daily or she doesn't poop.
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
So Bea is she in pain to poo? G's frequency has slowed since solids but I figured that could be just because they are harder to digest than breastmilk, it's just that she cries in pain when she poos, it's so sad. I thought about getting prunes for her too actually, do you think they help it to be not so painful? The first few she did she cried while going even though they weren't even formed stools just thicker mush than usual lol ...Oh the lovely conversations of the parents of babies :p
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
She was in pain.. but thats because she wasnt go regularly. Even on solids would only go every 4 or so days and it was extremely hard and dry. But since doing daily prunes she is now a daily pooper and they are much softer
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Hi Everyone. I've been reading posts to catch up. Glad everyone is doing well. Logan is growing so quickly. My hefty almost 12kg baby is rolling and rocking on alk fours trying to crawl. Not quite there yet. He popped his first tooth last weekend.
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Ok thanks Bea. G's haven't been hard and dry, well today was the closest but only a couple of firm-ish bits then the bulk was mush lol I got some prunes tonight so I'll give them a go. Do you soak them in boiling water first if you're giving them to her to eat whole or only when you put them in he cereal?
DB Logan sounds like he's doing some great growing!! How did he go with his teeth any problems? G has been terrible getting hers, she has 7 with the 8th on the way now. I'm hoping after this one we'll get a break for a while.
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Willow- they are pretty soft and squishy so I don't soak when I feed them on their own (dried pitted prunes I find woolworths home brand the best, nice and plump) just have to watch them because of the skin but you can break it up yourself and feed her bit by bit.
DB- Logan sounds like he is doing well!! Glad to hear from you
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Hope everyone had a great Christmas! :D
Christmas bought crawling, pulling to stand and easier pooing here :D Was hoping Santa would bring better sleep but no such luck, I hope I don't need to wait until next Christmas!! :crossfingers: :crossfingers:
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Hi ladies!! Merry Christmas to all!!
Sorry haven't been on of late as we have had Eleni's Christening, DD1's 6th Birthday party and family is here from overseas!! Crazy times!
No teeth yet!! did any of yourse get temp/ runny nose with teething?
Crawling- half crawl, then she gives up and calls for someone to go get her! haha...we are bum shuffling though! LOL
pooping...I give Eleni pear at least every second day with yogurt and that seems to keep her soft!...
going to try and get an "early" night, but will be back soon for more!....;)
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Was a good Christmas here but now quite frankly over school holidays and still another 4 weeks to go.
Bum shuffling here to in some weird bizarre way which consists of her going into crawling position then sitting back up repeating which eventually gets her to what she wants... Takes forever though
Terrible terrible sleep last night though. Think it might be here teeth again as we have cut number 5 and number 6 is on it's way.
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Haha Georgia started with the same kind of crawling style as Zoe by the sound, now she crawls but still has a kind of quirky technique with one leg out straight foot on he floor and the other bent with knee one the floor. But she gets there. She's full on trouble loves electrical cords, the laptop one is hard to hide, and thinks she can stand by herself. She stood up at the lounge today, let go and tried to walk to me, luckily I was at arms reach because she took one step and would have face planted if I wasn't there to catch!
Georgia got slight temps with her teeth and a bit of a runny nose. We have four up top and three down bottom still waiting for the fourth which is taking it's time compared to the rest.
