She's a bit snotty and has a little cough. I can't really tell if the cough is from this bug or left over from the last one. Her eyes seem to be itchy as well it started with a bit of conjunctivitis so obviously her eyes are still bugging her.
You're right about first time mum stuff, I was a shocker too with my first. But having said that, my oldest is 21 there was no internet, much less awareness of healthy eating and my only education was from friends and family so monkey see monkey do. These days there's so much more readily available info you don't have to look far to find and with you being pretty healthy and onto it sounds like a bit more just not really fussed about it. I am horrified at some stuff I did with my eldest two! Wouldn't dream of it now, live and learn I guess.
Yay Zoe!! On both counts Beatrix I was just reading that nipple biting and pulling the breast out can be from having a fast flow. Do you have a fast flow? I know I do, now to work out how to help it slow, or help G cope with it.
Could be teething and or dribble rash DB. Georgia gets bright red cheeks every now and then when her teeth are moving and her skin gets dry where it's red. DS3 was the same and his chin used to get red too.
haven't been in for a while... busy as usual and this week has been a hard one with DD1 sick...two days off school, high temp, sore throat and now a cough...on antibiotics now!... I really hope that Eleni pulls through with just mild symptoms as DD1 was pretty bad for a couple days... Eleni already has a snuffly nose and an occasional cough, so hope that it stays that way!!
DB- Eleni gets that rash when I wipe her face with fragrant wipes!!!....but could also be dribble rash etc. It's hard to know!
Beatrix- well done on the tooth!! I think Eleni has one coming soon...she's chewing and making growly noises!!
Willow- I hope things are on the improve now!!...I haven't had much sleep this week due to DD1 and I tell you.....Im feeling it now!! so I can only imagine how you are coping! xx
Solids debate- each to their own...but there is no excuse for feeding so much sugar/salt to such a small baby!!..... after 1yr, go for it!! DD1 was my first almost 6 years ago and I think I was MORE careful with HER than with Eleni..although I still don't let anyone near her with egg/nuts etc!
Harri- def agree about the sugar part!! But unfort im not willing to cause WW3 voicing my concerns
Things are pretty good here now with sleep! She sleeps in her cot at night only waking prob once a night now for food. The last couple of nights we have got 1 x 7 hr stretch and 1 x 8hr stretch so pretty happy with that.
I have been debating one thing though... she is chewing on absolutely everything, growling etc and was thinking maybe teething rusks might help her but shes not 6 months yet... so not sure if i should... we have tried all teething stuff, put things in the fridge etc as well but she doesnt like any of them. mush prefers my finger
Harri- yeah for now they arnt trying to feed Zoe anything and they are all aware of my stance.. since my sister is less strict on the matter they can get their needing to feed baby junk joy from her child LOL
Beatrix- I think I read somewhere that that is the reason they recommend no pasta/wheat etc until 6 months...? But each child is different, and if you think she can handle the rusk why not try it!..... I think I have a pack in the cupboard that was part of a gift pack we were given by a friend...might try it out on her, put her in the high chair while I'm cooking dinner so I can watch her and let her have it.
At the moment Eleni is loving her solids and we have tried out chicken this week... no problems there!.... She eats anywhere between 130-160ml of food and then follows it up with about 50-60ml baby yogurt or fruit. So not bad!! she does that lunch and dinner...I will wait until she is closer to 6 months before adding breakie as well. Something tells me she wouldn't be complaining about it!
She still has milk in between food, bedtime and whenever she is thirsty. I give her water at meal times in a sippy cup, she fins the avent 6 month spout easier than the 4 month spouts! Don't blame her, have you seen the size of those spouts??
Harri- im not sure how much of the rusk they actually eat as well? I mean isnt it mainly for chewing? Either was I did grab a pack of the raferty gardens banana milk ones this morning at the shop and just sat her in her bumbo on the floor near me and gave her one... LOL lots and lots of teeth marks and she seemed to really enjoy chewing it. Barely any got eaten and she threw it away about 5 mins after. Not a every day thing but I hope it will help her. Poor thing even though the teeth are through they still seem to be bothering her and she is constantly running her tongue over them.
She has had a bit of other solids but nothing more then a ice cube at a time and only once every other day, shes not really interested in food though so not really pushing it
Ahhh something is up with missy! She is very unsettled, crying alot and wanting to be held 24/7 unfort I hurt my knee on the weekend and cant stand for long lengths of time as its hurting and giving away so I cant carry her either so its being really hard.
Have a dr app at 2 to check her ears, and to rule out anything else.
