Hi Ladies, lovely to read your updates. No paid work for me until this babe is in prep. Sounds like a great opportunity for career advancement Mildez. These babies are big cuddly Bubs hey. My little man is developing much the same, rolling but not frequently, also showing curiosity to food but will wait till 6 months, two teeth, he hasn't found his feet yet, loves standing, loves chatting, loves the ergo, getting some routine for sleep. We're currently in the 'relationships' leap and my very happy bub has been grizzly poor darling. I still want another bub, have definitely decided not to though - working on feeling ok about that.
Seriously though where has the time gone... Taking those little babes with it.
There doesn't sound like there is much between them I terms of development.
Rosey I hope it gets easier with the decision to not have any more bubs. There are certainly advantages in stopping. Financially we are struggling although our friends would think otherwise. I guess it depends on your interpretation of struggling. We definitely can't afford anymore. DH is on the waiting list for the snip but has not been called up yet.
If you don't mind me asking has everyone got their AF back? I thought I had one about 7weeks ago but nothing since.
Of to take DS to the Dr today. Have a little concern he has an erps Palsy. His got some weakness in 1 arm. His hand is fine its the arm itself.
Yes where has the time gone? I wish it would slow down a bit.
Hello ladies! Good to see everyone back. I was going to come and do a six-month update even if no one else was around, but I had a busy week. Was surprised to log on and find so much activity!
Mildez - How did the doctor appointment go? That is quite concerning about his arm.
Rosey - do you need to make the decision about how many children just yet? Can you hold off a year or two before making it a permanent decision?
As for us... we are doing great! I am loving this stage, it is so much fun!
Still rolling, mainly back to tummy. He is so content on his tummy, will lie there and play with his toys for over an hour. Spinning around like he is on a lazy suzan, realy quickly. Still not sitting, if we sit him up, he flips himself around so that he is on his tummy. If he's on our lap, he wants to stand. And bounce... he's such a kangaroo!
No sign of any teeth yet.
7.9kg... 50th percentile. Haven't done height for a while, but was in 95th percentile. Long and skinny!
We caved and started solids early, about two weeks ago. I wanted to give him something other than formula, so that we can start cutting that down. Was going to do baby led weaning, but he doesn't seem to know what to do with finger food other than mush it and throw it on the ground. So far we've done cauliflower, carrot, pumpkin and sweet potato.
I stopped pumping about two weeks ago. It's such a relief to not have to think about it! I was making less than 200ml a day, but I wanted him to get my milk for as long as we could. I've still been using the SNS to breastfeed occassionally. I know it's more for my benefit than his, but I'm finding it hard to let go.
Sleep... not sure if I should say this for fear of being stoned! Haha. He usually goes to be about 7:30, tho he's had some late nights lately (9pm) He wakes at midnight for a bottle, which DH gives him, and then again anytime from 4-5am. This morning it was 5:45, he didn't want the bottle, just resettling then slept until 7. So I guess with that solid block of sleep I can't complain about being tired, tho I still usually lie down when he has his day nap. Day naps have improved significantly, he was a cat napper up until last week, now he's having 2 sleeps of 1.5 hours, sometimes an extra one in late afternoon, depending when he woke up. I don't keep him up more than 2 hours, or we get grizzles.
He is getting more social now, starting to smile at others rather than just stare at them. Always lots of smiles for mummy and daddy tho. I love his personality, very happy and content. It is flying tho, especially the last three months. How to make it slow down!
Forgot to mention... No AF yet. No signs, no CM either.
Considering I'm not bfeeding, stopped pumping over a week ago (and the last few days were just once a day) it's surprising. There must be more to the bfeeding and AF link.
Or maybe I'm just broken and can't have any more babies?
Nice update TD. Love the lazy Suzanne comment lol. Sounds like your baby boy is going great
Any chance your already pregnant? I have had 1 AF. That was 7-8weeks ago and now nothing. I guess I am out of wack. With my 1st AF return when she was 6weeks old. But number 2 and 3 was 6-8months.
