hi all
leckhert Anton has got cradle cap as well the dr gave me Aristocort cream ive used it about 4 times now and it seems to have worked i got it on script but i think you can also get it over the counter my neighbour also said it is great for nappy rash
Hey everyone. We survived our weekend with my parents! I know mum appreciated us coming up and being able to see Hayley again. Dad took a while to warm up, but on Sunday morning he was great. Hayley cracked it as we were trying to pack the car to leave and he was walking around the house trying to shush her!
I ordered a peanut sling a week ago and it arrived today - a nice chocolate one with pink dots. I'm hoping I haven't ordered the wrong size as I can't seem to get hayley in there...had a struggle trying to get her in the cradle hold way, she was laughing the first time but after that she just grizzled. I tried the kangaroo hold a little while ago and after a while managed to get her in there, but it didn't look at all comfortable as her legs were all mangled underneath her...I just can't seem to get it to open wide enough to fit her in. Maybe i'm just a spastic and I'm not doing properly..i don't know... does anyone else have a peanut shell sling??
Cradle cap is basically gone; now working on scaly / dry skin on forehead, then onto the rest of DS's body. Currently using a combo of paw paw cream and olive oil - whichever I find first when I go to "cream" it seems to be working - at least the olive oil removes the dead looking scales.
ss_storm - sorry, no help from me - i had a peanut sling for corey but i tried it a couple of times & it just wasn't happy in there so i sold it! to me it looked kind of uncomfy but i really only tried the cradle hold because corey was still really young at that stage. i know mel (arimeh) sold them in her store so she might be able to help?
hi Belinda, welcome! So jealous of your nine hour sleeps!!
ss-storm - I'm no help either. I got a Bubba Moe sling and managed to get Zac into it once or twice relatively successfully, but it just didn't look that comfortable. I found it easier to put him in the sling while it was flat on the bed and then put the sling on. I think I might revisit it when he's a bit older and try some of the other holds.
Miss E - poor bubba, poor you! Can't say I'm looking forward to teething either...
We had some building work done when Zac was about 3 weeks old and he actually woke up when the noise stopped :-)
Leckert - good luck with going back to school. It will be interesting to see how your DH goes being home alone with him ;-) Sounds like you're going well with the cradle cap.
Jasp - that's quite a lot of growing Arlea's been doing!
AFM - having done a week of 5-8 hour sleeps over night Zac has decided that he will revert to waking every 3-4 hours overnight ah well. I guess he's proven that he can do it - if he wants to ;-)
We had our final 'formal' mothers' group meeting yesterday - will start meeting at each others' houses from next week. I'm really looking forward to it as it seems like a really nice bunch of people and we will get a chance to get to know each other much better.
looks like we're in for a week of beautiful weather here in Melbourne, thank goodness.
Got great news from my CC yesterday - and Blake starts Monday and has Thursday and Friday there as well. They weren't sure when they'd have a space for him on the Mon and Thurs for him - were waiting for a couple of children to leave. Means if Blake doesn't settle well DH can get him. DH is still home with Blake on Tues & Wed now (planned that way until end of term, then he goes back to work full time & I get Blake again).
hi all
jumping on while the little man is sleeping - lets hope it lasts so I can do some personals!
Jasp - wtg on Arlea's growth! sounds like she is doing so well - how is the expressing going for you?
Miss E - cant believe he is teething already... wow they are growing up so quickly! I hope it doesnt give him too much trouble. Jacob has started to drool a lot, but I dont think it is teething here yet.
Cate - the mothers group sounds good - hope you enjoy getting to k now them all. one of my closest friends is a girl i met at mothers group with Noah.
Leckert - hope Dh goes well with bubba and that the return to school is smooth.
Bekz - how is miss E now? hope you are going ok without DH - i feel silyy for complaining now when my DH goes away!
AFM all is well here - heading to the beach on Thu with my mum and the boys so hoping for some nice weather too. It is lovely here at the moment.
No time for personals as at work today! We have moved house, everything went well but we have no internet still! Long story but hopefully in the next week or so, it is driving us crazy! Welcome to all new people, and sounds like everyone is doing well!
We are doing well, Sam did his first roll yesterday which was great and lots of smiles and is now enjoying tummy time.
Anyway, gotta run but just thought I would let you know I survived the move and we are all still alive! Will write again soon when internet is on!
Bek, hope this week is better for you Boy you are close, aren't you! I think a meet-up is definitely in order :-) - Anyone else nearby?
Sarah sounds like Corey is doing really well I find it hard to tell if it's a wonder week sometimes..
Miss E hope Ash feels better soon. I have read good things on here about the amber teething necklaces? I am thinking about seeing if I can get one for Arlea. I thought she might have been teethign yesterday too but now I'm not so sure.
Storm, I'm no help at all with the sling I'm afraid! Hope someone else can help. Glad to hear you had a good weekend
Cate mothers group sounds lovely. Enjoy the nice weather this week... I should be out walking while it is nice & not too hot...
Leckert great news about the CC Good to hear the cradle cap is going. We are using MooGoo on Arlea's, it's nearly gone but I need to do it another time or two to clear it right up, it's persistent stuff!
MamaPan nice to hear all is well. Beach sounds lovely. I have been thinking about it lately, we nearly went the other weekend but I am a bit worried about the sun on Arlea, I am thinking about getting a shelter. Do you have anything you are using?
Jetta glad to hear the move has gone well, pita about the internet though! I agree it would drive me nuts too! fingers crossed it's back on for you soon.
AFM, yep still expressing.. I have a huge supply & I have finally admitted it is time to try & wean it down a bit, it just keeps growing the expressing is getting easier though & we are all adjusting to life with the pump, lol - Pan I did cry for a few days, then I picked up my pump & got on with it
Miss AR has been very unsettled yesterday & today, she cried for an hour or so yesterday morning and for a bit last night too, which is so unlike her, she never cries! usually a dream baby so I was a bit worried. I thought she might be sick...then we though she might be teething, she settled down chewing on my thumb... she's a bit better today but still not quite herself, I am wondering if she is having a wonder week.... I guess only time will tell which it is!
She rolled from her back to her tummy on Saturday, yet to repeat the feat but she's not far off.
Oh, and we STILL don't have the cot in our room, so now I have finished pumping I am off to start moving furniture up there, if DH won't do it I'll do it myself lol
