Andie, using an old bag I found amongst some of her stuff. She's doing ok, using it for day sleeps and she's sleeping well in it, but when she wakes she moves around and then cries on her tummy. But still sleeping first which is good. I have also noticed how great it is around this age! The last month has been a breeze, they are so cute at this age
Vic, have you tried a lightweight sleeping bag or maybe those cot mesh bumper things. That should stop little legs going trough the bars! Hope your getting some more sleep.
Cinder, time to put everything away and lock all the cupboards is it?
We had 6 month vax last week (bit late, been slack haha) All was good, she cried a bit was was fine after. Hate seeing her in pain, even if it is just a few seconds Have been using the sleeping bag and she is going to sleep on her side/tummy during the day which is a good start. I am also weaning to formula as my supply is running out. I have been pumping for ages now and it hasn't increases enough so have had to top up. It's gotten to the point where she won't even feed from me at dinner time cos nothing comes out! So I am slowly making the transition. Thinking I might try keep the 7am feed if I can, she doesn't seem to have a problem with that feed. But I'm fine with it, we had a good 6 months worth. To be honest, she seemed much happier once I started the top ups. Hope everyone has a lovely long weekend
Tasha - jack sleeps in a sleeping bag most night and his legs going through the bars is only an issue when it's too hot to bag him up. I do have a mesh bumper but he just puts his feet on top of it and pushes it down I would like to buy a thick one but am wary or sids. Jack sleeps on his side too. He rolls onto his tummy and chats to himself then cries as he is too worn out to roll back over. These cooler nights are much better for sleeping.
Cinder- yes we have traveled long distance. 8 hours to Adelaide. The trip over was hell but the trip back was better. I had turned the car seat forward facing but he hated it so we turned it back around for trip home. We also take a thermos of the correct temperature water to make bottles.
We have our six month cafhs visit on Monday. He will almost be 7 months so they have given me the 8 month checklist to complete. Some things he can't do yet but he can do most of them.
Jack is loving day care. He has lots of little friends. The staff are lovely and take special care of him since he is a regular.
Vic, even on a hot night I will still put a thin cotton bag on dd. But we have air con in the main part of the house and she has a ceiling fan in her room. Hot nights suck hey
Andie, how did the vaccination go?
Still no crawling here yet. She stiffs her legs out when I try and sit her down and practically holds herself up on them! Hoons around the house in her walker too. But the crawling just fizzled out. She brings her knees up under her belly on the floor, but just can't get the coordination yet. Where is everyone else at?
The bags are working, she now sleeps on her tummy most times. But she wakes with a red smooshed face She still wakes a little more than usual cos she's crying on her tummy, but shes getting the hang of it
