hey tasha - 6 mth immunisations were fine, bit sleepy couple days after but otherwise all good. no crawling here either, he likes to be on his feet though, jumping & standing on my lap etc. he's got strong little legs so I think when he starts crawling, he will be off! glad the bag is working for you. : )
Andie, glad the immunisations went well It's awful seeing them hurt!
DD can now get up on all fours and stay there, but she hasn't mastered moving like that yet! I gotta say, I'm not in a rush because I can't be bothered having to put everything away We are having 3 meals a day here, just introduced dairy with oats, weetbix and yoghurt too. So far so good. And water from a sippy cup, growing so fast
Hope all Mums & babes are doing well Don't want to jinx myself, but little Miss seems to be sleeping through from around 9-11'ish through until morning. She woke at 6:30 this morning which wasn't too bad as DH's alarm went off for work at 6. She has a morning nap for 1-2hrs, a midday/early arvo nap for 1-2hrs, then resists sleep until around 7pm. Dream feed anytime from 9pm-11pm.
Haha, everyone seems to be busy, but things here are so cruisy and I am so bored!!! Time to get back into the workforce I think.
Peeks, yay for the sleeping through! I would imagine it is not just a one of, she's at the age now where she can go all night without feeding anyway. We are still doing the dreamfeed, but I have pushed it forward from 10pm to 9:30pm and now dropping 30mls at a time to wean.
Still having 3 sleeps here. 2 hours in the morning, 1.5 in the afternoon (if I'm home otherwise a few short naps in the car etc if i'm out) and 40min to 1 hour in the evening. Bed time is 8pm. She has mastered the sleeping bag now so we are all happy
peeks & tasha - sounds like your little girls are finding a nice sleep routine for themselves, makes life a lot easier when their sleep becomes a bit more predictable.
we are going well here too, had our 6 mth mchn visit the other day, he was 6.28 kgs & has slid off the bottom of the weight chart. im not worried (and neither is my lovely mchn) as he looks good, is alert & developing beautifully. he will just be a lean, long little thing! he makes up for the lack of weight by being extremely cute, so it balances out. we started solids a couple weeks ago, i wanted to wait until 6 months & to be honest i dont think he was ready before then anyway. we are doing baby led weaning/solids & so far he loves it. i was a bit anxious at the start but watching him taste/play with all different types of fruit/veg (and even lamb chops & chicken!) has been really amazing. he is mostly sucking the juice out of everything atm, but things like soft avacado, roasted pumpkin & banana go down. he looooves brocoli. i do wonder if he is getting enough & have thought of doing a bit of puree/mash as well but i think i will just give a couple more weeks & see how much he is actually eating at that stage & then decide.
his sleep has been changing again lately, was waking for a feed at 2/3am for a few weeks there, but is back to sleeping though again. he is going down at around 8.30pm now, so bit earlier than his 9-9.30pm bedtime which seems to be too late for him now. i guess with the increased activity of rolling & basically always being on his tummy he is getting exhausted by the end of the day. his day sleeps are random, sometimes he will have 2.5 hours, sometimes 40 minutes. sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon... its anyone's guess but generally he will do one extended sleep 1.5-2.5 hours, and a couple of catnaps. things seem to be working smoothly for us atm, and he seems happy & healthy so im happy.
Sounds like it's all good Andie I would go crazy not knowing what's coming next! But that's what kind of person I just am And all the exercise is great to wear them out by the end of the day!
I knew I wanted routines with dd. I am very controlling ( not in a crazy bad way haha) I follow routines loosely though, feeds at 7am, 11, 3 and 7pm. Dreamfeed at 10pm. Sleeps at 9am for 2 hours, 1:30pm (or naps if we're out) and maybe a nap around 5pm, bath at 7:15 and bed at 8pm and wakes around 7am. I love it, it works, we are both happy. I am the kind of personality where randomness sends me nuts!!
