Babies Born ~ March 16th-31st 2011 #4

Ferrals - very cute. I'm going back to work at the end of August...well I'm supposed to be. We need the money but I feel mixed about it. Do you have to look into childcare?

Kitty - we do the same, cloth during the day and disposables at night. Sometimes I think it would be just as easy to do cloth during the night as well.

LMP - which site do you shop from in the US. I bought some bumgenius nappies in the US when I was pregnant. They were heaps cheaper and was worth it if doing in bulk because there was a shipping fee of about $50.

Jaki - I will look into the bonnibuns. I prefer the sized nappies to reduce the bulk so not sure if these ones are.

Ellasmummy - I have the city mini and absolutely love it. I think it is the model down from the select. It steers really easy and super easy to fold up!!

Lisa, bonnibuns are osfm but are not bulky and don't have snaps down the front. Just along the top. Her workhorse nappies are great but I especially love the softer material ones, we are waiting on a hawthorn custom from her.. Can't wait!

2 days no shield!!! Whoot whoot! Keep it up wee man.
I'll give ya the post tho my nipples flippen hurt!

Yay Jaki and Wee man, that's awesome, well done for persevering for so long :clap:
I am trying so hard to ignore the nappy discussions, I read the chatter thread but don't contribute as last time around I ended up buying far too much!!!
I do however need some trim nappies and am stalking the FB page for some second hand ones :redface:
I do love my china cheapies thou, they are my night nappy at the moment (different stuffing)

Seeing CMHN for A this morning... She and MJ both have colds again :( one tired Mumma today as both slept poorly last night :(

Lisa-Hopefully not if DH sticks to mon-fri day work i do nights during the week and sunday i am hopeing to go back to my three 10 hour days so i dont have to work as many days that way if i do tue/wed night and sunday i bring home after tax $480 and that is all we need on top of DH wage and it is the same as the paid parental leave i am getting now i just have to wait on hubby as he only just started this job and it's casual permanent.

Sammie china cheapies are the best at night! With issy bear inserts :D

AF is back :( 9 weeks to the day, so ripped off as Miss A is exclusively BF and still over night... Thought I might go a bit longer as she is still waking over night whereas MJ was sleeping through at 6 weeks!
Boo :(

Sammie-My AF turned up today aswell 10 weeks after birth but only 3 weeks after bleeding stopped.

Had a major shopping day brought Ella a whole bunch of beautiful 00 winter outfits and two piece sets some tracky pants with feet in them and the cutest long sleeve tops to go with them they are so girly and pretty they are to big for her just yet but 000 tops are getting to tight so i did the sneaky thing and changed the two piece sets to 000 for the pants and 00 for the tops that way she can wear them now as her belly is the only reason her 000 are tight the length is perfect.
And what a great sleep she had last night from 8pm to 4am just 2 more hours and that would be perfect.

Enjoy your weekend it is wet and miserable here.

Hi everyone :)

AF finally nicked off on wednesday yay! lol

We've found out that Elise's tummy can't handle whey dominant formula's, ends up with her constantly power projectile chucking... super chunky chucks too, poor thing. She chucks up before, during and after very feed now, its gotten that bad. She's had really bad tummy pains too, and her back muscles are so tight she's become really sensitive to touch.
Just changed her to lactogen formula and it's made a HUGE difference, instead of crying all the time from tummy pain she's sleeping well and more comfortable when she's awake
She's loving her floor time too, always smiling up at the TV or at her toys.

Other than she's all good, very happy and miss smiley all the time.

On day 5 of the diet, so far so good, though I'm always hungry. At least I'm eating more and eating better now than I was before lol no more yummy home made super thick and super sweet custard for me anymore.

My mum is finally down from QLD at the moment, learning a lot of things from her that I never knew before, like the fact that Elise is just like I was as a baby in the way she starts to snuffle just before crying when she's hungry and the looks she gives up. Elise loves her grandma, and DS is over the moon to have someone else around to pay attention to him lol. She goes back on saturday, which will be sad, but hopefully she'll come down again before the end of the year.

Hubby will hopefully be picking up his new motorbike on either thursday or friday too, which will be great. A lot less stress for all of us and I'll get to spend the entire day with my mum, hopefully lol

Forgotten what else i was going to say now lol

Hope you all have a wonderful sunday :)

Did anyone watch the baby food debate on the today show this morning i only caught the tail end of it and they mentioned research suggests starting babies on solids earlier than they have previously recommended i missed the rest can anyone fill me in.

Ferrals they had it on sunrise yesterday and they said that the WHO have said 4 months now for the purpose of weeding out allergies

I just watched that. Funny how Mel * my mate who has a baby in weekly for apt with nutritionist and paediatrician at Mater told me that a few weeks ago who changed it and searched everywhere on the site and could not find it then... Still cannot find it.

They did say that overall bubs will tell us when they are ready. I think I will go off that.

Lisa, I was just buying nappies from Walmart when they were on sale but I usually got them from stores in Canada when I lived there. Online has added expenses. I buy a few things off amazon too. Our dollar is awesome but somehow shipping is now cheaper too. : ) I do wait for a big shipment though. : )

We are so quiet :) Booked Chase in for his vaccinations next week, yes its true my boy will be 4 months next wednesday. WTH?? LOL My mum comes back from the philippines on sunday night (too late to come see Chase so she will have to wait till Monday). I'm so excited. Today I am trying to cook roast beef using a slow cooker and I got the receipe from the slow cooker section on this site so I hope it doesn't turn out crap or I will be very sad and of course hungry because we wont be able to eat it.

Funniest thing happened yesterday, I was at the shops with SIL and Chase and passed the movies and thought, yes shall get DH and I tickets to go see hangover 2 in Star Club. Bought the tickets, got home, very excited. SIL and BIL over for dinner and I reminded DH that I bought tickets to the movies for tues and his reply was "...uh, who is going to watch the baby?" Yeah, I totally forgot I had a baby LOL I just assume he comes everywhere with me and forgot to organise someone to look after him. Luckily SIL and BIL were happy to help but god I am such a doofus.

Has anyone used or knows anything about snappies cloth nappies? They are pretty cheap, was thinking of buying some to test them out depending on their postage costs but wondering if anyone has any reviews on them?

Jenna good luck with your diet.

i got to go, try get washing done and up the shop while ther is some sun and hope for warmth out!

Just went looking through my boys blue books my eldest got his 1st 2 teeth at 4mths the other 2 boys at 5 months.

Is anyones bub rolling over yet my eldest son was rolling over at 14weeks and comando crawling at 16 weeks crawling at 5mths walking at 9mths the other 2 boys were crawling at 6mths and walking at 12 & 13 mths i think little miss is going to be lazy she doesnt even try to roll over yet and hates being on her belly unless on a heat pack for belly pain.
She chews and sucks her hands and is starting to try and reach out for her toys hanging on her moblie but she seems to be a real baby baby still newbornish not grown up looking like some bubs and she sleeps all the time she only has a wakeful period of an hour in the morning and again after lunch then has a 2-3 period in the late arvo when its bath time but she mostly sleeps.

ferrals: chase hates his belly too, just lies there and cries with his face planted into the mat so not interested in rolling over at all. Also hates his bumbo seat, just sits there with his head bent back and crying. I think he is going to be very slow to do things but I think thats to be expected. Oh well, he just has to stay my chubby baby boy :)

sarah: yeah im pretty crap with the slow cooker. the last two meals I tried both came out...weird??? LOL Someday I'll find a good receipe that works! Your whole family seems to be in the wars at the moment with this flu thingy going around. DH has some sort of cold but luckily C and I don't have it yet. How your guys all feel better soon.

Kylz: Are the teeth out yet??? Chase chews on my fingers like there is no tomorrow, like actually clamps down and he drools now so I have to put a bib on him pretty much all day but I keep feeling his gums looking for a bump to show a tooth is going to sprout but so far nothing.
