Yaaaawwwnnnnn, this thread is a snooze fest! ROFL
What been happening chicks?!
Not much here. Got the rolling hapnin. Tried some solids, VERY not keen. The faces are hilarious
Registered User
I truly never thought I'd be the mum who applauded poos and tried to talk my kids through them... But I am that person
I've been doing "lazy solids", as I put it - if I feel like it, she'll get some puree, and a lot of meals I'll share a bit with her. She's gagged a couple of times (my bad, I wasn't watching as closely as I should've and didn't notice she'd got a bigger chunk off!) but she's taken to it well. I feel a bit guilty at not sticking to the original "get to six months" thing, but she's happy and seems to love sharing with mummy
No teeth yet, either, though we think some are on their way soon. She wants to be on the move! She managed to twist from feet towards me to feet away from me the other dayand she's been trying to sit by herself for over a month. Hasn't mastered it yet though. She can sit using her hands sometimes but tends to tip sideways - or leap forward and smash her head on the ground like last week! Scared the poop out of me!

How is everyone? It has been quiet in here!!
Chloe is rolling everywhere from one end of the house to the other, but can only roll one way lol. Wants to sit but not balanced enough. No teeth but they are so close, and bothering her a bit. Getting weighed Wednesday. No solids yet, waiting for my BLS book to arrive. She drank ebm out of a sippy cup yesterday.
I've started at the gym. Holy owies I am so unfit!!

I joined a gym when Eden was 7 weeks, but was only going once or twice a week to the classes. I haven't gone every week coz there have been weeks one or both (or one then the other) kids were sick. Same last week, Eden had a really green nose and they told me, without actually saying it, she can't come back it til it's cleared. It cleared, but now she's got this horrible cough.
She finally went to her own room the other day. She was supposed to go on Thursday, but the cough sounded croup-y again and I wanted her near me. Friday night she was there, and woke once. Saturday was J's birthday party and instead of her 3 naps that are normally between 1-1.5hr, she had one nap for half an hour. all day. That was it. Then woke 8+ times (I lost count after 4 and dh got up to her 4 times). Slept ok last night, woke once at 4:30. Tonight is wake up #2 and I dragged her back to our room coz she won't let me put her back to bed coz she keeps feeding, and it's cold down there. As soon as the feed is over though, back to her room she goes.
Rolling happened about 2 weeks ago, but she's not happy being on the floor at all. If she's on the floor, you've gotta be there too. Just will not amuse herself. Prefers to sit. Shed unsteady but she can sit there! Can't leave her coz she'll fall to the side, but sometimes to can see her put her hand out to stop herself, which does nothing coz she doesn't put pressure on it.
No solids here, but boy, is she ready! She was probably ready about 3 weeks ago, but I want to wait it out til 6 months ( I'll speak to a dr or nurse about it on Friday) as she has reaction to her vaccination and they bind those with all sorts of things like egg and dairy and latex. We're booked in for a special vaccination clinic at the Mater for the next lot.
This has been longer than I expected, and she's finally asleep!

I couldn't find the bls book anywhere in coffs. I'm gonna borrow it from aba when I get back, I also want to chat to my aba group leader about her thoughts on it all. She is my lactation consultant at the Hosp and knows my obsession with starving Wyatt. I asked the child health nurses and the Hosp nutritionist their opinions but the are dead set against bls.
At this stage he doesn't seem keen on either method so will wait it out. I kinda have a plan to do both if possible. Like maybe give him the food and a bit of a purée top up? He is not a great BFer and still pretty small
BellyBelly Member
Yeah jak I'm planning on doing a bit of both, I ordered the BLS book online and a cookbook for really cheap, it was one recommended on a thread here. I'm sticking to the motto 'food is fun until they're one'. Thought I would hold off til 6 months but my girl wants food now lol. 5 months old today so I think I've made her wait long enough, will try her on some carrot or potato in a few days I think....I ordered the bloody book weeks ago, I'm sure it will tell me what I already know anyway lol. How's your holiday?
Omg rhi those wake ups would kill me!! What kind of reaction did E have to the immunisations?
Teni I'm one of those poo talking mums too lol, even though I swore I wouldn't be!!
Kylz can't believe j man is 6 months!

aww,It's hard, isn't it? Although ds was older, it was still hard. You probably wont feel any better until you pick him up, lol. Are you back at work today?
4 wake ups last night. She just had a feed, went back to sleep, and that lasted 15 mins. so now she's chatting in her room and she can stay there. I'm going to listen to lecture capture, as my exam is on Saturday. Whats the bet Eden wakes up a million times Friday night?
2 month (6 week) needles, Eden's left leg came up in a massive welt that was a ball, and a mark that spread out across her thigh, high temp and very sensitive in that whole thigh, cranky in general. I took pictures so I when she went for her 4 month needles, I could show the nurse. I had to see the dr for it specifically (instead of just the "is she fine?" "yep" "ok, needles"). We were told to stay after for 15 mins to check for any other reaction. Specific vaccinations go into specific legs (ie: vaccination X goes into left leg, vaccination Y into right leg), so they were keen to watch the left leg. No reaction in the left leg, but a similar reaction in the right leg and a whole body rash with a slight rise in temp. Dr seems to think that it's because she was in a room with a heater, then because we sat in the room with the heater. So, we moved to a room with no heater, and still the rash remained. But they're sending us to the Mater for the next vaccinations.
