Yep and they said he just wakes up when they put other kids in. I'm going to look around as much as I like them I'm just not happy with how it's going. He was that tired he went to bed at 6 last night and woke at 6 this morning.

kylz: phew i kind of wish chase did those hours. last night was one of the worst nights for me. He had a temp of 38.1 and so gave him the panadol before his last feed and fed him and put him to bed. Just as i was about to go to bed at midnight he wakes up crying and carrying on. I put him in bed with me and for two hours he was awake, sucking one boob then the other. Finally get him to sleep, i move to sleep on the floor as im so tired and chase is on my side of the bed. After about an hour on the floor when i am certain chase wont wake up i creep back into bed but lie with my head at the foot end cos i wont fit the other way. Around 6am Dh gets up and I so thankfully get in his side of the bed and two seconds later chase is awake screaming again. Poor bubby. I hope its not still teething, he already has the two bottom teeth. He still felt a bit hot today but his temp was closer to 37.4 so i think its going down. So i had a crap night sleep, spent most of it on the floor or curled up in a tiny ball at the bottom of my bed Work tomorrow.

jaki: i plan to give chase things to chew on that i am eating as well, little bit of both worlds. Im just afriad to give him what i eat cos i eat crap most of the time, or stuff he cant eat.

oh question for formula mums, do you still steralise your bottles? Im not too sure on bottle stuff cos chase only uses them on fridays and i keep lugging around my electric steriliser but if i dont have to anymore that would be awesome

[Beautiful Disaster]

Nope haven't for a few months

[Jakabella]

Yeah I still sterilize.. Will till goes onto cows milk.. Hth

[ellasmummy]

I give Chlo a sippy cup with boiled water sometimes and don't sterelize that......but dunno about for formula sorry hun. I know you don't have to sterelize spoons,bowls etc so you'd think as long as its washed in hot soapy water or dishwasher it would be fine....meanwhile if Chloe has a crap night like that I just kick DH out, and me and c get the bed

[ellasmummy]

Kylz how did J go this week? Did you talk to the daycare?

[Beautiful Disaster]

He was better yesterday but they still didnt listen re: the 2 serves of adult yoghurt so I have found a new one (used to be an ABC but now privatly owned and the group leader in his room has been in that room for 10yrs) that is wayyy better for only a little bit more. THe room is brighter the toys are newer and the staff took an interest in Jus and I so he starts there on 27th. They are willing to do whatever it takes to get him in his home routine where i think the current one is just too busy to care which is sad. BUT OMG I Looked at a centre that 2 friends kids go to and I can now see why they are both ALWAYS sick. Gross it was dirty and hot and gross. They have a farm yard out in the playground and it STANK. Poooooeeeeeee Sorry but animals dont belong in a child care centre and to top it off there was NO security to get into the place. you simply walk in. The new place you need a pin number to get through the front door.

We were told at mothers group that when they hit 4-5 months you shouldnt any more. I used VERY hot water though.

[Jakabella]

Yeah there are a few schools of thought on that one but I just find it easy to do so ill keep doing it a bit longer, same as I did with Bella.

My MCHN recomends sterilizing till 1 - iv been with her for nearly 3 years now so I trust her, so Ill keep going a bit longer.

[KittyK]

Thanks mums. I'll just leave the sterilizer at my mums and she can decide if she wants to bother. The good thing about my electric one is it only takes 8 mins so not a huge hassle. had the same awful night in a row is seven months a growth spurt time or something? It's either that or maybe his top teeth are wanting to come out

[WeeMansMummy]

I don't, I used to not bother for BM an sterilise for formula but I'm so last. Just really hot soapy water.
I hate the way they look when they come out of the steriliser, all spotty and stuff.

I eat crap too but wyatt has whatever is healthy in the house. If that's nothing then I give him cereal and a steamed pear or something. We are not weekly shoppers so there isn't often food in the house.
Yesterday we discovered we love cottage cheese and avo with toast.
Bls is messy tho, I feel like I nee to bath him 3 times a day!

[ellasmummy]

Omg jaki it is so messy!! I'm a meanie though and only do food with her 1-2 times a day. Last night she was filthy, and only had zuchini,brocoli and sweet potato. How the hell it got so messy, I dont know seen as that's relatively clean food! Can't wait til its warmer so she can eat in just a nappy

We are taking Chloe to her first fireworks tonight! See if shes amazed,scared,or completely uninterested!!

Hiya!
i rememberd to come see you lovely ladies!!
SJ, nope still havent found a houebut the owner has put his renervations on hold for a month or 2 so i have a little more time, the agents know ive been looking, just not susessful how is having your DSS living there full time going? i remember when we were carers for B's brother, and im dreading the teen years from it!
Kylz, that would be a helth and saftey issue with the animals wouldnt it? when trent started they had baby chickens in the kinder room, but had very strict rules if they wanted to go near them. we have to put in a code to get in aswell, i sent Brendan on a pick up, once he was in the door they gave him 50 Q's and he had to prove he was dad hes to scared to go back!!
Kitty, i dont steralize never have. i wash with hot soapy water then rinse. every week or 2 i boil them on the stove depending how lazy i am.


*there was more.... but its past my bedtime and i cant remember!!

Miss A was 6 months yesterday my big-yet-still-tiny baby girl had her first solid dinner, 3 hot chips, and half the insides of a dim sim!
the other week i cut a chunk of K's apple and she sat happily in her walker eating it, so it looks like she will be skipping purees and mash, each time i try her with one, jar or home made she chokes on it, even the tinyest bit, but loves finger sised food, go figuer!
Another thing the cheeky monkey dose, she will only sleep half hour at a time in the cot, but would sleep all night in the todler bed if i didnt have to put Krystal in it. she has done 4hrs straight in it & im sure she would have slept all night if i let her!

well im off to bed, we FINALY after all these years have a routine, boys in bed by 8:30, girls soon after, if A is still up she nods off with me, we get up at 6 then the kids start the day anytime from 7:30, giving me a few hrs peace at night, and a few more of a morning.

Night you yummy mummies!
