Hey guys,
Just a quick one. Having a bit of a hard time with River at the moment. I know if I carry him around he sleeps, so that's fine, but even with that, the last few days have been difficult. I don't want to do the self-settling thing but am not sure what choice I have? He just will NOT be settled any other way bar being held, and then is very difficult to put down without him waking. Oh well, I guess we will persevere a bit.

Ok, gotta go, TTFN

I had to do the self settling as its just me here. It happened by accident and now he's bigger I close the door and make a cuppa, and he's usually gone to sleep. I figure he's crying because we're both overtired, and I don't see it as CC at all, we are classed as being co-sleepers as he is in the same room as me. They are more little cries than full on iykwim.

One night I managed to get him to sleep in his rocker, so I've also either put it next to or on the bed next to me as well.

I just think of myself, my Mum used more CC on me, and I don't know about that, but I do know self settling it does form a good sleeping habit. I think of some friends as adults who have trouble getting off to sleep..if that is the reason why they can't get to sleep?

Hey EMc are you still wanting to sell your Medela swing, thats the electric one right? I might be interested

Jacob keeps trying to walk, if I try play with him on the floor he gets cranking till I hold him up around his chest and then he'll smile and start putting one foot in front of the other. Crazy stuff. He can't even roll from back to tummy yet, or sit up or crawl and he's trying to walk! cheeky bugger!

Yes BBB I have just put it in the Weekend Shopper..but I'm happy to cancel the ad lol

hi all! been a while since I've been on Belly Belly and thought I better get myself sorted and start nattering in here wit you guys!!
for those who don't know me yet I'm Beck, mum to Susanna - 2, and Elizabeth who is nearly 12 weeks whoa!! she was born 12th May and is an absolute darling! second child definitely much easier so far! She has the dairy in tolerances that Susie had but nowhere near as bad, I just use rice/soy milk, and only have small amount of milk/cheese/chocolate and she's not too bad. bit burpy and spewy but nothing severe like with Susie (who screamed all evening till midnight fr the first 6 months!!) she's a pretty good sleeper too! usually does an 8 - 10 hour block at night, and prob 2/3 of the time has a couple of good naps during the day. always put her down asleep though, am a cuddle/rock to sleep mummy! frustrating occassionally but I know from susie they grow out of it eventually and you really treasure the moments in the early months!!

how's everyone's baby's weight going? Lizzie was 6.85kg at her 2 month checkup lol (10 weeks old), that was Susie's weight at 10 months! so first baby below the charts, second baby above the charts!! she'a such a cutie, gives lovely smiles, and loves to watch and smile at her big sis!

BBB how long did lil Jacob go before he pooed? Lizzie is a once r twice a week bub lol! first time she went 11 days I started to get a bit worried..but she had gained a lot of weight that week lol

[emc2]

Jim's weight is alright, sometimes he has pooed twice a day, but I was comp feeding him pretty much from birth. The more runny the poo the more breastmilk he was having. TBH the formula poos aren't that smelly, they are just as easy to wash off the nappy.

Mum minded Jim yesterday, so I went to Kmart. Surprisingly they had plastic pilchers there. So I have some BBH PUL covers and some plastic pilchers. I am glad I bought the hemp fitteds from BBH on the weekend as the price has gone back up (multifits). He doesn't quite fit into them yet, but I have bought those for overnight rather than using disposables.
