He only seems to do when he's mucking around at the end of a feeds or while trying to latch on, so I'm guessing that just telling him no and taking it away will work eventually...I hope!
As for Tizzie Hall, I've flipped through bits of it - CC, CIO and weird ultra strict routines seem to be what she's advocating, which just feels wrong to me.
Alex grabs things all the time, and most of the time they get dragged straight into his mouth. He also likes to hold onto the bars of his cradle. Going to go get him a bumbo seat because he loves sitting up on our laps, just hoping his chubby legs fit
CK ohh I hope the telling him no works! Heh cheeky boy!!
Is there anything I should be doing to encourage violet to start grabbing stuff other than offering toys etc?
We have a bumbo seat!! Violet fits but yeah her chubby legs are tight too! Hahahhaha. She's a bit little for it I think but almost ready!
Going to have our photographer friend take some pics on Sunday- and mum leant me one of my super cute dresses from when I was a baby to put on violet for some of the photos! Heheh!
She'll start when she's ready - just keep offering toys within grabbing reach and playing with her on the floor. Alex loves it when I tickle him with bits of his toys etc.
Man I'll be glad when I'm over this cold. Here it is nice and cool for a change and I'm bathed in sweat from being sick. Blargh!
Alex's Itti Bittis arrived the other day, they're awesome! Only leak I've had was because he was accidentally pointing to the side in the nappy and missed all the soaker pads...
Uggh I'm so tired!!! This baby never sleeps. Some days I manage better than others. DS was sick last night with a wheezy cough and he pretty much kept me up all night, then add in Jessica's wakings and I'm a sad and grumpy mumma today.
It can be a tough gig! Inlaws came over today so hopefully now we can be on better terms. Will just have to keep my mouth closed from now on and accept how they are.
Hope everyone is well. Lilly went to the beach for the first time and was unimpressed! Lol
The more you wash them CK the better they get
Jan, I hope the new treatments help her. The new pead has given us Zantac to try and a nasal spray as Lilly is always itching her nose and coughing and he said it might have an impact on the reflux fingers crossed.
I hope you can improve your relationship with them Jan but dont let them treat you like crap
Mutual Respect
Jan, while you may not ever see eye to eye with them, hopefully you can find some middle ground somewhere.
Well, I'm on the tail end of the cold now I think, but Alex has started coughing. Doesn't seem to be in any discomfort though and looks up at me with a big cheeky grin whenever he does, so not sure if he's possibly getting sick or just copying me because I've been coughing so much lately and he thinks it's funny. Fingers crossed that he's just copying!!
He's still biting me the little bugger, usually towards the end of a breast, as the flow slows down I think. So I'm trying to persist with the firm no, remove and turn him away from me while still holding him for a few minutes before offering again. Hopefully he'll get the message soon, it flipping hurts!
Sadly Alex wasn't just copying - he's been really uncomfortable with a dose of my stupid-ass cold Has made him super cuddly as he just wants to snuggle in for comfort. Picked up some Fess for his nose if it gets really bad and he's had a few doses of panadol as he's been wimpering and crying a fair bit today. Having had it myself, I know it starts with a sore throat and blocked sinuses which gives a nasty headache. Hoping it doesn't stick around very long.
My brother and niece fly home tonight. Been awesome having them here, catching up and teasing each other like we always used to.
Awww poor Alex, must be hard watching him get sick being so young, hope he gets better real quick!
Jan hope everything starts to settle for you, you've had a really rough few months.
I'm not sure if we are completely mad or not but we are heading over to QLD & NSW end of March but where driving eeeeeeek!!! We got so many places to go see from QLD to NSW that it isn't viable to fly then drive a hire car. It's been so full on the last couple of days, we've decided to move back to QLD next year after DH gets his long service but so much to do in the meantime with finishing the house off with reno's etc. Busy busy times ahead and plus I wanted to commence study next year but I might have to check if I can do a mid year intake cos I think beginning of next year will be too full on with us moving interstate etc.
CK how is Alex? Poor little thing with his first cold. Hopefully it disappears quickly.
Danni wow!! Have you thought about moving before or a recent thing? Yes you will be busy!! Makes life interesting though.
DH sent me out today as I was feeling down in the dumps. Did some retail therapy. Though not impressed at buying jeans two sizes larger. Grrr!!! It was nice to finally eat sushi again after so long!!!!
We moved to WA from QLD 7 yrs ago, so moving interstate doesn't bother me besides leaving behind friends.
The trip is all go ATM, the boys are fine traveling with been there done that. We did a North WA Kimberly's region trip when DS2 was 6 months old so i think it will be fine
I can't believe how much packing I have to do for a 3 night holiday lol. Ive packed 2 outfits for each day after the amount of dribbling Levi is doing lately, yesterday he went through 4 bibs with drool and sick, I think I'd best double the amount I have already packed. Haven't even started packing for hubby and I lol.
I was going to bake again tomorrow for brother in laws birthday but mother in law is insisting she does it. I don't think she realized how much I wanted too. Oh well, I'll have to find another excuse when I'm back from holidays
Enjoy your holiday Amumma Ours was great! Wow 0 Already! Lilly will be moving up into 00 soon I think. She is 6.5kg now.
Wow Dan all the way to QLD? Good luck with the move!
Baby Bunting have a sale on the Bumbo's seats atm CK they are $75 with free delivery including the tray. Couldnt find it cheaper elsewhere so I ordered one
Hooray for retail therapy Jan! Yeah I feel the same way about clothes at the moment, have a bunch of weight to shift to get back down to a size 14. Pesky baby bulge!
Never need an excuse to bake Just bake! Then freeze it and feed it to hubby with his lunches over the course of the next week, that is what I do.
Heh, Big W have them advertised for $54 so was going to go there. He's just getting so frustrated wanting to sit or stand up most of the time. Need to check that his chubby little legs fit before I buy him one though. Might go have a look tomorrow.
Today he's being the king of catnappers. I know he's tired, but he's so busy playing he's finding it hard to wind down for sleeps and he wakes up after only a short time. Though last night he made me laugh - he was laying on his mat playing with his toys and chattering to himself when he went quiet...looked across and he'd fallen asleep, just as though he'd conked out mid-play
Hard to believe our bubbas are all nearly 3 months old, or already 3 months old! Time is just flying so quickly...

you are all being waaaaaaaaaaaay too talkative!
