Thanks Amumma.
That's so cute :) How's his Auslan going? Was is just something you wanted to teach him or do you have friends or reletives that are hearing imparied? (Just interested as my mum taught the deaf for many years shes a teacher) Lilly is in the big bath with us now, growing too fast! Thankfully she slept from 8pm - 6:30am and was super cheery this morning. Was a nice rest :)
I hope his teeth don't bother him too much, Lilly's arent even visable and she is in so much pain :( WOW he is growing so fast! Going to be a big boy!
Lilly still cranks at me when I give her tummy time, she can lift herself easily but dosent like it for some reason, I think she gets frustrated she can't move LOL
Hope everyone is having a great day :)

Hooray forums.
Wrapping success :) and discovered after introducing thickener Lilly likes a top up before bed. I really think her reflux was still bothering her. Thanks for the help guys, fingers crossed :)
Bought her a bouncer yesturday, she loves it Watches me do the washing up and fold the washing and her nappies hehe :)
Jan, the thickener really helped Lilly's reflux does Jess have something similar it might help? Also I found this website today, perhaps you can get more tailored support aside from Tressilian who just look after sleep issues?

AM Levi must be a bit boy.
Lolpigs glad it's working with Lily.
We went out to dinner last night for DH's work and left the boys with friends and just took Abby with us. Wow did she put on a patty cos she wasn't home.. She is a complete angel at home but I couldn't settle her at all last night, all she wanted was to sleep but wouldn't sleep on me and in the end she had a short nap in the pram from us rocking the pram.

Lolpigs, I wanted to learn it and there are mixed classes here (deaf, vision impaired and learning difficulties). I have started doing signs at him when he's watching but I he doesn't have enough hand co ordination to respond yet.
Levi was 6.91kg on Wednesday lol. He's almost into 0s lol
-
I feel your pain Danni - have had a roughish couple of days with Alex, as my brother and niece are here from Brissie so we've been out a fair bit. The weather certainly hasn't been helping, we wound up with an over-tired, over-heated meltdown last night just before we were meant to be going out for my bro's 40th. Eventually managed to settle him down but having a cool shower and leaving him in just a nappy for a while, and I think he's catching up on sleep today, been asleep most of the day aside from a few wake-ups for feeds and such.
Yay for finding something that works at least for a while Lolpigs :)
Wow Levi is a big boy AM! Mind you, Alex is cracking 6.5kg by now I'd say, sometimes when I'm feeding him he's such a dead weight
-
CK the breastfeeding pillow is a god send when he is really sleepy and feeding.
I weigh Levi weekly at the Child and Youth Health centre. They are doing getting to know your baby classes, settling, massage and notice about other avaiable services. It's a 6 week course.
-
Lolpigs I'm so glad you have found something working for Lily. I swaddle Aubrees otherwise she wakes herself up.
I love my feeding pillow. When I was pregnant I thought it would be the biggest waste of money.. My grandma bought me one as a gift, and its honestly the best!!!
Aubree is so little compared to Levi and Alex! When I weighed her last week she was 5.1kg, so almost double her birth weight :) but still a petite little girl.
Hope you all had wonderful weekends!

Levi slept from 8:30pm to 7:30am lol. It stormed here last night and our roof is tin, if he's anything like me he would of loved it. Pitty I didn't sleep as well as I could of :(
-
Hello Ladies, hope you and all yr gorgeous bubs are going well :)
The weather here in melbourne has been GROSS!
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh this humidity is CRAP!!!
Harriett has got a flu or cold ... poor thing has had a fever on and off since last night!
Zoe was unsettled last night as well! Hope she isn't getting it :( She seems fine today, I took her down to the shops as I needed to get some more panadaol and nurofen for H, and while there, the Terry White Chemist has this area for weighing babies now! Got a free goodies bag as well! bonus!
Soooo.... Zoe is 13 weeks old today and is weighing :o 7.065kg
:doh:
-
Aww Nikky that sucks! I hope Zoe doesn't catch it! Or you for that matter! Poor harriett!
Poor violet has little bits of eczema on her face- anyone else's baby getting this? I heard they get eczema from about 2 months old.. I get it myself a bit but hoped she wouldn't get it, poor thing!
She keeps stuffing her fist so far into her mouth that she gags!
Lolpigs- YAY @ the wrapping and thickener! :) :) :)
-
Amanda what do you use for the eczema? When Abby had that rash I slapped on the trusty sudocream.
Nikky nothing worse than having a flu through summer, hope Harriet recovers quick.
Abby was 5.2kg a couple of weeks ago. I was trying to think when the weight gain stabilizes a bit but couldn't think.
She's ok this morning but was really grumpy over the weekend, more so each afternoon. Yesterday as I was putting her in the car she did this cry as though I had pinched her with the seat belt of something, she really wasn't happy. She slept till 6:30 this morning from about 8:30 last night, she didn't even open the eyes for the 10pm feed it was just quickly put it in her mouth feed and bed straight away and then this morning she fed at 6:30 and went straight back to bed till 10:30. She's definitely a baby that likes her little routine.

Well little mister hasn't liked being wrapped threw me a curve ball last night. He's been quite unsettled with our routines being all out of whack with my brother here and the weather being feral, had another screaming meltdown last night that not even a car ride would fix. Got home and thought I'd try a shower, wrapped him in a towel to get him ready and as soon as I wrapped him he stopped crying. So I rewrapped him in a sheet as it was cooler than his towel, he had a little feed laying in bed with me then went right off to sleep. I loosened the wrap once he was in bed asleep, but aside from a couple of short wakes for feeds he stayed in bed till nearly 8am!
We're currently at the pools, he's fast asleep as splashing in the heated baby pool is tiring work apparently. For those who take their bubs swimming though, how long do you usually keep them in for before they get too cold?
-
CK just use him as judgement, there lips tend to turn a bit purpleish when a bit cold and goosebumps too I find. Generally we only have Abby in the pool for half hour and she's had enough. Then I give her time laying on a towel naked to kick around. Dry him first of course and presuming your more than a few meters away from people and in the shade :)

Danni, I bought aveeno baby dry skin cream for eczema- but I might try the trusty sudocream! Thanks for the tip! The aveeno cream doesn't seem to clear it up...!
Er, excuse my ignorance but what nappies do you use when taking baby swimming?! Or do you not use a nappy? Hahaha I feel dumb asking that!
CK- so weird about Alex's sudden desire to be wrapped after hating it! How interesting!! He's trying to keep you on your toes hey!
Got a different GP cos my old one wouldn't give us WC vacs
(said we were probably already immune- I thought that was a bit negligent so got a new GP) anyway the new GP wanted to do a blood test to check immunity too... Sooo DH and I had a blood test this morning to check! Ugh what a lot of fuss!
I have booked a women's physio appt for Friday to work on getting my tummy muscles to join back together! It's expensive but if it helps, then it's worth it! My tummy is pretty flat again but about 5cm gap in between the muscles!!!!
-
heheh amanda - you can buy baby swimmer nappies. They don't expand in water :)
-
Yep, Huggies make swim nappies or some companies make reuseable cloth ones too. Was talking to another mum today who uses a cloth swim nappy and she said they work fine for BF poo too :)
Thanks for that tip Danni, we're mostly in heated pools indoors, so go have a warm shower afterwards. A physio attached to the hospital he was born at does baby-swim from 8 weeks, so thinking I might sign him up as he loves the water already :)
-
We have emptied the pool and it's going to be filled in so Levi can have a fenced play area :) just have to get hubby off his ass to do it lol.
Feeling very grumpy and out of sorts tonight. Like I use to before a period, hope I'm not getting one yet :(
-
I was like that the other day too AM and I had a slight amount of spotting but nothing since... dunno what's going on!!
