Babies Born ~ September 2007 #54

PP atm things seems to be fine with Alister - what made a huge difference was stopping the toddler milk. So the irony was that we gave him that thinking that it made up for the not eating and all the other issues but in reality it was causing some of them. Since he has been off it his eating has improved out of sight. His eczema has flared a bit lately though and not sure if that's the heat or cows milk, not that he has a lot of milk now anyway.

With the wakeups, as you know we had a shocking time with Alister but that was more to do with reflux than any developmental thing. I noticed it a lot with Erin, but once she started crawling at 4.5 months it settled again.

Arte - LOL at your camping adventure, what a mission.

Noni - You might be surpised at how easy it is for A to let go of the dummy? M was so attached too, even wanted it during the day while playing. However she has been fine without it. Takes a bit longer to fall asleep but thats ok.

Kate - The ENT dr said to me if kids have 3 or 4 (cant remember) ear infections within a 6 month period they look at putting grommets in. That is what M is getting done this Friday.

Just a quick one to let you all know I'm still around, hope you are all well.

I hope the next two days fly by for you H :hug:

With the dummy thing, we took Lindsays away at 6mths because he just didn't need it - would go to sleep without it and never woke during the night to need resettling with it so he was easy. Erin was about this age too, being an October bub and we gave hers to Santa. that worked well too but there were a few days where she kicked up about not having it. DH wants to do the same with Alister but he's still a bit wakeful at times where he needs it to get back to sleep and he's a lot more attached to it. We might leave it till Easter ;)

If M was waking for it & needing it to go back to sleep, I would have kept it a bit longer too!! Anything to keep them sleeping. But with her the dummy was just becoming something she wanted during playtime as well, so we decided to put a stop to that lol.

MP - I forgot to say I so hear you on the fussy eating now! M has been pretty good so far, but lately she is SOOOOO fussy ahhhhh!!

MM, good luck for tomorrow. Will be thinking of you and Maddie

MD, DH packs almost the entire house when we go away - we even had a 20L can of petrol with us but for some reason it got left in the car lol

Oz, glad L is dealing with Z's arrival well.

Hi to everyone, not much computer time lately.

Oh, and I am surprised you can't find the giant pumpkin seeds - I will have a look at the variety tomorrow to see if that helps. I could send you some over but I am not sure how MAF would like that

Arte you just reminded me. The other day I brought some heirloom tomato seeds and you need to look for Atlantic Giant Pumpkins - google it and you'll find someplaces to buy the seeds online if anyone is still interested.

Probably couldn't see it under all the other stuff LOL!

MM just wanted to pop on and say good luck with everything tomorrow, I'm sure it will all go well. I can say that as an 'adult survivor' of ear grommets LOL.

MP yay for another kg! Well done. I'm another who doesn't have anything good to say about the sleep regression we had at 5 mths, so I'll just keep it to myself.

Missy E has been super whingey today, hope she's not brewing something!

Not much going on here...
S has been in such a mood lately too MD, maybe E is going out in sympathy for S.
Good luck tomorrow MM, hugs for M .
Congrats on the weight loss MP

Sorry to everyone I've missed, got no brain in at the moment. Just thought I'd pop in and say hey

Awww thanks girls, the hardest part of the day will be the fasting. As she is the youngest going in for operation that day, she goes first, so 7am. Thank goodness because her fave meal of the day is brekky!! But we have a longgggg drive to the hospital without her having any brekky or fluid.
