Hi all,
Alison Glad Dh's friend turned out to not be so bad. But I can't believe she expected all the running around to be done especially as u have a new born. I have the Bebe baby ace and love it. You can steer one handed. I think it's about 11kgs. However because you fold it up (whilst in bassinett mode) in 2seperate parts it is very light. One thing I really researched was the pram and I am glad I did as I am really happy with it.
It seems as though most of us are having a rough time with all the bubs not wanting to sleep during the day.
Yesterday Jett had 2 catnaps of about 20mins each between 6am and 12noon. I went to lunch with the girls from antenatal classe and he only slept about 40mins while we were out and then between 3pm and 9.30pm he had little 10min catnaps and would then be screaming. I had tried everything feeding bath nappy change play time but nothing worked. I finally settled him with a bottle of formula and he slept for 6hrs. I am awake and feeding now. He also just did a massive poo. I think that could have been his problem as it had been 5 days since he had done one. Which is how he has been since birth he only poos every few days and everyone keeps saying that is ok.
Well sorry for a selfish post.
Hope everyone is managing with bubs everyone tells me it gets easier n you forget these first few months.
Feed has finished so hopefully a burp n back to bed.
Good Morning Baby Buddies..
I am currently writing this whilst Lila (my 22 month old) is at my chair begging me to lift her up so she can look at movies of her on the computer. It's a real juggle at the moment with her as she is getting quite jelous when I do anything other than play with her...Especially in the mornings when I am feeding Sienna. It is all good though, Sienna has become such a good sleeper. (I am very sceptical to say that....!). Brussels, Lila was an absolute nightmare as a baby. She had the worst colic and was a very chucky baby and wanted feeds every 2 hours. Like you say though, you do kind of forget to the point that you can do it all again.....we are glad we have as Sienna is a totally different baby and Lila is a beautiful little girl.
We have also bought a safe and sound support pillow that Sienna sleeps with, it's basically two long round pillows joined together with material that you can adjust with velcro and you can place baby on their side to sleep and they won't fall on to their front, I find that when Sienna has bad tummy pain it relieves her as she doesn't have the same pressure she does when lying on her back. If that fails we put her in the rocker for sleeps and she gets rocked to sleep.
Everyone seams to be getting out and doing lots of things, which is great. I went for a great walk the other day for about an hour and a half with the two girls. Sienna slept most of the time and Lila fell asleep just before I got home, It's funny as I really procrastinated about going as I just thought of all the worst things that could happen...ie: crying baby all the way and a toddler who just bucks to get out of the pram, but they were both so good. So in future I am just going to do things and not preempt them. I might just be surprised
Alison, I have got a Phil and Ted's pram. It has been fantastic and now we can use it with both kiddies. When Lila got a little older so she could sit up, we bought a quinny zapp and I am using that at the moment with sienna in the baby bjorn when I do a quick shop. I liked the Phil and Teds as I can take it on long walks too.
Ops got to go...I hear a baby crying and I think it's morning tea!
and Lila is a beautiful little girl.
