hey all
Still here
just been sooo flat out- just sat down now after finishing all the daily's!
DH now has gladular fever - so of course he is soo tired all the time and sleeping heaps- great!!! So picking up his slack as well.
i have been slowly loosing my voice all week- just so tired but just gotta keep going at the moment
tommorow we are getting professional photos taken of boof!! Will post when i get them back so that will be fun!
dunno if i have posted for ages but had boof weighed a couple of weeks ago at 6 months and he was 9.5kg and 70 cm long.
He is loving his solids and tonite started giving him bits and pieces that we ate as well as a start to BLS! Boof ate some roast chicken and some brocolli- even without a single tooth he managed to down some of it!! Will be limited a little with BLS as not going to introduce dairy for a bit longer- DD is lactose intollerant and have a feeling that boof's excema is caused by me having dairy.
time to tend to my farm and then off to bed!
nite girls and sorry for the selfish post!

Hi girls,
Still here. Last night was 7 feeds which is an improvement on the previous nights. So fare we have had 1. I have double wrapped her tonight to see if that helps reduce wakenings. Went to the clinic today and waited an hour and a half then left as they just seemes to be taking foreaver and I needed a coffee. DD was coping better than me!
Will let you know how I end up going with tonights wakenings tomorrow. Off to bed now whilst she is asleep.
Personals tomorrow :grouphug:
-
ali- how did you go last night?
are you co-sleeping?
-
Ali - I hope you night was better!
Det - Poor you with the sickies in your house! I hope you manage to avoid it all. I think my girls are coming down with another cold and this morning their eyes were a bit gunky so I hope they aren't getting conjunctivitis!!
AFM - I have been so busy just running around getting stuff sorted. Miss J is being just beautiful and sleeping well at night. Daytimes are a different story as she is still usually doing 40min at a time. She is loving her solids and lets me know when it's food time. She start to get cross and bangs her hands on the tray if I am not quick enough. She leans forward to spoon with her mouth wide open. She is actually eating quite a lot which I am surprised about but am not complaining as she seems to really enjoy the food. I am making it all myself so she is just having pureed vegies and fruit with rice cereal in the morning at the moment. I will keep her on that for a while introducing some lentils in a month or so and maybe some natural yoghurt.
Work rang me yesterday with some projects to work on so I will have a bit to do over the next few weeks - oh well some money coming in for me at least.

Hi girls - quick one from me. Had a rough few days here - Jacob seems to be teething - he is VERY unsettled. Mr. Grizzle pants. Woke heaps last night (for him) with lots of crying which is unusual and I had gone to bed with the beginnings of mastitis :doh: plus my supply seems to be dropping too :( So I had to get the pump out at 2:30am and so far after pumping after two feeds got nothing out (which is what makes me think my supply has dropped). Hopefully I've kept mastitis at bay. We had just about every other breastfeeding problem in the first 3 months I thought I'd dodged this but apparently not.
All I want to do is go back to bed but I've got my mums group coming here tomorrow (plus tradespeople at the same time :rolleyes: ) so I've got to tidy up and make room for them in the lounge room.
Hopefully bbl for personals. :hug: to all. xx

HI girls,
We had a much better night last night. WEnt down at 6:30, fed at 11. Woke at 12:30 but left her grizzlig and she self settled back to sleep. I woke at 4am with a fright as I hadnt heard from her and thought she might have suffocated or something so had to check on her and me going into her stirred her so I fed her then and she slept until 7:30am! Also having a good day as I lost 3.2Kg at WW today! Woohoo! Another 30Kg to lose to get to my ideal weight though!
:hug: Kaz, I hope you get some better sleep tonight so you are okay for your busy day tomorrow.
Nai- Hope they dont get too sick. It seems like a vicious cycle :clap: on the weight loss!!!! You go girl! THat is fantastic!
DEt- How did the photo shoot go today?
Rainy- Last night was much better.Trying not to co-sleep anymore as DD was still waking heaps and I think its because she could smell my milk.
-
Ali - I am glad you had a better night last night, lets hope that tomight it the same.
DH has said that if I want I can start dooing lite n easy. So I think that I will start that in a month or so.
I met up with another mum with a bub the same age a our bubs. He is alread crawling! E doesn't even really roll that much, and just howls on her tummy. She either rolls onto her back or cries till I go and get her!
I played netball last night, and injured my knee. I have had 2 reconstructions over the years on this knee and it is not in a good way. I can't walk properly, and it is colapsing. I think I have done my ACL again. In saying that, we won, and I rocked in Goal Shooter!!
DH was on night shift last night, so it was just me in MEGA pain. I didn't really sleep. He in on night again tonight, so again on my own. We were meant to go to the holiday house tomorrow, but I don't think I can mange the 4 hour car ride. It is hard enough just carrying E around atm
Sorry about the me post.
-
Ali - glad you had a better night!
Meg - that's really bad about your knee :( I hope you haven't done the ACL. That would be so painful. Gee I don't think I want my baby moving around so early - Miss J likes being on her tummy and rolls from side to side but she's nowhere near crawling yet (and I like it that way ;) )
AFM - now both girls had conjunctivitis!!! Arrrgh!!! Have to try and wrestle both of them to get the drops in their eyes.
-
Nai- Eye drops and kids are horrible! Ash isn't too bad to do cause can bribe but when I had to do Emily a while back, nightmare! Good luck with it.
Meg- ouchie! You gonna go to see yr Dr and get it checked out or see how it goes? Hope you have some pain killers.
Ali- Hope the nights keep getting better, do you try resetling without feeding?
Kaz- Maybe your supply has just settled to exactly what he needs thats why you can't pump any extra? I just remember with Ash after a few months of feeding i found it really hard to express anything, alot different to the early days. Maybe a growth spurt? I hope he settles whatever it is.
Det- My sister had glandular fever at the start of the year and boy did it knock her big time. Took her ages to fully recover and just build her energy back, so I feel for your DH. Was dissapointing too cause she missed coming to Emily's birth because of it.
I stopped Emily rice cereal and just giving fruit/ veg, and she slept alot better last night and today so think it was upsetting her tummy, she was waking heaps before.
She isn't so much into fruit but enjoying veg.
So solids question for everyone, when do you give in relation to there milk feeds? I usually give 2.5hrs post bottle so she'll have an appetite but not so hungry that she'll refuse.
Oh and a second question, how long is everyones bubs doing overnight now? Emily does a 6hr stretch usually and a 5hr one. Unless she is having an unsettled night will wake more but only feeds that once.
-
Shell - with solids we have started a bit of a routine and it goes something like this (it isn't strict but sort of a guideline)
- 6.30-7am wake and BF
- 7.30 -8am Breakfast of rice cereal & fruit
- 9am ish - BF and nap time
- 11am ish - wake and BF
- 12pm - lunch of vegies & fruit
- 1pm ish - sleep
- 2-3pm - BF
- (may have a top up BF in here before dinner depending on when she woke and fed earlier)
- 5pm - vegies & fruit
- 6.30pm BF
- 6.30 - 7pm sleep
Miss J generally sleeps now from about 6.30-7pm until 6.30am without a feed or waking. I think that's why she has 2 BFs before 9am as she needs to make up for her long sleep. She still manages to pack in 5-6 BFs and 3 meals of solids during the day!!

Hello all!
Sorry I haven't posted for ages. Sleep has been shocking here :( Sounds like what's happening with you too Ali. It's been going on for almost 3 wks now though!! WTF!!!!!! She is waking every couple of hrs at night. Last night we got one 3 hr block at least. And she's really hard to get back to sleep. I have no idea what the problem is but I'm so bloody over it it's not funny!!
Anyway, tomorrow we're going to try some solids!! DH is working today so we're doing it tomorrow when he's home. gtg to ikea and get a highchair!
Hope everyone is well!! Sorry for my measly post!
-

-

ali how the sleep going??

-
Jols - yep I did try the BM. Miss J looked at me as if to say "WTF are you doing mum, that's meant to go in my mouth" :lol: Unfortunately this seems to be a nasty one and we have had to get the antibiotic drops. It has been going around childcare so we were sort of expecting it :(
-
Nai - I hope they get better soon.
Not started on solids here yet. E was 3 weeks early, so didn't want to start till 6 months as she is a coiple of weeks behid on some milestones. In saying that, she sucked on a piece of bread at dinner time last night. SHe really liked it! I am going to try more towards baby lead solids I think.
Does anyone elses' bub still HTE being on their tum? All she does is sooks and puts her head down!
-
Rainforest- I wanted to wait til 6 months too, but I don't think I can hold DD off any longer!!
Jols- ooh..thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to get that!
Nai- :( how the girls are better soon!
meg- we're doing BLS too, I will post a photo!!
I forgot to mention DD can now sit up on her own!! Will sit up and play for 5-10 mins until she gets bored or tired.
