ali do you have a heat pack? or peppermint tea?
Oh dear Ali - I hope that you are ok. I have a stomache "issue" that I have had since E was born. I get the syptoms that you are explaining at least 4 times a week. A heat pack is a good idea.
AJP - I love J&K+8 so much that I watched this whole season already on youtube. Now I am watching season 5 as it airs in the US as it is usually up on YouTube mby the next day. Did you see that E channel has run a special on all the goss about the alleged affair?? You know they have hit rock bottom when they make E channel. I really thimnk the show has lost it's inncosence. It is just not a good any more.
Holly - the Fess won't work on you. Your nostrils would be too big. I doesn't really work on my 2yo any more, but works well on E.
E is very unsettled tonight/this afternoon. I am not sure what is wrong, but she has been going to bed crying, and I have had to pat her to sleep. Then she is waking crying after one sleep cycle. I haven't had to assist her in settling in about a month now, so I am thinking that she is not feeling well. She has not been so cheerful this arvo either. DH is still sick as a dog. He has been in bed since 3pm, and DS is still not feeling well, and keeps telling me his mouth is sore.
Ali - injections are 2mths, 4mths and 6mths :D - hope u feel better soon xxoo.
thanks girls. So strange but now the pains are gone, i dont get it....
i did go and lie my belly on the cold tiles in the bathroom, i know it sounds strange but it worked...hmmmm. i just dont want them to come back.
feeding Ash then going to bed xo
Jols - I do the same with the pre-rinse at the moment. I find the little squirt doesn't get much of the BM poos off. It works better when they are a bit more 'solid'.
Ali - I hope you are feeling better. I have had a few tummy issues since MIss J was born and sometimes feel really unwell but it passes so I'm not sure what is going on.
We had a bit of a better sleep last night - sown at 7pm, up at 11pm, up at 2.30am and then through to 7am. DP decided to wake me by cuddling me at 6am so I wasn't overly impressed Grrrr!
Hi all,
Holly- Glad your finally getting somewhere with the paed app, it's so annoying when all you want is some advice and action plans, Good Luck with it all, hopefully it will all be sorted soon.
AJP- Forgot to Thank you for inviting me to the meet up, How rude of me!!:redface:
ShellBell- :rofl: about bouncing off the walls, i too felt a little hyper!! Even cooked dessert for dinner!! Does not happen very much in our household!!
Kaz- I know what you mean about stinky the nursery out, the other day I kept asking DH and DD if they were farting coz everytime I came into the lounge it stunk!! Finally figured out it was Lewis!! Lots of smell for such a small bum!
Tarkine- I can't believe how fast they are growing too! I'm refusing to take DS out of the bassinet part of pram, he seems to big for it but I don't my baby growing up, at this rate I'll be taking him to kinder in it:lol:
Ali- Hope the stomach bug stays away, personal question but are you using your bowels often, I too have had weird cramping/pain on my right hand side of stomach, went to my GP and he is pretty sure I get it when I'm constipated And when i took note he was right it was when I need to use my bowels, Hope that's not too much info for you!!!
Meg- Hope your household are feeling better soon, not much fun when the men in the house are not well.
Rainbow- Thanks for the welcome
Nai-I know how you feel about getting back into routine, I too don't like it when my days are thrown, always seems like it takes ages to catch up with things,
We are all well, Lewis back to waking up every 3-4 hours overnight,:pray: he starts doing some blocks again soon. I think he was just teasing me. Has anyone got any tips on how to get some good burps out of a sleepy baby, I'm sure this is the reason Lewis wakes every 3-4 hours overnight, coz he does not burp once he is asleep, I try getting up and walking, even lie him down for 5 mins then sit him back up but not many burps during the night, during the day he burps like a trooper!
Nai - Yay on a better sleep!
Meg - Hope E is more settled today.
Pinny-Mum - My aunt did this thing with Jacob where she laid him across her arm on his belly and supported his chin but he was sitting up, kind of leaning over forwards iykwim? That got some good burps up. I tried it later but it didn't feel comfy for me. We also put Jacob high up on our shoulders, so his belly is over your shoulder and that often works too.
Ali - How're you feeling today mate? I hope that it was a once off thing and hasn't returned. Feeling sick is the absolute pits!
Hi to everyone else! (Sorry girls :redface: I read the thread this afternoon but am only posting now and can't go back any further to refresh my memory!).
AFM - We're having serious issues with nappies leaking overnight here. Jacob still waking a couple of times and I change him each time he wakes/feeds but he is still wetting through. Changed his clothing yesterday in the evening, again at about 1am and again at 9am this morning. He also fed at 5am but hadn't wet through that time. He gets so upset when I have to change his clothing and sleeping bag in the middle of the night (understandably). So I'm on a quest to find the system that works. He previously could go 8 hours overnight in a pocket nappy without leaking but not anymore. Tonight we're trying the Aldi nappies because I've heard they're better than Huggies and I just need a break from constantly changing him (last 4 nights in a row so far) before coming up with a cloth solution (hopefully).
hi girls
sorry i've been a bit slack!!
ali-i've been having really bad stomach cramps since ds2 was born too. my gp actually sent me for an u/s as he thought that it was possible i had some retained product from the birth. it turned out it wasn't...so who knows? scarey stuff though. how are you feeling today?
pinneys mum-my ds1 is named lewis so i love that name! we call him lulu :)
ajp-guess what?? jimmy is asleep with a dummy for the first time ever!!! i was inspired from seeing you today!
kaz-are you using huggies? what size?
mm-i'm a bit of a j and k +8 fan too...it makes me feel better about my own chaotic life! :D
Kaz - had the same problem with Alex when he was in the newborn nappies - he'd wet everything and we had to change everything 3 or 4 times a night - ended up putting him into bigger sposies earlier and its done the trick - have you tried boosters?
I can't believe our babies are heading towards 4mths old! I'm really feeling this winter - wish I was pregnant again, only to be warm!!
Rainy - He's in Greenkids pockets with extra booster insert at night.
Tarkine - Yeah J did that too in the newborn huggies so we moved to the next size, this was before we put him in cloth full time. I'm going back to sposies for a few nights to see if it works. He was wetting through the huggies as well before we switched.
I'm also going to try the pre-folds I made with woollen covers because they might be better than the pockets?
Kaz, I use Fuzzibunz pockets with 2 inserts & a booster at night for Miss J and she is good in those for about 5-8 hours. If I am out of cloth (this cold wet weather is making it hard) I use a sposie at that night change. I just got some Aldi ones and they seem to be pretty good.
Tarkine - it's amazing how quickly the time has gone isn't it? Miss J has her 4 month check Monday week.
Miss J had about 3 x 45 min sleeps today and has been mega-cranky so it has been a rough day. DP is still at the pub grrrr!
Thanks Nai. I've only been using one insert and a booster but maybe I should try two inserts and a booster. I worry that he'll be sleeping on an incline because of the size of his butt though!! :lol: The weather is hard. I had nappies on the line in the sun for the first time in weeks today. Sorry you've had a rough day. Hopefully she'll sleep well for you tonight to make up for it.
Ok - more of a whinge coming. I just changed and fed Jacob - hopefully the last of the day - and he had wet through AGAIN!!! :wall: That's 4 times in 24 hours and he was only in the nappy for just over 2 hours. I swear he's hiding and adult sized bladder in his tiny little body. It came out the leg that time - usually it travels up his back.
So he's in a sposie now - it looks tiny and felt too flimsy compared to cloth but I've forgotten what they're like and I bet it works better.
kaz i use aldi nappies overnight, they last millie 12-14 hours she feed 1-2 times and no leaks! i use cloth during the day
tarkine i love winter !!
pinny i'll show you a burbing technique when we catch up again!!
ali hope your feeling better!!
rainy :lol: he must heve decided it wasnt so bad !!
nai hope DP gets home soon!!
ARM nothing new!! saw miss rainy today with J and L which was lovely and two other lovely BB girls, went on a trip to the country and boy was it cold :o i got there and it was 3 and left and it was 6 !! :o
kaz was he in a greenkids just then or something else?
AJP - Greenkids with just a standard insert only. He was in his basinette and then lying on a play mat and wiggling around a fair bit but still, it was only 2 hours!!
mmmmm im not sure how absorbant the greenkids inserts are as they didnt suit sophie, but to leak that mush after two hours isnt good, does he have a good seal around the legs?
Usually he does yeah and the wee leaks have always been up his back (I suspect the singlet is to blame by slipping in or next to the opening so the moisture wicks up). I should probably go post in the nappy section.......
kaz - I used greenkids with James (when he was a bit older though0 and I found them really good. Have to washed the inserts heaps and heaps to get the absorbency up? I always used a sposie overnight, nad found Huggis suited J best.
Nai - Hoping an unsettled day = a good night.
Pinny - hoping you too get a good night.
Emilia is still awake. She has done this for the past few nights. She is in her room in bed, but not asleep. Gets a little sooky sometimes, so go put the dummy back in. I don't like her staying up so late. She has been having a snooze around 6:30pm. I think I will try and cut it. Feed her a bit earlier and try and put her down for the night. What do you think?
