Wow, Leah! IT's amazing how different bubba's can be! Both your gorgeous girls are a classic example, and they're sisters!
It's funny about Z's nap pattern too, I have noticed Jacks stays awake for longer periods during the day now too - 3-4 hours. The first day he did it I spent a good 2 hours trying to get him to nap and he just wouldn't do it, so I've accepted the new routine now (don't you just love it when they change things on you) and all seems ok! It does do your head in, and especially more so if they're not sleeping much (or up super early, as jackson had been waking at 5 for a few mornings!) Hopefully Z settles down again for you, lovey! xx

Yeah my girls are at complete ends of the scale height/weight wise but i guess it's good that their different... lol

It only seems to be the morning that she will stay awake for that long happily, the rest of the day i am almost having to rock her to sleep, i NEVER had that with A, she was the kind of baby that laid in bed and self settled.
Hopefully Z gets back into the 1 feed a night routine soon, i love the fact she loves my boobs but seriously kid...

So is there anyone who's LO still wont take a dummy, Z wont touch them, not even if she's screaming like a freak, i would like her to take one atleast for teething as if she's anything like her big sister she wont take teethers etc.. A relies on her dummy while teething.

Jackson won't have a bar of one! They're flying missiles in this house hold! Spat right back out at ya...I don't even have anymore because I got sick of them laying around. BUT, he does suck his thumb ...

Hey ladies just checking in, had sebs 4month check up and hes weighing in at 6.9kgs 65cm long and 42.7cm hc. So doing really well!
Have started him on some natural meds called lacteeze for his reflux and OMG its worked wonders! He spews less and is generally more happy and sleeping so much better at night! Ahhh so happy we only usually have 1 wake up now instead of 3+!

Will get around to doing persies soon

Hope everyone is well especially with this cold weather! Well down here it is anyways

Wow! Sounds like all the bubs are growing nicely!! We have a checkup with the CHN next week. I'm so curious to find out what Amelia weighs. She is still so petite but I know she is growing. So different to her brother who took ages to put the weight on but is still on the lower half of the chart. She is growing consistently but still a wee little lass.

Minny, glad to hear the spewing is getting better! And lucky you to have 1 feed overnight!



Amelia is better at taking a dummy now but only if she wants to suck after a feed but gets frustrated on the boob because she gets milk but doesn't want it. ZF, she is also teething I think. I can see two little dots on her gums. If she is she is doing ok so far, had a bit of unsettledness the last couple of days but nothing that has me pulling my hair out (speaking of hair, mine has started to fall out!).

She is a real little chatterbox and babbles to anyone who will listen! So cute. I think she's doing another little growth spurt cause she's added in another feed of a night time. She's now waking again around 11:30 and she is feeding 2 hourly until about 5:30 and then go back to sleep until about 8am. During the day, we are getting a good couple of sleeps out of her. Usually one big long one of about 2 hours (yesterday she did 3 ) and a shorter one of about 40min to an hour. Her longest awake time is in the evening about 4ish until about 7:30.

Hi everyone,

Wow, small babies, big babies, spewy babies, sleepy babies, not sleeping babies.
I just have to say, I love the fact that this forum exists. I haven't started Mothers Group yet (damn! when will they get it going????) and I love that we all have babies at the same age, all very different. I find it really uplifting.

I've had terrible head cold this week, and of course, b/c of bf'ing, can't take ANYTHING for it. Went to see my Dr. today, b/c the cough and sore throat have escalated. All he could say really was to hang in there, panadol or panadeine was the absolute tops he could suggest. Darcey was also coughing this morning, so I asked him to have a look, which he did give her the once over. He asked what the cough sounded like, and right on cue: Hhhm Hhhm from Darcey (such a good baby). He then asked how Darcey was going teething wise, and again, right on cue, she spat dribble out. We both had a laugh at that, he had a feel of her gums, and yep, they are there, ready to go.

Oh, she's crying, I have to go, damn head cold I've given her!

Really quickly, I've posted photos that I took of her this afternoon on my husband's facebook. John Villis | Facebook

Take Care everyone,

Hi all. It sounds like all the bubs are doing really well. It is wonderful having a group like this where we can all chat, vent, etc and see what other babies the same age are up to.

eluned - I have to say it is so good to hear from someone else whose bub wakes a lot at night! Sorry, I know that you probably would rather she didn't, but it is reassuring for me to hear that mine is not the only one! We seem to have a lot of good sleepers in this thread which has not been my experience with either of my bubs and some days I seriously struggle. DS has also fed two hourly the last couple of nights and after 4-5am it is impossible to get him to go back down again. With DD still not being the best sleeper, it makes for one very tired mummy! Oh, and BTW, my hair is falling out too! Same thing happened after having DD.

We have DS's 4 month check up and needles this week. I am dreading the needles, but looking forward to seeing how much he weighs now. I think he is doing really well and he was nearly 6kg at his 2 month check up, so I am guessing he will weigh a fair bit now. We have been having a lot of trouble with uncontrollable screaming and him arching his back and screaming during feeds so I thought he may have reflux, but the meds haven't helped so I have no idea what the problem is?? Sometimes it really does my head in as he can really scream and I have a toddler to look after too so am at my wits end sometimes. He has a lovely smile and gurgles but only every so often and the rest of the time he doesn't seem very happy. Maybe he is just being a typical baby and I have forgotten what they are like, but I have a Dr appointment in a week anyway just to check all is ok.
