Zarava, Jacks been sleeping well... albeit he gets up early ^^; He's still sleeping on his belly. Some nights when I've checked on him he's even rolled over onto his side (which impresses mum who is from the old school sleep them on their side SIDS rule XD) I've started to relax a bit about it tho. I also did some research about mattress wraps that apparently help reduce SIDS which can be caused by fumes in the mattress (dunno how true it is but can't hurt!) so he has a nice fume free mattress now XDD Apparently they're all the rage in NZ.
As for solids, J is exactly the same when I eat... DH really wants to start him on some, but I'm not ready yet :P The kid has all his life to eat real food, so he can just wait another three or so weeks, dammit!
Well I must dash, Jackson is on my lap and he's trying to type thru how horrible a mother I am for not letting daddy give him a piece of carrot last night
Just a quick question is anyone else having a 6mth check-up for bubs?
We moved and as Z grows so quickly and has been unsettled i thought i would call and ask for a 6mth appt and to go meet the new MCHN, the lady said they normally do 4 & 8mths but she will say because we moved i have requested a 6mth appt.
I checked A's book and she had a 6mth.. hmm interesting.
Z has been a right PITA i have no idea whats going on with my poor girl, am trying some infacol and colic relief, she's not at all herself.. she's farting HEAPS but hasn't done a #2 in about 3 days... maybe it's another growth spurt, god i hope not she's already WAY ahead of what ava was at that age.
She is LOVING rice cereal, opens her mouth for every spoon... little pig.
yep, my chn booked me in at our 4 month check up.
I don't know if that's because we're meant to tho, or because Jackson had only put on the 'minimal' amount of weight on in 5 weeks (480grams) and she wants to keep an eye on us. oO;
Sounds like everyones bubbas are coming along nicely!
I was asked at DS 4month check up if i wanted a 6month one otherwise they dont do another one until he was 8 months old. So i decided to make a 6month appointment as well i like to know how long his grown and how much weight hes put on.
With the poos Zavara has she just been having farax? I noticed when seb started on it, it seemed to consipate him a little so i add in pears to counter act it Also i guess during winter we dont drink as much fluids espically water which makes them poop less as well.....well so i have found anyways.
AFM - seb got 2 teeth when he was 4 months old and it looks like theres another 2 just about to pop through We started him off on solids properly about 2 weeks ago and so far he just has tea and loves it, im spoon feeding and trying some BLS and he seems to like to be able to feed himself better
He rolls around everywhere and can get to where he wants to by doing this Also has the whole bum up face plant kinda crawl going on!
Also hes reflux is pretty much non existant now and very rarely needs any of the tablets we got for him!

: spelling
Zarava- With Amber, the MCHN at her 4 month checkup gave us the option of a 6 month check. However this time around at our 4 month check she didnt even mention the possibility of it. Maybe Z is all shirty at the moment because she is having that 6 month brain explosion a little early. I remember that was a time for a huge developmental leap. Just a thought.
Seb sounds like he is going great guns Minny!
We have not started solids yet. Alice is just not ready for it. Amber started at 5 months but I cannot see us starting here for another couple of weeks at least. Ah well, I am in no hurry!
Have people stopped wrapping yet? We use a woombie for Alice's sleeps and I am not sure how I am going to wean her from her straight jacket when the time comes. My girls are so different. Amber at this age was already into a sleeping bag!
Still no rolling here but again I am in no hurry for her to be moving!
We havent stopped wrapping yet either i would love to though i have the sleeping bags ready to go, but DS has some exzema on his forehead and if hes not wrapped he scratches the crapola outta it! Frustrating!
jen - good to hear from you. We stopped wrapping Josh at around three months as he didn't stay wrapped no matter how tight I wrapped him anyway! He has been in a sleeping bag for a while now and seems fine. Maybe just try her without the wombie and see how she goes? Is she a good sleeper? Josh is also not rolling yet, although I think he has the strength to do it, just not the interest!! He is very happy these days and laughs all the time and has also started squealing... I am not too fond of that one! We haven't started solids yet either, he is starting to have a little interest in food, but not much yet.
We were also offered a six month check if we felt like it, but I am just going to wait til the 8 month one. Wish I had booked a six month one though as I really want to know what he weighs now!
We don't wrap here either anymore... but my little turd likes to be put to sleep on his belly then rolls himself onto his side and spends the rest of the night that way. Humph. It's quite cute, he puts on arm under his head... it's quite a grown uplooking sleeping possie for someone so little, it makes me wonder if he ever gets dead arms sometimes!
