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!

Gosh he's a worm!

Hi beautiful mummies! I finally have a chance to sit at my computer instead of browsing on my phone! So now I can type a decent reply!

We started solids with Amelia on the weekend. So far she's had Rafferty's Garden baby porridge with banana, roast pumpkin, pumpkin soup and a piece of pasta. Trying to lean towards the more BLS route, but going to have to do some mushy stuff as well. We need her to put on some more weight as she has not gained anything in over a month now Took her to the GP who confirmed she is in perfect health and recommended comp feeding for a few days, so we go back tomorrow. I doubt there will be a change on the scales because she refuses a bottle from me and only took a few sucks of one from DH last night. This was with EBM as well. Tonight though I managed to get her to drink 30mls of formula after her 7pm feed. Then she spat it and went back on the boob. I've been expressing and feeding so much these last few days, I'm exhausted. Had a massive 2 hour nanna nap this arvo (with Amelia lying next to me feeding! lol).

Our next MCHN check is at 8 months. CHN was checking her weight at 4 months but was happy with her progress to leave the next appt to 8 months and suggested I see GP about the no weight gains, which we've just done. Such a vast contrast to DS where I was down at the clinic every bloody week because he wasn't gaining weight from day 1.

I was supposed to get a wee sample from DD, do you know how hard it is to sit and wait with a cup for them to pee?!?! Still waiting. I'll have to tell the doc tomorrow, I wasn't able to get one.

On the wrapping, we wrap for day sleeps and sleeping bag at night. However, tonight I've wrapped her just to see if she will stay asleep longer. It's normally as I'm hopping into bed she wakes up and won't settle until I bring her in with me. The night time snuggles are just so cosy but sometimes I just want to stretch out lol

Eluned when I had to get a sample from Milly they gave me a little bag thingy to put over her whatsie to catch the pee

Milly is still wrapped and is loving her solids
I think she has two teeth waiting to pop thru
she has rolled twice
and she is growing too fast

Party-of-five, I was given the bag thingy when DS was little and I had to get a sample, so I thought it was just a boy thing! LOL...will see what the doc says tomorrow.

Yep they are growing way too fast (although mine is still little weight wise, everything else she is doing is going to quick!).
