Z is still rear facing and will be until atleast 8kg, i am thinking of leaving her facing backwards until 12mths just to save the cash on paying to turn the seat around, then i might just put her in a Maxi Rider.
Does anyone find it strange that the Maxi Rider says from 6mths but when i spoke to the lady at baby bunting she said NO NOT UNTIL 12mths????
Well i am off to see eclipse tonight at the drive in... if all goes to plan, DP isn't happy with me cos i yelled at him last night after a frustrating day with the girls, then when he came to bed and tried to wake me up to DTD and i said NO he got up and went and slept on the couch.. have a feeling he might be late home just to be a PITA so i miss the movie
How is everyone else, Z is getting weighed at 11:30.. will let you all know how she's going.
Eluned - how have you found her with your left overs - do you use milk etc in mash that you have and is she fine with that?
Z is having three meals a day at the moment aswell, rice cereal, fruit for lunch then veg for tea... i was thinking about doing an avocado and steamed chicken spread but thought it's a bit early... she eats like a pig though... rofl.
Hi everyone, I was wondering about when is best to turn the bubs around as well. Maddie is a big bubba but she still fits in her capsule. I dont know what we will do when she outgrows it which will not be too long, maybe another couple weeks - month max I reckon. Can you buy carseats that are both rear facing and then when they are older turn them to forward facing? I would like to keep her rear facing for awhile longer as I have heard it is much safer.
Maddie is only having 2 meals a day atm but she seems to be enjoying her food and has only cut back on her 10pm feed so thinking about fazing this feed out over the next couple of weeks and introducing breakfast. She has been sleeping through from 10.30pm to 7am for nearly two weeks now so I am just scared if I cut that last feed she might start waking early again but fingers crossed she doesnt.
I was trying to get her to have her daytime naps in her cot but we tried for a couple of weeks and there was more unsuccessful days than successful days so I have put her back in her pusher again. She goes off to sleep in there without any drama and 9 times out of 10 I will have to go and wake her after 2.5hrs. Has anyone else had any experiences like this?
Hey everyone, despite all the food she eats Z is ot as big as i thought she would be.... she is now 6.64kg and 66cm long.
Tracehb - you will find most newborn carseats are convertible to be both forward and rear facing, maybe check at the local baby shop, see what suits your car and go from there?
Wow 15 weeks is very early to turn the seat around IMO. I too will be waiting as long as possible to turn Alice around. Very much safer.
Some excellent eaters in here! We started solids a week and a half ago. We started on the rafferty's cereal for tea and only this week have we added steamed and pureed pumpkin to it. Slow and steady for us
Alice had her 6 month needles today. Only cried a little bit but I shut my eyes and couldnt watch the needles!
Yay Leah on Z's checkup. Yay Eluned.
Trace, I have been looking with envy at your US pics on facebook. I would love to go over again. One day.
Nothing else really from here. Alice has started rolling regularly from tummy to back in the last couple of days. She is waking up for a feed once a night still but I am getting enough sleep still.
Freya is 6 months today!!! :0 cannot beleive how fast this has gone! its been the most rewarding time I have ever spent!
She has her 6 month needles yesterday. It was the first time i took her, I made my mum do it last 2 times coz im such a sook i think i cried more then she did! she was easily distracted by some rattly thing!
My car seat has 3 settings, rear facing, recline upright & upright. I just wanted other peoples views, I do agree it was way to early, her DD is a big girl for 15weeks, about 7.5kg, but still.....
Freya is 8.2kg (quick weigh with clothes on at the clinic while i was waiting for her needles)...everyone elses bub on here seems to be alot smaller mabey shes to big? she doesnt seem fat tho, ive seen way fatter babies! I spose she did get a head start at 9 pounds birth weight! I have a health nurse appt on Tues, I guess she will be weighed properly then and measured
No needles yet, you have to wait exactly 8wks b/w them all and Z had her 4mth ones late so we will be going to the next local one on the 20th.. i HATE needles... poor Z.
Jenjams and Jennie13 how did the needles go???
Jen, Im glad you are enjoying the pics.....I took so many....lol. I still have the cutest ones to come, Madison at the pool in her cosie and sun hat.....just gorgeous.
Jennie, I dont think babies can be too big. Maddie is 8.8kgs but like Freya she had a head start coming out at almost 10pounds (9lbs 15oz), sounds like she is just a Big healthy bubba
