PO5 - were do u get that cream from?

I forgot to ask in my post is it okay for bubs to sleep on their tummys now??? everytime I check on DD shes fliped on her tummy with her lil bum in the air its so cute lol but scares me and then I have to put her back on her back without waking her!!

[Party-of-five]

Jennie I just got it from the chemist...just ask someone there and I let Milly sleep on her tummy if I rolled her over she would just roll back

Yay so much chatter i can't keep up.

1. no news on allergies yet, still waiting on RCH so i am just being very careful and trying to mix it up with what we know she can eat.

Teagz - go Jackson... he's a little mover that boy and he's so damn cute, Z is standing up against things but hasn't quite figured out the moving part yet.
He is going to keep you on your toes for sure.
He will go with solids in his own time hun, i make sure there is an hr gab b/w milk feed and food, maybe try a milk arrowroot biscuit.. Z loves them, she also likes to spoon feed herself so i give her 1 mouthful she takes the spoon, i put something on it and she does it herself.

PO5 - GO MILLY... woo hoo
I know what you mean about the mummy's girl.. i don't think Z is going to be happy until she can crawl or walk.. it's either of those soon!

Jennie13 - go Freya she loves her food yeah, it's great isn't it, Z would eat a horse if i could let her.
for crawling... clever girl.

Food wise i WISH i could offer Z a lot more, she would eat what we eat if she could.
At the moment she has toast or rice cereal for breakfast (stuck cos we can't introduce NEW foods), fruit for lunch, and tea is mince, carrot, brocolli, cauliflower, peas, corn, pumpkin and sweet potato mashed not pureed.. she seems to like the chunks and has no problem with the peas and corn.

I would love to try her on strawberry's etc so i am soooo annoyed with not being at RCH already, she also eats thinks like cruskits, milk arrowroot biscuits, she sucks on raw apple and pear and knaws into it with her 2 little teeth.

There is a thread on here about 100 BLS recipes, if anyone wants the link to the site please PM me.. one of the girls sent it to me so i will pass it on.. has some great ideas in there.

We are planning Ava's 2nd birthday for next month.. just over 2wks my little girl is nearly 2.. awwwww and Z is no longer a 'baby' it's kind of sad.

Jennie, Caroline has been sleeping on her tummy for ages and my son did the same thing. it's the only way they'd stay asleep.

z, oh jacksons loves milk arrorroot bickies!! that's about the only thing you can bet he'll eat!!

jennie, jackson's been sleeping on his stomach since he was 4 months old. from birth he'd always have his naps on his belly during the day (when I could keep an eye on him) but i made him sleep on his back during the night until one night he cracked it and completely refused. I think the first week I barely slept for worrying about him. but, he won't sleep any other way. now she has control of her whole body i think it's fine! you cant keeping flipping her over for ever
re: jacksons food issues, yeah tried everything! he doesn't mind eating a bit of cucumber, but he doesn't really ingest a great deal of it, and if it's got cheese in it he'll give it a go... aah well, patience is the key. i made him some tuna mornay the other night... didn't like that either!

What about a cruskit and cream cheese? or cruskit with avocado spread on it?
The cruskit is good as it goes soft as they eat it, Z loves them.. not a lot of sugar in them either.

[helle]

i'll have to try one. i've tried avo and banana and he wasn't keen on that... i haven't given him an arrowroot just by itself tho.. i usually mush it up with some water
is it just normal crusket? or is there a baby version?

[Lenny]

Eluned - your little darling sounds just like mine. Permanently attached to mummy. Either my leg or my breast!! I'm glad I'm not the only still doing at least one if not two night feeds. No wonder he's 9kgs!

I love that DS2 waves and claps if we do, and although his big brother is terribly mean to him sometimes, they do seem to adore each other and DS2 will crawl around the house loooking for DS1.

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Eluned - yep hun i serisouly think i'm going to have a heart attack before i'm 27
Lil Amelia sounds so cute, isn't it great that they are exploring a bit more now, keep up the great work on the BFing.

Jenjams - awwww aren't the developmental milestones gorgeous.. i get so excited if Z does something new.. DP must think i'm nuts..

Lenny - DD1 has her days at the moment where she's being a bit funny with Z.. i think it's because she's on the move and is stalking her now.
They seem to really enjoy playing with the dora doll house together though and Z will follow A from room to room... but now A has figured out she can shut her own door and Z can't get in... lol

So glad to hear all the LO's are doing so well, has anyone started planning the first birthday parties?
I am thinking i might look at a dairy free cake for Z for the family dinner we normally do and getting a 'normal' cake for the day of her party and making her a little cupcake or something dairy free.

Hi girls
its been awhile sorry.
Any other bubs not on the move yet? Milly isnt crawling or standing yet not that Im too worried at least I know where she is
She loves her food!! and books at the moment so santa is bringing her a few and a new trike

Milly slept thru the last week and I was just thinking woohoo but she must have been teasing me...she is back to waking 2-3 times a night again
I havent thought of her birthday party yet got DSs birthday then christmas then my 30th then DHs birthday before I tackle hers busy busy

[Laranna]

Oh Po5, you'll be busy!!! Good thing Milly isn't moving then hey!

ZF, yep I've starting planning already. Got the guest list sorted, just have to decide on the time and make the invitations. I'm going to make the fairy toadstool cake that is on the cover of the Womens Weekly kids birthday cakes book.

Lenny, I always feel like I'm telling DS to stop hurting DD! He tries to pick her up and move her around. When they play in his room, I walk in to find he has pulled her up onto his bed!! And they are bouncing around giggling...cheeky!

[feeb]

Hi all been a while!!!

The baby girls in our group sound like they are all flying along!!!!!!!!!!!

DS2 is not doing anything LOL well tell a lie he sits unassisted and somehow wiggles in circles or across to where he wants to go LOL never actually seen him get to far when I am in room but often I come back into room and he has moved a good metre!!

I also feel I am always telling DS1 all the time to be gentle and not hurt his brother and DS2 generally is LOL at him and loving it (until he pushes him over and he hits head on floor ouch).

[Lenny]

Happy birthday to ZF's little miss for today, and to Minny's DS for yesterday.

[Laranna]

Yay, so many birthdays now Happy Birthday little ones!!

illyena, we did a bbq early dinner at home in the backyard with both sides of the family and a few mothers group friends. It was easy although it was a hot day (36 degrees!).

[Lenny]

Hi lovely mums

I can't believe that some of your darlings are talking. A just points and grunts - a lot! He runs around like a mad thing and climbs up our fort and hurls himself down the slide. He's very physically capable - but he's not that smart yet, and gets into lots of scrapes.

A got chicken pox while we were in NZ. Poor thing. He was sooo miserable for about 5 days before the spots came out and then we finally knew why. Thankfully L never got them, and neither did the other children we were holidaying with.

Po5 - ditto. I've been tired for 14 months too. I'm not happy about it either, but i'm not prepared to do CC or anything, so i'm stuck still doing night feeds. It's a PITA because this whole house gets up at 5.50am, so there is no such thing as a sleep in. I used to think that people who said their child wasn't sleeping through the night was doing something 'wrong'. How wrong was I??!! I don't tell people who ask, because I am sick of hearing how 'he doesn't need it' and 'it's just a habit' and 'you made a rod for your own back' blah, blah, blah!! I guess I was just really really lucky with my DS1.
