Hi Girls - I haven't been getting notifications again so now I'm so behind! Grr

Hi Kymmy - I'm sorry you've been so sick, gosh how horrible for you! 51kgs OMG! How tall are you? 55 kgs is still tiny, gosh when you're not sick I'm 10 kgs heavier than you. Depressing. Hope you feel better soon lovely. Glad to hear your dad is on the mend though. Not sure what antibiotics they had me on as they were intravenous. I did come home with a myriad of tablets though so will check those later and let you know if there's anything in there. Hope he's out of hossy soon, which one is he in anyway?

I can't remember what everyone has posted over the weekend and I'm ready for bed so apologise for no persies. If anyone is trying to get bubs into a routine I highly recommend "Babywise" - it's about parent led feeding etc., it's best done from the start but it's never too late to introduce it. It's not for everyone and it's the opposite to demand feeding but I honestly can thank it for Amelia being in such a routine, she's sleeping 8-10 hours a night, mostly without waking, she only wakes occasionally and it's never for a feed anymore, sometimes she just needs to be moved in her cot as she moves around and gets stuck up against the sides (lol). Also, aside from the odd growth spurt day/week where things go awry (sp?) she is so predictable with her feed/play/sleep routine. It really makes life a lot easier I can tell you. Anyone who says you can't get your baby into a routine hasn't tried this, but again, even if you try it it may not work, I put in the hard yards at the start with waking every 3 hours for feeds etc but it's really paid off. Our sleep is so important and so is theirs. Anyway, that's my two bob on that one lol. My friend is demand feeding her 5.5 month old and he's still waking 3/4 times a night, I personally couldn't function like that but I know it's just the way it is for some. I think it's important to do what fits in with your family and as long as the bubby is healthy that's the main thing. Hope I made sense there, not trying to offend anyone demand feeding as I I'm not against it and I know it works for some, I just like to be organised and have some structure so thought I'd give this a go. I was a bit sceptical at first but it seems to have worked so far. Who knows what could happen though, no baby is perfect and teething could blow it all out the window! lol.....oh and don't forget I'm mostly formula feeding so is a little different again. I envy those with abundant milk I really do - expressed 20 mls today, woop the chook! Got lectured by the nurse at the chemist when I was asking about the child health nurse, suppose I'll cop the same from her when I take Amelia in for a weigh in. I'm sick of being made to feel guilty, I'm doing the best I can with what I have - there's far too much negative crap out there about formula and I'm sick of it, some of us just can't produce the milk so why should we be made to feel like we're malnourishing our children!!! Oh and I weighed Amelia on the Wii Fit Plus (which I just bought yesterday) and she's 6.2kgs hee hee.

Anyway, gotta go, mega tired. Speak tomoz peeps!
