hey everyone! kayla is doing great, still breastfeeding, which is going really well, she is over 6kgs now. she is a wonderful sleeper going from around 9pm to 8.15am some nights. she is rolling onto her tummy lots, and loves tummy time. she hardly ever cries, she is just great
it's hard to find time to come on here now, with all the groups i go to, and any spare time i have is usually taken up with cleaning the house!
Hey I haven't been around for a bit so thought I would do a quick update.
DD2 is 4 1/2 months now , she had her 4 month shots last week and Dr checked her heart and lungs and all was perfect, she has just cracked 6kg (my little boofa) well compared to her sister, she is 66 cm long and I think her HC was 42cm.
Yesterday she rolled for the first time and did it both ways it was a slow process but she got there, I couldn't help but giggle when she her her legs over and her head over and face into the mat, but couldn't get her bum and body over, but after a bit more effort over she went She ended up doing it twice and her big cute fluffy bum didn't stoper her.
She is still exclusively breastfed, I tired to offer her a bottle of EBM last week and she lost it, so if we try again i will get DH to try, because she just looked at me with her mouth open and wouldn't suck. But in reality it doesn't bother me, I will be fine if she just goes to a cup anyway, I think the last week was a wonder week/growth spurt, as she was feeding all over the place, even threw in a 1 am feed and consistenly 4:30am feeds, but after her learning to roll effort yesterday last night she slept from 8-8am, woke up very happy and today has been sleeping more as well. But I will guess I will see what happens from here.
We have also tried the bumbo, she only lasts 5-8min at a time, but enjoys it, we have a jolly jumper, but haven't bothered with it yet, I don't think she has the trunk tone for it yet, we have a jumperoo as well, but we won't bother for a few more months yet.
She only poo's once every 8 days, it makes the nappy cleaning a lot easier, her sister did the same.
MIL again mentioned solids, I didn't even bother to respond, but DH stood up and said nope , we are following the WHO guidelines and we will start once she is 6 months or there abouts, she went on about well I guess things have changed since you were kids, but it never hurt you SIL started at 3 1/2 months so she is expecting us to have done the same... ahhh nope, DD2 is even close to showing signs that she is remotely interested in solids. I am in no rush and you should have seen the look of horror when I said I was going to start by doing BLS!!!!!
Good luck with the move JJJ
WTG Amy for the rolling
marknjo, DD1 ex 33 weeker, was feeding 2 hourly until she was 6 months of age and only hit 5.5kg at 6 months of age, often the smaller bubs do need more feeing more often, I feel you pain, we went through it and DD1 never slept through until 15 months - OUCH, I hope that the feeds space out more for you soon xxoo
WTG SPF with the feeding and some great weight gain by your little miss K!
Well I am happy to say that the little man has dropped his night feed! He still has a dream feed at around 10.30 which he doesn't even stir for and usually sleeps until between 6.30 and 7.30 yay!
We had MCHC today and he is 6kg, 61 long and 42 head and has jumped from the 10th percentile line to the 25th percentile so is doing really well. He has to have his 4 month injections tomorrow
We are really starting to see a bit of his personality now, I'm loving it now just waiting for all of the fun of rolling, sitting etc to happen.
Ali ~ I completely agree with the solids being extra work, I don't know what the huge rush is TBH, but happy to follow DD2's lead and see how she goes I am looking forward to experimenting with BLS in comparrison to puree's this time Wow teeth moving as well, I don't think we have any action happening there yet, I hope her sleeping settles. DD's is a bit all over the place but we don't really had a strong routine during the day, but I am happy with her waking at just after 6am the last few days as I have been feeding her lying down in bed and she has been finishing and happy to chill out ont he bed and I get to have adecent shower before DD1 wakes up It also means I get the daycare drop off done early and back home to work earlier which I have really enjoyed
MarknJo ~ Wow isn't Master C doing fabulously, that is an impressive weight gain and brilliant to see him jump percentiles DD2 has done that as well and it is so reassurring He is a very similar size to DD2 she is just 5cm longer
Mini ~ The bumbo is great, we picked it up pretty cheap from B Bunting, SIL and I went halves, I also picked up the tray for it, will probably use it inseat of the highchair for a while. We ended up borrowing one from friends with DD1 as she had poor truck control due to hypermobility and it did help. There is pretty good resale on them as well, so one fo those things you can easily buy and sell again. Well done on losing 2 kg great start!
Retro ~ how did the MCHN appointment go? Some days DD2 doesn't get a lot of tummy/play mat time, being out and about, but it's ok, some days she gets a lot!
SPF ~ she isn't tiny at all and it is amazing me how quickly she is growing in comparrison to DD1!
AFM ~ I am hoping that DD2 is settling into a better feeding routine overnight, no so keen on getting up She is rolling each day, not much but a little, and spinning in circles on her play mat on her back. I've got 5kg to lose to be back to pre/early pregnancy weight with DD2 or 1 to be the same I was with DD1, but would like to lose the 5 Must go I am "needed" by the girls xxoo
MCHN went well... last time she was here DD weighed 7.25kg.. this time 7.23kg (thats clothed though.. maybe next ti'm i'll as if we can weigh her bare skin), nurse seen i was concerned but she said she wasnt. and that DD had been having good weight gains! Her (L) is 64cms. HC is 42.5cms. the nurese said she is in the percentiles but i cant remember what she said. must ask her to put it in the blue book..
Eboni didnt have a good night last night got back home from my sisters at 10pm (ish) my sister watched DD while i had a shower (as to be honest I'm finding having a shower very hard as DP hasnt been around much and when i say right i'm going to go have it now DD wakes up. i know excuses..) My sister gave her some dymadon and she sort of settled.. she was hysterical.. after she had the dymadon i fed her and she went to sleep.. then we laid on my parents bed and i sang to her and it helped, i put her in bed with me last night..
