Hi all, :wave:
lisa i hope the no swaddling method works better for you tonight.

Casey, give the little man time with the solids. They have to get used to taste and texture before they actually start to eat so be patient. If he turns his nose up at certain foods just try him again in a few more days. Thats what i dod with Shae and now he eats anything you give him

Caz, FX for you hunny. I hope your cousin is ok and they stop the labour. 30 weeks if defo too early.

Hey lou and suz. :wave:

afm, i have a feeling chloe is going to be coming early. My bump has dropped dramatically. I have been getting all the pains i had with shae a few weeks before he arrived and just got that gut feeling. Im thinking around 36 weeks. we shall see.

Well im cooking omlette and chips for tea. First time shae has had omlette so will see how this goes. lol.

Hope everyone is well.

xx

Hi ladies.

Busy weekend. Friends came in for a few days; that was FAB...went on a mini vacay for a family reunion. OMGosh my sis in law kills me. Selfish girl went up all early to the vacation home and reserved the largest room for her and her husband. Master suite. Didn't even care that 2 siblings have THREE KIDS each and my other SIL is nursing. It was just her and her hubby.....meanwhile, Lars and I were stuck in a tiny bedroom with 3 kids and all of our crap. Could barely walk around. Friggin hootchie had me saying swear words ALL WEEKEND (in my head, of course)!

Anyway, other than that, it was great. Love to get together with all the fam and watch the cousins play!

Well, DD is off to Kindergarten tomorrow. Lots to do today to prepare! xoxox

Oh, ps, all the talk about feeding babies real food, made me dream I fed Connor some Wasabi Almonds. hahaha. I told hubs, "watch him close so he doesn't choke" lol. So silly; it was an ALMOND for heaven's sake!

Hi Laura! Wow r u ready to go early?

Hi chell- sorry bout the crap room. Sounds cozy.

Lisa good news on yr night with Daniel! Hey u should test out the frozen milk on him to see how he likes it soon. Just so u know. Jimmy likes his fat suit so in a month I will move him into soft warm foot pjs and hope that's it!

 

[babyloulou]

Yes Lisa- salted butter is not good for babies. You have to be really careful with salt- they are only allowed 1mg of salt a day- which is about the salt level in 2 slices of bread- so you have to be careful not to give them anything with added salt (which is why adult soups, cereals and sauces are so dangerous for them) x

Casey- did you get my message about eggy bread? That's always a good one if you haven't got any unsalted butter in xx

 

[babyloulou]

I love the photo Case- he looks so happy with his 'nana!!!

 

[kcw81]

Lou yes thanks I got yr message! U can guess what i think about turning on the stove top and cooking something in a pan! Haha! But we do have eggs. Do u use just the yolk? How do you make yrs? Is it good w out butter?

 

[lisaf]

wow, I had no clue about the salt issue! Good to know! Glad you girls are doing all this before me!

Chell - I would have been so irritated too! Gosh how rude!

Well, I'm trying to photograph procedures, but the marketing woman took the good camera... she's doing test shots for something she wants to photograph in a few days time. I'm left with a camera so crappy that I can't even get good closeups of these tiny parts I'm trying to document the assembly on. GRrrrrr
I told her I needed the good camera, that I would be done by 2pm since I have to leave, but oh no, she needs to spend all day doing this.
If I had known, I would have brought my own good camera in!

 

[lisaf]

oh, and Chell... WASABI Almonds? Lol.. a bit spicy for Connor, eh?

 

[kcw81]

Omg can u imagine feeding your babe wasabi??? Ouch! Lisa that is annoying about work.

I know it's so funny I didn't know that about salt either! If we all ate like babies we would be super healthy and fit!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Hi ladies, I'm on holiday in Wales with little reception. Hope you're all well and will catch up when I'm back later in the week.

Lou, I give Lili salted butter all the time... Oops! will have to get some unsalted for her I guess.

 

[babyloulou]

You get an egg Casey- beat it in a bowl (yolk and white) and then soak a slice of bread in the egg. Then fry both sides in a bit of oil in a frying pan- it's yummy! I eat it with Ben!

 

[babyloulou]

Jess- yes it's best to use unsalted as there's hidden salt in loads of things so it's easy to go over their daily limit!! A few sticks of cheese is their daily allowance too unless you get low salt cheese- so it's easy to overdo the salt x

 

[kcw81]

What do u all do with the baby if u take him out to a restaurant? Is it easiest to take him in the carseat or just carry him in?

 

[babyloulou]

I take him in the car seat Casey so that I can have free hands if needed. While we're eating I use a restaurant high chair and just give him bits of veg and stuff off my plate to keep him quiet xx

 

[kcw81]

Do you bring him in his smock? I am feeding Jimmy some toast right now and I just wiped smashed peach that i was eating on it. Easy! Haha I also don't mind eating what he sucked on but didn't manage to eat.

Since u started blw, has yr milk supply gone down?

 

[kcw81]

Did Ben gag and puke slot at first? Jimmy keeps taking too much and barfing! But it's not bothering him/ he just keeps going after that.

 

[SBB]

Casey sammuel gagged a lot for a few days, but just carried on too!

If I go to a restaurant I just carry him in, then he goes in a highchair... I'd take a smock thing and usually I take my own food depending where we go. We went to pizza express and I just asked them for some plain mozerella cheese etc. But it's kind of easier to take some little pots of stewed apple and a banana or something.

My supply hasn't gone down. casey, I have seen your pica on fb, very cute! However... You are way too thin! Quit pumping so much and put some weight on girl! Jimmys legs are bigger than your arms!

Laura I hope she stays put a while. Glad you're all moved and settled.

I use unsalted butter for S and I think that's best but it's such a small amount it won't have done any harm I'm sure if you've used salted.

Casey peanut butter is fine if it's got no salt!

Mashed avocado on toast is good and easy too.

I can't remember anything else!

We have had such a busy weekend sorting out our garage, I'm shattered!

Chell your SIL is an idiot - how selfish!!!

X x x

 

[SBB]

Oh yeh eggy bread is lush! It's also called french toast in a lot of places. If you have a sandwich maker you can make it with no oil... For the baby... I like it done in oil and with salt on!!

Is oil ok for babies? I do eggy bread and a few other things for S in olive oil

X x x

 

[kcw81]

It seems like oil would be totally fine! But not sure. Yeah I am a skinny minny right now and I eat so. Much! My supply is slowly going down- I an at 3 pumps now with about 50 oz per day. Was 63 oz! I want to be fit for Hawaii! Big tatas and small waist will be fun to wear a bikini.

Suz organizing the garage is annoying! I leave that to dh!

 

[kcw81]

Oh and my arms are always tiny - no matter what weight I am at. Is it a huge hassle to bring the LO out to eat?
