Awww bless, that is so cute when they start to speak!!

I just realised I must have unsubscribed the thread accidentally!!! I was thinking it was even more quiet than normal!!!

Just posted a new "bump pic" on my journal ( I need to write there more often), i didn't think it changed that much but when i look at the previous one, i look huge!
I have put on about 2-3 pounds so far (from my starting weight, so also gained back the 2 pounds i had lost when nauseous)

Suz, how are you doing? Sill nauseous?
Is Ben asleep???

V- my stomach has not looked that flat since I was about 17

Yes he's still asleep! Went down super easy tonight too!! No walking to sleep by Ste needed! Just fell asleep on my knee straight after he'd finished feeding. Been asleep since 7:45 so far xx

Oh Lou, I'm so happy for you! I am terrified of jinxing it somehow for you so I won't harp on about it, lol.

Marg - I asked my dentist about it and they mentioned breastmilk is bad for teeth too? That it still has sugars in it? I'm sure the delivery method from the breast is better though.
Anyway, we only brush his teeth on bath nights now, we need to switch that up. I've heard of slowly moving the routine around... so start moving the brushing to after the bottle etc... we read to Daniel lying in our bed. He's gotten bored with a few books and decided he wants to crawl but there are books he will just sit there and stare at as if he's drugged up. This one book makes him laugh ... its a flip-the-flap book and has lots of baby faces in it... it just cracks him up.

Put up some new pics of Daniel on facebook
Also, here is a pic of the wool soaker I knit Daniel ages ago.. I want to lanolize it but need to finish knitting the other one first and do them both together... then we'll see if it works, otherwise I'm just out of ideas for nighttime.

The bf / sugar issue was discussed in one of my fb groups and it doesn't cause cavities, I haven't read the link above but just posting for you anyway!

As long as you've cleaned all the food off their teeth, BM doesn't cause decay and can actually fight the bacteria that does.

Wow V you're right you're HUGE!! really not at all!

Lisa the wool soaker is cute!

Lou how did he do?! I'm scared to ask!

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

He did 7:45 to 4:30 (so nearly8 hours) and then seemed starving and so upset that I decided to feed him. He fell back to sleep just before 6 and slept til 8:30 xx

 

[Euronova]

Wow!!! That's great, you must be feeling like you are having a holiday, what are you doing with all that time to sleep!!!
Ok.... i guess I will hold off bump pictures until i am like 6 months along... i have a good appetite but i am not overly hungry, should i try to eat more??? I am getting worried the baby is not growing enough... I cannot imagine something that is more than 5 inches inside me!
I am looking so much forward to my scan now as we decided it will give us the go ahead to start shopping
My brother is a dentist, I will ask him about the breast milk... although i am not sure if he is the most educated on the issue

 

[babyloulou]

The milk thing is a very debated issue from what I've read! Dentists ans doctors blame co-sleeping. They say normal breastfeeding won't affect the teeth but letting the baby fall asleep on the boob will as milk pools in the mouth and sits on the teeth. Co-sleeping groups/experts say that's a load of rubbish xx

 

[Euronova]

Also how can the baby be the size of an orange and now an onion? must be american fruits... our onions are not that big!

 

[SBB]

Lol you should post bump pics V! I just think saying/thinking you're huge could be a slight exaggeration

Lou I can't believe it!!! he's doing so well is he better in the day because he's slept?

I'm not sure if the BM tooth thing has anything to do with bottle mouth? At some poinf babies used to be left with a bottle in their cot or a dummy that drip fed formula apparently and all their teeth rotted cos they were having it all night long! I wonder if that's why dentists sometimes say BM is a problem, because it's confused with that or just assumed to be the same... I really don't know!!

X x x

 

[Euronova]

The problem during the night compared to during the day is that you produce less saliva and you are not moving your mouth so much so basically the food/sugar stays between the teeth and the mouth wall without being washed off by the saliva (that sticking/dry mouth feeling you have in the morning) that's also why it is much much more important never to forget to brush your teeth at night

Marg I'm all confused about milk myself so I'm afraid I'm no help... I'm weaning Lili on to cows milk at the moment. She sti had 5 bottles a day though.... Think I should be cutting down now shouldn't I?

I don't know...if she's still taking them I'd say let her have them. I had been fighting Jackson to take milk before he turned a year but he wasn't interested. Now, he gets his morning and night sippy and a small one in the afternoon. He loves water though...especially from mommy's or daddy's jug. But he eats a lot too so I'm not so concerned about the milk.

I will start to experiment. OH is going out of town today until Sunday so I could maybe do bottle and a try a book on our bed for a few minutes and then brush his teeth and off to his crib in his room.

Lou, dare I say it...hooray!! Maybe it's time that Ben caught up on all the sleep he's missing out on the last year. Have you heard or read of anyone else's LO doing similar things sleep-wise?

Hi Suz, V!

I'm having a slow start this morning. I don't know if it's AF or the rain or what, but I do not feel like being bothered today. I got angry with Jax this morning because he dropped a water bottle and it spilled all over the floor. I thought in my head I wish I could just put a good whooping on him one time, but it would be pointless at this age and maybe even detrimental for him. I think I was just angry and already have a rough morning and it just got to me. I am starting to put him in the corner though. He does not like that. But he is soooo active...gets into everything except what he ought to be getting into. He can climb up on the sofa by himself and tries to climb up everywhere else. Never a dull moment!

 

[SBB]

What does put him a good whooping mean?

X x x

 

[TySonNMe]

LoL, a few not so gentle taps on the bottom.

 

[SBB]

Um - not sure what to say! I don't want to start a debate or anything about it but I totally disagree with spanking! It's illegal to hit an adult but a child is ok? I don't get that. And I think teaching through violence is strange!!

I want to learn more about gentle discipline and teaching him why he shouldn't do things rather than smacking. No one really does that here! I hope I haven't offended you. I won't say any more about it!

On yesterday's topic of teeth - do any of yours actually let you clean them?! Sammuel got quite good but now he shuts his mouth!

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

I'm afraid I'm another one who doesn't agree with spanking either. It's actually illegal to do it in public here- although I know it's more common still in the US than here xx

Suz- Ben went through a stage of clamping his mouth shut or sticking his tongue out too. We invented a "brush, brush, brush your teeth" song and dance- as long as me and Ste dance around like idiots singing then he let's us do it- then after we've finished we give him the brush and he does it again himself while we carry on the song!

 

[SBB]

Yeh Lou... I don't really understand what you mean, so could you video you and ste doing that and post it for me please

Good idea though I'll make one up!

X x x

 

[SBB]

I'm feeding Sammuel to sleep then I'm going to put him in his own room just to see what happens really!!

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

Ha ha! I'll see of I can catch Ste doing it!!

It's a very simple one- just those words over and over to the tune of row, row, row your boat x
