March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

[MrsChezek]

We switched diaper brands and she is still leaking…this whole pooping every few days thing sucks! Alas…hopefully it's just a phase. We had a really nice weekend. Once again, went to the beach and then got to go see Bon Jovi last night while my parents watched her. Such a great time!

sportys - I wonder if the flushable liners would catch the runny breastmilk poo

rose - I'm glad I'm not the only one with diaper blow outs! I was starting to worry…but it does seem we are in the minority sorry to hear Alfie caught a cold Have you tried saline drops before aspirating? I found that to be helpful and helped me to get more out with the sucker…just in the past week, Hayden has started showing a LOT of interest in what I eat…it's amazing really. She went from ignoring it completely to now trying to rip out anything I have in my hands and put it in her mouth. The other day I was drinking a starbucks latte and she kept gripping the cup with both hands and pulling it to her mouth. So I let her and within seconds she managed to get cut with the edge of the lid So I have to be more careful…I started to let her suck on fruit or veggies as I eat them but not actually giving her food to eat. Exciting!

skeet - isn't packing with little ones the worst??? Every time we go to the beach house, I feel like we're packing for a MONTH! Our car is at capacity I hope you had a safe trip and enjoy your time at the cottage!

Kte - happy birthday!!!!


OK, I'm going to go get ready for bed but before I go, here are Hayden's 5 month pictures that I took last week. I'm really pleased with these two and posted a couple more on my journal if anyone is interested.

It's my birthday today, it's not really been that enjoyable but I am trying to remain thankful for many wonderful things in my life. Shame Sophie is on a massive scream fest, prob teething, making my lone evening film un enjoyable. Still, wouldn't
T be without her!

Happy Birthday x

Much better night last night 7.30-5am I wonder if she was cold at night as she has only been in a vest and 0.5 tog gro bag. Last night back in a baby gro and she did really well.

MrsC - hayden is adorable!

jenjen - when ever I have put W to bed in a short sleeve vest hes always restless think his arms get cold. he has a long sleeve vest n a 1.5 tog growbag n his room is reading between 23-25 degrees.

ARM - not much to say really. William is doing so well hes such a happy content baby. he sleeps 10-12hrs overnight normally in bed between 6:15-6:45 n up between 5:30-6:30 he sometimes wakes at 4 for a bottle but then goes bk to sleep in my bed. Hes loving food I honestly don't know where hes putting it all!

I really want to post some pics of Carson but they all keep saying they are too big!! Anyone know how to shrink them??

 

[rose.]

Gorgeous pics Anna Skeet, I have an app on my phone called resize photo!

Well we got 5 hours in a row last night which was great Alfie also gets too cold if his arms are uncovered.

So my little man can now sit!! Woohoo he lasts usually about 5-10 seconds. Sometimes longer if he's concentrating

Well done alfie what a clever boy

 

[anna1986]

Its gone so quiet recently!!!!!

 

[rose.]

I was thinking the same earlier Anna! Everyone must be really busy keeping their LOs busy with all the new things they are learning. It's even more time consuming now they need constantly entertaining!!

 

[Kte]

Well done Alfie!

I've just had a busy few days, busy doing nothing but still! I hope everyone is well

Sophie is good, her nose cleared up but then started all over again. Her sleep is a bit all over but still, she has just hit 4months so it's to be expected! She almost rolled over on Thursday, 99.9% there! Just the matter of her arm getting stuck at the last moment! She is trying to sit more and more and has started to cry if I leave her, she just likes to sit on me. She is really grabbing and using her arms a lot lately too. I'm trying to rotate her around with toys and trying to remember to include her with games and activities now Chloe is on her first ever set of 6 week holidays. I say try to remember as obviously Sophie used to sleep a lot more in the day, now it's short sharp bursts.

Hi Ladies!! We had a blast at the cottage!! Carson settled well!! He didn't self settle as well as he does here, but he still slept pretty good. I'm pretty excited in a week we are finally getting our bath tub installed!! We only have a stand up shower right now. Unfortunetly though Carson and I are going to have to spend a lot of time at my mom's house as the washroom is right beside his room so he will never nap. Carson is really going to be out of wack. He is spending the Saturday before that week at my MIL place. I'm pretty excited to have a night away but pretty nervous too. I'm planning on starting Carson on rice cearel soon too!! He's up to a whopping 17lbs!! I've attached 3 pics of him... the first one is him watching tv with his fav elephant toy and the 2nd one is from this morning. I put him in his play pen while i went to put away laundry and came back down to this!! Pardon the scratch on his face..he got himself with a finger nail at night The final one is daddy deciding to play dressup with him at bed time.. He just had to put him in his superman sleeper!!

lovely pics skeet x

 

[MrsChezek]

Yay for pictures! Love them Carson is a cutie!

We had a great weekend at our beach house again. Hayden just loves the beach! I think she just really loves the breeze...I'll post some pics in a bit

 

[skeet9924]

Ok I need to ask this question as I sit up at 5 am feeding.. Do any of your LO sleep through the night? .. At this point I consider sleep through the night 11-12 hours.

I'm asking this because Carson used to do 9-10 hrs then he turned almost 4 months old and he wakes up consistently at between 12 and 1 and 4:30 and 5:30. I'm just wondering if its just me?? Or am I creating a habit now?? I keep reading that they are capable of sleeping longer stretches.. At first I thought growth spurt.. But it hasn't stopped

I've been sort of dormant on the forum for a while, but I still stalk!

Skeete- whoa, deja-vu! My Abby was STTN from 6wks from 9pm-5:30am (I would dream feed her before I left for work) and then she'd be back down until 9am! I considered that a biiiig success. But in the last week or so, she's started waking at almost those *exact times* between 12 and 1, and 3:30/4:30!
She just got her 4 month shots yesterday (at almost 5 months ) and the pediatrician suggested trying to incorporate a meal of solids into the evening. She's been having a little bit of baby cereal regularly in the morning about an hour after her 1st real feed and the occasional small bit of pureed baby food afterwards.
Last night was our first go, and she did really well! She got up at about 12:30 and I waited just a few, because occasionally she self settles, got up and walked her around for a few minutes and she seemed to get pretty sleepy again and she only nursed for 4 minutes and was OUT! She was nice and comfy! I did her dreamfeed before leaving for work at 5:30 and she did splendid, it was almost like how things used to be!

 

[anna1986]

skeet William normally goes to bed between 6 and 7pm depending when he had his afternoon nap n wakes at exactly 5:18am every day. sometimes he goes off again after his bottle sometimes he stays awake.

 

[rmsh1]

Emma has never slept right through the night. Her night time feed times are around 11.30pm and 3am. She will get her own room soon, wonder what that will do for her sleep patterns....

 

[rose.]

Alfie did STTN about three times but for the last month he has been waking a lot. He has moved his bedtime back to 6.30-7 now and then typically wakes at 10-11, sometimes 12.30ish, 2.30-3.30 and sometimes 5. He is then up for the day between 6-7. Slowly things seem to be improving so fingers crossed he will drop more of the night feeds soon!!

 

[JenJen80]

Martha was doing 10-6 then we put her in her own room and was fine until she started waking at 3.30am. I started to dream feed but then she woke at 12.30.3.30 and 5.30, I stopped the dream feed and started solids and she is now sleeping 7.45-5.30/6.
