yay for the laugh Tas

havent thought any further than hanging the washing out...

I feel so tired, and quilty because it is nothing compared to what some of you ladies are going through!

Am trying to get Dyl to go down in his moses basket on a night and not sleep on our chests. So far its 1 to us, 1 to him!

Gilz caden didn't really have any hand eye coordination he just kept chewing on his hands and seemed hungry after a bottle so i decided to wean him early which was 10wks and by 16wks he had better control so you never know! Are they gonna assess him when he is 4months to see if he's ready?

Loopy Caleb has only just started to sleep in his basket all night so don't worry! Try putting him down when he is slightly sleepy see if that works

Xx

 

[gilz82]

Oh loopy I know that problem. Noah goes to sleep in his crib but when he wakes up with the reflux the only place he'll sleep is on my chest. It's so tiring as your are frightened to sleep in case you squish them, well I am

 

[gilz82]

Yeah Tas we'd get assessed by a paediatric dietician and they would tell us the appropriate things to start feeding him.

 

[tas1]

Bless him fingers crossed it works for him! How much does he weigh now? X

 

[gilz82]

Hes 9lb 9ozs now, and clearly turning into a little piggy he just scoffed a 180ml/6oz bottle!!

Forgot to say yay for the laugh I can't wait for Noah to start laughing. He's just started giving me cheesy grins when I pick him up over the past few days. Before that there wasn't really any pattern to him smiling.

 

[molly85]

gilz we'll be doing it together then probably as abby has just tried sma hungry baby.

topped up her night feeds with it i made a 100ml bottle as a sample at 9.30 bath for usboth at 10pm finaly started to dose by 11 and was fast asleep by 11.30. She slept til 2 had both huge boobs then 50-60ml of hungry baby backto sleep by 2.45 asleep til 7! not bad atall. now shes fast asleep again

 

[tas1]

He's doing well! And the laughs will come,I can't make him laugh anymore but he is smiling more!
Can't believe we are talking about weaning time is flying too fast

Xx

 

[gilz82]

I know I can't believe a week today Noah will be three months!! I hope the next few months go slower or I'll be back at work before I know it.

 

[molly85]

eugh scotch bonnet chillies in the house matts chopped them up now my face is tingling. Bleeding allergy i want to put abby outside but cant keep an eye on her as she could also have an allergy

 

[tas1]

Tell me about it caleb will be 12weeks next Thursday! Im lucky I'm not going back to work til caleb is at school! Gonna do my level 3 hairdressing though or try so I can get a better job when I need to!

[madcatwoman]

wow tas, did i read you weened your little man at 10 weeks?, i take it it all worked out fine?, blimey, Bailey is 8 weeks now!. But he cant hold his head up properly, well- he can on my shoulder for a long time, but it tends to fall back if i sit him upright.

Oh madly, sorry to hear you and Charlie are having such a shitty time, between you and gilz youre not doing too well, but gilz god i hope Noahs increased meds help things now

Bailey is currently in his nursery cot watching his mobile going round(i have to keep running in to wind it up) he LOVES it, he smiles and gurgles at it for ages!

Does anyone else have Baby grow bags(sleeping bags) we were recommended them but havent used them yet (i kinda like tucking him in with his blankets!!) but ill start using them soon.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

A good night! Alex slept from like 1:30am-5am and then would settle each time I put him back down! I hope the growth spurt is over. I wonder though if the sleeping had something to do with the bedtime bath? Every time we've used it, he has slept very well.

 

[molly85]

we do, i would have used them by now as abby likesher space but size has been an issue lol.

good work on trialing himin his cot. Abby my be going over soon as when matts home he gets woken by her grunting andfarting and man does she fart

 

[molly85]

oh yes ozzie a bath of any description is good. Abby comes in with me and we must have half an hour of splashing and fun it really wears her out then the screamafter helps to (she hates getting out). tesco do a lovely bedtime moisturiser i'd cover myself in. with baby shampoo she smells lovely

 

[gilz82]

Madcat we have and use sleeping bags. Noah is hellish for trying to keep covers on when he's thrashing about with the reflux so sleeping bags are ideal for him. I don't use them everynight but I use them more often than I don't.

Just back from the hv and Noah does have thrush. We got a prescription for cream and she says it's very mild so ive caught it nice and early. Apparently it can be a side effect of the jags so given he had his first ones last thursday that seems sensible to me.

 

[molly85]

oh nice some thing else to look forward to

 

[PeanutBean]

Sorry gilz I missed it, is it oral thrush or on his bits?

Madcat we use a sleeping bag.

Well I've done almost all my jobs. Walked the dog, cleaned the bathroom, done the washing and tidied the kitchen. Indigo had a bath and massage too. Just a bit of hoovering to do and the washing to hang somewhere. Should be having a friend round later. She's a teacher so on strike today.

We got a first chuckle today too.

 

[gilz82]

Peanut it's on his bits, just a teeny bit between the bottom of his winkle and the top of the balls. Typical sweaty/warm area for thrush really.

 

[PeanutBean]

Byron's had it. In his willy (lots of fun getting cream there ) and he has had a recurrent thrush rash along the waistband of his nappy. Had to use a steroidal cream to get on top it but it sometimes comes back again a little. I hadn't heard it can be associated with jabs.
