*** NOVEMBER 2011 BABIES ! *** Chrysanthe-Mums - 39 babies here already!!!

[tlh97990]

Connor had his 4 month appt and shots today. He's up to 13lb 12 oz and 25 inches.

awww!

im glad i asked that cuz i thought ella was eating alot. but she recently started spitting up alot. she spit up atleast 2 ozs today within an hour. im think she either has acid reflux or gets motion sickness. cuz all day today at home she didnt spit up but a dime size. than at 2 we went and picked up daddy and sissy and had few earns to run. well we get to our last place we needed to go and once she got out of the car and into stroller and into store she started spiyying up and didnt stop til we got home.. my poor baby. we go back to the doctors on the 20th gunna try n hold out until than but if i feel its getting too bad i will take her sooner. ellas been drink 4 ozs all day and 6 ozs at night since she was a month old and just started wanting 6 ozs in the morning at 3 months so havent changed anything but giving her the extra 2 ozs in the morning!!

you may want to try feeding her smaller amounts but more frequently. our doctor gave us a prescription for stuff for reflux and shes on formula thats specifically for reflux but she still spit up a lot until we started doing 3 oz every 2 hours..its worth a shot!

which formula are you using?

we use enfamil AR. she still spits up a little but nothing like she was before. its a little thicker too so it keeps her fuller a little bit longer.

we bought her an exersaucer this weekend and she is hilarious in it..she's been laughing like crazy all weekend everytime shes in it. definitely worth the price! i was kind of eerie about paying 100 dollars for a toy for her but this is one that comes apart and turns into an activity table so she'll be able to play with it for a couple years!

[wtt :)]

Lol Oops i got a message saying i havent posted in several weeks. Oh well i have a teething baby to take care of and a move to prepare so... Hope everyones doing ok

 

[Michieb]

Fide's he is just gorgeous!!!! I love the pics! How adorable! So sorry I haven't written ladies! I have been on but read and ran, work has been crazy, carina turned 5 last week , hubbys business had 2 shows, and i have family in town!
I think I am getting everything forgive me for what I have missed!
Cristiano drinks 4-6oz every 1.5 to 2 hours. He's 19 lbs wearing a size 3 diaper ( which is also getting too snug! He has a cute pot belly! Lol. Very good baby . He's very vocal, and is intent on walking already, when u sit him down he is just ting to get up constantly. When he's tired he rubs his eyes buries his head in my armpit and like that he is asleep! It amazes me, he is the total opposite of his sister, she never even napped!

Carina was colicky she would cry from nonstop from 3pm to midnight every day . Finally around 6 mos she got better, but still had her days.. That was why I swore I never would have any more kids, she was def a tough cookie.

If its not gas being the problem it's teething so there will always be those days. I fed her and now cristiano similac sensitive. Seems to help.

We celebrated her 5th bday all week, she loved it! We did cupcakes at school on her actual bday and a hibachi dinner, we had 15 of her school buddies over the house on Saturday ...the house still looks like a tornado hit it! We also took her to get her ears pierced (which apparently she was the only one in her class who didnt have them yet - oh the drama!!) Also working on planning cristiano's christening, will be on Easter Sunday. Which I thought was the greatest idea, but now no restaurant wants to book a private party, photographers are not working, and airfare for all my relatives is sky high! .
I have been promising pics but have not taken many/those I have haven't downloaded to computer yet but will tomorrow!

Hope everyone is well

Wish we all could meet up in person and have a baby play date!

Huggles, Logan weighs the same as Josie, but she is an inch shorter...loving all these chubby babies we got in here!!

Amanda, sounds like things are crazy busy

Josie had her 4 month appt, and weighs now 16.25 lbs and is 24.25 inches...things are going good...trying to savor these last two months with her...not ready to go back...I love being a mommy so much.

 

[Michieb]

Disney is an hour from me...it's not too farfetched that we all meet at Disney some day? Or I can do new York, I'm there at least 3x's a year. I think we have a great group of mommies
That's a busy schedule bbygurl! Good luck hope you enjoy!


Thanks dr g, he is huge! Everyoneis allWays schocked when they ask me how old he is, and I tell them he's 3.5 mos!

 

[notjustyet]

Hi everyone! Haven't posted in a while but have been reading, just seem to get to the end then Annie starts! She's doing really well, the colics completely gone now since we changed to aptamil comfort (for colic) and she started to refuse the breast shortly after that at around 3 months. I'm over the guilt now though, kind of! She has 4 x 7 oz bottles and one bottle of cooled boiled water around 2 because she stopped taking her 3pm feed so we just moved teatime to 4:30pm She started proper food this week and has had carrots and pears so far, I think she likes it! She will be 5 months next week how crazy is that!

Getting her weighed today, I haven't bothered for about 6 weeks when she was almost 13lbs so I reckon she'll be over a stone by now!

 

[Michieb]

Finally uploaded some pics! They're not that good my camera is making everything blurry and some are for the i-pad
They are all about 2-3 weeks old except for the birthday one that was this past weekend:

[Huggles]

Love the pics michieb - both your kids are so cute!

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Awesome pictures, your kiddos are both so cute!

 

[tlh97990]

i can't believe how big these babies are and im shocked that some people are already for another baby!

madelyn doesn't have her 4 month appointment until the end of the month when she'll be almost 5 months because we moved and had to get a new doctor and thankfully this doctor has evening appointments so i can still go without missing work but they book up quick!

has anyone else starting feeding their babies baby food yet? madelyn acts like shes ready but i want to wait until her appointment at the end of the month to see if the doctor agrees

 

[DrGomps]

Michieb, I would love to go to disneyworld one day...I have never been to florida. Loving the pics, you look fab and your kids are just too cute!! Cristiano does look older!! How cute that Carina lost her front tooth!!

Ali, nice to see you on here!! How exciting starting the foods! Don't feel guilty about stopping bfing...3 months is a good chunk of time!!

TLH, Josie has been having rice cereal 2x a day for about 5 days now.

 

[bbygurl719]

ella has been on baby food since she was 2 months 3 weeks and loves it. she cries for it early morning and dinner time.. ella will have her 4 month check up on march 20th a day after she turns 4 months.. i cant wait to find out how much she weighs now.. and defintly how long she is.. miss ella is already trying to walk its crazy!! u hold her hands while she stands on the floor and starts stepping lol. we have her walk to each other.. and ive always wanted my children close in age so they grow up being close. the only thing that freaks me out is that if i do conceive righht away our baby ella and othe baby will start school together.. since ellas bday falls in november. and this baby will be born in the begining of the year and the cut off is in sept sometime.. oh and im so excited abot disney i cant wait lol im in count down mode lol 21 more days!!

 

[Huggles]

tlh - i'm hoping to wait until 5 or 6 months before i start logan on food. In my opinion he's not ready yet. Also with him being 4 weeks prem i want to make sure his gut is really at least 4 months old.
But it feels like everyone around me is starting their kids on food already so i feel left out. So now i've started making baby puree to freeze so when he does start on solids (which will be when i start back at work) i'll have a nice stock of ready-made homemade baby food in the freezer

 

[pip7890]

Huggles you're not alone! I have no plans to wean yet. At the moment he's getting everything he needs from his milk. I'm not even sure when I do wean whether it will be traditional or baby led. If the latter I will definitely be waiting until he is 6 months.

Pip x

 

[Huggles]

Thanks Pip - it's really nice to know there are other people waiting to wean.

 

[Sun_Flower]

Eden's 14 weeks and she still loves her bottles so I'm just going to keep going as close to 6 months as I can, until she seems like she's ready to wean Our doctor and health visitor said that the closer to 6 months the better, but that as long as they're over 17 weeks then their stomach has matured enough to handle food rather than just milk xx

 

[Tish5478]

I'm with you Huggles and Pip. We'll definitely be waiting a while yet till we try weaning. Having said that I'll take my lead from Ioan. He is 16 weeks and weighs a massive 20lb 6.5oz though eats a lot less these days than he did in January - bizarre! Our health visitor said to try to hold on till 6 months but we'll just wait for the cues from him.

Cannot believe we're talking about weaning already!!!! Where has the time gone??? Ahhh bring back the newborn days. It really does go too quickly.

 

[qwk]

We're definitely waiting too! I am surprised so many are giving food already - not meaning to be critical at all, I just thought the 6 month was really the recommendation from all the major health agencies - and Quinton is doing so well EBFing . Im planning to do baby led weaning - my SIL and brother did that with my niece an it went beautifully .
