March 2013 babies

hey ladies! been mia with the move and everything.. glad that is all over now! C was awesome being left with nana for a whole day while I cleaned the old house, slept better for her than he does for me!
Then on move day he spent the day with his other nana, and was perfect too! So glad there was no drama :)

C has been waking often the last few nights, not sure if its because he has been going through a growth spurt or whether he has been unsettled from moving to the cot and being in a sleeping bag rather than being swaddled in the bassinet.
Last night he went from 9-4.30am! then 4.45-7. so glad his feeds are getting shorter too, like 10-15 mins.
Pm, isnt the gurgling, cooing and smiling so worth the hard work?
C is getting so animated now, he is rolling really well front to back and is working on the back to front roll now. ah! so cute.

I'm really enjoying being a mum now all the hard part is over. So stoked C is in his own room now too, cant wait to be able to renovate it and make it awesome. Must be patient, only been in the house four days!

pretty quiet on here these days, hope its just because everyone is enjoying their bubbas just as much as me!

Lol no your not nuts. Most people have those feelings. I was like that after my first baby, knew straight away I wanted another. But after having Gemma I was like no way do I want another baby. I always had 2 in my mind and I'm 100% happy with 2 now. I had a great pregnancy and dream baby with number 1. However my second I hated the pregnancy and she has had a bit of reflux so things have been harder.

All people are different though.

Yes I'm writing this at 4am lol. I have a sick baby that has bronchitis and is very unwell

Hi hope everyone is doing well :)
Haven't checked in in a long while ( nor has anyone! ) just checking everything is swell :)

Is anyone else having a problem with sleeping patterns changing? All of a sudden our 19 week old is waking every 2 hours during the night. We have just returned from the UK so wondered about jetlag but I'm not entirely convinced.
I'm getting very tired :(

Hi ladies.

Been awhile since I last posted in here! Hope you all and your babies are doing well.

Danielle is growing like a weed. She's 4 months old (or 18 weeks on Friday), has 2 teeth and is currently teething the next couple. So far she's learnt to roll from tummy to back but not back to tummy though she gets about 2/3 of the way there. She's allergic or intolerant (not sure which)to dairy products so I've had to use almond milk and goats cheese to satisfy any needs in that regards.

We've started trying her with a teaspoon of farex cereal and breastmilk every couple of days. She's doing well with it. Doesn't push it out at all but I'm only taking it slowly with her.

She loves the jolly jumper and standing up with mummy's help and playing with a set of musical keys that Blake got for his birthday last year.

Take care ladies. I'll try to check back a lot sooner than previous.

sleep training is basically having rules in place to keep the baby asleep/in a routine. For example with LJ we really put in place the up for one hour down for two- so she would stay in bed for 2 hours regardless. I fed her 3 hourly so that wasn't a problem. We used a dummy after we let her cry for 5 minutes. At the moment at night we are letting her cry for 5, going in, letting her cry for 10, going in. And every time we make it 2 minutes longer til she gets the message. last night she slept from 8-6.30 so that was amazing for us!

Hi guys! It has been a long time hasn't it.

Hi Sweets,
We did let LJ cry- it only took one night and you're actually so tired it doesn't make too much of a difference whether you're getting up to feed or just lying there listening to the crying (although it is awful) basically we did it in intervals as lilly was getting up 7+ times a night (to feed) and even the feeding wasn't putting her back to sleep.
Is our facebook group still going?? How can I find it- hope everyone is well
