LOL, I know of at least 8 or 9 people that have resorted to masking tape, it sounds horrible but it saves the clothes, bed not to mention the carpet if there is something particuly nasty in their nappy. I can remember my neice painting her mummy a beautiful picture on a door with the contents of her nappy. Hence to say the masking tape came out after that incident

yep i've heard of that and also i've heard of parents putting the nappy on backwards so baby can't reach the tabs but if they're really determined then they're gonna get them even if they're at the back.

only problem with that is that if you buy nappies specially designed for boys, they usually have more padding aroudn the front to absorb where it is needed most.. turning it around means yhou don't get that, but other than that it might work for a while, that and maybe buy some small sized boys undies, or overpants and put them over the top so that he has to figure out how to get them off first.

Back to the sleeping thing.. it's pretty normal for babies this young to vary heaps. Ayja has had a few nights where she has slept from 8.30 pm till 6.30 am.. it was bliss, but each time i woke up panicking thinking something was wrong. other nights she wakes up every 2 hours. definately try and get some sleep during the day Tami, otherwise you will find you will end up going slightly batty very soon even if you don't think you are that tired.. my bet is, go for an afternoon nap if you can and you'll wake up feeling so much better.

I left Hannah without a nappy on the other day. Boy that was a mistake! Came back in and she'd done poos and was playing with them. She'd managed to eat a bit too I didn't know where to start the clean up!!!!!!

Tami... I had a similar thing with my little girl at about the same stage. She was always awake between 6pm and midnight.. would sleep for maybe an hour, but then would wake up. Usually I'd get her settled, then put her down & she'd wake within 10mins crying. The doctor put it down to reflux (she's a bit spilly too), and put us on Zantac. She's much more settled now, although 7.5 hours is the longest she's gone between feeds at 11 weeks. It doesn't really bother me as the night feeds are pretty quick.. she eats and then goes back to sleep.

I tried all manner of things to get her to settle in the evenings, and I don't know which was the one that fixed it.. could have been the Zantac, the dairy & chocolate free diet, making sure she feeds more regularly & longer during the day or just the fact that she's growing up! We still have some nights where it takes a couple of hours for her to settle properly, but nothing like it was at 6 weeks.

Argh i had a real doozy with Ayja on wednesday. After visiting daycare i went to walk over to the doctors, to find that our buggy had flat tyre, i took it over to mike's work so he could pump it up but it turned out to be a nasty puncture. so he dorps me off at the doctors, with 2 kids, Ayja in the front pack and Paris on her "leash" as he calls it. just a little pink wrist band thing really that attaches to both our wrists.. i still hold her hand. anyway, sitting in the waiting room Ayja decides to well and truely fill her nappy, and you guessed it, since she was in a front pack, there wasn't really anywhere for it to go except out the edges of her nappy. of course, i didn't know this till i took her pants off as the nurse was about to give her her Menz-b jab. her fluffies were full and a lovely yellow colour. how embarassing!!!

so she had her jab, and i then managed to get her changed, luckily it only went into her fluffies not her pants, so she just went fluffie-less for the rest of the day.

oh yeah, and never again am i taking both kids up town without a buggy! Paris was a little Angel, and Ayja went to sleep in the front Pack. but wow, it took me nearly an hour to get back over from the doctors to mikes work cos Paris walks soooo slowly. poor girl.

wow, that is so good, lucky lady! Ayja is now 3 months old, was 6 lb 2 born and even though she gained heaps to start off with, she's now only just over 10 pound.
