November 2010 babies!

Does the harness not come with the highchair?

Susi - cheddar cheese and yoghurt are ok for babies to have in their first year, with BLW she can have yoghurt on a spoon the only difference is she feeds herself the other option is to serve it with dippers ie: apple or pear pieces
cows milk is seen as a food rather than a drink and I'm not giving that to Catherine till she's closer to 2, Dh's family has asthma and it has been linked to having milk too early

Would you mind telling my daughter that it is easy to give it with? lol I literally have to fight with her and hold her down to get the drops in her nose! Often DP has to help hold her still!!!

Sorry . I haven't actually tried it, just what I've been told in education sessions. I also meant that it was easier than trying to pour it in or similar ways, not that I think (hope) anyone would try to do that. Does it help tho? As I have never tried just, just heard stories about how great it is from educators in the hospital.

agghh lost my post! i found it quite easy to give to silvia - i tilted her head back and the drops went in quite well and along with the pamol i gave her a few hours she is sounding much less like a pig than she was

she has slept for 6hours today which is twice what she normally sleeps - i hope she goes down as normal at 7pm tonight

 Susy the chair comes with a harness

Wellington ladies, just had a thought, while the rose gardens have a cafe its mainly outdoor seating so not sure if its the best to go considering the weather lately. We could meet at parade cafe instead at 1.30 if others are keen? that way theres outdoor seating if it turns out nice and indoor if its raining.

reflux day and night-I freaken HATE reflux-just when I think things are good......sigh!

i am happy with either - the weather looks like it might be ok but maybe its not worth taking the chance?

to reflux

well silvia went down as normal at 7pm so fx she sleeps soundly tonight! i am hoping we are both better tomorrow so we can make the meet up. i don't want to bring any germs with me to give to the other babies.

Am good with either for Welli meet-up tomorrow too. As ttj said - don't worry about germs Lucy. I am hoping Oli is already sick - well, not hoping that he is sick, but that being a bit sick explains the 4 vomits today He is over last weeks awesome day time sleeps and now doesn't want to sleep at all, any time.

First SPACE session today. I quite liked it

So far neither Catherine or I have got sick, quite like to stay that way for a wee while longer. One plus with DH going away is he won't be bringing home germs and viruses from his work.

Little Miss went to bed early tonight at 7pm I'd be surprised if I got 12 hours out of her tonight. That's ok I felt more tired having a big long sleep for the first time in over 6 months.

At least it isn't as cold as last night.

Hi all, well we are back from our South Island adventures, had a great time and Zoe coped really well with the travel and meeting lots of new people. I am completely exhausted tho and my milk supply has dropped right down which I am a bit gutted about. I seem to have enough milk when I am really careful about resting in the afternoons, eating plenty of protein and expressing as much as I can to stimulate my supply...but it was hard to keep up with all of that on our holiday!

Today was a battle to feed DD when I didn't have much to give her and she was getting more and more frustrated.

So, Wgtn ladies I am going to give tomorrow a miss sadly as I am desperate need of a quiet day at home. Sorry! I hope to catch you all next time.

Ugh here's a gross poo story...so DD has been pooing once a week lately, makes for easy nappy changes but it's a fully explosion when it arrives. But while we were driving from Greymouth to Nelson we pulled in at a scenic reserve for a breastfeed and nappy change and found that the poo explosion had arrived early on day 4 and it was extremely and to make things worse there were loads of sandflies outside and so we were confined to changing her in our little car, AND in the stinking heat all while she's wriggling around and we're trying to keep it off the upholstery ! the most stressful nappy change ever!!!!

Lucy I hope Silvia comes right soon!

Those of you using merino sleeping bags, which one did you buy? We borrowed a merinokids go go bag for our holiday, I thought it was good and I want to buy one but just wondering what others are finding good??
