July 2006.....and they all roll over......

[xmasstocking]

Ladies, thought I would do the new thread as the other one is taking forever to load up.

xmasstocking - he's still only a little baby, don't think you'll be ending up on Supernany just yet . He obviously likes the security and reassurance of being around you when he's tired. I put DS down every evening after his 7pm feed and he's different everyday. Sometimes he's completely spark out when I put him down, sometimes he's dozy and sucking his thumb, sometimes (like last night) he's wide awake and starts to grumble pretty loudly and DH has to go up to cuddle him to sleep. Personally, I like putting him down early as it means DH and I have some time alone together to eat tea and chat, but if he was home later in the evenings (usually gets in around 5ish), would prob like to have DS with us more. I'm also fairly insistent that DH does the soothing at this time as DS has usually fed so much that he's almost popping so can't possibly be hungry (how ever much he roots).

Must go, DS is stuck in front of baby tv (the washing machine) for stimulation, what a bad mummy!

At least he's not in front of real TV like mine sometimes is . I swore I'd NEVER do that but I reckon that he's too young to be permanently damaged by it (I hope!!)

Xmasstocking- we always have to get ds asleep first or at least very drowsy before putting him down. He goes upstairs to sleep anywhere from 6.30 to 7.30 pm. I feed him then swaddle him and cwtch him a bit before putting him down, sometimes I have to spend 15 mins soothing him other times he cries so loud I pick him back up. Hes now in his own room. Dh complains though as he doesn?t get in from work until 6.30 and then ds is on his way to bed but its easier to have him asleep so we can do dinner and sort dd out. I guess the time will get later when im back in work as I wont be organized enough for a 7pm bedtime.

He had his 2nd jabs yesterday and surprising he has been brilliant. He didn?t even cry when they put the needle in and today he has been in the best mood ever!!

My friend came to see me this morning and held Sophie. After about an hour she decided she was hungry and tried to eat my friend's boob she doesn't do that to me.

My friend who is also the one covering my maternity leave has offered to come to the Bank with me next Thursday to take in my holiday requests and say hello-I'm bricking it already!

Sophie awake twice again last night so since she has been weaned she has woke up more

maewest-have a good night out.

twinkle-I always said not much TV and now I find I can't tear DD1 away from Beebies Mum and dad are going to borrow their Freeview box back to test their signal-might suggest they keep it. Bad, bad mummy!

My baby monitor has stopped working properly so off to dismantle it.

Byee

Hi all,

Abbey has had her 3rd set of injections today. I can't believe they give them 3 needles on the same day. She absolutely screamed the place down. She was still screaming when we came out so I thought the easiest way to settle her was to attach her to a boob and she would settle quicker.
Anyway, I was sitting in this area they have for people waiting to have injections feeding Abbey when the practise nurse came out and shouted at me for feeding her in public. She told me that I should find a quieter, more private place to do that. (They don't have anywhere private in the doctors surgery).
How bad is that.

Apart from that though, Abbey seems fine after her needles, fingers crossed.

Also had her weighed today. She is 13lb 4oz at 18 weeks.

Frosty-It's soo horrible when you are worried about work isn't it. I am so nervous everytime I think about work. Even driving past the place makes me feel ill and I'm not going back. (They were not a very nice company to work for). They don't even know I'm not returning yet and have already hired and are training my replacement.

Right, am off to start making some dinner, AGAIN.

See ya'll laterz

Shocked and Horrified for you you should complain.

Poor Abbey too xxx

OMG Jeanie - 3 needles?! Aidan's having his third set tomorrow. I know the regime's now different from the literature but I didn't know there may be 3 injections. What were they?? Believe it or not, I've had to ask on both previous occasions exactly what he was being given!

God, I'm so impatient I even interrupt people's posts! I've now read the rest of your post Jeanie. I can't believe they take that attitude to bf in a doctor's surgery - so much for encouraging people to bf. Hope Abbie's OK now.

Jeanie - jake had 3 needsles on his forst lot of jabs. its horrible.

havent been fir his 3rd lot yet as hes been a bit snuffley and not sleeping. (he used to be so good now he just doesnt!)

im going to thw whale in tonight, i've had a horrible week, the other daay i ate a packet of choc digestives in about 10 mins. blugh.

i did go to wagamama aswell which was lovely for my mums birthday.

Jeanie - am - can't believe that is the attitude at a doctors surgery - I would def complain if I were you.

Each area must be doing the jabs differently as Josh has to go 4 times - the 4th time will be just 1 needle to catch up - not sure which is best - 3 times with the last one being 3 needles or 4 times??

Am so pleased - Josh rolled over from his back to his front today for the first time - and guess what, I missed it as I was sorting out washing - however I did put him on his back and he did again - how proud am I? (sad 1st time mumitus I guess!) Rung Dh and he said 'yeah great, can I get on with some work now!' - men eh?

Just a quick post to add my voice of outrage - Jeannie that is appalling to be told off for feeding in public, in a doctor's surgery of all places

I have bf in our surgery's main waiting room before. They also have a special area set aside for babies waiting for jabs where you can bf, weigh, change etc. I wouldn't (and didn't) hesistate to bf in the main area though if the other area wasn't available. You would definitely be justified in complaining - maybe directly to a doctor or in writing - I know I'd find it impossible to complain publicly to the receptionist in that situation.

On a happier note Xmas - congrats on Josh's first roll

Hi all
Twinkle: I'm using the same school of theory re:TV at the mo evie is mesmorised by it!

Jeanie: That is shocking of all the places! I would seriously either ring PaLs (08003898391)or put it a complaint!! I thought the NHS was trying to encourage BF!?

Xmas: I was the same its a great feeling when the do "milestones" I'm a first timer to but imagine it is still exciting with others DC! and Congrats!

Well we braved the train to B'ham today as M6 is a nightmare! .......had a fab day too! Only got one pressie we went for but know know what we're going to buy and know we can get it cheaper online Oh and although was trying not to give in Evie finally had a dummy today (What a godsend) Its the first time she actually accepted it but mens shes settled herself to sleep!!!! (you listening pink!?!)

Congratualtions Josh on rolling Dh and I spent ages the other evening watching Leo going right onto his side (from his back) urging him on...and he's our third!

Ahh, has she got really tiny feet and hands then KZ?

Hi again,

Just a quick one to say that I have written my letter of complaint, but not really sure who I should address it to. What do you think? I am not sure if there is a practise manager or if they even exist. Have I just made that up?

Re rolling:- Abbey has rolled once ages ago but I think that was just fluke cos she hasn't even attempted it again. Her new party trick for the week is blowing raspberries at everyone.

Righto, am off to bed. Having an early night tonight.

Love
Jeanie

Thanks KZ

SSSSSshhhhhhh I'm back but under new name so they don't find me I was previously the star of a white colour. The guilty thread has now been removed and it was nothing to do with you lot I'll be laying low for a little while though but I've now found it's quite easy to change names if needs be.

We're all fine at jeanies experience thats awful and from a health professional!

Frosty- chin up about work I'm getting panicky about it to but the baby's will still be there when we come home and that's a lovely thing to come home to

Logan's trying to roll but his boots and bars are stopping him he's very cross. Took him to baby massage today for the first time and he loved it (so did I) Lets see whether it makes a difference to his sleep patterns or not, fingers crossed.

night all good to be back I'll try and stay out of trouble from now on

Babalon - welcome! Poor Logan - must be so frustrating knowing what you want to do but nor being able to. How much longer does he need to keep the boots etc on?

Tried putting Josh upstairs again last night and it wokred - thanks kbaby for your words of advice. I waited until he was asleep - he awoke very slightly whilst I was putting him in his grobag (I knew I shouldnt have bought one with poppers) but went back to sleep and I didn't hear a peep from him all evening! Though he did wake 4 times during the night for his dummy (Figgy - beware )

Kosh - I am no expert but I wonder if Jake is ready for weaning - I was told that one clear sign is if they suddenly start waking in the night when they had previously slept through. Does he seem hungry when he wakes?

Morning all,

Jeanie- at 3 needles and at the way you were treated re breastfeeding.

I have breastfed in our surgery before with no problems (mind you noone saw me, maybe it would have be different if they had). I am glad you are complaining they need to be told!

Babylon- Great to see you back hon, have to say I felt a bit that you felt compelled to leave. I know there can be some nasty people on mn but havent fallen victim to them...yet!

xmas- great news about Josh, well done!

Kayzed- Your Ds is about the same age as one of my dd's isn't he (3 or 4). You know I have been having some trouble with dd2. DD1 has been a little bit naughtier but generally ok.

I have found that I have had to be a bit harsher with my discipline (the effect of the naughty step is waining some what). However, I have counteracted that by so many cuddles and telling them I love them all the time and how clever they are. Constant praise, lots and lots and lots of it. Plus I get them to help out a bit with Jasmine, Fetching me nappies, getting her toys etc...
Have you tried? I know how frustrating it can be, when they seem intent on causing so much havoc and pain. Big hgs to you. I hope you get things sorted..

Well, I think that's a big enough post for this morning, dont you?

I'll catch you later, have a nice day.

KZ - meant to say in previous post (had to dash off and sort some stuff out - DH not been paid today - aah!!) that it must be really hard for you. Sounds like DS obviously has some 'issues' at the moment - prob novelty of Roshi's arrival has worn off - but I am sure it is just a phase. You sound like a fab mum so I am sure you will deal with it (and you aswell Pink).

Kayzed-

Just re-read my post and I sound really condescending, am really sorry. Just wanted to let you know that you are not on your own hon. I know you will get things sorted with ds as will I with my 2, it just takes time to find something that works.
