Jan & Feb 2010 Mommies

Rhodine (Angel): Now i remember you. we were always worried about you. You and juno were the first to pop. As for your LO being slow its normal my siba sat normally when he was nine months just to be on the safe side if you feel he is way to slow in catching up the physio reallys helps them. but seems all is well but always factor in theri EDD date.

Zodwa: I hate it when baba's tummy work is ruru teething maybe that was the culprit.

Zodwa, shame man! I want to see a picture of you rocking your braces okay!

Happy to hear everything is going so well for u Rhodine. Lil Shaunie is such a big boy!! U trully are blessed, its amazing how everything has worked out for the best.... God is good

Funny thing bout Ruru is since he got sick he quit the night bottle, dsnt even want it when I give it to him but he drinks well during the day. I give him about 6 bottles day time, only wakes up to poo night time then sleeps immediately again.
Will try & get some probiotics for him today, see if they help

Am having such horrible issues with my teeth (serves me right for avoiding dentists at every turn) Gotta get my wisdoms removed, get a root canal done (dnt want to ) Then I need braces put in!!!
I'll b metal mouth in my old age, but am planning on rocking them & smilling a lot

I am so glad you have such an amazing man in your life, Rhodine!

Shaunie will be behind in his milestones, since he was prem... Don't worry too much about it.

Jaqi also eats home cooked food, which is nice, cause I like knowing what goes in She still breastfeeds a few times a day:
Morning upon waking, midmorning, then sleeptime, again upon waking around midday, afternoon, after dinner and before bed time. She sleeps from around 20h30 and I have to WAKE her the next morning, cause my boobs hurt

lol, Yes, the father knows, however chose not to have anything to do with his son, as his "free lifestyle" was way too important to him and his 18yold girlfriend was not ready to take up a "mommy" role. I have no hassle with this at all, I have the most amazing man in my life that has been Shaunie's father since the day I had hi, (He was even in theatre with me as they did the emergency c-sec), he was also the first to see my baby, (I never got to see Shaunie until two days after he was born). We are living together and hopefully he will pop the question soon..... Really love this man so so much, and he is really good to us. He has two teenage daughters from a previous mar, but they live with their mother far far away lol. But truelly, God has blessed me with this man.

Shaunie is doing amazingly well, although he seems to me to be a bit slow on milestones, but I am told every baby is diffrent, He just doesnt sit for longer than a few minutes before tumbling over lol. But other than that, he is weighing in at 10+kg, on the 6th of Sept he will be 8 months old..... He is eating solids, veggies that i cook and puree myself and only has 2 bottles a day now, and biscuits and all.

I was also Blessed by being re-employed at my job.

good to be back with you ladies and I am so glad that you are all doing very well.

Love you all

Ahhhh Angel, now I know who you are Sorry for being clueless! So give us an updat e please...

I remember u Angel!!! Hope everything with ur boy is going great. Does the father know yet? (hope Im not being too forward, if I am b free to tell me to butt out) Otherwise hope u are doing good with ur little nunu.....
Diarrhea seems to b gone, dsnt have watery stools anymore, but still poops 5 to 6 times a day (normal baby poo) He had a horrible nappy rash, blisters, fungul infections & all. Had to let him go nappy free with him pooping 13 times during the day. I had to take him to the basin for each poo which worked out great otherwise Id have poo all over my house & his bum & it wldnt have healed.
Still not sure what caused the diarrhea. Everybody says teething, but it seems a bit severe for teething. He still eats fruits & veges only, have given him nothing else.
He lost his appetite, lost weight when he had diarrhea. He seems to have gained now, looking bigger, feeling heavier. he used to poop once every 2 days b4 the diarrhea now its still 5 times a day, this is getting me a bit worried but Paed says it will settle

Yoza Buhle is really big!!! My sister's baby was also overweight when he was a baby, he's a normal weight now, he's 6 yrs old. Nurses would tell her not to feed him too much which used to irritate her as he was only breastfed.
Just wish Ruru wld go back to normal now as Im still only feeding him pureed apples, rice cereals & banana. Paed said those foods are binding so will make stools harder.
Hope those foods are not causing his new stool pattern
