Chris - Aiden & Lllewellyn Dahms born 29 November 2010 - actual due date 01 January 2011

Chan have they done a full blown allergy tests on Kade yet? Maybe it's not colic and might be something else? Was just thinking about it.....
Sorry about the meds shamepies man....my boys had morphine and ja it knocked them out within minutes that was scary....

Vix hhhhmmmm can you still give the stopayne if they have the runs but no fever to help ease the tummy a bit?

Glad you enjoyed the wedding ok so it's safe to say it's men in general no matter what your race, lol

Ster your boys are doing fine, glad my girl is sleeping longer stretches now, if she sleep better on her tummy then why change it after all we want them to sleep at night hey...

Llewellyn woke up with an eye infection got some drops for him, woke up this morning and Frances-Jane has one now too, so I gave her drops gave Llewellyn and sommer Aiden just for incase and myself and my SIL, really not in the mood for that it's really irritating will dose us all for the week.

Ok there we go minds is a total blank now so this plonker is signing of!

Hi everyone:) my pc has a virus so still typing off my phone and still losing posts:(

Working a full Monday now, and enjoying it:)

Maryke the wedding was lovely. Don't worry Muslim men are also full of kak and they are harrekat (spelling?) too:) henni seems like a real nice guy:)

MommyN I'm using cerelac cause I hate expressing! Such a chore!

Chan I'm wishing the sandman away for you. I use behoedmiddoel for Aaqils cramps as well. There is also Bonnisan.

Ster, poor Inge, I hope her ears stop giving her grief soon. So happy you the inbalance was identified early and that intervention can take place.

Binks, Vanya is going to have the boys wrapped around her finger:)

Chris people's responses always fascinate me, sad when some can't see blessings that are plain for others to see.

How are you Yvette and Lizelle?

Mandz, Dassie and Suriya is work keeping you guys busy?

We have visitors down from Mauritius so busy week.

Gotta run moomies:)

Hello Ladies

hope you are all well?

Sorry for being MIA - my pc at work is playing around and freeze every so often - got if fixed yesterday so hopefully that will be the end of it.

I have started Inge on Purity's Gluten Free Rice and Maize cereal. I read somewhere that wheat before 6 months is not good? Any way, she loves the Woollies stage 1 and 2 fresh food. The only one she doesn't like is the pear / apple. This week it is Mommy's home made veggies - maybe not as nice as Woollies but hey, if you are hungry you better eat up girlfriend.

Chan - I feel for you - I'm tired of not sleeping enough and Inge's sleep is much better since the weekend - wakes up every 3 hours now - I can only imagine how you must feel. Have you tried Lennon's Behoedmiddel? it helps for cramps / colic etc. The other one I have for Inge is Baba Suur - just to help with the acid thanks to the reflux. touch wood - I cannot remember when last she has vomitted but then I still hold her when she is drinking and she still sleeps either on her tummy or on a adult pillow.

MommyN - glad you are all well

Vixie Pixie - glad to see you popped in. Hope C is much better (and you too - saw your post on FB early this morning)

Chris - how's the A-team?

Dassie - welcome - sjoe, you LO is such a nice size

Meags - sure you are counting down the weeks now

Maryke - hope my son-in-law(s) are doing well. Yippee for the casts that are finally off!!!

LIzelle - enjoy your last couple of days at home - hope you enjoyed CT

Binks - Vanya is so cute!!!

MIksmom - how is your dad?

Suhaila & Mandz - hope you and your LO's are well

AFM - Inge is much better but still not 100% but the Pead said that the ears can take up to 1 month to clear properly. her latest is she wakes up at 04:00 and then starts chatting as if it is day light. Yesterday morning I left her for a good 30 minutes and then she became irritated with her own voice This morning the two of us had a fat conversation and she fell asleep again at 05:20 - I slept with her until just after 6 - got dress and was ready for work. I just wish I could get her back to only waking once at night. I'm going to try and stretch her bath time tonight - maybe bath her at 18:00 but she is already so tired when we get home - let see. The Pead suggested to let her sleep on her sides because of the ears but she is not use to it. I put her back on her tummy on Sunday night and she slept from 19:00 to 12:00 - it was so nice (after that she was awake very 3 hours)

O yes, and she is 5 months old today - cannot believe that she is almost half a year old - sjoe, time flies!!!!!

Chris - Inge Muller born 24/12/2010

Okay, enough of me - Ladies, have a great day and we will chat again soon.

Morning all

Chan im so sorry you having such a hard time with K i just hope it will pass soon for you, Thank you Vanya is a happy go luck baby so so quiet when she wakes up to eat she will lie and kick her cot and look at her bears for a while and if you dont come by then, then she starts to moan at you, wish i could give Kade some of her peace.

Chris she was eating a easter egg my brother, girlfriends father was giving it to her, not that i liked it coz you not suppose to, then i find out at school the teacher gave her some sucker so ya my eating plan doesnt always work like you want but what can you do, her teacher loves her to bits.

I get so worried some times people always say they going to steal my baby how im i to repond to that?? So i always tell them remember i can run faster than them

Other than that we well just started to neb the girls and hope i can beat this wet cough and chest they have before it goes onto antibiotics.

How is everyone else doing???

Ah, Chan, the tears are rolling down my cheeks reading! I was all go for the meds, but I totally understand. Really, try the rescue drops. It worked a while back for me with Nathan (but didnt work when I first tried it with Sarah). I gave him and MYSELF the drops EVERY HOUR (sometimes sooner) the first day! Strongs!!!

You know, my paed BELIEVES in iron. He says a proper iron supplement, not mixed with other vitamins, will NOT constipate. Both my kids are on Ferrimed, and neither are constipated. If I try any other, or just over the counter iron, we all get constipated! If I skip a few days of Ferrimed, Sarah actually starts getting constipated, funny how it has actually regulated her!

Thanks Vix for the help. I only have peppermint gaviscon - funny I thought the aniseed would be better? LOL. But yes peppermint is good. GOing to try it. Also meaning to ask you what magnesium supplement you give C?

THinking about the Cerelac, bec it has milk, maybe thats why Nathan has had a funny nose? Makes sense. He has been on it since last saturday. I must say he is much happier today since I havent given him cereal for 2 days, gave him butternut yesterday and even his poo's are much better!

Going to get one of the others, but can I just add water? Or must I make up some formula, or am I being really lazy not to want to express? Expressing is such a mission for me and reminds me of the early days!!! Urgh

Have a lovely day everyone!

Hi ladies!

Well we gave Kade the medicine last night. He slept from 7:30pm to 1am. Then moaned and cried with cramps until 5. Slept from 5 to 6:30am.

BUT.... It broke my heart to see him this morning. His eyes are all puffy and he's so not himself. He's crabby and moaning and no smiles at all which is so not like Kade. All he ever does during the day is smile and laugh. And then he vomited. The entire kitchen floor was covered. I can only think it's from the medicine because the pre med they give before anesthetic normally makes one nauseaus.

So I don't think we'll be giving it again. The whole way to creche this morning he just sat staring at me as if asking why am I feeling like this mommy? Argh my tears just came tumbling down.

So i'll just put up with the no sleep for now and pray that his tummy sorts itself out soon!

Vix what is the magnesius supplement for? Haven't tried that

I think i'll go get some rescue drops and see if that makes a difference.

Chris Kade normally sleeps half an hour every hour and a half to 2 hours. So there is never a long enough nap for me to take a nap. Really tiring but guess Kyra was like this too! She only slept through for the first time when she was 3!

Binks Vanya is gorgeous! Seems such a happy little girl!!!
