Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

Hello Ladies

Sorry for being so quiet. Been a busy couple of days

How is everyone doing?

Joey- congrats on the toothie. Babies are so cute with those toothy smiles. Glad your appointment went so well at the paed. So sorry to hear about the break in. Glad no one was home. But I am sure you must be scared, awful that people invade our space like that. With the constipation, I give M oats which helps soften the pooh and keep him regular. And I agree with Lizel, a probiotic is great for their tummies. I use the reuterina which they say is quite good.

Deja- if you weigh 60 now and you were 52 then I would just say it's your milk factory

Gosh I also am trying to lose some weight, well ALOT LOL. Deja, I have been reading that herbal life shakes are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Hubby and I are looking for something safe to shed weight, so if I fall preg while on it then it won't affect baby negatively. And I came across the herbal life and enquired about it.

Lindy- Kylie is getting sooooo cute man. Such a pretty little girl you have there.

Skitterling- I will say it again, Liam is a gorgeous little boy. So much character. I am glad he is loving his food. I have been meaning to try avo with M, everytime I want to the avo's are off LOL.

Bule- wow those booties are gorgeous. Wish I was in ct. I have a mom & baby group here in Richards Bay, so will show them the link. I would definitely like to order though. Do you have non-slip ones yet?

AFU- Michael is growing so well. Took him to the storks nest for his weigh in. He now weighs 8.9kg. Apparently he gained a bit too much in the last month so I need to keep an eye on him LOL. And once again I have had to change his formula. I noticed since putting him on NAN 2 that his reflux has gotten worse where on the NAN 1 he improved after 12 weeks. The midwife suggested Similac Total Comfort which is a bit gentler on the tummy. So far I am seeing a big difference. Shame about 2 weeks ago he had a terrible rash on his bum which blistered. Gosh didn't know what to use. Bennets, bepanthem and sudocrem just wouldn't work. He was having a bit of a runny tummy but very acidic. Took him to the paed who said it was teething as I thought. He said to help that the pooh isn't so acidic, I can give an anti-acid. I found that the Lasinoh 3-in-1 nappy cream and the palmers bottom butter works wonders and also the probiotic nappy rash spray.
Michael is getting so cute now. I laughed, we were at my dads doctor rooms today and the receptionist told the other lady that Michael was growling at her couldn't help but giggle. M has this new habit of making noises as if he is pushing the biggest load LOL and now he makes "ai jai jai" noises in between too He is so close to crawling. Keeping the camera ready

Is there any other way of keeping your baby warm besides the sleeping sack? M constantly kicks the blankets off during the night and it's so cold lately. Woolies has such lovely bodysuits except they have hoodies and I don't think its safe to let him sleep with a hoodie.

I have ventured into my own small business from home = making homemade baby food for moms. I made a batch of baby biltong which M loves (no salt or spices). I kinda miss the hospitality industry at times, and this way I get to raise my boy and still do something for myself.

Well I hope you all have a lekker day tomorrow

Hi julle

Sjoe it has been long since I been here. Things have just been so hectic at work and at home.

Well, I haven't gone thru the posts yet but the babies must be growing and starting to eat now.
Lona is left with about 2 weeks to her 6 month milestone and food!!
Have to get groceries for her, I make the food, put in containers and freeze.

Anyway, hope you all are well and the babies are growing too.

Just wanted to let all the CT moomies know that I'll be in CT at the Decorex exhibiting and selling my crochet shoes. Please come and get your LO a cute pair of warm booties.....winter's almost here.
I'll be having a stock of mainly boots there so hope to see you.....

Hi mommies!

Joey, I give L a bit of brown sugar in water....wont make his tummy go imediately,but will soften it very nicely. Riley is really growing nicely!

Lizel, sorry to hear about C being so sick! Hope she is well again soon...good luck!

Deja good luck with the renovations, hope it goes well and fast!

Graious, wish I could shed a few kg's too....eating cupcakes is so not helping!

AFU we are doingvery well. Liam is rolling all over the place and sailing, trying hard to properly crawl and suddenly today he went from crawling to sitting position....Im loving taking him everywhere in the house and just putting him down and he entertains himsef Such an easy baby......M is also good, a little terror at times, but love herso much

Where is all the other ladies?

Liam had avo yest and today for lunch and loved it! He loves all his food actually, tomorrow we start pears

Hope you are all well, have a lovely evening

Deja, I would off kicked her ass It took like 9 months to grow so it wont be gone over night. It was easier with the first baby but I am struggling to get my tummy looking better, it is like a over cooked muffin. Ek het ook velle al waaraan ek kan dink om my maag reg te kry is om dit te laat sny Sterkte met die verf en als klink rof

Joey, Riley is growing so nicely. You can try probiotics junior sashes you can mix it with milk or with his it will regulate his tummy and ads vitamins so its safe you can buy it at Clicks.

Lindy, Carli-Ann has bronchiolitis so thats one reason why she has been waking so much the last 2 days, took her Monday to dr and we must look out so she does not get admitted cause her breathing is still a 100 but must not go under 96. It is so stressful

No way Deja!!! What a B !!!

I would have slapped her senseless!

Joey sorry no advise on the constipation but glad that he is doing well otherwise.

Thanx Deja, Also got some when was pregnant. Will Email my doc and ask thanks.

Poor you Hope they get done ASAP
