Newborn and baby advice

Thanks Mommy21 , I've tried it but the part bending and keeping Liebe my back is difficult.Gonna go get safety pins to make it more stable.

Ooeff , I've got to go get myself ready but I am so lazy today this couch is just too comfy.Gonna wear my COOL soccer top!

Chat later!

Ok i'll try explain as best as i can. Since liebe is still little you'll have to put her straight on your back nd not open her legs. You'll need a large towel nd a big receiving blanket nd if you have 1 or 2 of those large safety pins. Put the towel around your bum nd place the ends of the towel between your legs now Bend your back nd put liebe stomach down your back, balance her on your back while you move the towel up from your bum nd over liebe until it gets to her neck. Now you can stand straight as you holding her using the towel, now take the ends of the towel nd tuck the 1st side in the opposite direction under your arm pits nd take the 2nd side nd put it over the 1st side make sure its not too tight but not too soft. It has to be firm. Now use the safety pin to secure the 2 sides together. Repeat the above for the bottom of the towel. Now when you've secured her on your back fold the receiver in a triangle shape nd put it over the towel, you can cover liebe's head if she's sleeping! What type of an area do you live in? If you really struggle you can ask 1 of the helpers around to show you i'm sure they wouldn't mind! Hope i explained properley. L's mom maybe u can explain an easier way

enjoy the cake:-)

Mommy21 and L's mom ,I want to try the baby on my back.But have absolutely no idea how to tie the blanket or I see some people use a towel.Can you explain to me please.It will make my life much easier specially when I want to do make up or prepare the supper.

L's mom I'm sending Liebe to a creche , I wanted to get a full time nanny but decided against if.She will go on the 17th on June , I'm gonna cry my eyes out but I know she will be ok.

Thanks for the birthday wish Mommy21.Liebe's nose is better , doctor gave her Mistrabron and Sterimar.I've also started to put one capsule of Karvol in the humidifier.

Forgot to tell you all , I ordered a snuggle sack from BabyBear here on the site and I am so freaking in love with it.Know when Liebe is in the house I don't use the blanket anymore , I just put her in the snuggle sack and wolla!!! I initially got it so that I can put her in it when she goes to creche because it gets very cold in Heidleberg in the mornings , average about -2 so I don't want her to be cold when I take her out of the car.

Well I hope you all have a great day , my wonderful SIL is taking me for some nice tea and cake this afternoon!Looking forward to the cake.hehe

Good morning ladies!

So we had a peaceful night seems like lili really is in a routine!

Happy birthday nicky hope you have a wonderful day!sorry about liebe's snotty nose hope it gets better soon.

@ pinky saw your post about the cherished belly belt from what i've heard it works but didn't get it as its a bit expensive! Game has a belt similiar to it nd last time i checked it was going 4 less then R200. Its as thick as the cherished belt nd covers your whole tummy! Glad the chiro picked up on karla's injury so she can be treated!

@ l's mom i'm also from umtata grew up there then moved to queenstown when i was in high school! My mom also puts lili on her back when she's sleeping during the weekend but then i never leave the room or i take the carry cot with me around the house! Nd well she hasn't tried putting lili on her back but i know its just a matter of time before she does!

Saw the baba indaba ad on tv saying the venue had changed from pta to midrand maybe lili nd i might go depending on how i feel.

Hope des nd connor r doing ok by themselves!

Wonder if zulu was able to get a 2nd hand laptop.

Anyway hope i haven't forgotten any1. Chat later

p.s i've been having trouble adding the video of lili's spasms to the forum as its on my phone nd not laptop! I'll post it on the web nd send you ladies the link so maybe u can see if any of your baba's have similiar movements!

Hi ladies. So, been awake since 4am cos Elam woke up early this morn. I think it's cos she was asleep for most of the day and evening yesterday which is unusual for her!!!The nannies at home gave her a "piggy back"(like us "darkies" love to do! ) (which I haven't allowed up till now) and she slept "LIKE A BABY"!!!HHHEEHEE I've bn stayng with my mom in East London but now we are in Umtata at my childhood home and there are like 4 nannies who work here cos it has been converted to a B&B. They loooove the baby and want to take her from me all the time! To be honest, it's been HEAVEN! Last night they took her and brought her back only when she was asleep!

In Jhb, we have a nanny who looks after her but after seeing how these nannies here are with her and how much they love her and how they chat to her and fuss over her, I think the Jhb nanny is not anywhere near as nice/ warm to my baby. She doesn't really chat to her and she never even offers to take the baby if I am around. How is she going to treat my child when I go back to work?! I'm very worried about that...I wish I could find someone nicer/warmer.What is everyone else doing? Creche or nanny? Anyone know of a nanny looking for a full-time live-in position?

Anyway, that's my main concern right now. Otherwise all is well. E has a rash AGAIN!!! Anyone else had to deal with these terrible rashes?

Later then. Have a lovely day

Looks like i've just written a book.haha

Hello

Glad to see everyone is doing well.Scribbling i'm also thinking of getting the cd but i'm scared as we are out a lot that Liebe will not fall a sleep at another place if she doesn't hear the music.

Took Liebe to the doctor because her snotty nose just got worse , but doctor says it's just a very very light flu , hoping the get her her better as she is going to creche very very soon and I don't want to take her if she is sick but have no choice so i'm trying to eliminate the problem.

I'm also expecting she had her 10 week growth spurt as she was drinking every 2h today.She's sleeping now , hope it last last till morning as she slept through last night and only woke 07:15 , felt like I was on vacation.

Pinky , shame poor Karla , glad the chiropractor spotted that she got hurt and that she can now only get better now.I've hear about rescue remedy but have no idea what it does , didn't know it can calm a baby.You see this site is so freaking interesting!!!


Thanks BOJ for the Woolite info , I'm using sunlight but maybe I must give woolite a try as the sunlight doesn't smell like anything to me.

Jac , if it wasn't for your post I wouldn't even know anout the baba indaba , we went last year when I was still only a few weeks preggies.Weird to think that know I have my baby.It's my B-day weekend so won't be able to go , got too much things going on.Did enjoy it last year , very much the same as Baby Expo.

Des , how are you coping on you own? Hope all is well with you and little Connor.

Mommy21 , glad Lili is doing well and that she is in a routine , makes life so much easier.What beautiful name.

Welcome back L's Mom.Glad you and baba are well.

Hope you all have a good night!!!
