January 2010 mommies

Companies in SA dont give a sh!t about accomodating bf mothers. It is actually Law that they give you a suitable area where you are able to express, but they will probably tell you that a storage area full of boxes and dust is suitable according to them.

What time do you leave to avoid all the traffic?? We live in Springs and i work in Germiston, and our daymother is just around the corner from my work. Leandi loves the car, as soon as the weels turn, shes asleep.

Nope not going to express...I just wont get a chance at work to do it, and there is no decent place to do it. So Im probably going to be Formula feeding during the day and Breastfeeding at night. Well as long as my Breastmilk lasts.

Nope I work all the way in Woodmead!

Elsa, are you going to express now that you have to work full day??
Do you work in Boksburg?

My Mom stays in Benoni in Western Extension. Well Tyler will be 1 when the lease ends...so thats why Wes says he needs to go to Daycare cause he wont get enough stimulation from my mom. I dont know??

lol Well All of Tylers stuff will also be Organic. Off to baby city at lunch to get him some Organic Cereal.

Where does your mom stay Elsa?? I wouldnt worry about interaction at this stage, maybe from 1 or 1and half?? They dont play anyway, just on their own.

Leandi has a "friend" at the daymother (although she is 1 of only 3 kids), he is a bit older, 3 years, but when he laughs she laughs with him. If she sees him she starts to laugh, think hes the funniest boy shes ever seen. Its so cute.

Leandi only eats what shes allowed for her age, and 90% of the time its organic (Thanx to Jems influence). I try to give her a wide variety and also different textures so that when she goes to the next stage she isnt put off with a little roughage, if you know what i mean. She loves her finger foods and ive seen a dramatic improvement in her finger capabilities since she gets more finger snacks. We have fun with food, if shes not hungry, so what she doesnt eat and if she messes, so what, dh can clean it later

Juanita, wow Leandi eats alot of stuff! I think I will start cooking stuff for him once he gets the hang of eating! He didnt do to bad last night though!

Oh and are solids suppose to go straight through them?? lol Like 30 mins later there was a massive Orange Poop

I think I might have to start taking the Gautrain to Sandton...Tyler hates the car and screams so we have ended up always just going to East Rand Mall Which is SUCKY!!

We need to decide what we are going to do with my property in Sandton! Lease ends at the end of this year, soo now do I move back and Tyler goes to daycare or do We stay in Benoni for a bit longer...Hmmmm

Im undecided cause I like that my mom looks after him but Wes thinks he needs more chance to socialize with other kiddies.
