January 2010 mommies

Jeez Elsa. My little prince is a fussy little shite. I can just imagine myself making all this stuff and him not eating it! All sound delicious though!

Morning Juanita!! LONG TIME NO CHAT!!

Had a awesome weekend!! Went on the Gautrain on Saturday with Wes's family!! Tyler loved it was super cute!!! HE has also learned a new thing, If I show him anything in the shops and then don't buy it he lets me have it...and cries haha. Cant even take it away without him moaning!!

I put my Baby Recipe food book to good use this weekend. I made Tyler soo much food and froze it!! He has like 30 Little Colour coded Containers I made, Gluten Free Pasta with Tomato, Corguettes and cheese. Spinach with Peas and Sweet Potato and Leeks. Sweet Potato with Apple and Chicken. Lentils with Celery and Sweet Potato. Tonight Im making Broccoli and Cauliflower with Chicken!

Morning my Moomie Peeps!

Missed you guys

Friday night went to an art auction at Jade's school and then Sat was shopping and a birthday party. Took Jade and Troy to Toys r Us and my daughter is into Dora the Explorer at the mo. She picked up a R399 Dora lego set thing and carried it around the whole shop for like 30 minutes. Had blady buy the thing. Sigh. But her little face... They don't understand what expensive is. Luckyily Troy just could sit in the pram. He got a Cars backpack for his toys when we go out.

Sunday we just chilled at home. Was awesome. And didn't even have to clean house cos my maid is coming at sat mornings now to do a quick clean for me. Time is too precious and I would rather spend that time with my children.

Morning everyone,

Angel, yes you can make the bottles like that, just make sure of the scoops and all. Isomil is 1 scoop per 60ml so i sometimes only make 120ml and 2 scoops if i know Leandi isnt going to drink a full bottle.

Had a nice relaxing weekend, Leandi and i slept most of the time coz we both have the flu! Taking her to the pead later today. Really hope it doesnt last long.

Oh yeah wanted to ask as well, those of you that give your baba's formula, how long can you keep it for? If you make up a bottle and they don't drink it all, must you throw that away or can you keep it for a little while? I have Cayleigh on 1 bottle of formula a day but she doesn't drink everything, yesterday she only had 90ml's, today 160ml's, feels like such a waste to throw it out but if that's what has to be done then I guess that's what you have to do. Could a person make it half or is that also not good for them, for example if it's 250ml's water with 10 scoops could you do 125ml's water with 5 scoops? This is all new to me.

Thanks in advance ladies

Hiya

Hope you have all had a fabulous weekend. Mine was nice and relaxed.

Shame did you ladies read/hear about Girly's little Kaylee, very sad but glad she is doing better.

Not much to report on my side, just wanted to pop in to say hi.

Cherikey, hope you are feeling better.

Anyways will catch up with you ladies later.

Hi Ladies

I've been quiet this week, my princess tori came down with a cold last week & then promptly passed it on to mommy so i've spent most of the week in bed...

I had a real good chuckle earlier reading your posts about the yukky food flavours for babies. I tried a meaty flavour for the first time yesterday with my princess. Veg & Beef... I left it in the micro a bit long as it was boiling when i took it out... oops! in my opinion is smelled DISGUSTING... Now i'm a fussy eater & i'm hoping my princess isn't the same, she didn't like it at first, but with distraction she eventually ate it all.

I weighed her yesterday as well and she's now weighing 7.1... still tiny & small if you ask me... But she's happy & healthy so i think all is ok... Very hungry lately so she must be going through a growth spurt....

Oh, i wanted to ask... have any of you experienced Baby Led Weaning???

I think my princess has weaned herself off the boobie this week... Not sure if it's cause we're both sick & she struggles to breathe or if she's decided it's time mom started wearing nice clothes & bra's again??? But she out of the blue started pushing away from me every time i tried to give her boobie during the day... so we were only feeding BM on waking... Now for that feed she only has a few sips & then stops but glugs a bottle if you offer it... So i'm thinking, 7 months of BM was good going especially since she was 5 weeks prem & we struggled in the beggining.... So maybe i should take as a sign & go by some new bra's & start dressing nicely again instead of wearing BF tops only????

Anyways, i'm feeling yukky again today & am going to spend most of my day in bed....
