How is everyone?
Hoola Moo Boy is just over 7 kilos and still exclusivly breast fed. Apart from MKB friends (can I call you friends? I think of you as such) I am the only person I know not putting their baby on solids at 4 months. Moo is great, really resiliant. Me and my bloke have just had a stomach bug - 36 hours of being really ill and Moo was fine after 6 hours. I think the night time waking was more due to scabies itching than wet nappies but now we have coated ourselves in chemicals we are all much better. I have also got some heavier duty cloth nappies for nights that seem to help (totsbots and popolini). Moo rolled from his from to back yesterday, I had my back to him, washing potatos in the sink and looked over to see him lying on his back looking surprised - I was so proud, but he doesnt seem keen to repeat the performance. He will sit if extremely propped up, if anyone has seen Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy he looks like Hotblack Desialto at the Retaurant at The End of the Universe. Routines - ha, well we have been so ill lately that all schedules are buggered anyway but normally he goes to bed at around 7, I nurse him to sleep 'cos it's easiest. We have no routine for daytime naps. I am really enjoying breastfeeding now, he obviously loves it, gives contented little grunts when nursing and is thriving on my milk. teapot and hoola moo 5 months old today |

Well glad to hear things are goin great. I did not put izabella on cereal
until shortly after her 5 month mark, and only did it because she was wanting foods. Breastfeeding is great eh! I never thought I would make it to the 9 month mark but things are going great. I am going to sure miss it when she self weans herself!! -- Laura, TTC #2 and Mommy to Izabella **Feb 10th, 2003** And 2 felines *Ashes(3) & George (5)* http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/i/izabellawelburn/ "teapot" wrote in message om...

Pillbug will be 5 months in 3 days... He was 19 pounds
and 27 inches at his 4-month WBV. He cannot roll over yet, will sit up if propped. He really _wants_ to sit up. I have not put him on solids (fighting everyone in the previous generation over this) and don't intend to until 6 months. We've basically stopped giving him vitamin/fluoride/iron supplements because the American Assoc. of Pediatrics says babies don't need it 'til 6 months. Sleeping is still not happening. Pillbug's long sleep is now 3 hours, so I'm extremely sleep-deprived. However, he is gurgling, cooing, making high-pitched noises, blows bubbles. His eyes follow me around the room and he is happy to see me when I come home from work. We co-sleep a lot, especially as the weather gets colder. I got a wisdom tooth pulled yesterday, so I kept him in his crib so that I could get better sleep (he thrashes around a lot). He also loves when I sing to him. Breastfeeding is going very well, however, his intake is going up so much that I'm desperately "chasing" him with my pumping at work. Last Wednesday was the first day ever that I was "negative", taking out a bag from the freezer without replacing (I replace a lot to keep the stash under two months old). All in all, life is beautiful and wonderful, sleep deprivation and all! -- Anita -- -- SUCCESS FOUR FLIGHTS THURSDAY MORNING ALL AGAINST TWENTY ONE MILE WIND STARTED FROM LEVEL WITH ENGINE POWER ALONE AVERAGE SPEED THROUGH AIR THIRTY ONE MILES LONGEST 57 SECONDS INFORM PRESS HOME CHRISTMAS. |

How is everyone? I'm sleepy. Caterpillar is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Hoola Moo Boy is just over 7 kilos and still exclusivly breast fed. Apart from MKB friends (can I call you friends? I think of you as such) I am the only person I know not putting their baby on solids at 4 months. Sure we're friends. Caterpillar was 16 pounds (7.25 kg) yesterday, and we aren't on solids yet, either. I live in fear that she's going to snatch something out of our hands and cram it in her mouth any day now, though. Not so much because she wants food, but because she snatches things and crams them in her mouth. Moo rolled from his from to back yesterday, I had my back to him, washing potatos in the sink and looked over to see him lying on his back looking surprised - I was so proud, but he doesnt seem keen to repeat the performance. Caterpillar took a week or two from rolling the first time to rolling reliably, and slept poorly in the interim. She's just now figured out that she can roll multiple times to get where she wants to be, but thank goodness only does it in one direction. He will sit if extremely propped up, if anyone has seen Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy he looks like Hotblack Desialto at the Retaurant at The End of the Universe. He was the guy who was spending a year dead for tax purposes, right? teapot and hoola moo 5 months old today Happy birthday, Moo Boy! Phoebe -- yahoo address is unread - substitute mailbolt |

we hit 5 months last week, still a little bit skinny, 5.8kg, just under 13
pounds yesterday, you mkb people are also the only ones I know who I haven't started solids, I nearly caused marital strife when a friend mentioned solids to me and I explained we hadn't started and that the recommedation was to wait for 6 months, his wife was there too and his asked her if she knew this, she had to admit that she did, they also have a 5 month old, who has been on solids for a month. |

I forgot to say that Moo grabbed a cabbage leaf at the market last week and sucked the life out of it, that was fine, but he did get through half a sheet of A4 paper yesterday which is a bit more worrying, he's not hungry, just likes stuffing things in his mouth. Hope they are not destined to be smokers!

Jessi is at 5 and 3/4 months now. She did start solids at 4 months,
and we have no regrets. In fact, I am now giving her bits of finger food instead of just the totally mashed up stuff. She was 90th percentile for height and head and 75th percentile for weight at the last checkup. I think she's leaner now. She has ben so active the last several months. Right now she is on the verge of both butt-scooting and crawling. She has actually done both just a tiny bit, but hasn't got it down to a science yet. She just started pulling herself up to standing in the last few weeks (under ideal circumstances) and she just cruised for the first time today. She can only do all this on my older dd's kid furniture which is shorter than adult furniture. Jessi cannot cruise on adult furniture because it is too tall for her. She also walks if you are holding her hands. She first started that in her desire to chase the cat :-) She is early in her stranger anxiety. My first born was too. It's such a bummer. I was hoping she wouldn't get it so early as my first did. She seems to be saying "Hi Daddy" and "Hi Caitlin" to the appropriate people, but Mama is left out. Probably is just parroting what Mama says; has been quite the parrot for some time. She irritatingly gets very distracted during bf, so my 3 year old has learned that she must go away and be quiet during bf. We have to lay down on my bed in quiet to feed. We are homebodies, so that mostly works for us, but when we did go out for several long days she eventually did feed in the cradle hold again in the quiet of the car. She has just started to be able to fall asleep without my nipple in her mouth. She sometimes now unlatches and then goes to sleep rather than falling asleep while latched. Such a big girl. I don't really know how much or if at all she feeds when I am asleep. It is very automatic for us at this point, but my right breast is definitely the favored breast now because she can reach it while I'm asleep without my help. I had so much fun from 6 months to 3.5 years with my oldest dd, so it is pretty great to be here!

Kami is 20 lbs, and is now just b'fed. He has chicken pox right now, and has been crying for 2 days and nights. He is completely covered with the spots, and has spent the entire time at my breast. I am so glad to be breastfeeding him while he is ill. He can pull himself up to sit, and he can roll over & has 2 teeth so far. I am not so great, I had 9 positive HPT's, and since Saturday new tests are all negative. I haven't had any bleeding, but am still cramping. I have the docs 2morrow. -- Andrea mom of 5 - latest addition Kamron David 5 months 20lbs |
