Baby Whsperer experiences

michag — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:02:08 GMT

Sorry to repost, but since my post disappeared before I was able to read all the replies, I wanted to repost and inquire about everyone's experiences with the baby whisperer techniques...did it work for you? what sort of routine have you used?? TIA again!!

March 2WW

maplefudge — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 19:36:48 GMT

Hi ladies,

I know I'm a few hours early, but I'm really excited for the new month, and thought I'd start this thread. Plus, although I don't know Zim, I love reading her posts, and it sounds as though she's itching to join ;)

AFM, last month wasn't our month, even though I didn't really think it would be. My cycle was a bit off, and with strange schedules, we didn't plan BDing well. This month, we are very, very motivated, so here's hoping.

Sign up for this month:

maplefudge--AF expected March 18-20 (while on vacation)

Baby dust to all of us!!!

How long did you stay on Mat Leave?

nsanterre — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:26:42 GMT

I'm looking for a support system :) I know that I will very likely have to go back to work after 3-4 months. I'm the major bread winner so I don't think we could afford for me to be off longer.

PP bleeding

MrsBrown!! — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:53:46 GMT

Did anyone not bleed for many weeks? It was like a murder scene for the first two days then after that began to taper off. It has been very light since day 4 and today at day 8 it is very light and brownish just like the end of a period. It is possible I am nearly done?

SHOW ME THE BELLY!!! (7..I think lol)

Belram — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 12:47:58 GMT

The other one was getting pretty huge, so I thought we could start a brand new belly thread!

Here is my 15 weeks belly!

I was motivated after a friend told me that she could notice a little bump!

Claire at 7+ months :)

aaronleebr — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:15:38 GMT

At 6 months she was weighing in at 16lbs 14ounces and was 25" long.

She's starting to crawl a bit and pivot...she has her two bottom teeth...eating solids is going pretty good for the most part...She LOVES screaming her face off all day (poor kitties) and jumping in her jolly jumper... Everyone says we have an easy baby so it's no wonder we're going to start TTC again in the summer :w00t:

I meant to do some update pics at 6 months, but then I forgot....

little loopy pigtails :)

Mommy having fun :) DH always laughs when he sees what I've been up to with her...oneday I was a little sleep deprived and we even had some fun with empty toilet paper rolls...

outside :)

Baby's first braid...or rats tail :) he he he
It has since been snipped off...I cut off a little 2.5" ponytail :)

She looks like one of those dogs with one floppy ear.... he he he

mmmm pickles!

I have to add that MIL thinks she has gained too much weight compared to her birth weight and thinks that she's going to get too fat to crawl.....seriously...does she looks like she's getting too fat?....I don't think so....

Hayley is 6 months Old Today

Jacylyn — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:13:55 GMT

My little Hayley is 6 months old today, so I thought that I would share some pics!

She loves remotes and cell phones!

She has never ever sucked her thumb before, and I went in to check on her during her nap yesterday and this is what she was doing! lol

My Birth Story

blueeyed — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:43:58 GMT

We were booked for a csection Thurs Feb 18th. We got to the hospital at 830am, booked into the OR for 10am. We got ready and they did an ultrasound to confirm that baby was still footling breach (she was). So then we waited, we were told it could be later as they were a little behind.

I was very relaxed, DH on the other hand was a ball of nerves. The nurse gave him gravol to calm his stomach. We walked the halls trying to pass time. Just as they were talking about us going they had to go to 2 women in labour so we waited some more.

At 1130am we started heading to the ER. The only thing I was nervous about was the spinal, and it didn't hurt at all! But I couldn't believe how instant it was! The section started and our daughter was born at 12:01pm.

Holding her in recovery was the most amazing moment of my entire life. She's 20 inches long and weighed 7'7. When she was weighed Friday night she was down to 6'10. Breastfeeding was going okay but she wasn't getting what she needed. So we made the choice to give her formula via a syringe. After a couple formula feedings she was doing great but becoming more and more fussy if I tried to breastfeed. Therefore we have decided to formula feed her. We spent 4 days in the hospital and are now home happy and healthy.

She is a great baby. Sleeps very well and feeds great. I love being her mommy. (Sorry I'm not going to be posting any pics)

Baby has arrived

MrsBrown!! — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:50:44 GMT

Well ladies, he has arrived!! Liam John Masson Brown arrived on his due date March 4th 2010 at 9 55 PM. He weighed 7 lbs 1 oz and was 18 inches long. We came home on saturday and we are getting into a routine. It is just the most amazing thing. Birth story will follow sometime, not sure when lol. For those of you who know me you may know I have muscular dystrophy. I was worried I wouldn't have the strength to push him out, but I did!! I pushed for 25 minutes and he came out with no help from a vacuum or forceps. I am beyond proud of myself. Even if I did scream I can't once or twice hehe!

BriBrit09 — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:23:43 GMT

Hey ladies.

I've been having some contractions/BH's since about 2 at 2:58pm i started to time them and here's how it's been so far. I'll put which ones were strong and how long in between.

2:58pm -Strong

SO as you can see there not consistent and only some are very strong. I don't know what to do. I don't want to call if it's a false alarm. I've been relaxing and have done no strenuous work in the last 16 hours(not even intercourse). Any Advice.

Roseola

Mandz — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:51:38 GMT

I did a serach on here for Roseola and I see that a few of you have lo's who had this as well. I just didn't find the answer I was looking for...

She had the HIGH fever for 3-4 days (105F and we had to give her tylenol every 4 hours those days, couldn't miss a dose even by a minute). And then the fever broke and we noticed the rash. The rash has been there for 2 days now.

My Question: Since the fever broke and she got the rash she has been SOOOOO grumpy and irritable. I can't put her down for a second, she cries at the littles things and I don't know what else to do. Was your lo this grumpy?? If so, how did it last??

Please help us by telling us your favourites.

My cloth diaper review

scraggles — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:54:59 GMT

Well as some of you know I recently switched over to cloth diapers. I have to say I LOVE them! I would recommend them to anyone who is comtemplating using them. I really thought they would be hard to clean and what not (granted, I missed the runny, pre-solid BFing poops) but it is quite easy.

Thanks to Nikki (Xoxo) it was actually your survey and blog on how mothers diaper their children that made me finally switch - something I had been contemplating since before DD was born. I read after the fact about how it wasn't really that hard and the other points you made.

I have now gotten used to the little bubble bum that comes with them, and it's darn cute :P

Plus, if anyone has a frugal hubby like mine who will let their LO sit in a wet sposie forever so he can save the extra 20 cents, now they have no excuse! I hated that!

So, anyway, not knowing much about CDs, I got a little of everything and thought I would share a review of what I found for anyone who is wondering.

Pocket Diapers - I like the pocket diapers for going out and about where you aren't going to be able to change baby as soon as she gets wet (or nap or nighttime although we still use disposables at night) since the absorbent liner is in a pocket it wicks away moisture much like a disposable would. They are the most expensive option.

(for all the pocket diapers, I got one-size)

bumgenius -

Probably the easiest cloth diaper to use since it goes on just like a sposie, so anyone looking for ease of use would probably like them. Personally, I think I prefer snaps to velcro though (just a personal thing, I hate that velcro sound :P) and they don't come with snaps. Also to keep in mind, once baby turns toddler they will be able to take off their own diaper with velcro (or disposable) where it will be harder for them to go nude when they have snaps. They come with a microfiber liner

AMP -

I like these ones. They have snaps to go on and have a whole lot of options colour-wise. You can also buy them in different sizes, but I like the one-size. However, they don't come with a liner and you have to buy it separately. They have their own special AMP liners - I just use prefolds. (although this does make it quite bulky). One good thing about not having a microfiber liner (which shouldn't go against baby's skin), though, is that if you want you don't have to put it in the pocket and can use the shell as more of a diaper cover, and reuse it (but then baby should be changed as soon as they are wet).

Fuzzibunz -

They come with a microfiber liner and have snaps. Rather than having snaps for the rise however, you adjust the elastics inside. It's a bit of a pain to do at first I guess, but then you don't need to worry about it until your baby needs a size up. They come with an extra set of elastics in case they wear out. You can also buy FB in different sizes. The 3 snaps (rather than two which most have) on each side are a bit confusing, I'm not 100% sure I have them lined up right when I use them, but I'm sure DD doesn't notice and it seems like a reliable diaper.

Fitted Diapers - These are diapers that need a cover to go on top. They are a bit cheaper than pockets, but baby should be changed soon when they are wet to avoid rash. My husband really likes these since when we are at home he doesn't bother putting a cover on and then he can see right away when she is wet. He think they are like "little underwear". lol.

Motherease (one size) -

I love that they come in a few cute colours (you can also get unbleached). They are all white on the inside so you can see the concentration of baby's pee. This was one of the only "one-size" fitted diapers I could find, although they also come in different sizes. They are quite easy to use. The inside is unbleached so you can see your baby's pee.

Kissaluvs -

I love how fleecy these diapers are - they seem like they would be so comfy on my baby's bum! They are super easy to use, however they don't come in one size. They have newborn (5-15 lbs) size 1 (10-25 lbs) and size 2 (20-35+ lbs). I can't seem to find size 2 in cute colours (as you might have noticed by now, I love the cute colours!)

Kissaluvs One-size Hybrid -

I did not like these one bit! I'm glad I only bought 2 and I doubt I'll use them. It doesn't have snaps or velcro so if you have a squirmy baby like mine it's hard to get this on and then put a cover over top of it without it coming off. At any rate, you can't let baby go in just this without a cover at home. It says in the description "Closure free system allows you to use a Snappi, pins or a snug fitting cover ". I tried using a snappi and it doesn't work well either. It's also "one-size" but my DD is only 20 lbs and it already doesn't seem to wrap around her properly. It does come in colours, but then the liner on the inside is coloured so it's hard to see the concentration of baby's pee. Wouldn't recommend!

Diaper Covers -cover to go over your fitted diaper or prefold

Bummis Super Whisperer Wrap -

This seems like the best diaper cover. I'm not even sure why - maybe because it has 2 layers of polyester rather than one so it is just thicker. It has velcro closures. I kind of wish they came in solid colours, but there are a few cute prints. They aren't one-size.

Bummis Super Brite -

It is basically the same as the Super whisperer wrap, except it comes in different colours, only has one layer of polyester and the leg gussets are a little different, for slightly more protection from leaks. Also velcro closures, also not one-size.

Blueberry Covers -

They are one size, which I like. They come in a bunch of solid colous and a few patterns. I know there are a tonne of cute patterns, but I haven't found any on a Canadian website and I don't really want to pay for duties/shipping, etc. They have velcro closures (again, some come with snaps, but it's hard to find on a Cdn site). They don't seem as durable as the Bummis.

Prefolds -

Flat pieces of cloth with more absorbancy in the middle, where it is needed most. These are by far the cheapest to use. You can pin them up with pins or a snappi or just lie them flat in a diaper cover. Like I mentioned, I also use them to stuff in my AMP pockets. They are pretty versatile. Obviously they aren't the cutest things lol. These are my hubby's fave, since they are so simple.

Well I know this was long, but I hope if anyone is considering CDs that this might be somewhat helpful!

Hello new mommies

August2008 — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:51:50 GMT

Hello fellow brides/new mommies! I have been active on these forums for a while and now I'm back looking for some help. I work at the Centre for Early Cognition at York University in Toronto where we study questions such as: What can your baby see and understand about the world? Can your baby remember certain things? What is your young infant’s ability to learn? To answer these questions, we come to family's homes and have their baby play a fun game in which they kick to make an overhead crib mobile move.

I am looking for infants between 2-4 months old. This is a study for my Masters thesis and I would be soo very grateful if anyone could offer a bit of their time to participate (its only 15 minutes long and its a great learning experience for everyone!). If anyone here is interested in learning more about this please PM me or call me at 416-909-4624. Thanks so much!!! Joanna

To those of you that are SUPER neat and tidy...

jbuckle — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:46:25 GMT

OK.... for people who could honestly have someone drop by and the house would be perfectly clean and tidy.... that's what I'm looking for...

I'm asking this in all seriousness with NO disrespect at all just sheer.... curiosity mingled in with some jealousy and complete cluelessness...

So, how do you do it? Really!?? How much time do you spend a day cleaning and organizing. Do you have children? Do you exercise? Have pets? Work outside the home? Work at home? Stay at home? Have kids do chores? Cleaning lady? etc etc.

We just can't seem to get ahead. I've had a tough time dealing with the loss of my baby. But it didn't start then. I'm working full time now and we just can't seem to get it together. We both exercise 3-4 times a week... plus the dog is walked twice a day (20 min am... 1 hour pm DH does this). And of course there is Will. Dh just finished up his masters last fall so that has freed up a tonne of time but still...

Fill me in... I'm not looking to be Martha Stewart ( who am I kidding that would be great :P ) but any suggestions would be appreciated....

Baby Food

Freckles — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:20:59 GMT

My DS is 7 months old and I'm just wondering what others his age are eating as far as solids go? So far, we've done sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, apple sauce, pear sauce, bananas, beans.....what else should I try???

She is 15 months old tomorrow!

beccak — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:46:55 GMT

So its been awhile since I posted pictures of Elizabeth. She has recovered incredibly well since the surgery. She can walk, but chooses to crawl everywhere. I am ok with her not walking everywhere yet, as long as she starts walking by herself before this next baby comes. She has 16.5 weeks to get going! :)

The other day I was looking at a video of her from August and I couldn't believe how different she looks now!! Anyway, here are some pictures of my little 'big' girl.

When the TTC journey is a longer than planned

ttc4no1 — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:12:36 GMT

Hey, I don't post much but just thought I'd open the topic for any ladies who have hit some bumps in the TTC journey. Just a place for us to share our stories and lean on each other for support.

I'll start with my journey so far. I went off BCP in September, AF came right away from stopping the pill (withdrawl bleeding). Since then I haven't O'd or seen AF. I'm on CD177 with no sign of O.

I went to my family doctor who was concerned of me not Oing, so he referred me to a gynocologist. Unfortunately, my appointment for that isn't until June. I'll be 9 months in the TTC journey at that time and hopefully have 1 cycle complete.

I also am seeing a naturopath, but have seen no results there either.

I'm not looking for symathy, just a place for other ladies who are having a hard time through this to chat. Hopefully I'm the only one out there with the "problems" but from reading lots of other posts, I think I'm not the only one.

Nightgowns or Pajams or other for hospital bag

sazz1978 — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:10:29 GMT

I was just wondering if the Mom's out there could help me decide. I'm trying to figure out what pajama's to bring to the hospital. I figure I'm going to be in a hospital gown for labour but I'm not sure what to do after that.

I was thinking a nightgown with buttons for easy access for breast feeding. I'm more of a pajama pants and t-shirt girl but I thought if they are checking you several times after the labour then would a night gown just be easier?

Also how many nightgowns or pajama's should I have in my bag?

I'm thinking 2 nightgowns and 1 pair of pajamas and a bathrobe. Do I really need loungewear? We aren't having a ton of visitors probably just immediate family.

Any advice? Suggestions?

UP & DOWN

hoopsyoyo — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:07:49 GMT

Ladies for about a year now DH and I have talked about starting a family...... just when we know/think we are ready I chicken out!! I have posted about this again & again and just not sure how to cope with this feeling of uncertanty :( One day I am all for it and then when it comes down to the nitty gritty I begin to panic!!! :w00t: (for sooo many reasons)

Is there anyone else out there who feels the same way????

When to start feeding cereal to baby?

VictoriaR1 — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:02:32 GMT

Just a question about when to start feeding rice cereal? Taylyn will be 4 months next week and is breastfed. She sleeps very well - she would sleep all night if i didnt have wake her up - the nurse advised to wake her halfway through each night due to her getting dehydrated (brick stains). She had been doing really well and there had not been any stains for the last couple weeks, but after sleeping 6hrs last night there were stains again. Should i start cereal now? I would love to wait until 6 months to start - cause it just seems so early to feed her - what do you guys think?

another thing is do you breastfeed and do cereal before bed - or just cereal?

Freezing (Cow's) Milk

XoXo — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:22:43 GMT

So I found a great deal on Organic milk at Superstore the other day so I stocked up with the intention to freeze it for Chelsea. I froze it in small quantities so I can just pull out what I need from the freezer when I need it. Does anybody know how long it is good for once it has been thawed? I know that breast milk is only good 24 hours after being thawed, but what about cows milk? Any idea? Thanks in advance!

Claire is just about 4 months.
She has been laughing for a good month now and EVERYTIME she gets giggling you can hear her start to choke a bit...sputter....then out comes spit up!
Doesn't matter when she fed last.
Any of your LO's do this?

I see her pediatrician in 2 weeks and I am planning to mention it to her.

Claire does have a different anatomy in her mouth seen as her syndrome affects "midline" Maybe that is why she does this?

It's so sad though...She really gets giggling good, then we have to calm her down cause shes sputtering on spit up!

Thanks girls

No, its not me needing one! Lol. I'm staying at my sisters who has a 7 mth old and is pregnant again!
She was talking about double strollers and was as clueless as I was in helping.
I looked for old posts on this but couldn't find it!
Her dd will be 14 mths when the new baby arrives.
What can you girls reccommend?
Tia!

How long did it take for you to get pregnant?

This is my first FP section post after lurking for a bit. DH and I are approaching our 1st anniversary, and we will celebrate by starting to TTC. :w00t:

I was curious how long it took for you to get pregnant while you were TTC. I know everyone is different, but I just wanted to get an idea. TIA!

An update on Claire...and a BIG thank you!

I just wanted to let you all know that Claire is doing wonderful :P
We have been home now for just over a month....The longest at home period yet!!! I have finally started to get myself comfortable going out alone with Claire...and driving with her.
I do put her in the front seat (airbag turns off) but it's the only way I will be comfortable.
Her breathing is still not perfect, but MUCH better than before!

I want to thank all of you for your prayers, kind words, and kind acts.
There are a few on these boards who were so kind as to mailing stuff for Claire, myself and hubby.
Thank you to you girls! And everyone else as well you have all been so amazing and supportive. It's incredible how many nice people are in this world...people you don't even know in person.

You girls ROCK!!!

OOPS, Pictures...Of course!!! Twist my arm Rachel!! ha ha
