how are the 7 month olds?

"teapot" wrote in message om... Moo boy has had 2 bottom teeth for 2 days now, but no biting yet thankfully! My boobs do feel a bit strange though, a bit like they have been sandpapered, yuck. Solids are still a very minor part of his diet, he will go for about a teaspoon of mushed up heated banana but isnt really interested in anything else. He is a fat boy though with a big squishy tummy so I know he is not lacking in calories. He is sitting quite confidently now and can get from sitting side to tummy pretty well. I am terrified of him crawling, we are just not ready. Sleeping is still crap, last night he was up every 2 hours but the teeth are still not all the way through so I think it's that. Breastfeeding is a breeze now, My bloke reminded me what it was like at the start, me crying in frustration and being really sore and its such a distant memory. teapot and the Moo boy Things are going downhill for us on the solids front. He has been fine with apples and bannanas, but then he got an ezcema attack. He has flared up all over his face so bad that I don't want to take him out cause people will stare, he has got it on his trunk for the very first time, and a very large circular area on the back of his knee looks terrible. I can only conclude it's my diet that's the problem, but I already cut out dairy. On top of that both eyes are infected green gunky sticking together, he was given antibiotics for an ear infection, and was told it would clear his eyes. It hasn't cleared his eyes, and I was told by the doc on a return visit to just keep them clean! No eye drops no nothing. Even breast milk in the eyes hasn't helped. He is 20lbs, and loves his play centre, he turns around in a circle now. Just bloody fed up, oh and the bitings back for more tootypegs to come thru! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggg! Well you did ask ;o) poor Andrea! has he got teeth top and bottom? I had a dreamthat the moo had loads of teeth andi was hiding from him cos i was scared to put a nipple anywhere near him :-) teapot |

I had a dreamthat the moo had loads of teeth andi was hiding from him cos i was scared to put a nipple anywhere near him :-) teapot Thanks Teapot, Hey your dream sounds like my reality! No teeth at the top, he has 4 teeth all along the bottom! God help me when the top ones break thru!!!! It's weird all my others got 2 at the bottom together, then 2 at the top. I am lucky now, if I'm feeding him I know he will bite at the end of a feed, just as he is pulling off he scrapes me with his teeth, then goes in for the final piranha attack move!! I usually unlatch him with my finger first, but if I'm distracted (like when I'm watching Eastenders!) I fall victim for the attack! And it bloody hurts! I am still keeping a food diary, but other than starving myself I'm not sure we will find the culprit food. My doc says sometimes you never find the cause of the ezcema. Aw they are sooo cute at this age! Kam pulls me in for a big snuggle or a hug! He is so cuddly. I'm happy to hear Moo boy is doing well, fingers crossed he won't nip! (too much ;o) -- Andrea mom of 5 - latest addition Kamron David 7 months still nursing strong with 4 teeth! |

Bug is doing well! She got her first two fangs in about a week ago.
No biting yet either -- I don't look forward to it. Foodwise she's into most of what she's tried so far. We may move on to more solid stuff soon -- while travelling recently her "dinner" was little bits of torn-off banana (I didn't fancy trying to spoon feed her goop in the airport) She did a good job gumming and swallowing more solid chunks. She loves water and just today she got the concept of the sippy cup, so we may be able to move away from using the Avent bottle cap and letting her do it herself with less mess. Sleep is all messed up from two weeks in a different time zone. We visited my husband's family and I quite enjoyed the plethora of doting grandparents, aunts, and uncles to babysit at any time. Before we went on vacation, two nights I put her down in her co-sleeper and she went to sleep on her own without fussing. I was stunned! The next night it didn't work, and then we spent 2 and a half weeks travelling. I tried it a couple of times since, but no success. I'd love a repeat but don't necessarily expect one. So for now it's back to falling asleep with me and nursing a bunch at night. In June I go back to work and will not be home two nights a week, so we need to figure out how to transition her to not needing me to fall/stay asleep every night. She is definitely a baby on the move! Not fully crawling yet, but scooting around on her tummy pretty fast and able to get up on her knees. She can stand holding onto the couch for up to a minute or two, and finally is able to sit a little better. Now she sits for up to 10 or 15 minutes until she loses her balance and topples over. I think she's finally decided that it's a neat way to hang out and play. We've started doing baby signs when we remember, which isn't always. I still love nursing her. I always feel a little sad when I see a baby getting formula. I just find breastfeeding to be such a pleasure (and I know she does too) that I feel bad for moms and babies who aren't doing so as well. Kate and the Bug, June 8 2003 |
