hey there...are u a stay at home mommy too? if u are i would love to chat with you sometime!! i have a baby girl also and while hubby is at work it would be nice to talk to another new mommy

I dont really talk to my family much. My older brother calls me here and there and we go to visit them once a month or so.. but it still sucks, i always pictured having my family around once the baby was born, my father works less then a mile from my house and has yet to stop by to see the baby. were just not that important to him. Im working on just being happy with what ive got. My relationship with most of my family has never been great, and i have no idea why. They are just consumed with there own lives.

my family is all about 1-3 hour away from me. it sucks. I would love to just go hang out with them during the day while my hubby is at work, but its just too much taveling for one day, esp. with traffic. as for friends i really dont have many here either, i hae one or two but were not like the best of friends, its hard. My husbands fam. is all pretty close to here, but its not the same. My own mother wasnt even at the hospital when i gave birth to my son. I feel your pain

Well, I know how you feel about your hubby being the only one around. I moved to Salem to be with mine. My family is over 6 hours away. The only people I know are the people I work with, they are very nice and i have gotten to know alot of them pretty well, but its not like having a good friend that you can call on and talk with when ever. I am just thankful that Jeff IS my bestfriend and he seems to care and listen to me when I'm having a bad day. His parents live here, but I avoid them at all costs, lol! After having Riley I started to get in a slump where I didn't want to leave the bedroom, let alone the house! I would probably still be in bed and doing nothing and talking to noone if I didn't return back to work last month. As much as I hate not being with Ri, its been good to have people interaction again, but this site is what helps me get things off my chest and gives me the real conversations I need about life. I don't know where this message was going, but I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone!

I'm not in the same boat, but I would be here to talk if you needed a friend. I have two little boys, 2 years and 2 months. This site is great to meet people even if it's just online :)

sonya75 - Thursday, 8 May
I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I have my mom that I can talk to. But she lives about an hour & a half away, so it's not like she can be there for me all the time. And I only have 1 friend here. And I haven't seen her in months! She's busy too, with her 3 yr old, and work and lives in another town. I know they have mothers clubs around, but that's not really my thing. I tend to have a hard time meeting people. I'm a bit shy, and am not one for small talk. So, it's mostly me & my hubby!

I feel your pain! :o) My daughter sleeps usually between 9-10pm and wakes up between 4-5am but the past 2 nights she has decided to change it as well! She was in bed at 9pm lastnight, woke up at 1am, 4:45am, and then back up again at 6:45.. I am dead! My son (2) woke up at 3am and came in our room, I don't know if he was sleep walking or what! hah I just put him back to bed and then had to fall asleep all over again... I don't get it.. I seem to have her on a great little schedule then she'll change it up. She has been nursing right when she gets up (during the day) but then for a few days she refused and wants to nurse right when I lay her for naps. I feel confused.. I love nursing but I don't really understand.. so now she will only nurse from 1 side right when she wakes up and wants to nurse the other side and then when she's ready for her nap she takes the other side... ugh! Any suggestions????? :o)

Babies have really short attention spans so changing activities often will be necessary. Maybe she will be more content just playing with you (tickles, singing, rolling around, standing, etc). Try a baby carrier and walk around and do chores..just talk to her the whole time and stop in front of mirrors for her to see you and herself.

I used to use other formulas w/ my 2nd at the same time like if I needed formula I went to Shoko and got there off brand instead of driving all the way to Walmart and she did fine, w/ it. I think overall they are the same but different brands.

I am loving the playtex drop ins and wish i'd used them from the beginning! oh, well. Carys is 4 months next week and she likes the slow nipples. More control, I guess. You can also get playtex nipples that go by the babies suck as to how much comes out. I'm in Canada so if we have them here, I'm sure you have them. take care

Today Kaleb is 3 months and i'm off that medicine now for the strep throat so i'm hoping that was why he was acting the way he was. It was pretty hard one day he was awake non-stop from 2 pm- about 12 am no joke. normally he sleeps alot through out the day. So i though well that's ok he'll sleep great tonight! Ya right he would not go to sleep that night, everytime he would go to sleep (with me rocking him) I would put him to sleep and then as soon as I tried to put him down he would wake up and not go back to sleep!. It was def. pretty hard lol!

We have the rainforest jumperoo. Gavin likes it somedays but hates it other days. We got it on sale and I am not sure I would have made the investment if it wasn't on sale. Gavin is 15weeks (so 3.5 months old). I got the jumperoo when Gavin was about 2.5 months old..I have a towel around him to help prop him up since he was pretty small at the beginning. Even now he seems to need a bit of support to stay upright since the seat is pretty big.

Gavin is happiest in the morning as well. I have to work hard to catching him when he starts to look tired and put him down for a nap asap or he will get cranky and overtired very easily...if that happens the rest of the day will be a struggle til he gets a good nap in. Does Taylor nap well? She might be lacking sleep and thus getting crankier as the day goes on. Or she might be bored? Gavin gets cranky when he is bored.

ways I spend days with beckett other than feeding, burping, and changing:
~ cuddle and play with toys, often in my lap or the boppy
~ dance and sing to music
~ 'read' picture books, usually no more than 2-3 at any time
~ ride in the stroller around the city, doing errands or just walking. if he's napping, i'll go to the park and read or get online w/ my PDA. i'm usually out for at least one hour, weather allowing.
~ play in the activity gym, taking time to do tummy time
~ play in the bouncy chair - if he's in his chair i'll fold laundry or put on makeup, talking to him most of the time
~ play on a blanket on the floor, rolling him around, doing tummy time, playing with toys. I often cook dinner when he's rolling on the floor, talking to him & checking in.
~ short (2 mins) supervised turns in the bumbo chair
we do most of these things every day, sometimes repeating. beckett eats about every 2 hours, so our playtimes are short, probably 30 minutes. he's a power napper, not usually more than 30-45 mins, and likes to either be rocked/cuddled or dance and sung to until drowsy. beckett is an active baby, but very cheerful and sociable. he does cry, of course, but generally can be distracted or soothed in a few minutes.

I can relate to your baby not being content. Gavin is now 3.5 months and is starting to be content for longer periods of time. Right now my days look like this : wake-up anywhere from 6:30-7:30am, eat (takes an hour), play (rotating between bouncy chair with toys, floor mat, jumperoo) for about 45 minutes, nap (about 45 minutes), put him in the carrier and do chores around the house or go out for a walk, nap (45 minutes-ish), eat (takes an hour), play (on a blanket or activity mat or on my bed with toys) for about 30 minutes, nap (lasts 2.5 hours), eat (takes an hour), then Gavin plays on his own (baby einstein video and in bouncy chair with toy kick bar and extra toys) and i make supper while periodically attend to him (usually for about 30-40 minutes), playtime with his dad when he gets home from work, nap (30 minutes), cuddle time (read books, tickling, tuumy time, sitting up practice, singing to him - no toys just us interacting), eating again (takes an hour) and bedtime (around 8:30-9pm). That is my day in a nutshell..at least days i amt home.

haydensmommy08 - Monday, 5 May
I totally understand your frustration with your baby not being content. My daughter is breastfed so she thinks that I'm a pacifier when she wants something to suck on. I spent so much money on a glider, bouncy seats, swings (a portable and a big one)... She has 3 different types of play gym things for on the floor... nope she'll sit in her swing sometimes if she wants to... Anyways, if you figure something out let me know!

Have you tried Colic Calm...that also does wonders for her gas and reflux. Other gripe waters make her spit up, but this one does the trick. The only down side is that it is black, the stains always come out with Oxiclean though. If you are interested you can get some at www.coliccalm.com

karenc - Monday, 5 May
when beckett takes a bottle, he drinks 5.5 oz except before bed, when he takes 6 oz. I assume he gets as much when he breastfeeds, but of course don't know. :)

JenO - Sunday, 4 May
No it isn't hard. Not sure if he is allergic to milk or not but he was really fussy and gassy and my dr. was off on vacation so we just switched him to soy and it seemed to help. He has reflux too which was probably the issue in the beginning however we did give him a bottle of nestle good start a couple of weeks ago and he threw the whole thing up again. Sorry this isn't probably much help!

mama2b - Saturday, 3 May
Avery was on nutramigen and I just started trying the soy again and I can already tell that she is more fussy, but I am going to stick with it and just see what happens. The soy does make her stool hard (sometimes like little pellets) but she has still been going at least once a day. The nutramigen worked for us and if she gets fussier we may be going back to it very soon!!
