Better write something before this gets dusty!

Well, today is pretty much the same as previous days. Just gonna highlight a few new things:

1) Elijah’s eyes seem to be the same – some discharge still building up lightly around the eye after each feed. So our paed doctor gave us the green light to use a prescription eye drop. It’s getting slightly better now but will have to wait a few days and see if it’s really better. Although Elijah doesn’t seem to be bothered by it, the routine of cleaning and putting eye drops after every feed can be a little taxing on us and him. It’s also taking 2 adults to do the eye cleaning procedure.

2) Slings – We got round to the nearby Nature’s Cradle to try out a few baby carrier/slings. The best so far from there seem to be the hugabub. Choice recommended hugabub as the best *sling* type carrier during their test. The best carrier ranked by Choice was Bjorn Active. I personally like the hugabub because it’s so flexible (all kinds of carry position). It’s also probably one of the only double shoulder carriers that is 100% attached/assembled on you before lifting the baby up to insert. Also quick to put in and take out the baby. Check out the videos on youtube.

The downside was people commented it wasn’t great for heavy babies but that is generally the case across most front carriers. Furthermore, I have read quite a few ebayers selling their carriers because their baby prefers the pram.

3) Food for mum & dad? – Well I have developed a slightly sore throat and tongue after eating so much ginger based food. Even my mum agrees she can’t take too much ginger anymore.. haha.. So I’ll probably see more normal dishes otherwise I’m not coming home for lunch!
