Honestly, my family is the worst. I'd just be wasting my breath. My brother hasn't even been to meet Alex. Infact, he hasn't even mentioned him to me! My sisters are very selfish. I feel bad for my Dad because he's always so optimistic about them and feels let down every time. At least he has us. He's coming to Blackpool with us in July.
Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

Duno if it was the swimming or what yesterday but lewis was shattered. He slept 1.30-5 and I was sure he'd wake a fair bit in the night. Well, he's just slept from 8.15pm when he went down perfectly. No cryin or anythin and asleep in 5 mins, until 5am when he fed in just 10 mins and was back asleep by 5.15 lol. Here's hoping I can repeat that!! Funniest thing is, initially it wasnt lewis that woke me, it was the fact that my hair and pj top were soaked. Lol. I woke up to milk everywhere! ! Lol. Oh the joys eh?! Lol.
How are all your babies sleeping going?

Got a miracle sleep from Alex, down at 9 up at 3:45, down at 4:20 up at 6
(it's bright, can't wait on my blackout curtains arriving!! He's feeding now but I'll try to get him to go back to sleep again.
I don't think it will be long before Lewis is managing 12-13 hours right through
How's your ear Karen?

Well done on the sleep babies!! James is still up once through the night but he's going longer between feeds in the day now too.
We're going to pick up his photo from mothercare today. I'll need to get to a chemist as well, think I have thrush

xxOh the joys I spent about a year swinging between BV and thrush a few years ago so can sympathise! Hope you get something that works!
Alex's skin has got worse. I think he is allergic to egg. Something as been niggling at him and has him being sick and I couldn't work it out until I noticed there's dried egg powder in my rolls and I always have mayo with my chips. It doesn't make him as spewey as everything else but it's brought him out in terrible eczema! His skin is all cracked and red.
God knows what I'll eat now egg is off the menu! It's in all the wheat free bread and pasta

YAY for lots of sleep. Dylan still does brill during the night but the last few days he must of been having a growth spurt as he has wanted to feed loads. Seems to have settled down today.
My ear/head was quite sore during the night and I didn't get much sleep Couldn't get a doc appt today but typically its now eased off. I 
what's going on?!
Kaiden has Brodie coming round today. Dave away to get them both from nursery. Think we are taking them to the park this avo with Kaiden's wee electric rc car since its a nice day here.
I've been wanting to take the boys swimming but waiting for my ear to get better.
Laura eggs used to bring out my eczema when I was little. I still get eczema on my hands & find doublebase gel is great or epaderm cream.

We got doublebase emollient for the bath and Epaderm for his skin. Ended up going to the chemist and using the minor ailments service because the only doctor available today was the one who doesn't believe he can be allergic to anything.
Neither of my sisters phoned my Dad to wish him a happy Father's Day yesterday. He's gutted.

Aw when a nightmare laura. What will you eat now? Except rice.
I think I have thrush too. Lol. Off to the chemist before meeting the girls from antenatal. Is the treatment for that on the minor ailments thing?
Karen, glad your ear is a bit better. Have you got a doc appt for later in the week?

Well I have spent most of today in floods of tears
Alex was niggling away all day, throwing up wee bits here and there. I was asking about the hypoallergenic formula on a FB group I'm part of and one lady in Hamilton offered me a tub so I could try it. So I drove to her house, in floods of tears because I felt like I was abandoning breastfeeding and I really didn't want to do that. I hate the thought of not feeding him myself but I hate the thought of him being ill more so I thought I'd suck it up.
So we picked up the Nutramigen AA and headed home where at 4pm I made him a 7oz bottle of the stuff. He threw the lot up and was still throwing it up over 4 hours later. He has also came out in the worst rash I have ever seen him with. Yep - he's allergic to the hypoallergenic formula. I have only just managed to settle him and have spent the night in tears because he's so ill and our situation is now so hopeless.
All I can do now is go to complete basics with my diet and continue to BF. From now on it will be meat and veg and rice and that's it.
I feel drained.

Aww Laura!! Big hugs to you and Alex. It must break your heart to see him so sick. As we've said before, hopefully the allergies are something he'll grow out of.
My complaints seem insignificant now! Well after thinking I had thrush and spending stupid money on canesten, my period has started tonight! I'm now thinking that's the cause of the irritation. Along with that, the last couple of days my bottom lip has been really cracked and sore which never happens. It's now broken into a massive cold sore. And I know I'm probably being paranoid but I'm a bit worried cos I've been kissing James and not too long ago there was a story about a 6 week old baby who died cos his dad had a coldsore and kissed him xx
