Congrats on baby matilda! She's lovely. X

We're also in the realms of fussy evenings, last night was horrendous. I think we saw every hour. I'm sure he just needs a damn good poo to be honest but it's not happening.

As for the house, I'm just about keeping on top of chores but I am perpetually washing at the moment. Grr!

 

[onebumpplease]

I've already said, but our evenings are a nightmare! Maybe wind too, but with her being treated for thrush I don't want to give her even more medicine, but I may well once thrush is gone.
Scottish I am still teaching, but don't have a permanent post, just supply. If I could guarantee work, I would go back asap and let my OH use my maternity pay as it would be better for us financially.

 

[Scottish]

Yea onebump the teaching situation is dire at the moment for jobs! Am glad I have my nursing to fall back on if I struggle to get a job when I complete my training.

Aww baby Matilda is gorgeous well done xxx

Yea my house is also not been cleaned for a while just the basics! Actually I managed to wash the floors today while Hama had a wee nap so that was a bonus

Afm I don't know if yesterday and today is a fluke but I think hama may be feeding better from me! He hasn't been stuck to me constantly and when I have offered the formula he only has been taking 1-2oz then is full so fingers crossed he us now using his tongue better since its healing now

Lol I'll look into the infacol and see if we have that here , thanks for the suggestion

Celtic I am on the antibiotics now, hope they kick in soon because I'm still pussing and its going through to the tops of my pants and I don't have many that fit me yet as in still swollen lol

Chase did great last night. We had to wake him up at midnight to eat because he was asleep for 5 hours, which I'm sure was due to him crying all day. Then he slept until 4:30 and knocked right back out until 7. Took another little nap and was up for 1 1/2 crying I'm just happy he went down for a nap again an didn't fight it for hours

Baby dreams congrats! She's gorgeous!

Bar we have the mommys bliss , it seemed to work well at first but not so much anymore

I got the hang of baby wearing by shoving him down my top them putting wrap on, nice and secure. I was so angry at it before that as my boobs seems to be pushing him out and I had to hold him while trying to wear him. So annoying.

I had my baby girl on August 20th at 9:00 am. 8 lbs. 15 oz. 21 1/2" long. Named her Emma Rose.
We found out when being discharged from the hospital that she has a metabolic deficiency called mcadd. I was on the wheelchair being pushed out to the door when the call came in to the nurse's station. We were turned back around and our baby girl was sent to the nicu because her blood sugars were low. We are now home and doing well, but I am an emotional wreck since her diagnosis.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying their babies.

@stargazer, I'm sorry you are going through it. It's hard having a child in nicu especially if you weren't expecting it. There's a few of us who have had kids in nicu so talk to us if you need support.

Has anyone tried colief or similar before? I'm considering getting it for Cyrus who still has a lot of trouble with gas/reflux.

 

[Barhanita]

stargazer, congratulations!!

Myles is very gassy and maybe colic I am not sure as my other two never had that. So I stuck on his amber teething necklace early. Seems to have done something , Still burps but has calmed down. Also movement helps if it is colic I always read and I baby wear and carry mine a lot anyway.

Congrats stargazer I hope all looks up from here on in for you.

 

[JenzyKY]

Bella, Infacol is simethicone or mylicon in the US if that is where you are.

 

[Angelmarie]

to all those dealing with flux issues Caelan had severe reflux. Nothing helped- infacol, colief, infant Gaviscon, domperidone, massage etc. it was a nightmare. You have my every sympathy and I hope that things settle for you soon.

Congrats on babies Matilda and Emma! Two more little cuties!

Dragonfly - I think Myles is very like William!

Amelie has developed lots of milk spots. They look awful. There's nothing I can do though, is there? Should I try a little expressed breast milk?

 

[Scottish]

Myles is gorgeous dragonfly! Xxx

Congrats on Emma stargazer xxx

Angel hama has lots of milk spots as well all over his face and chin and I can't seem to shift them so any advice is welcome my way to xxx

 

[borr.dg.baby]

congratulations stargazer! she's precious

DF what a cutie! Glad you got a hang of wearing him

 

[lolpants]

Congratulations stargazer! Sorry to hear your departure from hospital got delayed, but glad they caught it in time!

I'm going to a sling workshop on the 10th. Only £15 and it's a 3 hour course with refreshments and 2 weeks hire of a sling

Swear I just had 1st non wind related smile tonight!

Lol xx

 

[Sooz]

Congrats stargazer! Sorry about her diagnosis though, that must have been a shock.

Mason is not settling tonight at all. So tired I could cry. I can cope with two hourly wakes when he sleeps in between but this is something else.

I hadn't thought about putting his amber on yet but I'm seriously considering it now!

 

[Barhanita]

What is Amber?

Lena have just started her fuss a minute ago. Let's see how many hours it's gonna be tonight.

 

[ZooMa]

Congrats on Matilda and Emma! Fx for you baby hopes!

Cross posted but I'm craving the support

I'm 2.5 weeks out from my c section and still having an excruciating pain that I don't think is normal. It's located just to the side and above my incision, and feels like a shard of glass or burning needle that suddenly grabs me. I take ibuprofen round the clock, and am still needing Percocet. If I keep up on my meds I can be pain free. However towards the end of the day it can appear with a vengeance. It's so sharp and sudden if I move a certain way that all I can do is cry out and, well, just cry.

I've never had any type if surgery before, but I'm worried this is something besides normal healing. I can't really identify which movements exacerbate the pain, but even standing up straight, or worse, trying to get in to bed is horrendous. I don't feel feverish, the wound looks fine, and there's no redness or warmth that would make me think infection. I'm just so worried this is going to turn in to a chronic pain issue.

I did see one of the docs last week (not the one that actually did the surgery) and she said that's where there's a knot for one of the internal sutures. She said sometimes if that gets tied too tightly the body reacts to it. However, the knot should resorb and pain be relieved in 2-3 weeks.... Well I'm there but it's not any better.

I'm writing this post mainly to wallow in my misery but also to ask if anyone has gone through a similar thing. Thanks.

 

[Barhanita]

Zooma, I don't have any experience, but I wanted to send you hugs.

 

[Sooz]

Zooma when I has surgery for my third degree tear the ends of the knot on the internal sutures uses to poke through the skin and stab me, that felt like a sharp needle pain, though I wouldn't say as bad as you're describing?
