August Beach Bumps - 24 Girls, 27 boys, & 2 team yellow! 39 babies born!!

[mac1979]

Raptor had his two month check up today and vaccinations. He is 12 lbs 5 oz (45 percentile), 24.5 inches tall (94 percentile) and a head circumference is 15.9 cm (84 percentile). We also have to get him some physical therapy for torticolis. He will only look to the left and with all I have been working with him on my own he rarely looks to the right voluntarily, his head is getting slightly misshapen now so we need to get on this. He also has a slight heart murmur, the doc said it is completely normal for two months and it usually resolves on its own. I also have to keep and eye out for a fever after his shots.

We can't seem to reach a happy medium for weather here so I can take Raptor outside. Before it was extremely hot (in the upper 80's and higher, with humidity) and now it is only supposed to get up to 60 today with wind so it feels colder.

Now to get caught up on the thread after a busy weekend.

 

[more babies]

Just had Landon's appointment today. He will be 7 weeks tomorrow and is 13lbs 5oz and 23.5 inches long. I think he's going to be a big boy!

Niamh:
he cries and nothing makes him feel better
his tummy gets hard as a rock
closes his fists
arches his back
while he cries he farts and farts and farts

and the best part is that if it started randomly, it ends randomly!

I read this on a book, and it seems to me to be colic

 

[pola17]

@lol: Hope breast feeding goes back to normal! and lol, yes, no murder!

Borr: Like I wrote on your journal, I hope you guys get better soon!

[bella21]

pola if you find something that helps...let me know!!! please!!

 

[pola17]

Niamh: will ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out!!

Bella: I´m experimenting today with giving him every 3 hours a tea spoon of chamonile tea... just found on webmd that anise tea is not recommended, as the anise can be toxic... so... cross your fingers!!

 

[Barhanita]

Pola, how about infant massage? I'm not certified in it like some at work but I think one of the benefits they talk about is helping with pooping/gas. If it is frequent though couldn't it be an intolerance? Could you try the more expensive formula for a while to see? I didnt realize sensitive formulas were so expensive. Henry goes crazy in the evenings. I thought that was what colic was. I don't know.

I have multiple formula coupons I don't need. I hate to throw them away. Any US person need them?

Mac, I've seen either really sleepy or really angry.

 

[pola17]

babyhopes, will check it out!

Bella: I think it´s normal tea that you and I drink, but make sure there´s no caffeine on it... here in Ecuador we find the chamonile itself (the flower) so I can make it fresh from it... also I read that you can give it to them temperate.. not warm nor cold... I guess putting 5 seconds on the microwave should be enough....
I hope it works! LOL!

Mac: I have no idea, but hope some of the girls can share stories!!

 

[pola17]

Jenzy: I´m trying those massages.. it helps some actually, but he still gets colic and it kills me to see him crying like that!
Formula is way too expensive in Ecuador!!

 

[Barhanita]

Mac, I've been told that babies get either sleepy or fussy. So you got lucky!!

 

[mac1979]

Jenzy-are any of the coupons for Gerber?

 

[bella21]

pola,I've tried the baby massages too...they calm him down for a minute and he's back to screaming. actually i think I've tried everything except the vacuume cleaner lol is he colic all day long or is just a certain time of the day? Chase is fussy during the day sometimes but once 10pm comes around is when he really screams. havnt gotten him to bed before 2am the past 2 nights. but then he sleeps for 6 hours straight, wakes up to eat and sleeps for another 3. Its hard to just accept that its "colic" when your screaming purple faced baby is in front of you writhing in pain and theres nothing you can do about it

 

[JenzyKY]

Mac no I just have enfamil and similac.


Pola what about dr brown bottles. Are those available there?
