Hello just wanted to say "hi"
...
Anyway, unfortunately she was diagnosed with colic and reflux, put on medication and had a very rare, serious allergic reaction. Her skin blistered, burnt and peeled, she stopped BF and was generally very ill. I was told to supplement with formula which made her really poorly, only to find out she has a milk allergy too. To make matters worse she wouldn't take a bottle at all and I had to syringe feed her for weeks
Thankfully all is well now although we have just been through a horrendous time with separation anxiety, stranger anxiety and her first two teeth all at once. It was horrific for a while. I still can't leave her to go to the loo or anything. She also had the "stranges" with my DH of all people and he couldn't go anywhere near her
Have your LO's been through separation anxiety yet and if so how long does it last?
Hello megewansmum
Nice to 'meet' you. Sounds like you've had some tough times. Our Monty comes and goes with the separation anxiety. He has a habit of crying when anybody leaves the room, even if he is still with somebody (whether it's me or OH or whoever). So far he is pretty good with going to other people. This might be because of our parenting set-up -- basically OH and I do half work, half childcare each, so Monty gets to spend equal amounts of time with both of us -- so it's not just mummy all day, as it is with some people.Re teeth - his bottom two middle ones came through almost overnight and we thought teething was a doddle. Ha ha ha, what did we know?! He now has the next bottom two plus FIVE at the top coming through all at once, and TBH he is quite a grump at the moment. He is fine when he is super-amused, so basically when there is lots going on, at parent/baby groups, out for a walk, etc. ... but it's a long shot as to whether we can pop him down on the floor to amuse himself - most the time he'll suddenly remember his teeth hurt, shove his fist in his mouth and yell until we pick him up or play with him - at which point he forgets the pain and carries on smiling again.
Re the early days - we had colic, horrible horrible horrible, wouldn't wish it on ANYBODY, so much harder work than any of the books tell you, and I used to HATE how doctors and nurses use the term 'only colic'. Actually, no, when it's your own baby it isn't ONLY at all, thank you very much. Anyway, we fortunately didn't have the complications that you had, so on that front I can only send you
and hope that everything is getting heaps better for you now.Nice to see a new Bumpkin in here, anyhow. Stick around!
I am now n the time frame for milk to change back to colostrum though so im worried he'll get fussy.
Sorry to hear your fissure is back- that royally sucks I can imagine. Is there anything they can do to help it, or is it one of those things you just have to wait to heal up & hope for the best? 
nice to see you here hun 
She hasn't started crawling yet so I think alot of it is frustration. Hopefully she'll start soon and I'll be forced into babyproofing quickly 
Now she does STTN but is still pretty defiant sometimes going down for her naps. Can't wait until she's only on one a day. I hate them. They are so limiting. I'm supposed to be starting at a playgroup in September with her but the times are 9am and 1.30pm which both coincide with her naps so not sure which would be better. I'm tempted to go for the earlier one as I guess she'll be dropping that nap in a few months anyway.
I think my BIL is coming over for dinner tomorrow too.
