January JellyBean mummies

[Neko]

Well Quinn is 10 days old today and has developed a barking cough. Its not all day just here and there. I hope its just a bit of a cold and not something else like asthma or RSV. I went to pharmacy to ask about vicks vapour rub. I know hes to young to rub it on him but SIL said to add some to a pot of boiling water and stand in the kitchen with him. The pharmacist said not to as it can irritate his lungs and throat and nose. Just to let it pass but if it gets worse to take him to the Dr. He seems to be diong ok thou. Doesn't seem to feel aweful but who knows really as at this point he still pretty much sleeps all day! LOL Anyways just wanted to update you all.

When my son was a baby and sick we always had a vaporizer in his room with the liquid Vicks for the vaporizer. IT worked great and wasn't irritating to him.


Took my daughter for her 2 week check up (even though she is officially 3 weeks today). She's up to 9 pounds and 22 inches long already.

Hi ladies,

I have a question for you, when we chose our pram we got the mamas and papas sola with the carrycot. The pushchair bit is rear facing and lies completely flat so is durable from birth.

We are going to the caravan and motorbike show on Saturday. We will be there most of the day so csnt use the car seat and Isobel is starting to be more aware of her surroundings so don't think she will be too happy in the carrycot for the whole day, she likes eye contact.

Do u think she will be okay when awake to be in the pram on the first click up so she can see around here a little and flat when asleep? Know she can't see yet but when awake she like to be up. It is less inclined than her car seat?

So confused.... Plus she will be in and out of it all day as we will be in and out of motorhomes so will never be in it for any time really.

im sure that would be fine, i'd do it!

thanks he is adorable and so good! Just a shame he is growing to quickly I want him to be tiny again

Anyone heard from Regina Disneydancr?
Edit:
Just sent her a message on FB

Hope Naomi, Leanne and Jolene are doing ok too, aswell as all the January mummies, I must have a baby that sleeps a lot as I seem to have a lot of time on my hands....or maybe im just sad and always on here

 

[jojo-m]

wow you ladies are an inspiration on here, when exactly do you start feeling like you have time at all? most of my day is spent feeding or trying to tidy the house in the rare moments Fearne isn't being held (she doesn't like not being held) Wish I had time to catch up properly with everyone, my posting must have taken a real nose dive!

Sar Joe is gorgeous!

Fraggles hope Jacob better soon, do you think he has caught a cold?

Sorry if missed anything/anyone out but duty calls x

 

[Mom 2B]

I'm always on here too. My baby sleeps alot. but my 2 yr old does not. I come on real quick when I have a smoke thou.

I was actually wondering earlier about Regina.

jojo-m I'm the same Jennifer hates not being on me!!!

Lovealittle1 Jennifer does the screaming crying pushing herself on thing as well, it does get better. I find having a hand either side of my boob works well and also stroking her hair.

Thing here are ok, we have had a busy week with rhymetime, visiting work, BFclinic, lunch with a friend and shopping in town. I feed in public for the first time yesterday and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, my friend was with me though. Don't think I'd feel confident doing it on my own but mothercare have a breatsfeeding room so that's ok Just need to find a loo that I can fit her pram into now!!!!!

I phoned my health visitor today to say I think I have the beginnings of PND, I am gutted, I so wanted to prove them wrong, that just because I have a MH diagnosis doesn't mean I'll get it. Last night I just fell apart. I felt so angry with Jennifer and Dave and then so guilty for feeling angry. The HV is going to phone on Mon and will come to see me on Wed. I feel like such a failure

Hope everyone else is good x

Looks like it's a cold (my family all have it) he seems better when propped up and people keep advising to use a dummy as he's comfort suckling anything he can get in his mouth but I dont know what to do

Jo I post while I have J in my arms asleep. It's only way I stay awake.

Hey hun sorry to hear you're going through this. I have a history of depression so was really worried about getting pnd and about a week or so ago thought I had it. Could it be the baby blues? Thats what I put mine down to, and exhaustion. If I get tired I am just a wreck and cry over anything. Hubby is pretty good and if he sees I'm like this will take over and let me sleep. If it is pnd though there is a lot they can do and theres some great support on bnb as a lot of ladies go through it.

 

[lovealittle1]

Lotsa lostunicorn.

We survived our 1st journey out together BF clinic was awesome. I'll be going every week now. It was great to talk to other mummies and see all the babies. I go t some good advice and reassurance which was much needed!!

I also find it hard to get on here. I really try to sleep when kieran sleeps so I seem to have very little time left in the day.

your doing fantastic hun give yourself some credit, early days with a new baby is hard! as someone else suggested its possibly baby blues, I was in tears myself just yesterday, angry with Paul for not helping me at all and working all the time, been so tired doesn't help but least you have mw to talk things over with

Looks like it's a cold (my family all have it) he seems better when propped up and people keep advising to use a dummy as he's comfort suckling anything he can get in his mouth but I dont know what to do

ah poor little babe, if you want to give him a dummy anyway its worth a try! I'm going to aim for multi tasking when all the visits are over with, can't seem to get anything done for visitors! hardly anyone even been yet so can see that taking a few weeks!

I'm having a bit of a trauma with my pram. I got the silvercross 3d and i love it, it does everything I want it to do but it won't fit in the back of my truck! and Paul hasn't put carpet in the back yet either so paranoid it would get dirty anyway but regardless its too tall and bulky to close the shutter (got a mitzsubishi warrior) which means I 've had to squish it on to the back seat which when we are all in the car will be hard! I think I'll have to put corey right next to the baby in the middle. grrrr not happy, hope it folds smaller when its just a pushchair but don't want to rush my little poppet out of the newborn carrycot phase! x
