Awww MJ I had a quick read, sorry you've got a fussy little fella... I'd guess it must be wind or constipation, you could try Bun's gentle relief method with a tiny bit of warm water and a syringe-type thingy if you're brave enough!!
Just wanted to say that Vince was absolutely fine with his jabs. Seriously, he cried for just about 20 seconds, then had a hug with momma and was all better! As long as you stay calm and upbeat through it, I'm sure Adam will be great
We give Vince Calpol occasionally now if nothing else is working to calm him, but it's pretty rare in the past week or so 
But don't feel bad, it's very gentle stuff, and if it helps him a bit then it's worth it
OK, eyes drooping, really off to bed now!!!

Thanks Shadow. Actually he goes anywhere from 5 to 7 hours so we are quite pleased! I take the 2am feed and I usually wake OH to do the 6am. I wonder if I will be stuck doing the 2am feed all the time when I go back to work as I know we will have to get up a little earlier to get all of us ready to leave...

Well I have a snoozly baby today (probably wore herself out screaming in her car seat last night) so time for a quick post! Thanks for all the good wishes for my Dad, he's not poorly exactly, he broke his hip a couple of years ago and they replaced it but they screwed it up completely and so they had to take the implant out. Sadly, he can't have another one thanks to the loose implant screwing up his bones so he now has no hip. It will create a kind of fake hip itself, but he'll have one leg shorter than the other (already does, so no big deal) and won't be able to walk very far. He hasn't been able to walk very far since he broke his hip, so anything is an improvement really. It's all complicated by his Parkinsons (early-onset, think Michael J Fox) and the fact that most hospital staff aren't that familiar with it but like to pretend that they are and muck up his medication etc, so it's a bit stressful for my Mum and the hospital he's currently in is MILES away from her, so we're hoping that they'll move him soon.
Imogen has been a grizzly little so and so the last couple of days, which is only mitigated by that fact she's so tired when she goes to bed, she sleeps through to seven am. She'll be eight weeks next week and I'm not sure if I'm expected to make her an appointment for her jabs or just go into a baby clinic or what. I don't especially want my health visitor to come round again, but I do feel a little abandoned. Imagine if I was a more clueless kind of person, Imogen would probably miss all her vaccs because I didn't know what to do.
Looks like moving is happening soon! I'm excited but want to start packing NOW or it's never going to be done. Wil have to be brutal and throw loads of stuff away. I've already made up an Oxfam bag of maternity wear I don't want to use again next time, clothes that don't fit Imogen that I don't want to keep for next time and stuff we were given that I HATE. Next stop - the wardrobe of doom....

Thinking about everyone and keeping little ones in my thoughts.
Sorry I haven't been able to post as of late but things have been more busy since Monday. Hubby had to go on a business trip and won't be back till Saturday. So, it's just Christian and me and he has a cold (poor thing). Monday night was a rough go and got only a couple hours sleep. Last night was much better but I think that was also due to the humidifier in the room.
As for the little tyke, he hates being swaddled and put into his car seat (doesn't like to be restricted I guess) but once the car starts moving, he's out like a light.
Any suggestions about the following issue? When putting him down, he fusses a little but when I give him his dummy, he quiets right down. Only problem is, he spits it out and then wants it back. I've tried to prop it up with a little toy that he has but still no dice.

thanks shadow... I was pretty sure Adam didn't have constipation, he just makes a bit of a song and dance about a lot of things! so I wasn't about to stick anything up his arse... but I do know of another old-wives' remedy, which might not be so old-wifely... I am sure I heard that my sil was advised to put a teeny sliver of soap up my nephew's arse when he really was constipated (she was also advised to give him molasses by mouth, I think). I guess it would act as a suppository, irritate it sufficiently for them to force it out... eeeek.
anyway, he fussed last night, then he and I had a bath and he was ok, then he screamed when he came out in the cold, but after his nightly bottle he settled and slept 7.5 hours then this morning, he was fine from 7.15am, all smiles and giggles and happy feeding with mummy in bed and then suddenly - bam - a loud, sharp scream and then real tears (they always break my heart) and a return to the fussiness. 
I had an appointment with my psychiatrist at 12.30 and she said it was fine for me to bring AE so I made sure to feed him first and we got there and after a minute of a fuss he fell asleep. the room was very warm, I was almost dropping off myself. so that went well. and then we had to stroll round to the baby clinic (Aunty E, I didn't know anything about this either, but when I went for my 8-week check last week the doc said he could have his jabs on Wednesday. so I presumed from that there was a clinic. asked the HV, who didn't know, then called the surgery and yes, it's a drop-in).
the jabs were fine. the nurse advised me to give him Calpol after and next time to give it before. I had it with me though so she said to give him it as she was preparing the syringes. so he had the first and cried a little, then the other and, after a second of stunned silence, screamed the place down. poor baby! but I was ok, as it was the same scream as I've been hearing the past couple of days, once he gets going. I gave him big cuddles and the nurse said not to rush off, to sit in the waiting room a while (I guess to make sure if he had an allergic reaction he was close to medical help) and as soon as I got the boob out he was fine. phew!
AND, when we got home and I went into the nappy, there was a poo! no idea when he did it, it was well soaked into the liner! maybe after the jabs. heheheh.
it's OH and my's anniversary (of when we met, since we aren't hitched) today and we agreed no cards or anything but he broke that and bought me a card, so I bought him some truffles and they are sitting looking at me and I am SOOOOOOOO hungry... trying so hard to cut down on chocolate but it's so tough. everything else and I have an iron will. but am still on 2 Wispas a day on a bad day. have already had 2 Milky Ways...

Hi girls
Thanks for all the lovely messages and especially Shadow for explaining things a little better, just goes to show if you were fine with a hole in your heart with no treatment until you were 18. I'm sure with the docs looking after her Natasha will be fine and hopefully it is still only an innocent murmer - Thanks a million I feel much better now.
Well Ive had a busy day arranging Natashas christening - so we have it booked for the 21st November and I think I more or less have everything done now.
Elly: Hope Christians cold is better soon and you and all goes well until hubby comes back. Can't help with the dummy i'm afraid - Natasha does that sometimes too during the day but it is far easier to keep putting it back in during the day than during the night - If I find anything that works I will let you know.
AuntyE: Good luck with the clear out - a job I hate doing - mind you it always feels so nice when its done. Hope the move goes well.
Overcomer: You are doing a great job so ignore what others say - I know its hard though, my mum has a habit of passing comments about things I do and it drives me mad.
Mollyapple: I know what you mean about the swing we have one too and it dont turn it on anymore as it goes so fast down on the 1 setting - I reckon she would be catipulted out of it if I put it up to 5 lol. Hope you get the electrics and the sling back soon.
MJ: Hope Adams jabs go well tomorrow - Natasha has hers next Friday.
Shadow: Hope you get your pain meds sorted.
Well I may run as the dinner is ready. Talk to you all soon. Xx

oooh, jelr, am quite envious of you planning a christening - I really want Adam to be christened and this coming weekend would have been the perfect time as my family will all be together for my parents' ruby wedding anniversary, but OH's mum has gone to India for 3 weeks and we didn't feel we could go ahead without her. thing is, our family christening robe, which members of my mum's family, including my grandad, uncle, mum, brother, nephew, niece and myself, as well as loads of cousins, all wore, will only fit him up to the age of about 4 months. so if we plan it for next year he'll likely be too big. I am going to put him in it this weekend and get a photo anyway, even though it's not quite the same!
glad you're feeling better about Natasha.

Hey girls, just a quick message from me I'm afraid: I've decided I need to take a bit of a step back from these forums for a while, it's not doing me much good sitting glued to my computer so much, and I really need to focus on my health for a while... But the front page is now finished and everyone has been invited, so anyone who accepts an invitation after today will have to just jump in and start chatting if I'm not about
I'll miss you guys, but I'll be thinking of you all and will try to pop back on every now and then still. I just can't sit on the computer for so long each day
Sorry guys, like I said I'll miss you
Eeek, Vince screaming!
Chat soon,
Shadow xxx

Hey Ladies,
Goodness it's been a while since I have posted in here but I just hate typing long posts with one hand. Well the good news is I am typing this with two
I have managed to establish a routine for Sam which is bath, boob and bed starting at 8pm and he is asleep by about 8:45 which means I get dinner with husband two handed, a bed on my own and about 4 1/2 hours of unbroken sleep before he wakes at 2am for a feed. Not so good after that as he wakes every hour to 2 hours but it's a step forward being in his own bed. We did two nights of cry down, more whimper down, and since then fine with only two nights where I have to go up and top up his boob fixation and then he goes down 
I feel I have urned a corner. I say I as I do most of the baby work, DH adores him but does sod all 
am I the only one????
Shadow hon sorry you are taking a step back but I do understand, hope the change helps you honey.
MJ hope you get to organise your christening soon
Aunty E my HV only came once and it's a drop in clinic every tuesday at the doctors. They sent me a vaccine reminder with a date and time for me to go but it is the drop in system again. I'm dreading it as it's next week.
How are all your lo growing, I have a little porker I think, 7 weeks and 12lb 5oz, 5.6kg he's gone from the 60th centile to the 75th
I can't believe I am actually drinking some wine now as I know he'll be asleep for a while, I feel like a bit of the old me is back. Anyone else feel the same. I mean I love having him but didn't realise how much my life has changed until you start doing some of the old things again. We had a whole day out today without me worrying about bfeeding and it felt so good. he did 4 hours in the car (split into 4 journeys) but didn't cry once. I feel excited about what we can do now without the worry, it's great.
I'm sorry I haven't replied to everyone but it's been a while and haven't read through. Now I get an afternoon nap out of him and an evening I hope to chat more in here.
Love to you all

awww, Pips, good to hear YOU'VE turned a corner, not good that it's just yours and Sam's corner! but it is good and I know what you mean, gradually over the last few weeks I've started to feel pretty well on top of things. even looking after Adam all alone for 52 hours a week (as Chris is out from 7.50am-6.10pm M-F) isn't a problem. even when Adam is a bit of a bugger! it's weird though, I *don't* feel different to usual, except different happier, which is great, I feel like I am busy, which is wonderful, I don't have time to think about myself/unimportant things; Adam is a fantastic addition to my life but I'm still ME, maybe a better me. I was talking to my psychiatrist this afternoon and told her it had occured to me that what is so nice is that because I have stuff to do ALL THE TIME and have to snatch "me" time when I can, I appreciate it so much, and also, having Adam here all the time and talking to him, which I do, I just chat away and tell him things, it stops me from "going in my head", which used to happen a lot... I used to work only 2-3 days a week and spent so much of the rest of the time alone, didn't go out much, didn't talk to people on the phone much. now, just talking out loud seems to keep me sane. and I talk to my mum most days now as well. so I feel like life has improved a lot since Adam came along.
Chris is great, though, he does a lot of the taking care of Adam when he is here, changes his nappy and feeds him, gives him a bath, and he puts him to bed every night. so I usually use the evenings running around doing laundry-related things and cooking, popping to the shops if I haven't had a chance to get out, even little things like that help keep me balanced I think, so it's not 100% Adam. a 10-minute walk to the shops by myself is all I really need.

Well, is anyones LO teething????
I truly believe James is...and I can't get give him anything to help with pain. I guess he doesn't complain a lot really. If he is in his crib then he does (only during the day). I pick him up, he "chews" on his hands and then goes to sleep. I know he can't be hungry...call it a mother's instinct. Of course my MIL (know it all...one child)...says "he's too young". My brother started teething at six weeks old so I do think he is. Anyway, thoughts and comments would be great!

Hrm. I don't know if alot of the teething things out there would work with our little ones here or not since their mouths are still pretty small! I know that one store over here sells something called 'Sophie the Giraffe' which is a toy but it's really soft and non-toxic. Apparently young kids like to gnaw on it (saw one kid this past weekend who was doing that). Maybe they have the same sort of toy over there? Here's a link to what I'm talking about:
https://www.toysrus.ca/product/inde...e&parentPage=search&f=Taxonomy/TRUSCA/2567270
Christian tries to eat his fist but I think it's just him of exploring things through the mouth, not necessarily teething.

Overcomer- sounds to me like ur LO is teething, they can teethe from n e age!!! Some babies are born with teeth. My doctor told me when b was 8 weeks that he was fine to have calpol as he was a good weight (15lb) and a healthy boy. But obviously this is something u will need to ask your gp.( my gp I've had for 24 years and he recognised I had menegitus at 3 weeks old) so I have alot of trust in him. B is also shoving his hands in his mouth!!! Has the odd screaming fit but is being very good tbh. Hope this helps!!!

Excellent info Molly! As a co-sleeping, breastfeeding mommy it is reassuring to see that I am doing the right things to ensure Emma is safe.

I have a kind of random question. What counts as a baby rolling over? Emma will lay on her stomach, lift her head super high and than tip over onto her back. Does this count? She does it and than giggles like it's hilarious. I dont' know what counts as "rolling" though. 
Does it have to be a complete 360 degree turn to count as a roll? She doesn't flip from her back to her stomach though. Well she never stays on her back at all, always rolls to her side. But anyways. I try to do tummy time with her and now she just keeps doing the whole 'throwing herself onto her back' thing.
So I've been getting broody about wanting another one already. LOL. Obviously I have to wait after having the c-section but if I didn't have that c-section I would definately be trying for another right now. hehe.
I just love being a mommy so much I can't wait to add to our family some more. I'm thinking 4 kids total.

tmr - sooo jealous about lucas sleeping through! Archies colic seems to have gone but his a bad sleeper still.
bun-in-the-oven - sorry you had same trouble with inlaws on the birth day like i did. What is it with in laws?? It's like they have no respect for you though your the one thats give them their grand child, they just see you as the "carrier" and couldnt give a toss once the baby is here! You sound relieved about the
now so would i be cant imagine ever having another 
! I dont have any tips for sleeping through sadly as archie barely sleeps 3 hours at a time!
jelr - sorry to hear about your little ones murmer but if shes thriving and well i reckon she'll be fine! Sending my love to both of you
Just saw your new post to - hope the christening goes well hun!
overcomer - yep archie hates being swaddled to so seems like theres a few of our los that hate it!! Archie kicks and kicks even when his calm so he breaks out of a swaddle LOL or gets annoyed and cries! Know how you feel about the parenting thing being questioned... i have people that do that mainly the in laws and its so annoying. I plan to put archie in his own room once wemove and he'll only be 2 months old so your not the only one.
mollyapple - glad you and the lo are over your colds!
MJ - i always use a teaspoon of oj in cooled boiled water (about an oz) when archie gets fussy and whiney and hasnt pooed for a while and it always does the trick. He turns from a whiney little moo to happy archie again in mins! You might want to ask your GP but it was my gp that suggested it to me and it works a treat! If he carries on with the wind the only thing that worked for me was colief but others swear by dentinox and infacol so its hit and miss really.
elly75 - hope christians cold has gone! The dummy thing...have no tips really am afraid. If archie sleeps looking up it seems to stay in but thats rare he usully tips his head to the side and out it pops and he fusses so been trying to wean him off sleeping with the dummy. Could you do that? Maybe sing to him till he sleeps rather than use the dummy? I seem to sing bohemian rhapsody for some odd reason and archie loves it lol.
shadow - hope your ok hun, will miss you posting on here
pippin - ohh sam is growing wellisnt he?? I seen his pics onfb, his soo gorgeous!! I know how you feel about missing the old life. I love archie to bits but when i have some escape time, even an hour, it feels lovely.
cleck - i think that is classed as a "roll" anyone else with me on that or am i wrong?? As for trying again...no way lol. The birth is still in my mind which was horrific so at the moment its a big no no im getting the coil asap!!
Me: In law thing has improved, the old bag said sorry though it was rather reluctantly and i had comments like, "i'm not grovelling or anything but.." and "i'm apolgizing for upsetting you but i dont think i did wrong" so whatever. We dont have 2 be best friends (thank god) she still annoys me. She keeps bugging me about pushing archie in his pram, for christ sake his 6 weeks old i barely have pushed him as i spent a good 2 - 3 weeks indoors due to a bad birth!! Can't she just be happy coming over, cooingand cuddling with him like everyone else? Sick of it tbh and everytime she finds out someone has baby sat she gets the arse holes and gets jealous!
Archie is OK though. COlic is alot better, he struggles with his poos big time even tho they are always runny but doc said an ounce of water with teaspoon of oj once a day is fine, he did it with his own kids and said it really helped and it soo has! An hour or 2 later archie does a tiny strain an out it comes and his cooing and smiling again! He doesn't sleep through the night sadly and his sleeping patterns are still way out but his a happier baby now.
That was a long post hope you are all ok xxx
bun-in-the-oven - sorry you had same trouble with inlaws on the birth day like i did. What is it with in laws?? It's like they have no respect for you though your the one thats give them their grand child, they just see you as the "carrier" and couldnt give a toss once the baby is here! You sound relieved about the
