Aw tht sounds nice Hun... U kno I'm not sure how long for cos we had him last wk for an overnight and he was great with Leo so maybe just a few more weeks..x

 

[MrsDuck]

Oh that's good news that's your 2 babies get on ok xxx

 

[MrsDuck]

Is Leo still like clockwork with his crying in the evening? x

 

[CherylC3]

Yeah well he has been better last night and tonight but its his colic tht is the problem at night x

Hey ladies how are you all today?

Mrs d are you knackered still from all that work? Hope you can manage to rest a bit at some point today!

Cheryl how long have you used the Infacol for? I have found it really works but only after a few days. Emilia still has a bad evening every now and again but most nights she's just a bit cranky and grumpy in the evening rather than intensely crying for hours!!

As for us, well Emilia has an umbilical hernia, I'll have to take a pic to show you next time I change her, but it's basically her intestines bulging at her belly button where there's a hole in her stomach muscles at the point where the umbilical cord attached. It's not a huge problem but she might need a small surgery when she's older if it doesn't manage to fix itself. It doesn't seem to bother her but it looks freaky when she strains or cries coz it bulges further lol!!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw poor Millie xx

How come they aren't doing a little op now, or is there the chance it will close on its own? x

 

[baileybubs]

There's a good chance it will close on its own once she starts moving around more and crawling, plus I think as its not harmful they don't want to do anything whilst she's so young. The doctor has actually said that because its bigger that's a good thing because there's less chance of it getting stuck and blocked. But that also means there's more chance of it not being able to get pushed back in by itself.

 

[MrsDuck]

Fingers crossed it sorts itself out xx

Bailey, Emily had a small umbilical hernia as well. Her's stayed out pretty much all the time but went out further when she was upset/crying. We were told the same, that its not an issue and they often take care of themselves.... Just to watch for signs of it being stuck out. Her's has actually already started to go in on its own... It is barely there now and mostly looks "normal!" We didn't expect it to repair itself this early, but it is certainly doing so! It got worse a bit after her cord fell off and then started to get better a few weeks ago when she started to be sat/stood up (she, obviously, isn't sitting or standing on her own yet) more and wiggling around more.

Hopefully Millie's will do,the same!

 

[MrsDuck]

By the sounds of it it's quite common, hopefully neither Emily or Millie will need an op xx

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah the health visitor said they are quite common. Hoping it will go back in itself but if is quite big so we'll just have to see. I have to say I was impressed with myself for not panicking too much about it, I thought I'd be one of those mums that worried excessively about every little thing but I didn't let this panc me, despite it being so big lol! It only developed over the last week or so.

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw poor little Millie and Emily, is it more likely in girls than boys did your mw say? Is it quite noticeable then? It must have been a bit of a shock to see when you changed her. Hopefully Millie's will close soon like Emily's xxx

I'm glad this week is over, I've only had a 3 day week but this week has gone sooo slowly and we are really quiet at work so the days drag, but hey it's the weeeeeeekend now yay

 

[CherylC3]

Hey ladies poor wee Emily and Millie..x

Well Leo was back at the drs was bringing up all his bottles from yest.. So he's got gaviscon to go in his bottles.. Plus we hav bought dr brown anti colic bottles to see if they help.. They look a nightmare to use right enuf.x

 

[AmyB1978]

Cheryl, I've used dr browns with a baby I used to watch... Cleaning them is the pain, just cause of all the extra parts, it assembling them is easy once you've done it a few times. They can really help though, hopefully it works for wee Leo! Hopefully the gaviscon also helps!

Emily's hernia was really noticeable ( and also showed up a bit after she was home from the NICU) if I get a chance to go in my computer I will post photos of it when it was popped out and from now. They are more common in babies tat are early, not sure about in girls?

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw Cheryl I hope the new bottles help xx

 

[CherylC3]

Aw thanks they seem a nightmare to put together il end up using the tommee tippee ones again for convenience lol.. Well hubby's working tomoro early shift so we hav decided when he's early he will sleep on the air bed with a sleeping bag in the spare room so it's horrible not getting a cuddle

 

[baileybubs]

Lol, cheryl my df cvan just manage to sleep through any noise me and Millie make during the night, he's such a heavy sleeper!!

How was Leo last night? Millie was a bit cranky and the only way she seems to calm is falling asleep on me, which I dont mind but I dont want her to get into a habit of the only way she'll fall asleep is on me or else we'll have a problem when she's older and we are trying to get her into a routine and in her own room.

Here's a pic of her hernia
