Sharn, I hope kaylee stays well... It's so hard, isn't it, worrying about what they may have been exposed to and hoping they stay well!
 
thanks kte & sharn :D

Sharn your little girl is gorgeous! I love your avatar pic <3
A person with hand, foot and mouth disease is highly contagious until about a week after the symptoms begin. The infection can be spread if:
an infected person coughs or sneezes; contaminated droplets can either be inhaled by another person or can contaminate surfaces, leading to the spread of infection when someone touches the surface before touching their mouth or nose
an infected person doesn't wash their hands properly after going to the toilet and then contaminates surfaces or food (the viruses can live for up to four weeks in a person’s stools)
you come into contact with the fluids of an infected person’s blisters or saliva

From that i should hope that Kaylee will be ok hun :D


Iv just had Ethans injections done,,.. i felt SO mean. Lady said i have to watch his temperature very closely since hes not long had a fever just incase it creeps back up again. x
 
Hayden just slept through for just shy of 9 hours!!!! I got 7 :happydance: Amazing!!! Such a fantastic milestone :yipee: I'm thrilled!!

Sorry had to share but haven't had time to catch up on your posts. Hope everyone is well!
:hug:
 
Seths - If you have the right carrier / sling, carrying isn't bad for your back at all. The ones that will cause you problems are the ones that put all the pressure on your back. I have an Ergo and all the weight is carried on your hips, much better for you, I could carry my 4 year old in it with no probs.

Without wanting to jinx myself, Ella is starting to get into a nighttime routine, she crams the feeds in in the evening then last night she went down around 11.30 and slept through until 6, then DH gave her a soother and she went on until 7.30. Am so desperate for it to not be a one off!
 
Hayden is asleep on the Boppy on my lap as I'm too afraid to move her thinking she'll wake up! Usually my hubby moves her to her bassinet and I'd be getting some more sleep but he's on a conference call :dohh: At least I get to catch up here!!!!

Welcome AmyT and Jen! :hi:*

Sethsmummy - I'm so glad Ethan is feeling better! It's so stressful when they're sick. The carrier I was using definitely hurt after a while but largely because I didn't tie it tight enough. She was crying while I was tying it on and so I tried to rush it :dohh: But it doesn't have the back support of an Ergo in any case, which I plan to use when she gets heavier. And did Ethan have a chat with Hayden about sleeping through the night??? I think he did :winkwink: Hope he doesn't have trouble with the jabs...

Sharn - oh my gosh! Who takes their kid out when they might still be contagious!!!! I'm so sorry to hear :hugs: I hope that Kaylee hasn't caught anything!!!

Krafty - Hayden did the cluster feeding when she started doing 5-6 hour stretches too. So it's a great sign!!!!

OK she's stirring lots so I best go...

Sophie cluster fed the last few nights but last night she didn't and as I was working away I realised she had slept far too long - oh what a rough night. Her last feed was 10 and she woke at 2, so not too bad, then she woke at 4, 5, 6 and then 7. To be fair, she was sick on OH at 7.30 :)haha: - that is was on OH!) so was obv not feeling well, it was mucousy so think it's from bogies that have got into her tummy.

Sharn: Hopefully Kaylee hasn't caught it :flower:

Hurray for all those babies sleeping!!
 
Kte - Hayden had spit up with mucous/drool in it too and I figured it was a combination of all her congestion as well as all the drool that's new to her system. Gross!!!! :sick:

So she only went down for 45 min after the 9 hours and feed so we all got up. Then, she got a bit fussy after about an hour and fell asleep in DH's arms so he put her down in the mamaRoo and she slept for another 30 minutes. When she woke, I fed her and she fell asleep on me; however, I pre-tied the Moby on myself so I was able to slip her in and now she's sleeping on me again! She'll be well rested for our family photo shoot this afternoon :happydance:

Unless of course that whole sleep promotes sleep thing is true and she's just going to be sleepy all day! :dohh: I'll be pretty bummed...DH just went to the township where she was born to pick up her birth certificate so we're ready for our flight to Texas in 2 weeks! Our first family trip :yipee: Can't wait! Sure hope it goes well so we can go to Europe this summer...ok I'm rambling, going to pay some bills :thumbup:
 
Aahhhhh so the wonderful 9 hour stretch has but me in the toosh - I either have a plugged milk duct or mastitis!!!! My boob is all lumpy and it hurts like crazy when she feeds :cry: Just my luck! It started to hurt when she fed this afternoon and I couldn't figure out why...well, now I know!!

I know I was so angry when she comes out and tells me about that her bub had the disease so recent and Especially when there's a newborn at risk :(
If I had known about it, I wouldn't have let them come over for a visit at this time.
Kaylee is fine today.
Still keeping an eye out for temps and off symptoms (however, she is sneezing more than usual)
 
Mrschezek I hope your bbs feel better soon

I had 1 sore bb couple if weeks ago. It hurt every time she suckled. Hurt for a day or so and I didn't know why either
 
Thx Sharn!
I'm waking up every 1.5 hours to apply a hot compress for 15 min and then pump the breast empty...I sure hope it unclogs soon! Boy it hurts...
 
Ooh I had some blocked ducts the other week, gosh try hurt don't they! Never had them with my others. I found massage helped massively - both whilst feeding and in the shower. I put something warm on it whilst feeding then massaged at the same time, really helped.

Holly slept well last night, only woke up once at 3am then went back off until after 6 which is when our others get up anyway so very happy with that! Very rare that all 3 of our girls sleep well so we are happy this morning!
 
Mrs C I hope your feeling less sore soon, I have also heard that massage helps.
 
Thanks girls! I've been massaging while pumping indeed; I think it's getting better but I'm not sure :shrug: The whole boob is softer but there are still lumps in it, just not as rock hard. I'm assuming it's progress but I sure wish it would just all drain!! Of course, as usual for me since the start of pregnancy, the issue arose on Friday evening so I can't go see my doc and if I want to see anyone I have to go to the ER! :nope: That's so annoying!! :cry: I might call the lactation nurses in the morning and maybe ls leche league if I font hear back.

I can't believe I am paying for her sleeping through the night!!! She's already been sleeping 7.5 hours tonight! Wonder if it will be another 9 hour stretch...not that I'll be able to cash in on it as I'm totally upping my production with all this pumping so I'll be getting up to pump until eternity!!!
 
Mrs c hope the BBs are feeling better! It sucks that you are paying for a good night. I think I had a clogged duct yesterday as my boob felt bruised and tender but with a lot of massage I think it's now unblocked. They get blocked so easily!

We are off to the beach today :woo:
Our first family day trip!!
