It's cow & gate creamy porridge and I was shocked to read on the ingredients list it is 50% powdered milk!! I spoke to a dr on the phone today and without even seeing him she said 'sounds like he's lactose intolerant - give him soya products instead and try goats milk. I read about it on the Internet and I think she may be wrong. He has none of the other symptoms except being sick. I'm hoping that it was just too much for his tummy for now, will stick to fruit and veg for a while then try it again in a few weeks.

I have a very grumpy boy today. He is really suffering with his teeth :(

We had a big thunder storm in the night too! Our windows are open all night so it woke me up. Luckily Alfie slept through it! He stil woke up lots during the night though
 
I went to my mommy group this morning but after getting there and reaching in for her to take her out of her car seat, I saw THE biggest pooptastrophy ever!!! It was epic :cry: Took my 40 minutes of wiping to get things to a state where I could feed her cause she was screaming for milk and then get her back in to go back home. Total disaster :dohh:

Do you guys get a lot of diaper blow outs? She leaks 2-3 times a week. It's awful! We tried bigger sizes and it doesn't seem to matter...and 75% of the time it's in the car seat somewhere out where I have to deal with the clean up in some public restroom and my car! :cry: Any advice??

Oh no! Why do these things always happen when your out?
Have you tried a flushable liner? We use reusable nappies that are one size fits all and have a flushable liner which seems to catch the poo!
 
Rose - my daughter is lactose/ dairy/ soya intollerant. Alfie doesnt sound like a typical case. Id do wat you said stick to fruit n veg for a bit longer. It may have been a bit rich for his tummy. Next time maybe add it gradually into his diet ie mix a tiny bit into fruit n slowly add more porridge less fruit? Does that make sense? Am writing whilst feeding Willam.

AFM - well william is now fully weaned on 3 meals a day. He is weighing in at a whopping 18lb15 today! Hes mostly sleeps through the night n is generally a very happy boy! ( is lovely as my daughter was a baby whod scream all day n night) out health visitor is referring us to physio as williams head always leans to his right side so he needs seeing. Hope its nothing to worry about :s
 
Oh no mrs c!! Alfie always blows out in his carseat too. Must be the sitting position putting pressure on their tummies! His poos in his carrier are pretty horrific too
 
Thanks Anna that's really helpful and very reassuring :) I will try that!
 
anna - great to hear william is doing so well! Hope the leaning thing is nothing to worry about indeed.

rose - aren't the car seat blowouts the worst??? The last one before this one was at the Audi dealership when we were trying to buy my car :dohh: I mean seriously, does she hold it and poo at the least optimal time on purpose :haha:
 
Anna, with the head thing hopefully it's just a preference thing and the physio should sort it out! Alfie has a preferred side to lean his head when he's asleep and he also rolls better one way than the other, doesn't seem to bother him at all though :)

Mrs c that's very bad timing! Mind you at least she was in a car seat and not sitting directly on the seats of the car :haha:
 
Rose- the ones that say add water do have milk in them... You can get ones that say add breast milk or formula.
 
Thanks skeet - I am going to get that one next time. The baby rice I have is add baby's milk and he's fine with that. I'm going to stick to fruit and veggies for a few more weeks then gradually reintroduce as Anna has suggested!

Alfie has a cold :( he's caught it from me, he's so blocked up but screams when I try to clear his nose with the sucker. He didn't want much milk yesterday but thankfully is gulping it down today!
 
Martha has had her first taste of baby rice today and loved it :happydance:

She is a constant feeder and I need a break lol. I was hoping to wait it out till 6 months but I guess she's ready for it.
 
Rose: Hope Alfie's cold goes soon, I'm am still battling with the bogies, Sophie hates it too. I sneekily get them when she is asleep mostly, she still wiggles her head about but there is less screaming and tears!

MrsC: Sounds like she times it perfectly for you! Sorry no advice, we have occasional explosions but not always in the car seat.

Anna: Hope William is okay and it's easily sorted :flower:

Sophie is now on bigger bottles, well I make her 6oz but she still only eats 5oz mostly and she is now in the travel cot, she sleeps in it really well, she was certainly ready for a bigger bed :thumbup:
 
Thanks kte! That's a good idea - I will need a steady hand though so I don't wake him haha. That wouldn't be good. Glad Sophie is doing well in her bigger cot!

Jen, all babies are different and if your gut feeling is that Martha is ready then I'm sure she is - mums know best! Are you going to start fruit and veg purees? Alfie is doing well with his and I love making them up :) I have an avent all in one steamer and blender it makes the perfect purees. My mum bought it for me and its easily the best piece of baby equipment I have!
 
rose- what kind of boogie thing are you using? I've actually been really lucky Carson has always had lots of boogies so I have to do him every day..he actually likes having it done..he laughs. I use the hydra sense spray and the nasal aspirator. I like it because it comes a part so I can clean the inside..plus you use your mouth to suck so its more controlled and it has a smaller tip then most of the other nasal aspirators i've seen

tonight we leave for a family trip to the cottage..I'm super excited as we have hardly been there this summer. it took 2 days of packing and 5 days of doing laundry every day so that i stay on top of it. I'm just hoping carson sleeps well there as none of the rooms are very dark
 
It's from mothercare, it also comes apart to clean but it's got a squishy ball which you push in and then when you release it, it sucks the bogey out. It is very gentle but the tip is quite large so Alfie knows its in there and he hates it! He doesn't like anything near his nose.

Hope you have a great break! I am sure Carson will be fine :) Alfie has adjusted to falling asleep in the light quite well now, the last 2 nights he has gone straight to sleep yay! Just need to cut back down on the night feeds now...
 
Thanks.. Carson has been self settling so well lately.. I'm afraid it's going to mess it up.. So far I've never had to do cry it out.. I just put him in his sleep sack.. Cuddle him for a couple seconds lay him down say good night and walk away and he goes to sleep.. The odd time if he gets over tired I have to help him fall asleep.

Lol I need to work on the night feedings too.. We are usually 1 or 2 feedings a night. The 1 feeding I can handle I don't like the 2 feedings.. I also have to work on the length of his naps.. Currently his first nap is 1.5 he's then he has 3 30-45 min naps. He wakes up happy so I shouldn't complain and he's in bed from 7-7 so I think he really is getting enough sleep..
 
I'm sure he is getting enough. Alfie has 2 30 min naps and a 1 hr nap normally. He sleeps from 8-8 with anything from 3 to 5 wake ups at the moment. One is at 10.30 which is good as I am just about to go to bed, then we normally have 2am, 5am and sometimes extra ones at 12.30 and 4 if its a bad night. He is always hungry when he wakes so I don't mind so much but it would be nice to get extra sleep!!
 
How is everyone? Hope you've all had a good weekend :)

Not much to report here, Alfie's still waking every 2-3 hrs at night and is napping well during the day. Praying for my nights back soon!!

Have been introducing a few new flavours, carrot and sweet potato, which he loves! He has also started liking apple a bit more as he wasn't too keen before :)
 
Rose our nights have got worse too. Last night she woke at 2am fed for 20 mins and went back down i'd just dropped off to sleep at 4.20 and she woke again and wouldn't go back down so ended up in bed with us. On the plus side she is now going to bed by 7.30pm.

She had a small try of pear today which she quite enjoyed so have made up some purees and popped them in the freezer.
 
It's my birthday today, it's not really been that enjoyable but I am trying to remain thankful for many wonderful things in my life. Shame Sophie is on a massive scream fest, prob teething, making my lone evening film un enjoyable. Still, wouldn't
T be without her!
