May & June 2022 Munchkins

Hospital appointment went really well !

The specialist said he’s 110% got a milk allergy and she cannot believe how much messing around I’ve had off the GP . He’s being kept on the Neocate and she’s sent a urgent fax to my GP advising them .

She was so reassuring and said I shouldn’t have any more issues with the GP but if I do to contact her .

It’s such a relief ! Onwards and upwards !

Great you have a definite answer but frustrating you've had so much hassle to get sorted xx

I know it’s more annoying because he’s suffered for the last 8 weeks !

Got my post natal check up tomorrow and his needles .

How was everyone else’s bubs after their needles ?

 

[Sander]

Can’t believe you had to fight so hard for that formula BabyBump!! Glad it’s all sorted now xx

We are doing ok, going on day 10 of another cold - Charlotte got bronchiolitis from it She’s improving but I’m struggling because mine turned into a bad sinus infection as well - just one thing after another. I’ve just been pushing through it - I took Charlotte to the doctor about it last week and he said none of us are contagious but it’s just going to take time for the cough/gross feeling to go away. So I’ve been taking DayQuil and trying to carry on with the summer activities for the boys.

Can’t believe Charlotte is 2 months old already, I’m 2 days and counting late for taking her monthly picture, lol

this is brilliant love. I’m so glad you finally have someone on your side.

@MrsT116

oh it’s so hard on the littles this heat.
U must be in the Uk hon. Are you from the south? It’s gonna be 35c I’m so not looking forward to that. I really don’t like summer anymore. It just gets too hot and there’s no where to escape it.
I love the Autumn time tho so pretty.

oh look at her. She is so so cute. I’m so sorry you have all been poorly. Praying for a speedy recovery.

 

[crazy4baby09]

Oh I felt I had too . I’m not usually the type but when it comes to my babies grrr !
I hope it’s not happened to anyone else either !

Had such a awful week last week . He started on Nutramigen which made him 110% worse to the point we were back at the GP who refused to prescribe a completely diary free formula . It wasn’t my usual GP either . Kept saying it was just reflux … reflux causing a rash and upset stomach plus various other issues. Then tried to imply I was over feeding him when he’s fed on demand! I was furious so stood my ground and after a stern conversation he eventually and reluctantly prescribed 1 tub of Neocate . I wasn’t coming away without that formula . It shouldn’t have to be so hard .

I’m glad I did because he’s so much happier now , his reflux , stomach and there’s no more rash ! We have the hospital tomorrow and I am hoping they confirm it’s CMPA so I won’t have any further issues with my GP.

How is everyone else and the little babies doing ??!!

I don't understand why your GP was making it so hard to get the formula that you need. I am so glad that your little one is doing better with the new formula.
Afm we are doing well for the most part, she is growing well and eating 4 oz every 2-3 hours. I had to reschedule her 2 month checkup because our whole family came down sick over the weekend. I'm assuming it was/is COVID. My family, my sister, and my brother were/are sick at the same time with the same symptoms. My sister went to get tested and came back positive. My family and my brother were with her almost everyday for 3 weeks helping her get packed up and move so it makes sense. Our little one had some nasal issues, a cough and just wanted held through the night. My other 2 girls just have nasal issues and a cough. My son had a fever and vomited, he was fine after about 24 hours. Thankfully it seems like we are on the tail end of it. I still cough a little and shortness of breath going up stairs but not too bad. I am still pretty tired, but definitely better than over the weekend!

Gayle is doing great. She has a check up next week. She is 3 weeks old today. Anyone have any suggestions on getting baby to burp? I have a hard time with it sometimes and because of it she’s been spitting ups lot.

I usually put my baby up against my shoulder and instead of patting her back I rub from lower back to the top of the back. If that does not work I sit her on my lap and hold under her arms and slowly twist her torso back and forth gently. It usually works.

Yoshi - I used to lay my kids over my knee and pat their back - they’d always burp/spit up a ton, lol.

Everyone’s babies look wonderful!

 

[Babybump87]

It’s baking here in the U.K. . Not that I am complaining be raining by the end of the week haha . It’s the little ones and the elderly !

Baby is doing amazing on the new formula . Had our check up last week he’s putting on weight and everything else is good! Was ok after his needles too slight spike in temp .

All these babies are just too cute ! So glad everyone is ok !
@crazy4baby09 oh gosh it’s so scary when the whole house comes down with something . That’s surely been covid the symptoms are all too similar especially if your sister tested . Glad everyone is on the road to recovery !

 

[Babybump87]

@YoshiPikachu over the shoulder always works for me !

 

[Babybump87]

Finally got my first AF !

No wonder I’ve felt super emotional and anxious . I hope the anxiety passes because I’ve suffered with PND and PNA in the past ..

How did you all feel with the first AF if you’ve had one ?!

@Babybump87 it reached 40c here in Wiltshire my gosh I thought I was going to die. It’s apparently gonna get that hot again in august. I really hope not I hate the heat so much.

Oh wow that’s crazy !

I love the summer and the weather but my gosh not that hot ! It was too hot to even open the door , we kept the boys in was much cooler inside , DDs went to school but thankfully had air conditioning !

Yep we had all the windows and curtains shut all day. I hate the heat so much. I love the autumn that’s my fave time of year.
I really wanted a winter due date but looks like that won’t be happening now. I wanted to avoid a summer due date but it’s getting toward that now. I would hold of ttc just to avoid that summer due date but I know at 42 I can’t take that risk so will just keep trying.

Oh gosh I’ve been lucky enough to avoid the hot weather ! That would be intense !
Hopefully you will get your BFP soon !!

thanks love. I hope I do too and I hope it will be sticky and healthy and be a take home rainbow. I’m so so scared of having more miscarriages

We finally had Maryann's 2 month checkup this morning. She now weighs 12lbs 15oz, her height is in the 98th percentile. She got her shots today as well. How is everyone's little ones doing? Over the last week Maryann has been fussing some with her bottle and not always finishing it. She has been a little more fussy in general as well. She won't nap unless she is cuddled to sleep. She has been cooing and giggles and is so sweet. I cannot believe that she will be 3 months nexts week!

Glad your both doing well !! Those fussy stages drive me crazy just when we think we have cracked something .. bang !

The weeks are truly flying by

 

[Babybump87]

For those that might be formula feeding what’s your “schedule” like ?

J is now 11 weeks on Monday and has been eating 35 oz in a 24 hr period 7 bottles.

Midnight 5oz
4am 5oz
8am 5oz
midday 5 oz
4pm 5oz
8pm 5oz
midnight 5oz

My others slept right through from 8 weeks which I thought he would be dropping at least the 4am bottle ?
