Oh and I'm not at all surprised by the juice. We didn't give Byron juice til he was probably near 2 years old (milk and water til then). We just dilute fresh fruit juice, 1/10. He doesn't have squash. Fruit juice is plenty sugary but better diluted and he gets some vits from it. Tbh we've never bought any baby foods at all except some of the organic snacks periodically for parties and the likes.

lol!

Side note: who is this baby and what has he done with my son? Alex fell asleep on my lap at about 7pm and I moved him to his cot at about 8:15 and he still hasn't woken up! I've probably just jinxed myself, but We decided to do his bath if he wakes up cause I need to wash his hair. He has cradle cap

I was going to ask how that was remembered when I was doing abbys?

Iv rearranged her room and shes watching her mobile light in the dark

Molly Abby is a little tinker moving off her mat!

Madly hope your ok! And I have never been told with either of mine about vit D and I live Yorkshire ish area but like pb said the formula has most in so maybe that's why I haven't been told! I haven't had the weaning appointment yet but then my HV are lazy lol!

Well I've been to my mums for tea as my OH has gone to watch football with his bosses and my sister was there I didn't mention anything neither did she, she didn't say sorry so I'm abit cheesed off with that but just want the peace!

Morning Ladies :wave:

I guess I was just surprised that the companies that make baby foods add so much sugar to baby products when its a baby no no My HV is coming again in 2wks (to redo the nutty test ) so I will bend her ear some more on the Vits because I think giving extra vitamins for 4.5yrs is a bit much considering Charlie will have plenty of exercise and a healthy diet as he grows

Meant to post a few weeks ago but I have found a fab cradle cap cure that works basically Charlie had it really bad and I tried baby oil/cradle cap shampoo and numerous other tricks but none worked until I read on a thread here to try my own conditioner now my conditioner isnt owt fab infact its Morrisons own equivalent to herbal essences and everytime I shower Charlie I wash his hair with it and you wouldnt believe how quick the cradle cap went

Today am off to my Mums as she has her hospital appointment review this aft we think surgery may be planned today

Good luck again vbaby, I will be thinking about you

Have a lovely day everyone

 

[molly85]

Surgery will be good get her all fixed up and while shes healing you can do her jobs lol

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Thank you Molly

I think she worries cause my sister is on mat leave

 

[molly85]

no worries you'll have it covered.

Abby woke twice in the night once at 1 am then again at 3am she had bleeding turned round in her cot thought i'd get away with her just in a sleeping bag but no she was upside down lol

 

[vbaby3]

Hi girls,thanks a million for all the thoughts and well wishes!!
Well I officially have a NORMAL brain!!!!
I can't even begin to describe how petrified I was,I was alrady crying in the waiting room before I even went in to see the doc!
He had a chat 1st about my tingling/numb symptoms.
Then he spoke about the diagnosis the guy who read my mri came up with,tuberous sclerosis.
He than had a look at my mri films and basically said,there is no sign whatsoever of ms,and there is a slight deviation in 1 bit,which was obviously what the other guy saw,but it is completely normal,iykwim!!
Alittle bit not normal,but still 100% normal.He said my brain is beautiful and absolutely squeaky clean!!
The diagnosis on the tingling/numbness is that it could be a different type of migraine some people get,without the headache bit,and also stress.He asked me what I did for relaxation and I told him I had 3 children under 5,relaxation does not come into the equation!
So I'm to take time out for me,maybe take up a new hobby,or just do things I used to enjoy but never have the time to do anymore.
I'm going to try my best to take his advice.

Can't tell you how relieved I am,I feel like I got my life back,this whole shit really ruined half the summer and a month of my gorgeous babies life,I'm sooooo happy now!!

 

[vbaby3]

As for baby juice etc,here I've never given it to them.
Even now I don't even buy diluting cordial.Its milk or water,neither of the boys has ever tasted fizzy pop!!
Dh does like fruit juice,so if they're having a bit of that I dilute it,coz its full of sugar.I prefer them get the vits from the fruit rather than the juice.
I will try give Teagan her vit d as recommended during the winter,if its anything like last yr we'll barely get out the door!!

 

[molly85]

Yay vbaby and your lovely brain.

I don'tknow if you have it there our leisure centre has a creche you could book them all in and go for a treatment or just the sauna. or a coffee no stress and they gert wornout lol

abby hit primark after covering us both in sick nice. We spent £17 on her got sale stuff to lol. We looked in H&M lovely stuff shame i didnt have enough cas and they didn't have exactlywhat i waslooking for

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Welp, we survived the vaccines. Alex is sleeping on my lap now. I did cry only because I kept remember Alex getting jabbed in the heel by the midwife to get his blood sugar tested every time he needed a feed I honestly wanted to punch the midwife the first time she did it in front of me and he cried that horrible cry. Argh.

I'm getting emailed protocols for the study on preventing heart block. The doctor was really comforting and said my situation with Alex was very common when it comes to heart block cases. She also said not to feed guilty about the antibodies and that is common as well. I think this will help me feel better about the whole situation and I'll know that maybe I'm helping future moms not go through the same things that I'm going through

 

[loopylollipop]

Just a few things the HV told me at the visit today which both surprised and puzzled me and I thought I would mention

She showed me a chart with every baby juice on the market on it (heinz,hipp,boots etc etc) and apparently all of the baby juices on the market have sugar contents at least one teaspoon in some of them and one baby juice item even has three teaspoons of sugar in it I always considered baby items for use under 12mths anyway to be sugar free at least thats what they claim but I was to find that these juices are actually worse for a baby than good olde sugar free dilute I for one will NOT be buying said juices and anything I buy food wise for Charlie now will be scrutinised for riddick amout of sugars

This question is mainly aimed at Loopy but in general just wondered if any of your HVs mentioned this My HV has told me that because of the huge amount of damp/cold weather we have in Yorkshire it is now been advised that babies should be given a vitamin D supplement from 6mths old right through to 5yrs (abidec drops they are called!) because there has been a huge rise in young children becoming `bow legged` having ricketts Maybe this is one for you Peanut hon because my HV hasnt got any info to give me on this ie what the suggestion to give additional vitamin D is based on you know what study etc I dont understand why this is just applicable to Yorkshire either I am going to internet search but havent had the chance yet

I thought that the vit D supplementation in our area was due to the ethnic population in our area - rickets is common in Asian women and children. So instead of 'targeting' a particular group they give it to everybody. Thats the
Loopy Theory. Nothing anyone else has said makes a jot of sense. My HV hasnt mentioned it, nor my GP when I went to see them about his weight.

Sorry not caught up on anything else yet

 

[vbaby3]

Thanks molly,unfortunately there's no creche type places I can throw them all into,even at that I wouldn't say Oran would go even if there was!
I'm just gonna take advantage of dh.
This wk end we're up to sil for a party,with kiddies,But the following wk end I'm going down to see my best mate from school who I don't see often enough,all on my own!!
Gonna have a few bottles of wine and a proper laugh like the old days,kiddiefree!!
She lives a good hour away so I'll stay the night down at hers.
Don't get me wrong,I live for my kids,but I have been exclusively a sahm for the last 5 yrs,there comes a point when I gotta look after me too,and I think this was my wake up call to be vbaby,and not just MAMMY!!!
