my cousin may have picked up the issue. oral ruddy thrush she hasnappy rash to. typical huh no idea where its from but going to the baby weigh at ha;f past so willask them to look and then if need be book doctor to get it treated. no wounder shes been screamy

 

[PeanutBean]

Oh Molly the thrush can affect bf. Have you had antibiotics? Just to say, it's great that you are trying so hard to find what works best for you.

Gilz. I guess they're called baby steps for a reason.

I got 6 hours sleep in two installments so pretty tired but not the worst. Have done all the jobs (hoovering, washing, pots, cleaned bathroom, dogwalk) so am free until half 5 but bet the girl won't let me nap. Did I say we got her weighed on Tue? 9lb13

Pink I love that you are calling her Lottie!

 

[pinkclaire]

Thanks pb.

I agree Molly if it is thrush it will effect feeding!

Lotties cord keeps bleeding and smells really nasty. Is that normal? I've totally forgotten!

Hi girls,well seems like lots of us had better nights.
Call me crazy,and it could just have been a coincidence but I gave Teagan onion water last night.She was much more settled in the evening,took her last bottle at 9.30,and didn't waken again until 4.30am.
Ususally she wakens at 2ish,and even at that she does a lot of shuffling about,and groaning and snorting in the night.Last night she was quite as a mouse and so settled I didn't waken once til she woke at 4.30,I usually wake loads in the night coz she's so noisy.
She's even very settled today,no screaming and happy to sit and watch whats going on when she's not sleeping.
Of course could all be coincidence but gonna give her more tonite and see if its the same,if it is I'll give it a miss tomorrow and see if she's back to her old ways!!

Had a friend from dublin and her dh and lil girl visit this morning.They hadn't seen Teagan yet,so was lovely to show her off!!!

 

[PeanutBean]

I don't think so pink. I have no idea what to do with funny cords though. Maybe ask the mw? Could try bathing in cooled boiled salty water. Cures all ills!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Yeah, I would ask about it. Funny smells are not usually favorable in my experience.

 

[molly85]

CX powder thats what stinky here had.

typical plan of action decided and shes just gone and latched on. the little sod! will try FFing over night though knowing her she'll have it straight from the fridge. she does seem to be bunged up though she usuaaly poops like nobodies business

had her weighed 5lb 15oz thats nearly 5oz up ina week and they don't think its thrush in her mouth as she downed mostofa bottle ofwater whilst there

 

[pinkclaire]

Do you think it's because the nappy is over it where I'm using reuseables? Although even with disposables clothes would rub it wouldn't they?

 

[molly85]

disposables have a sort of gap thats not tigh we completely folded them over for abby. does it smell like rotten meat?

 

[pinkclaire]

I suppose a bit, it's just a bit funky!

 

[vbaby3]

Pink,Teagans cord was rank,it started coming away nearly straight away.It fell off when she was about 3 days old,and was weepy and smelly.Alcohol swabs cleaned it and dried it up in a few days.
I just cleaned it with cooled boiled water until it fell off then used the swabs.Lotties will prob fall off soon enough,apparently a sign of an overcooked baby!!

 

[molly85]

yikes abbys was off in a week stinking thing we were so tempted to flick the damn thing off

 

[vbaby3]

lol molly I know,its disgusting!!!!
Teagans wee clamp thing smelled of dead flesh lol!!!

 

[molly85]

yup thats the stink and weirdly its still saton cotton wool in the nursery.

 

[pinkclaire]

Thanks ladies. The MW is coming tomorrow so I can show her!

 

[molly85]

if she says cx powder warning it costs over £6 for a tiny container

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I just hoovered and mopped the living room, kitchen, and entryway. I have laundry going. DH can do the dishes damn it!

 

[molly85]

ozzie pop over and do mine please.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I'm pooped from just doing mine. I think this might be one of the last times it gets done until I recover.

 

[molly85]
