Vbaby so much of what you said described how Noah used to be. Even now that his medication appears to be sorted you still can't move him for at least half an hour after a feed or he pikes albeit it either wet burps or mouthfuls. The paediatrician says that reflux while managed with medication typically gets much better on it's own by the time they are eating solids that require a little chewing. It's really rare for reflux to continue past the weaning stage.

Took Noah for his jags this morning, she took his temp and it was 37.7 weighed him naked and then checked his temperature again and it was still 37.7 so no jags. They reckon combined with the stuffy nose he's got a wee viral infection so just to keep an eye on the temp and give him calpol as needed. Then took him for his ultrasound, stupid receptionist told me I was in the wrong place, I wasn't, then finally went to ask someone and they took Noah in. Only for the radiographer to tell me that Noah had to be 6 weeks corrected, which he isn't, so she did the scan of his hips but there's a good chance we'll need to go back again.

he's obsessed with that bloody dummy! hahaha she spat it out now he's having to put it in boiled water

typical huh Gilz they just don't get these things right? does that make abby 4 weeks corrected? at what stage do you stop correcting and does it make the post 40weekers say a week older than their birth certificates?

Ozzie this time tomorrow you'll be sat on your bed likle that american OBEM woman trying to reach your phone lol baby in one arm drip in the other.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Oh Molly, if only I would be holding him He has to go to the NICU for monitoring and won't be with me all the time. Good thing is, I can go see him at any time 24 hours a day so if I wake up in the middle of the night and want to go see him, I can.

Hi Ladies :wave:

Well Molly Charlie woke at 1.10am and then again at 4.40am DH got up with him about 6.40am and DH popped him asleep into his crib at the side of me around 8am and apart from him losing his diddy twice I got a good amount of sleep in and got up at 10am We are both showered and I have done some tidying round and hes now asleep in his bouncer

Gilz so sorry little Noah is ill on top of everything else Our grad babies do like to cause us bother bless them

Peanut your LO`s fathers day presents sounds so cute

Ozzie I am so excited for you and will be even more excited waiting for your text

Tas goodluck with the coil counselling I had my first depo jab yesterday

mmmmmm not sure if I forgot anything apologises if I did

 

[gilz82]

Glad you got some sleep Madly apart from the stuffy nose Noah actually seems quite content. He's just toasty warm.

Molly if your baby is born from 37 weeks onwards they don't bother with corrected age etc as 37 weeks is classed as full term. So basically actual and corrected ages are only used for premature babies. It's a bit of a faff but necessary I suppose as Noah's developmental checks will be based on corrected age. They did the tests at 6 weeks actual age and other than social smiles he failed everything else. He's only just starting to follow an object with his eyes and stare at me intently so the corrected age thing must have it's place.

How was Abby last night, other than needing a bottle feed?

Ozzie I've a friend calling up now so prob won't get the chance to come back on today,so just wanted to wish you the best of luck for tomorow.
Hope everything goes well,will be thinking of you.x

 

[pinkclaire]

Ozzie good luck hun, I just get the feeling Alex is going to do great and surprise everyone! Whatever happens we're all here to support you xx

 

[vbaby3]

Thanks again for the info gilz,I wa definately waiting it out but feel I've waited long enough without an improvement.When doc said she's doing damage to her oesophagus if thats whats wrong I decided I'd have to get it looked at properly.
Rang my gp's this morning,have to call back at 3.30 once receptionist talks to doc.She said there is a 12 month waiting list to see a pediatrician
I am assuming she's got that wrong,what would be the point in her being seen in a bloody year!
My doc already said I could have her seen privately,which would cost me 150euro,which I would gladly do if it was a once off,but I get the impression with something like this there'll be lots of follow up appointments and we couldn't afford that for every appointment.
Anyway,will see what they say when I ring back later!

 

[pinkclaire]

A year vbaby thats rediculous! When James had silent reflux not much helped, he just seemed to grow out of it eventually which I know is no help! Its only now I have Charlotte that I realise how bad it was!

 

[madcatwoman]

Its about time we had another grad baby!!

Peanut- if need be just contact Britax themselves. I did yesterday to say i was having no luck with Boots, and wow, today i get an email saying they have dispatched the new seat for me today via parcelforce, and just told me to contact parcelforce to pick up the faulty one-when i have recieved their new one!. Dont often get service like that!, and trust!

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Thanks all!!!!!

Hi All,

Gilz does that mean that Jacob should have a corrected age because they classed him as prem because he was born at 36+1??

Had a horrible night last night....I passed a massive clot and it scared the crap out of me so I had to ring DH and ask him to come home and help me...

In the end he cut my knickers off for me and put it in the bin. It must of been the size of my fist.

Then Jacob was screaming so in the end I sat on the stairs and cried until DH sorted Jacob out and then came and cuddled me.

Feel like a broken record at the minute.

Tried to get Jacobs footprints this morning which we failed at epicly! he got paint everywhere! he now has little bits of blue paint inbetween his toes that we can't get out

We are going to get Jacob registered today at 4pm.

Sorry for the one sided post, really tired to everyone.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

SK, my DH joked we should ask my dad for a fingerprint pad to take his footprints (my dad is a retired police officer). Have you tried a stamp pad? Might be easier than paint

 

[madcatwoman]

Sofie, that sounds like a scary clot?,,i passed about 3 large-ish ones, just bigger than a 50p if i remember correctly, but the MW didnt seem bothered.


I dont know if its just Bailey, but when bathing your babies, when you sink them into the water, i hold his head with my hand,, and he wraps his little arm & fingers around the arm i have going to his head. And he looks as if hes saying "dont let go mummy!" clutching on for dear life!

 

[Sofiekirsten]

Oh Ozzie good luck for tomorrow!

I was told not to use a stamp pad because it is a shit to get off thier skin??

Madcat - Yeah it scared the crap out of me but I feel fine so I am not going to bother the HV with it.

Jacob holds on to me for dear life when we are bathing him, I find it rather amusing!

 

[madcatwoman]

I think its normal sofie,horrible when you feel them slide out though!!

Are there any new grad baby boys who need 1 month vest tops?, because i have a load going(to a good home). ?

 

[Ozzieshunni]

You can get washable ones, like the kids ones I think. Might be worth looking into

 

[Sofiekirsten]

Yeah I found it more gross that it was sliding down the side of my knickers down my leg!

I wish Jacob was a little bit bigger to fit into clothes lmao he is still in tiny baby and nothing fits him at all!

 

[madcatwoman]

Bailey is in 0-3month clothes, i think he only wore his 1month clothes for one week!!. his toes are begining to stretch his 0-3 clothes now, so a couple of weeks and we'll have to buy some more bigger ones.

I managed to pass on the sleepsuits, but still have an awful lot of vests, so, anyway, if anyone needs any, let me know.
