Hey I need some advice.....

I've had some stuff spray all over my house for creepy crawlys and the guy said once dry it's ok to walk on and let children back on them but I can't Hoover it off for two weeks...do I risk staying here for two weeks and risk caden dropping something and putting in his mouth or laying on the floor and licking it (I know he's 3 but you never know) or do I just stay at my mums til I can Hoover it? I really dont want caden to get ill but the guy said it should be ok once dry but the guy can't turn up on time let alone get info right!

Hi Ladies :wave:

Thank you all your lovely supportive messages in my journal

Today I have a baby who likes to make his Mummy look like a great big flaming liar (thank goodness Charlie has been unsettled and screaming on every HV visit so far!) hes been a happy smiley baby nearly all day and has only had a little moan when hes wanted a feed or been tired normal baby stuff we tried to nap ealier and he moaned a little for his dummy but cooed and gurgled away in his crib hes also guzzled the full 3oz at 3 0f his 4 feeds so far today I am lost because for the last two days hes been a nightmare to the point where I havent been able to pee in peace

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Tas I agree go to your Mums its only for two weeks better to be safe than sorry imo

SK for a crap DH too what is it with our men as for the colic the mummy I was taking to in tescos yesterday recommened the drops Gilz gave to madcat she said they can be given on prescription but the Dr likes to see they work before prescribing so you generally need to buy the first lot there about a tenner if I remember rightly! its our next stop BUT I want to wait to see the paediatrician before we try anything else!

Gilz good news about the Drs appointment....put your foot down big time

Ozzie Charlie kept waking up at like 5am and refusing to go back off so we bought a blackout blind babies are odd creatures and have preferences to things from the minute they are born all very bizare

Spoke too soon Charlie is now screaming the house down DH has him

 

[tas1]

Thanks ladies I've looked it up but there are no answer to my questions! So I think I'm gonna be save than sorry don't care what OH says

Well I have just sent DH out for colief drops because this is the only thing we have yet tried He has gone to the boots up the road and he has just rang me to say when he asked the Pharmacist for the colocynth granules or colief/colic drops he just looked at DH as if he`d gone and told him their is no such thing I have sent him back and suggested the pharmacist looks at boots online because they sell them and they do existed ... bloody idiotic pharmacist

Edit: Oh now `apparently` dentinox colic drops are the only ones they have right now and they are prescription only I saw them the other day at Tescos and I have seen them other places to buy over the counter .... am wondering if the pharmacist is actually qualified grrrrrrr!

madly abby did the same thing at my 6 week appointment, told doc i would be fab if she didn't scream so much as she sits in her car seat looking around looking all butter wouldn't melt. shes now been asleep for over an hour so i am thinking i don't have a sleeps all day baby. once she gets to sleeping longer in 1 go at night I am thinking she will onlyhave a 2 hour lunch time nap.

 

[PeanutBean]

:wave: Still catching up but think i'll lose signal before I get up to date. Want to wish madly good luck for her appoinment - could he be lactose intolerant? And wish Gilz good luck generally with Noah. And Madcat really don't worry about Bailey looking one way, it's totally normal. Is that what they were concerned about in hospital?!

Cinfests again Ozzie. Hope everyone is ok.

We're having a pretty fab holiday though it's probably as well tomorrow is our last proper day as I'm not sure how I've been maintaining this pace! I'll fill you all in better once we're home. It's not easy having no signal most of the time!

 

[gilz82]

Madly dentinox completely isn't prescription only stupid pharmacist man. I bought ours in asda.

The colief and dentinox in boots isnt behind the counter though, it's just on the shelf with the baby cold medicine etc. Did your DH look there?

Oh also on the dentinox front if you've never used it I'd keep it as a last resort. It smalls disgusting and is the same consistenty as wallpaper paste. Noah refused to take it.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Thank you Peanut hon

Glad your having a good time cant wait to hear all about it

We have managed to get some colief drops 10.99 from the stupid boots pharmacist trying them in next feed wish us luck Charlie WAS asleep but hes done his 5min cat nap thing and is screaming again .... am letting DH take charge

madly abbyso does that i have now discovered if you wait for what looks like a mini seizure i thinkits the moro thing she will then be out for the count

 

[madcatwoman]

Oh yes peanut, that was what they were kicking up a fuss over in the hospital(before they decided to turn their attention to the GBS) was that bailey was looking one way and sleeping with his head to one side. But this is normal??.
They did check for knots in his neck but he was fine.

Ive been keeping up with your status peanut, sounds like you have been having a great week

 

[gilz82]

Cat I find your hospital really weird. One of the first things they explained to us in neonatal was that Noah might favour one side of his head to the other and how it was normal and not to worry. I had always just thought it was normal until the neck muscles are more fully developed.

 

[madcatwoman]

thats interesting gilz&pretty much inline with what ive read on the net|!

looking back, my whole hospital stay was very strange

Day one-we were both checked&told we could go gome

Day two-doc came round checked his neck and said it was fine and we could go home but late afternoon they brought up the GBS thing which was a whole new saga i wasnt informed about

Day three-the senior doc came round, checked his neck again, said there wasnt a problem, later that day they finally said i could go home for the 3rd time and finally GBS wasnt an issue!

 

[molly85]

eugh i had the heat thing so annoying. i took abs templast night and it was way below what it was in the hospital. she appears to be healthy if screamy

 

[pinkclaire]

What's she like tonight Molly?

Oh also how long do the night sweets continue for? I must have had a lot of retained water lol.

Sorry meant sweats, night sweets would be good lol

 

[tas1]

Lol night sweets that would be nice whilst feeding given by a hunky man that doesn't mind getting up for night Feds even just to keel you company if not to do it....sorry just dreaming lol obviously for the sweets as the hunky man who liked night Feds doesn't exist lol!

Pb glad your having a nice holiday cant wait to hear about it!

Just watching born to be different and I know some of our babies have colic or reflux or a heart that healed itself (still amazed by Alex he is the real trooper) but we are to be grateful that we don't have anything like these children! I'm just cuddling Caleb thinking I'm so lucky especially with all the reading I did about how my thyroid could effect him and I was so nervous about everything scan! I take my hats off to all the children and Lk the parents coz they are amazing!

And I just wanna say thank you to all of you coz I was worried about being alone since all my friends children's are older or they haven't had there second baby yet but chatting to you all on here has helped me and I have learnt so much that I thought I knew from last time but actually I didn't! And you must get bored of my money worries and other rants but you never complain so thank you just wish I was on here when I had Caden coz i probably would of got more right than wrongs!
