eww i don't like anything like that except jelly
I know it's late but Abby never ceases to impress. She's been pukey all day combination of heat and eyes bigger than her belly I think and hope got some lovely advice from Gilz. Any who got in the bath a bit late had a brilliant splash I'm sure shes trying to swim arching her back and flapping about. I popped her nappy put her on the sofa for a second she was drifting off, wizzed her up stairs shes cried once. what ever the change i like it

Morning ladies

Sorry to hear about your sickness coming back Kate and then having all the other problems!
When does Abby have her first injections Molly? I think you could take her swimming before but I would check I haven't risked it but can't wait to take caleb swimming coz he loves his baths too!

Well he did it again slept from 9.30 to 7.30am i cant believe it maybe he likes being at my mums well anywhere is better than our house I hate it!
It's gonna be another hot day so caleb will just be in his nappy but I just gotta get him to like laying down on his own as yesterday he was too sweaty but loved cuddles! And Im sure my other son will be naked in the garden lol may join him lol

Xx

Morning all.
well Bailey had ahorrible afternoon yesterday, not sure if was the heat or tummy ache,but didnt feed properly was crying alot...half colicky, he did settle in the evening time however. I was very hot in our house though because our living quarters are upstairs, with the heat rising it was 28 deg up there, obviously cooler in the bedrroms downstairs, he was stripped down to his vest all day bless him.
Madly, are you sure it wasnt the heat setting charlie off in tears?.

so feeding was up the creak, which left me with a 1.30,4.30 and 7 o clockish rise.

 

[pinkclaire]

Yes I agree, Lottie was the same, really unsettled in the heat! I put her outside around 8.30pm and that cooled her down and she was fine after! I hate this weather with a newborn it's so worrying

 

[gilz82]

You should all move to scoland then cos it's not warm here and I mostly forget what the sun looks like

Well Noah was back to having a completely crap night all the way through. He slept from 8-10 and then that was it. We've got the paediatric clinic today with the old paediatrician. Our gp advised me still to take Noah even though she's referring us to a different paediatrician. So we'll go an see what useless advice he has to spew at us today.

Molly you don't need to wait for the injections to go swimming. We had planned to go pretty early so I checked with neonatal and they said it's fine as every pool is chlorinated. We haven't managed to go yet but I think Noah will love it as he really likes his bath since I got one of those bath lounger things that Loopy recommended.

 

[tas1]

These poor babies! We did the same pink took caleb outside it was still hot though!
Gilz I hope your appointment goes better today,I hope the pd isn't so useless!

Caleb is teething,he's had bumpy gums from being born but I noticed yesterday a White bit so I felt it and it's sharp,my mum felt it as well and said yeah it was,it's at the top though and I thought the bottom ones come first! I'm gonna see what I can get for his gums bless him

X

 

[molly85]

tas nooooo i told matt abby can't be teething yet.

abby slept all day yesterday was up every2 hours in the night trying her just on boob as hv suggested by 9am screaming again.

[MADLYSBOYS]

Morning Ladies :wave:

Such pics SK

and how cute Molly daddy and daughter having a cuddle awwww!

pink

Ozzie glad you got Alex settled .... babies do fall asleep whereever they like dont they

blah for MS NOMORE

Gilz cant wait to hear what crap the consultant comes out with today infact the way I feel right now if it was me I would be tempted to tell him just what I think Sorry you had another crap night hon

Tas its funny you should mention teething because I wasnt sure if this isnt the reason for some of Charlies upsetment hes been stuffing his hands and well anything else in his mouth you know his bib,clothes etc and hes been drooling and blowing bubbles he has had bumpy gums since birth and I cant find any sharp bits you know teeth poking through but he has all other classic signs

Well Ladies I agree it was warm yesterday so that may have contributed a little to my boys unsettlement but he was doing the thing with the bottle again wanting to feed rooting like a little piglet but crying when he sucks its like hes scared of the bottle I just know something isnt right and after a little research yesterday we realised he has all the classic symptons of lactose intolerance including a red bum from his poo been too acidic lacotose intolerance symtons are very much like colic with the added weight loss/failure to gain, red bum and a few other which could be why he `appears` to have colic yet none of the usual colic remedies help well apart from the colief drops which break down lactose in the milk ..... he wouldnt even settled last night after practically crying all day from 12.30pm to after 11pm last night I have booked another Drs appointment for this evening because I am now mentally exhausted and its breaking my heart because I just know there is something wrong with my baby and I cant stand not been able to help him .... if this carries on I worry about PND which I really do not want to go through again I have started to feel useless and I feel like a bad Mummy because all my baby does is scream I havent joined any groups which I wanted to do more than anything but right now its impossible considering Charlie screams most days Am going to ring paediatrics too and see whats going on with this urgent appointment I feel the need to hassle people because I feel like if I dont we wont ever get anywhere

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

and if all this isnt bad enough I had the scare of my life last night

It was about 1.30am and I stirred so as per norm when I stir in the night I check on Charlie When we went to bed I was a little worried what to dress him in because I didnt want him getting too cold during the night but it was still a little warm when we went to bed anyway I dressed him in just his nappy, a short arm/leg romper and a light thin little cardi I reached across to touch him resting my hand on his belly/chest and he wasnt bloody breathing whilst I had my hand on his chest I shook him calling his name and he didnt move a muscle I dashed to put the light on panicking an ran back to him I shook him some more and he still didnt move I started shaking and crying which disturbed DH ...... then all of a sudden he let out a big sigh I cant begin to explain how I felt such a rush of emotions all in one go I truly thought my baby had stopped breathing I watched him for a while and realised he was holding his breath for quite a while inbetween breathing and whilst it seemed like minutes inbetween me realising and him breathing it was probably more like a minute I dont think I have ever felt so terrified in all my life

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Madly, how scary! I'm terrible for listening to Alex and I start to freak out if I don't hear him.

Spoke to the midwife today and she had me phone my GP for an appointment to see if I have PND I was telling her I felt detatched from Alex and all the worry throughout the pregnancy and now everything is hitting me because he's actually ok. I feel so guilty for feeling like this She said the first step was telling someone that I wasn't doing ok so we're off the GP today to see what she says.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Ozzie I can relate and your MW is right the first step is admitting and talking about how you feel .... let us know how you get one and you know where I am if you want to chat!

 

[Sofiekirsten]

Morning All,

To all those who had a crappy night....

Ozzie

We didn't do too bad Jacob slept in his moses basket from 10:30 til 2am and then had a feed and decided he didn't want to sleep in his basket lol so he slept in the bed with us again until 6am then again at 10.

My bedroom was 27 degrees all bloody night! So I stripped JAcob down to his nappy, had both windows open and a fan on full wack. It was just sooo hot!

 

[vbaby3]

Hi all,so much to catch up on!

Sofie,jake is gorgeous!

ozzie

Peanut,so glad you enjoyed your hols

Molly we got 1 of them booster seats that you strap to a kitchen chair.I think its suitable from 6months,i spoonfed mine in their bouncer until they were big enough for the booster.Its plastic so easy to clean,and compact to take with you wherever you're going if you need it

Gilz,hope you get your new paed app through soon

madly your gp should be able to do the lactose intolerance test.shay had it done coz he was so unsettled.My gp just gave me a tube with a little scoop thing to take home,and nxt morning i had to get a fresh poo sample and get it down to her.At least it could be something to be getting on with whilst waiting on your appointment.x

As for your dh making you feel like you have to beg for money,that completely disgusts me hun.How dare he make his gorgeous wife and mam to his boys feel like that.x

And yes shay is finished pre school for the summer.Starts big school on 30th aug

As for useless dh's/oh's girls,much as you might not like confrontation,you really have to assert yourselves.Have it out with the men,have a screaming match if thats what it takes and don't let them walk all over you.The decision to have these babies was a mutual 1,it really annoys me when I hear how useless some of them are!!!

 

[molly85]

Awww Ozzie you know where I am to. I seem to have got off lightly for the mo but was very depressed throughpregnancy so can understand feeling nothing for your bump somedays.

Lactose intolerance sounds intresting that was always my big fear for abby as i eat very little straight lactose like milk or cream.

Hope all our babies get the attention they need.

Abby has gone a step further with staying cool she's naked on a fluffy towel in her pram covered by a flynet and towel to keep the sun off. as she is in the garden

 

[molly85]

oh reminds me in that pic they are not cuddling they are sleeping.

we don't have a kitchen table vbaby and wow you guys break up before us.

is abby meant to do several poops a day? they are a deifferent colour now shes on formula but her bumm deffinatly looks sore most of the time hence the nappy free day.

 

[vbaby3]

As for us,well teagans cold has gotten worse,and she has a horrible cough that breaks my heart.She goes into a coughing fit and can't catch her breath,all i can do is hold her through it
She's completely bunged up and is sneezing and spluttering,and generally just sadneedless to say we had a bad night lastnight.

The boys enjoyed kung fu panda,well shay did,oran lost interest once the popcorn was all gone,and then fell asleep on my knee
I think we'll wait a few months before taking him again lol!

 

[vbaby3]

How long do they have off school?
our primary schools have 2 months off,and secondary schools have 3 months off!

teagan could have no poo 1 day and 4 the next,so no set pattern for our little madame.

its really hot here,but its windy and cloudy,so not really sit outside weather,but inside is so muggy.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I'm finding it so comforting to read the breastfeeding forum! I'm not alone! I was starting to feel like the only person in the world who was struggling with cluster feeding and detatchment feelings.

 

[molly85]

ozzie this is part of the reason i am now happy to step down a bit to bottle. i've not been over the bfing forum prob because I am not a dedicated BFer.

vbaby they have 6 weeks her from mid to late july same from preschool to college so 18

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

vbaby your just so lovely

Glad you enjoyed the cinema but poor little Teagan gah our babes are really going through it arent they As for school holidays Oliver breaks up end of July and is back beginning of Sept they have 6-7wks off

Go Abby getting naked

Ozzie glad you found some support

Well over here am hoping the GP can help Charlie has spent most of the morning in my arms cause hes just so unhappy the poor mite I posted a thread in babyclub and FF section and a few mummies have replied It seems Lactose Intorerance (LI) is very rare in the UK although some babies do have it (I have had several mummies reply with LI babes!) and that if its not LI it could be Cows Milk Protein Intolerance (CMPI) It seems quite often once the problem is established a change of milk is all that is required and babies may or may not outgrow it which means once we get to weaning it could be a little more tricky but I just want a proper diagnosis and the rest we will deal with as and when we get there LI is determined with a poo sample as for CMPI I havent yet researched this but am going to shortly

I have also tried to find out where Charlies referral has ended up because paediatrics dont have it although my GPs confirm it was sent on the 22nd going round this houses with this one but am determined to sort it out because when I look into Charlies eyes I see his pain and I cannot bare it if all else fails am off to A&E
