Mother of all conception months Graduates

[pinkclaire]

Ozzie I meant to say earlier my hubby is the same when I ask him for help in the night we had a huge bust up last week as I asked him for help in the night (the first time in three weeks when both are kids have been up in the night) and he refused! I went mental and told him if he doesn't buck his ideas up I won't be here anymore! He did apologise in the morning and said he doesn't mean it I know he's hot-headed!

Molly Lottie is three hourly and shows no sign of it changing!

Gilz have you tried Noah in a wrap? Mine is so cost I regularly wear it all day with Lottie in. Keeps her very happy and also upright which I thought might help Noah? Might give you a chance to get stuff done?

Driving me potty now shes a month ahead of lottie. With Jacob sleeping through grrrrrrrrr. I just need the sleep to clear my snuffle its given me a chesty cough I have been known to give myself chest infections before like this

 

[pinkclaire]

I've just read a whole load of more posts I must have missed

Molly Lottie does that lots in her sleep, in fact shes so noisy and sleeps so well in her own bed I think I will be putting her in her own room quite early as its better for all of us! I barely sleep because of the noises!

Madcat, My hubby used to say that to me with James, but the slightest cry he would hand him over to me saying 'he needs feeding' so no wonder I knew how to settle him better! Now its the opposite When Matts away James says daddy all the time now and if I ask him if he misses him he nods his little head. Its going to break his heart when hes away for 6 months next year

 

[pinkclaire]

James was 6 months before he would do any long stretches, you cant compare babies they all do their own thing! Although (sorry sk) all the babies I knew of similar age who slept through really early had sleep regression later on when James was sleeping through so I felt like we all got the same!

 

[molly85]

ooohhhhh something to look forward to. she does do 5 hour stretches but when is usually a mystery. SHe's pretty much on formula now but am weaning the boobs down cold turkey hurt to much so have pumped earlier andprob will before bed then spreading the milk between her feeds. we are going away at the weekend so bfing and top ups wouldjust be to much hassle especially as she isn't bfing as she was. We had a good run so she should have a decent immunity now

I can't even remember what I said Molly about clearing their snot but I'm glad it has been helpful!

Does anyone else's babies do this,Caleb will sometimes get hiccups and when he hiccups it sounds like he has loads of milk in his tummy !? Is this normal or not?

Xx

 

[molly85]

Abby hiccups loads some times there are lumps I assumed they were normal lol I hiccup a lot when i eat so nothing different here.

Nearly had a disaster the chocolate browniemix was going out of date june next year it had to be made it just couldn't go to waste lol

 

[tas1]

Lol oh no Molly dont let it go to waste!

Anyone else's babies teething? I can't feel sharps bits on Calebs gums and he has started dribbling chewing on his hands and a snotty noses,his cheeks are slightly red but not much so can't be that bad yet!

Xx

 

[molly85]

tas would you please stop describing abby lol I think she dribbles when hungry.

is anyone else watch extreme parenting?

 

[tas1]

Lol glad someone else's baby is doing the same as Caleb coz I'm such a worrier even though it's my second baby!

I'm recording extreme parenting is it good?

Xx

 

[molly85]

makesyou wounder where some peoples common sence is?

glued to my pump again watching the a&e show. abs is in bed

 

[tas1]

I'm just trying to feed Caleb he has had 4oz and needs to have another 3-4oz before we go to bed! Although I'm very tired and have a busy tonight doing the biggest clean every in my house then we can go back home yay!!!

Gonna watch the extreme parenting see if I can get any tips, Caden isn't really bad but he is starting to chat back and be cheeky so need to nip it in the bud now

Morning girls :wave:

Another crap night here. Our gp recommended I feed Noah every three hours yesterday so his disturbed nights don't start affecting how he eats during the day. So because of that it was 9:30 by the time he was down and settled compared to 7:30 usually. He'd taken what he usually eats in a whole day including his night feed in five feeds yesterday so I was stupidly optimistic he wouldn't want fed during the night. Even though he was two hours later going down he still woke up at midnight, couldn't be settled in his crib, so had to pick him up and cuddle him. Got him back down at 1:30am and then he woke up at 3:00am chewing his hands so fed and of course instant bloody reflux. Been up since then with him screaming the place down. Managed to calm him down enough to nap about 7:30 and he just had a bottle but is so tired he only took 3oz.

This is so beyond a joke now. The medication does slightly help during the day but does nothing at night when he reflux is at his worst and now it's impacting his feeding during the day because he's so tired!!

 

[pinkclaire]

Hun I can completely sympathise that's exactly what happened with James

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I hope they can help Noah glitz. Poor thing.

Better night here. I'm wondering though Alexs left eye is almost crusted shut when he wakes up and its weepy as well. Made an appointment at the docs for tomorrow cause I can't get ahold of the bloody hv grrrrrr apparently there is no one there on Thursday or Friday this week anyone know what the weepiness is? I'm just worried about a potential blocked tear duct

 

[molly85]

gilz what was doctors reasoning for not giving him meds at night? if its not physically hurting him over ride it babies nights are when theyhave their longest sleep which could be any time of day abbys seems to be between 5am and midday it can be very mixed.

Health visitor been I am now free of the visits. I keep getting abbys weight wrong lol she was 7lb 5.5 she is now 8lb shes reasonably happy with swapping feeding to bottle as she is now a hapy smiley chatty baby not the screaming devil she was.

Unfortunatly abbu decided 5 am was a good time to play with 2 hourly feeds and a lost dummy incident I got 3 hours sleep then another 2.5 when matt got home at 7 andshe finally went back to sleep

 

[madcatwoman]

Afternoon all!

I have to leave my little boy for the 1st time today to go to the dentist, im going to feel like my right arm is missing, talk about needs must!

Pretty quiet in our household, just how i like it really, the infant gaviscon works wonders, My Bailey is back to the happy content baby he was,the only crying is for milk or tiredness!

Question, does anyone elses baby seem not fussed on a dummy, Bailey spits his out most of the time lol, and if he does have it in for a while longer more often than not it ends up making him gag anyway!

 

[tas1]

Hey ladies

Ozzie caleb had that,it went away after 9wks,I used cotton wool and cooled boiled water to clean it wipe from tear duct to outside of eye! It will clear up on it's own

Well I'm cleaning myself but feeling Pretty deflated now as my friend who is pregnant with her third has started bleeding! I've talked to her told her to rest but I feel bad that I know it prob is a miscarriage (I've had two before Caden and both times started with brown blood then to red) I have told her it's prib yet doing too much coz she is a busy lady working three days a week a 5yr old and 1yr old then a house and partner to loil after!! I'm really hoping it is nothing,she has just had her 12am scan as well! It's also brought up all the emotions of having two miscarriages up!! I'm gutted for her I hope she is ok! Sorry to tell you ladies just needed to get it off my chest

Ozzie - ditto what Tas said about teh eye. Sticky eyes are hugely common, mostly caused by a virus and you just clean it. If the eye itself becomes red it might be conjunctivitis in which case antibiotics will be needed. There's no point taking them for the viral infection, they might clear up some secondary bacteria but it'll come back as soo as the course is run. Byron had sticky eyes for a full year and beyond that when he was teething or ill. Cooled boiled water, we add salt, and as Tas says wipe from the tear duct so as not to reintroduce any bugs to it.

You'll be ok madcat! What a luxury to go somewhere without the baby!

So sorry for your neverending problems Gilz. Can you not give the meds in the day so they are given at night and perhaps more effective when it is at its worst?

Tas. It might not be a mc though. I bled with Byron and a few of the girls in this thread had bleeding in their pregnancies too. Fingers crossed for her.

I've ordered a new camera. You are all bad influences but my Dad the most. It's a Pentax K-r Madcat, probably nothing like as exciting as your cameras but it looks a million times better than my current camera, which I'm very happy with so the Pentax will certainly be good enough for me! It'll be exciting to have an SLR again and I've a whole world of new stuff to learn it being digital.

We got the plumber out today. £10 for fuel and he tightened a leaking nut! I haven't even got a basic knowledge of plumbing, couldn't even spot it was that that was dripping!

Now to ring the plasterer...

Hi girls :wave:

Took Noah back to the docs this morning. Theyve now prescribed the only remaining reflux medicine they can Omeprazole. They prescribed it in liquid form and I took it to the pharmacy to be told it would take 5 days to get in. Said not thanks phoned a large Boots was told the same so phoned the hospital pharmacy and they don't have it! Had to phone the gp back and it's now prescribed in tablet form which I have to dissolve in 10ml of water and then give to Noah. No idea how I'm going to do that without having to fill 10 1ml syringes. He spills to much if I try to give him any of his meds from a 2.5ml syringe.

Anyway hoping it will make a difference, he's still on the domperidone as well, but if nothing happens there are no other medicines they can try.

I'm not allowed to give the meds at night as the metabolism of babies really slows at night and then meds aren't metabolised properly. Well that was what I was told anyway. I asked again today and was told the same so it must be the party line. The omepreazole is only given once daily, so it would only be the domperidone I could give at night anyway and since that is to make the food move through his tummy faster not control acid I don't know if it would make any difference

Peanut congrats on the new camera I love my DSLR don't know what most of the settings do yet but I love it

Tas it might not be the worst for your friend. I bled at least once a month through my pregnancy, not linked to period times though, and at 6 weeks I had a huge bleed and Noah was fine snuggled away in another part of my uterus. Very very scary every time it happened but it doesn't necessarily mean the worst. I hope things turn out positively for her
