Emzy, What a load of rubbish from nhs, if she is not properly recovered she will just throw it all back, normal food is just going to irritate a tender tummy, i agree with you and stick with toast today, as long as she has fluids she will be fine and it gives the bug a chance to get out as it has nothing to feed on and make her sick, it is really horrible for us not to feed our children but worse i suppose if they are sick!
If you are worried about her not getting enough fluids then ask the doctor about replacing them with something, you can get powders but they are vile so its unlikely she will take them, hopefully the worst is over and now you just need to take it slowly with foods start dry and plain. (toast, rich tea biscuits)
Hope she feels better soon
Louise, not long now! Good luck in getting the house up together, I am trying to get decorated for a new sofa but i cant say having cleared the lounge then painted it much has changed, everything got piled back in, which was not the idea!! I still have to clean the carpets!
On the subject of sterilising bottles, I agree with you, there are enough germs around without ones that can be prevented, there is also something about something that goes into a babies mouth and tummy. I am not sterilising bowls etc because Rosie is mainly eating off a tray picking bits up i give her, yesterday she loved a roast potato! I don't spoon feed so we have no spoons to sterilise, and frubes she sucks on the packet!
I understand the other side of the argument that babies put everything in their mouths, but we have no pets so my hair is the worst thing she trys to eat, at the moment that is!
Sarah, we were bought up with the 'a little bit of dirt and a little bit of gristle is what gives the police man the strength to blow his whistle' but my mother was a bit extreme in that the animals seemed to live along side us!! It has put me off having pets tbh, our cats would lick the butter, my Mum wouldn't blink!! And dog hair on everything is something that still makes me feel a bit sick, my mil always has a bonus dog hair in the tea she makes and i politely decline her offers of tea!!
We never had bugs as children but i expect we had cast iron interiors, we had experienced every foul germ out there!
My mum blames the anti bac on germs, she says if my children live in a sterilised environment they will be suseptable to germs outside, if mine get a bug, (last time Ben had something at school that made him ill) but my mum blamed my sterile environment at home, and it is hardly that, a bottle of detox hardly constitutes as hospital clean house!!
lilia, OMG!! I would have been moritifed, no one see's my stretch marks but my dh!! I feel for you, I would have not come out of the cubicle!!
Oh and just wanted to put in a vote of aggrement to the chart for good behaviour, we use a school method of having goals with my dh who has trouble understanding behaving!
We made a short goal list for 3 times a day, it can be whatever you like and then we drew and laminated a goal post and some footballs, for each completed goal or set of goals the reward was to stick the football in the goal and shout 'goal' this way there is no big sweet reward or cost involved but it really does work!!
We had morning goals brush teeth, get ready for school, and did the goal before school, so Blob you could have a goal to play quietly or cuddle up in bed, we did have one for going to bed nicely, and like i say it did work.
Got to go, dd has dentist again today, poor love has poor teeth but due to her milk allergy has had lots of suggary juice on her teeth, even with brushing she has missed the milk. at least she can have it now.
Back later, have a great day all xxxxxxxxxx
