Where is PK wanna see how her test went

 

[sleeping bubs]

sorry now going to rant.

Mckenzie is ill again got a bad cough again and using reliever inhaler lots now on his discharge letter from hospital said consider a preventer is symptoms persists esp nocturnal cough to doctor. Mckenzie has this and wheezing lots today had inhaler 3 times today and hv was concerned and said they should give him preventer. Went to doc and he has tonsillitis (again 5 times now) gave him antibiotics and said normally we would give steroids too but he isn't that bad (I told him he had inhaler 2hrs b4 so of course he won't be that bad) and I said about preventer and he just didn't listen and carried on. So now Mckenzie has got antibiotics 3 times a day paracetamol 4 times a day and doc wants him to have inhaler 4 times a day.

Plus pg SIL was a 9month old to is driving me mad they r still living at my mums no sign of looking for a flat/house and she can't be bothered with her son now and don't know how she going to be with next child. Makes out Jacob is ill won't eat ect when he does eat and lies about everything. Basically trying to get attention making out Jacob was in hospital for weeks when someone tells her that their baby was in hospital. Driving me mad and she constantly wants to come around.

As for ttc Think I have over a week till testing had loads of white discharge and keep needing to pee loads

Sleeping bubs, rant away, sounds like you have a lot on your plate at the mo Poor little Mckenzie, I agree with you that if he is using the revealer on a regular basis he should be put onto a preventer. All you doc seems to be doing is treating the symptoms not the underlying problems. I hate it when docs do that grrr If he continues like this I would go back, is there another doctor at the practice you could see? And as for your SIL, she sounds like a nightmare, someone needs to tell her to get a grip! how can you actually want your kid to be ill just for attention? Mind you I have seen that on the wards a couple of times, and conclude that such women need serious help. Apart from all that, your TTC signs sounds good! an increase in creamy CM is a good sign on your TWW honey, try not to let everybody get you down x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Right signing off for the night, gotta give DH a little attention Hope you all have a lovely valentines evening :wave: xxxxxxx

 

[sleeping bubs]

thanks Tinkerbell Well Kenzie has seen all the docs there now and all doing nothing considering changing doctors cos they didn't do anything the first time round then he ended up in hospital And I really don't want that to happen again esp with his poor weight gain too I really have had enough.

SIL rang up earlier and wanted me to come around and she asked if she could come around tomorrow AHHHHHHHH!!!!

So hoping for a BFP this month, Sold my pushchair which is suitable from birth yesterday as I didn't use it sat in the garage as I have 2 others lol so hoping next one comes along b4 Mckenzie starts to walk only cos then I would buy a tandem

[poppy666]

LR Just remember do not give a newborn boiled water all the time only when needed cos i heard or was told when korben was very young too much water can flood a newborns organs now if Tink was here she'd confirm if there is any truth in that, but until you know dont give Dexter anymore only when contispated and saying that babies can go for a few days and be totally fine so my midwife said x

 

[Hopes314]

Geeeez well quiet, must be cos of valentines blahhhhhhhhhhhh soppy buggers

Morning Ding Dongs, up rather early I know gave up sleeping.

Pops your right it not advised under normal situations to give a newborn baby water. Its VERY rarely needed in a breastfed infant, but IS actually sometimes needed in a formula fed baby in certain conditions. This is in VERY hot weather, dehydration, or constipation. The reason this advice is that a, water could fill the baby up and reduce the amount of milk it is able to drink, therefore leaving the baby without some of the calories and nutrients it needs. b, like Poppy said the other danger is that too much water can alter the balance of certain important minerals such as sodium. When an imbalance like this occurs, it can make the baby unwell.

HOWEVER having said that you would have to give a lot of water on a regular basis to cause any harm so don't panic! This advice is given because when water isn't prescribed, it can be used to excess and cause more harm than good. As babies, we were all offered water by our parents and rarely anything ever went wrong. BUT in the age we live in, advice has to be 'fool proof'

So honey, if you offer him water, do it because of one of the reasons I mentioned. Offer it half way between feeds. Offer no more than a couple of ounces. Any more should be prescribed by your doctor. But don't panic, you would have to give a great deal more to cause him harm x

Nice Valentines night, meal was yummy, DH fell asleep straight after and I'm the one who's preggers x

 

[poppy666]

Morning

Tink glad you explained it midwife or health visitor cant remember had me in a panic when i gave it korben lol he was always constipated every 3 days x

 

[lupinerainbow]

Poppy & Tink- Thank you he had it all day in between feeds but ended up drinking about 2oz throughout the day but she only gave it to him that one day (he doesn’t like water he want milk ). He went other night but was up crying whole night cause he was trying again and couldn’t go plus I guess his gums were hurting from the thrush… but he should be okay cause he went 3 days without going and he went day before yesterday I suppose his body got to get used to the formula he is on
Hopes- at describing your nipples as crusty
Tink- So do you think that we should give him water if he straining? Or wait till tomorrow to see if it comes through itself? Glad you had a nice valentines night!
AFM- Nothing to update really My dog is petrified of baby crying he hides under the bed shaking he shakes about everything, he needs to grow a backbone If you met him you would know what I mean I think he does it for attention because he is extremely needy and he is not getting so much attention as the baby is so he is jealous My OH has hired a transit to go pick up 2 cockatiels what is he on… What would you advise the best baby formula milk? Dexter is on SMA.. I’m on really early today just noticed and I’m rambling because I can’t think of anything to say Oh can you see my chart by clicking on my ticker now? Or do I need that OV chart thing up? (not updated it yet though )

xxxxx

 

[Hopes314]

good morning

it seems my little internal clock is set to go off around 330 every morning now. it always just feels like its "time" to get up. (its about the ONLY time of the day it feels like its time to get up)

how is stuff hope everyone had a good valentine's day

 

[poppy666]

Awww poor doggy your gonna have to post another piccy of Dexter

Dont know anything about SMA mine all went on Cow&Gate

edited yes can see your chart x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Hey Pops, I have had a few mums ask me that kind of thing in hospital saying similar things. I think sometimes midwives and health visitors are so straight down the line they say what they are told to say without finding out why, and treating mums with whatever intelligence they actually have. Most mums will know what works for their baby and want the very best for them, so they find out what is best, and why, then do it. That sort of stuff can easily come across as quite scary advice without an explanation, and even worse when your a new mum with a tiny newborn! Criky I think I would have been in meltdown if I was told that water was dangerous full stop. Mine all had the odd little bit here and there for one or another reason. Oh and by the way your right, sometimes they do go a few days between and that's normal. But they usually say 3 days is time to seek advice.

Hark at me, I think I must be getting hospital withdrawal I'm right getting into it this morning excuse me :/ x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Exactly Lupine, babies rarely ever want to drink more than 2 ounces of water

Well in hospital we usually give Aptamil. I would say that or Cow and Gate are the easiest to digest. If he is straining, it might just be a sore tummy or trying to get wind up. Hopefully that will settle down as he gets used to his milk. If she is happy with SMA I would continue for a while to see if he settles, changing can make the situation worse for a spell. I wouldn't rush in treating him as if he is constipated yet, but like i said, a small amount of water will be fine if he seems to need it x
