Grub - so happy to see you in here!!!! Sorry to hear Ash is having problems with wind. Trent has had troubles since birth too and there isnt much you can do for it unfortunately. I have asked the MHCN and our GP and they basically have told me I need to "ride it out" Ive used Infacol drops since 4 weeks which has helped a little but not lots. I also changed him to Novalac (Colic) formula on New Years Day as I gave up b/feeding on Christmas Eve due to my small milk supply. This still hasnt really helped him much. I know with b/feeding and wind, you need to avoid LOTS of food. Such things like chocolate, caffeine, spicy foods and have even read dairy can set them off. I did LOTS of research on the net!!! So you may want to consider changing your diet. As for the needles, I found Trent was fine straight after them, only cried for a few seconds. Mind you, I was a MESS before hand, started crying because all these other babies were upset around me and Trent was sleeping peacefully and it upset me thinking what was about to happen I gave him baby panadol that night and he slept fine but was unsettled generally for about a week afterwards. Hope this helps.
Mako - sorry to hear your sad news and glad your not doing too bad. Im sure you will have your bad days and thats totally understandable. We are here for you
Neptune - WOW, thats fantastic that Adam is now sleeping 12 hrs I hope Trent miraculously does that soon. He's not bad now, he sleeps anywhere between 6 - 8 hrs a night if Im lucky but with his wind pain he sometimes wakes earlier the poor little thing. Im HOPING that by 12 weeks the pain will settle down. I found the thickener has worked for Trent although he still throws up but not as bad, lol I often found crusty bits of formula stuck to his face and hair when he wakes from a sleep!
Marcellus - hope all is going well back at work. I used to love it when it was quiet at work and I could get onto BB, hehe What a bugger your little man hasnt slept for the sitter. That part worries me with Trent and leaving him with others to take care of him. Even my DP has problems getting Trent to sleep for him Sleep is so important for them.
Hello to Janie, Kelly, BG, BW and everyone else
AFU - I took Trent to get his hearing tested yesterday as I was concerned he may have not been hearing everything sometimes and all is fine. I think he is just easily distracted, typical male! I have also picked up some great bargains on clothes on ebay for him. He is growing out of his 000 clothes. Its sad as it means my little boy is growing up so FAST. Cant believe he will be 11 weeks tomorrow! I want to get that hand and feet impressions done before he does grow up anymore and isnt so little. He is smiling and laughing lots, its just so adorable when he does it, even in the wee hours of the morning! We saw the pediatrician last week and everything else is good with him
