Smithy oh hun that is just awful, Linc has the opposite and is screaming too. But that's the antibiotics. When did you last see your GP maybe it's time so glad things are better this morning.
Thanks for your thoughts Lenny
Grub I agrea re before they cry and at this age it's not going to "spoil" them. I've been doing that with Linc I think that's why the sling works for him, I'm right there to comfort before he looses it. Just frustraighting when you get them back to sleep then they have a pain and they're wide awake again.
Happy 4 months Adam
Well I was silly last night and ate some spicy sasages. Linc has wind ++++++ again. Also he's really fighting sleep at the moment, this was before the wind, he likes to be awake. But gets over tired. Mum says I was like that so I've been forcing the SLEEP issue. Oh and he slept for 3 hours! two nights in a row, Not holding my breath but very excited.
Back to the GP tomorrow, I hope his UTI is on the mend, besides the wind he seams alot better, more alert and happier to feed. OMG he drained my boobs three times last night. How early can babies have their 6 week growth? He's already rolling over and holding his head up I wonder if he's running a little early.
If she's still having trouble, I'd seriously consider changing formula back - did it start with the thickened stuff? I know you're having a hard time with lack of sleep, but is there anyone that can help you out? Hard poos are really not good, poor little thing.
A deep, warm bath might help. Also I've heard wiping their anus with a cold wipe might help. Or just plain water. Sugar I've heard is an old wives' tale though I know lots of people recommend it.
Did you get a sling?
Green - wow, rolling already? That's amazing Glad to hear he's doing a little bit better.
wow! rolling bubba so young! e was a bit on the late side with rolling and crawling - but i'm not too worried - the longer she is only semi-mobile, the longer my house is safe!
smithy - i haven't wanted to really comment about the constipation and formula issue as i'm not FF BUT, i have read a couple of times where you've said about making the formula more watery. now, as i said, i'm not FF so i'm not sure, but is watering it down a good idea? i'm pretty sure some of the reason that the formula companies were copping so much flack overseas was because people were unable to afford formula once their milk dried up, so were watering it down to make it go further... i would be worried about DD getting as much nutrient as she needs if you water it down
i know you switched to the thickened formula to try and stretch out her feeds and get her sleeping longer - but if it's going to give her so much grief, i would be going back to the other formula and copping the 2 hourly feeding! we went through 2 + months of DD only dirtying once every week or 10 days, and she would SCREAM in pain when it happened - so i understand why you're trying everything you can to get C past this - just make sure that watering down the formula is not going to be detrimental to her.
Oh my goodness formula sounds scary. hope I can keep bf My gut is saying little Linc is lactos intolarant though BUGGA.
The rolling freaked me out, I can't leave him on the change table which make washing hands interesting. Although I have wedged him in there a couple of times. shhhh He's pretty strong holding his head up for ages. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not, and I agrea the longer they aren't mobile the better.
ATM sling on baby sleeping I think this time it's the antibiotics though. Oh who knows I'm getting a little peed off with not knowing what is upsetting his belly. back to GP for answers I hope.
I bit the bullet and put bubs in the pram, shhhh still asleep. maybe I can now too.
Awww smithy, I had tears in my eyes reading your posts and feeling your pain. Then I had tears in my eyes when "Neptune to the rescue" (you'd never know she was a trained counsellor) made all those posts. Then...I had tears in my eyes from LMAO about Neptune looking up Smithy in the reference...so cute.
We've had a big day and are catching up on sleep. Just wanted to say though that Green, I'm so happy you are talking about being off work for longer. when you were pg and talking about going back so soon, I really hoped that you would change your mind when the baby came along. I have broken just about every rule I ever had and changed my mind on so many things. Theory is a wonderful thing, but reality is a whole lot messier hey..all these feelings Oh and you said the other day that Linc rolled WOW! Thats quite bizarre. another early starter. It's so cool that they are all so different.
P.S am I the only one whose baby poos every single time she eats (gets rid of the last meal while having the next meal). she actually can't settle or feed until she has evacuated her bowels so I love waking up to farts and squirts coming from her basinette, DH and I get big silly grins "that's our girl"! I'd be a mess if she missed one poo. It's bad enough when they are green but BG a week or 10 days and Smithy, hard poo, you poor buggers. I can't imagine. I'm not even sure that it's right for Jasmine to go this often but it doesn't seem to hurt her. She has never been a big wieght gainer though and I have started her on some solid baby food in the times that my milk is low. OMG, did you see the photos, she went nuts for it,grabbed the spoon and tried to get it in herself.
Ni Night all. Feeling quite delerious now. xoxo

: My brain hurts
smithy - what a relief... actually that is what poor little charlie is probably thinking lol.
murph -yep Ash is a big crapper. and he farts like an old man. Stretch, fart, Stretch, fart, stretch, fart-fart-fart, smile at mummy he occassionally has a green one tho but i think that's due to my fast let down.
got up to ash this morning and he'd managed to manouvre his leg through the side of his cot! he's trying to roll but not as accomoplished as Linc yet lol. But I don't think I have much of this immobile time left. I have to watch him like a hawk on the change table and he uses his legs to frog-jump himself along it... and it's an open-ended folding one! so one hand on child at all times now where as before i could walk aroudn in the nursery, turn my back briefly etc
yawn... debatig on whether to go back to bed or not????
Smithy, hope you've had a much better day today and a good night's rest last night. How is Charlie doing now, hun?
Greenslw wow, Lincoln's been having such a rough time It's so hard to feel okay when you're doing the best you can do and still can't seem to fix what is going on. I hope that the GP can have some advice. I think that ABs can really play havoc with bubs digestion - I know they did with my DD, and that was even when she was 10 months old the first time - hopefully you'll see a really big improvement once the AB course is over. Hope you're getting some better rest in the next few days.
Wow, all these beautiful little bubs are doing amazing things already! Trying to get mobile already, and being so curious about the world around them already! How wonderful!
Hi to Murph, Grub, Neptune, marcellus, BG, BW, Kelly, Lenny and anyone else I might have missed.
I'm much better now thanks for all the thoughts and wishes everyone - just quite tired as I recover, but being up with DD between 1am-4am last night hasn't helped... really really tired of these blasted molars, they're just hanging around at the last hurdle and won't finally cut through after all this work and bad nights for months to be ready to cut. Oh well, hopefully we'll have a better night tonight. I'm currently studying for the test I need to take to apply for permanent residency here in the UK (basically the citizenship test) so my brain is very quickly turning to mush tonight. Wish me luck - the test is on Friday and I have no idea how I'm going to retain all the ridiculous amounts of information I need to know whilst being sleep deprived. LOL any tips?
to you, hope you get a bit more sleep tonight!
