Wow, you ladies are fast! So many posts, and it's only the 2nd of the month!
Nice to meet you, Iris. I don't think I've communicated with you before. Sorry to hear that Alana has had some thrush... I actually have oral thrush at the moment (due to some asthma inhalers I have to take) and it really sucks, so I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for a baby to have it. I remember that Daktozin was really good for Charlie's nappy thrush (if that's the kind she has). Hope it clears up soon.
Mitch - sorry to hear about Jemma's finger. I don't think I read the post about what happened... glad it seems to have turned out ok.
Rose - wow, you're not having much luck, are you?! Luckily Amelia must have known you were having a hard time and decided to cut her tooth quietly (unlike other bubs I know!). She sounds so gorgeous! I can't wait until Charlie can talk... I think it would be "easier" if they learned to talk first, then your house wouldn't get ruined so quickly! Hope your medication kicks in soon and you're back to normal in a jiffy!
mooshie - glad that the "number 2" situation turned out ok. Prunes are fabulous for this (and pears too)... Charlie has also been having some rockmelon lately, and this seems to aid digestion as well, for some reason. I also try to give him water when he's like this - when he was very little he had a lot of digestion problems, and would be up screaming through the night because of it, and we'd give him warm water in a bottle and give him a nice bath. Seemed to both relax him and help things along. Hope it's just a "phase"!
Charlie is doing well. I think another tooth might be on the way (his fifth) because he has been grizzly and tired all day. He also has been feeding really strangely (probably because of his teeth)... he's eating well, but not drinking from me so well. If it goes on for too long I might have to get it looked into. I know he's not hungry though, so that's the main thing. He's also still sleeping through, so it mustn't be annoying him too much. It's frustrating for me, though, because he'll hop on the breast, drink for only a few minutes and then pull away and look around at everything else! I'm not sure how to get him out of that, but I'll see how things go. He's being lots of fun otherwise though... he's gone back to sleeping well through the day again. I was worried that he had gone back to his old stubborn habits, but it just must have been a temporary thing - thank goodness!
Anyway, it's my turn to get up tomorrow (had a lovely sleep in today) so I should get into bed. Although DH has 1 1/2 weeks off as of Wednesday, so I'll be getting even more sleep ins! The last time he had a "holiday" was when Charlie was about 4 wks old, so it wasn't exactly relaxing! This time should be lovely, though.
Hope you're all fabulous, and look forward to hearing from you all soon.
