we hi there girls

here we are 6mths today (boo hoo) well 6mths at 11.03pm lol.

took lani for her needles today and mentioned to my gp about her skin on her tummy and back and yup just as i suspected she has excema - thankfully only a mild form so i insisted on a skin allergy test (was hard to get) but i needed it as my ds had allergies and at this age he was allergic to dairy and i was giving him formula which upset him no end until he went onto soy - they tested dairy, nut and soy and thankfully nothing came up - so that is a big relief - i wanted a wheat one done as i am a bit suss on the wheat as she first came up with yucky skin after having a rusk unfortunately the gp does not have the wheat test so i will be getting a referral to the childrens hospital allergy centre later in the year for further testing on lani if required but mainly for ds and his nut allergy before he starts school - need to know if it is life threatening and if he will need an epi pen.

the gp gave me an interesting sheet on solids etc on babies with allergies and i was surprised that it is recommended that corn not be given until 18mths (i gave her a tin of heinz - a few saturday's ago - this is take away night lol) and the next day she got a funny rash on her face almost like someone had pinched her cheeks so this explains it. am also just bathing her in qv and smothering her in sorbelene - so fingers crossed she will grow out of it and it won't spread to her pretty little face, it seems to flare up when its hot so i have to make extra sure she doesn't overheat and just dress her in cotton.

anyway no needles today cause of the skin test so next week she has her shots - we don't like it but she gets over it lol.

hope all is well oh and btw lani went to bed at 7.30pm woke at 12.30am then fed for around 2mins before i stuck the dummy back in then she didn't wake until 7am so hopefully she is going back to better sleeping. i think alot may have to do with hunger she was so cranky today when i was eating lunch so i grabbed a tin of custard and she gobbled it up plus had a breastfeed - so i think i will put her on 3 meals a day.

sorry for the epic - hope all mums and bubs are well, i am off to do my on line grocery shopping - so much easier.
