    Nettie/Fire So I guess when it comes to plastics since we are forced to use plastic so much now as adults since they stopped making glass softdrink and glass milk bottles etc I've probably already created a lot of the problems for my kids before they even start having a bottle.
    True. I wish I planned the pregnancy cos I had plans to detox first. The plastics mess with the baby's hormones (and ours!).

    but as for hand/thumb sucking, DD often does this while i'm actually holding her; maybe she likes getting a double comfort dose!
    Ci tried shoving his silky in his mouth with my nipple the other day! Best of both worlds I guess

    Nights are worse, days are better. We moved back in with DH and DD got her own room. *sniff* All this wishing she'd grow up and now I wish she'd slow down. Typical. Anyway, so this room change has messed him up and he feeds every hour after 3am. But his naps have gone great. I persisted in putting him in awake. If he protested, we ditched it. But we don't use anything like a dummy or breastfeeding to sleep. I give him his silky and he rubs his face against a terry nappy (more about that coming up) and goes to sleep. But he has to be really really tired to do it. I had to wake him this morning and yesterday after a three hour nap!

    He has severe eczema on his scalp and face. It is really sad, and what I have been focusing on lately. So now I am on this diet, Gods help me:

    lamb
    turkey
    yellow and green squash
    rice
    pears
    potato
    sweet potato
    salt
    maple syrup

    :eek:

    Two days now and he has improved a little. I'm on it for two weeks or until he improves, then I introduce a food one at a time to see which was the offender. I think it is soy, wheat and/or dairy. I've taken photos to show progress.

    I thought I'd post on both threads, copy and paste, and somehow try to keep up with both sides. I'll no doubt have to pick a side for my sanity though, so if we all abandon ship to the left, I'll follow.

    i don't think an oversight has anything to do with regularity. i do my best. sorry if i'm one who has upset you, Beatrice. things aren't easy for you right now so i'd hate for you to feel that way.

    Me too.

    I was just quickly replying to a conversation earlier in the thread and didn't even look at what had been posted today.

    alittlegrubi to be perfectly honest i'm really not that tired, 5 nights out of 7 I usually get a really good nights sleep. The day sleeps though was short lived.
    BabyWrangler that is a huge weight gain, will found out tomorrow how well Oliver is going.
    Nettie Oliver seems to have a bit of a red throat and Dr said that could be why he is fussing with his bottles, so hopefully he will be back to himself in a few days.
    shellbell you are doing a fantastic job with working and looking after Luke, good on you.
    Beatrix would be great if you could stock up on some BM so that exDH could take all the girls and give you a much needed break.
    Fire hope you find out which food is causing the eczema
    Shoegal Those bottles are so expensive though, who could afford them!

    not much going on here, listed all my maternity stuff, Olivers bassinette, bath and Angel Care monitor on ebay last night.
