these hydro gel discs seem popular, must go check them out..

ok , i dont know what to do , do i give a dummy or not , gab is very windy , she'll feed but gulp down air and then cry in pain , nothing works and she is only settled when she is on the boob , about every 20mins and then just sucks , not feeds.. she will fall asleep , and if you take her off , she'll wake when you lay her down then she needs boob to settle again ..

ihave a dummy here , a hienz baby basic one , its a 0-6 mth one but its huge , she gags on it and its really firm , so i guess i have to dtry another or , do you think this is a phase that will passs,

me soo tired
charmalea - Yep the hydro gel discs are great. A+ recommendation. I got mine at BigW. Woolies don't seem to stock them but BigW had them last week for $5 or so a box of 12.

Chloe has had wind also and she will happily fall asleep without dummy when she is "milk drunk" but we've found it very calming for when she is unsettled but not hungry. We found the larger dummies would catapolt out her mouth when she sucked and so the cherry shaped were best and we just got her the Happy Baby dummies ($3 or so for pack of 3) and she likes these ones best. A few have gone flat but at $3 a pack i'm happy to buy more when she needs them.

Belinda we had our babies the same day & only about half an hour apart!! LOL Congrats on your beautiful baby girl
Danielle_M - Oh how cool and thanks for the congrats.. Nice to know someone else who was going through it at the same time as I was.

Melsta - Yep very small world. When I saw Alicia's name I knew it was you..


US - Well we hit a BF snag yesterday, my milk supply dropped dramatically. I went to OB and he gave me script for motilium so see how that goes. One day I was overflowing, next day zippo..Bizarre is all I can say but as a result Chloe has been quite unsettled. Hubby goes back to work next Monday which I'm dreading. I'm trying to work out how on earth I'll do things like take a shower or make myself food as at the moment hubby is comforting/settling Chloe while I do these things. Going to be a whole new juggling act. Hopefully she is more settled by Monday and hopefully my milk comes back with avengence and then i'll be happy.
