Once again its been days since i have had time to log on here. Its school holidays here and my days seem to be full of appts. I feel so bad that i cant keep up with whats going on with you all like i did when i was pregnant.
We have been trying to sort Chardonnay out, she's still very unsettled. We put her on AR formula and it didnt do anything, so we put her on S26 Soy formula and so farrrrrrrrrr she seems alot better. If this doesnt work then i will try goat formula as a last resort.
Does anyone's babies have spots on thier faces and heads? C does and she has very dry, scaly skin on her ears too, like exzema or dermatitis. Im wondering if she has a milk allergy and its coming out in her skin and with her being extemely unsettled with reflux symptoms. Its so hard isnt it, you just have to use trial and error until you find what works.
Im getting a bit closer to fixing my stomach issues. Got the biopsy results and i dont have the helibactor bacteria, which is sort of bad really cos if i did i would be on antibiotics now and be on the road to recovery. One of the biopsies showed white blood cells and the recommendation was to test me for celiac, which means no gluten if i have it. I had the blood test for that on thursday. I also have to go on a stronger antacid which means i have to stop breastfeeding I cant beleive that, i finally get breastfeeding working for once (even though its not exclusive BF, i still feed her every day) and now i have to stop it cos of medical reasons. But i cant not take these meds, we need to get the inflamation in my oesophegus down, so need the stronger meds to do it.
kel- I would ring up the ENT and plead your case with them to get Lily in earlier, poor little girl, i know how horrible it is, i went through 7 mths worth of it with Ren
I hope you are all well, sorry no personals, soooooooo much to read. One day i will be able to keep up.
kristi, around six weekd babies hormones go a bit crazy and they come out in spots/rash/pimples/dry skin... gab is starting to get "milk pimples" too so try not to stress.. well done on feeding C for this long .. with all the troubles with your tummy , you have done well to get this far
woah.. gab is so unsettled i cant do anything to get her to settle..and bf isnt going to well atm either... im at the point where i want to stop, but gab wont even take ebm from a bottle.. atm at night she feeds then sucks for up to an hour, if i take her off she wakes again... and she wont take a dummy .... argh so stressy atm
Lea - Arab has been really unsettled since last night and I have been unable to settle her either. DS cracked the shytes this morning because she wouldn't take the dummy in the car, she just kept shaking her head around and not sucking. Hope you get some rest.
Kristi - I am off to the dr's with Arab today because she has a heap of spots that are now in her ear and have started weeping. Will let you know what he says.
Well, as I said to Lea, Arab has been so unsettled, which is very out of character for her. Am starting to wonder if she may have a bit of reflux because she vomits heaps and has started to get really upset just before she does a spew. I did get a bit of a fright in the dim light last night, I thought she had vomited blood but it was a heap of browny mucous. She doesn't sound chesty and she is bringing up lots more this morning.
Better go and get ready, man I hope she doesn't chuck a tanty in the car.
Hi Kel:
god idea to talk to the dr if you feel the need, at least that way someone else is looking at you not you just trying to judge yourself. To answer your question....not sure when it gets easier with the kids, but i think its "you" that changes not the kids, i can just cope with no sleep.....One of my kids will wake at least every 1-2hrs i can not remember the last time i got 4 hrs in a row, but i am just so se to it now
Kristi: Congrats on feeding so long, you should be proud.
Lea: Thanks for your text. Tom is screaming beside me (nappy off time over im guessing LOL) so watch out for pm.
US: had a good trip to sydney. Am tried now.... Got to airport 6pm - flights all full so went to hotel, Tom down at 10, Grace awake til 11, tom fed 1 eve awake at 2, still awake at 4 so get kids all together, at airport 5am, home at 6.30 due to DLS! and we have to do it all again on saturday LOL...im insane Eve had mozzy bits, i think thats why she has such a bad night
Thomas is such a good little boy, going great guns. Thomas too is out of 000. will have to weigh soon
Sorry i missed to maany of you. will do better when DS is not screaming LOL LOL LOL
Lea- C has had these spots for ages though. Its only just dawned on me that maybe its something else than hormone spots. Who knows, i will ask the chn when i see her next Sorry to hear Gab has been unsettled, i hope she settles soon for you.
Nic- Thanks for that, i will be interested to see what your dr says about the spots. Sorry to hear Arab is unsettled too, she sounds like C gets with the head shaking. I think C has reflux too. I hope she settles for you soon.
Milly- Sydney sounds full on, well done for coping with all that, it sounds like the kids were playing tag. Thomas is out of 000? Are you serious? C hasnt even gone into 000 yet, shes still in 0000.
Me- C did an ENORMOUS vomit this morning. Ebonee was feeding her and i went out to the bin and came back in and E was crying saying C is sick mum, shes sick. E was in quite a state about it all. I went over to them and C was covered from neck to toe in vomit, E was covered in vomit and the couch was covered in vomit. She must have brought up most of what she had just drank. Poor E thought she had done something to her, i had to explain to her it wasnt anything she did.
i hope both you and nic get the spots sorted, seeing as nixon was soi robust at birth i never imagined that anything could go wrong with him , until around 6 weeks he devloped ugly spots/rash .. it then turned into "baby exma" and by the 3rd doctor i had seen i was worried as each other doc dissmissed it as "milk pimples" , the 3rd doc told us it was exma and treated it with in days .. he was covered in it . poor boy in the qld heat , it was not fun ...
Kristi : i cant believe myself that i forgot about nixon having the exma .. it didnt even click that it could have been something else the C may have .. sorry about that .. best to get it checked and if your not happy with the answer go somewhere else ..
milly .... how fun a weekend away with 3 young ones ... hope you got that drink in the end
well , since about 4 am this morning Gab has been awake with the farts ... phew they smell off ... she is squiming and i have to keep picking her up becasue she wrrigles off the pillow i have her resting on .. she also has a huge blue ring around her mouth....a moment ago she spewed and i can smell it .. bleugh for somthing so beautiful , she sure puts out and odour..
touchy topic here , but yesterday i had gabriellas ears pierced..she did really well and screamed for about 2 secs before i put her ont the boob and she was fine..she got gold studs with her birth stone in them ..DH thinks she looks so pretty in them and could not stop looking at his litttle lady ..
might try and see if i can get to the docs this arvo, get her 6 week check done, i cant wait to see hoe heavy she is , im guessing 4.6 and 51 cms .. and i want a referral to a nice LC who will help me with my sore bb ..
Well, the honeymoon seems to be over here. Gone is my placid little baby, she screamed for nearly 4 hrs last night. We were sent straight to the hospital from the dr's yesterday because she still is jaundiced, the spewing, screaming and the rash on her face.
They are pretty sure that it's reflux and she got some medication for it. We did speak with a surgeon because it may possibly be pyloric stenosis causing the projectile vomiting. My son had pyloric stenosis and we went through months of hell so am hoping that the meds do something for her.
It also turns out the rash is exzema, geez it doesn't just rain here, it pours
Lea - LOL, no cute smelling baby here either, A just stinks of vomit and poo all the time. I got my DD's ears done when she was about 14months and it looked so cute. I would get A's done but she has the exzema all over and inside her ear.
Kristi - Yep all of the above for Arabella, reflux and exzema. She has got some thrush on her tongue too, so I'd say that's why she's fussing at the breast so much. Last night was so bad with her screaming, I am just not used to it and didn't know what to do. The worst part is that I have no one to hand her to when I need a break. Am thinking of getting my mum over for a week because I haven't even been able to get the kids to school on time or even cook a meal for them - feeling a bit like a failure today.
Milly - Oh how sad that Thomas is out of 000's, Arabella has just gotten into 000's and they are still a bit big on her LOL. Girl I don't know how you do it, good luck on Saturday.
Aaahh, off to wash the gazillion bibs, blankets and suits that are covered with spew now. Talk later. xx
I cant beleive that, i finally get breastfeeding working for once (even though its not exclusive BF, i still feed her every day) and now i have to stop it cos of medical reasons. But i cant not take these meds, we need to get the inflamation in my oesophegus down, so need the stronger meds to do it.
Are you serious? C hasnt even gone into 000 yet, shes still in 0000.
