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
hello everyone
sorry to hear about the problems some of yous are having and i hope things start getting better soon
my son had terrible excema the docs gave us cream that made it worse the only thing that worked for him was to put him on soy milk formula and paw paw ointment gave him a bit of relif
lucys skin was starting to get red and dry so i stopped using baby soap and started using goats milk soap and her skin has gotten heaps better
lea- i am so jealous no one over here will peirce lucys ears until she is 2 and some places wont touch them until they are 5!!!!
bye for now
Tasha
Lea - funky Av, must pull my finger out and get rid of my pg belly LOL..
LL - I might give the pawpaw ointment a whirl because I am a little dubious about using anything from the dr's, most of those exzema creams they prescribe thin the skin layers if used too much.
Well, just got back from the chemist and I'm $65 lighter, eek, I nearly fell over when they told me how much the bottle of stuff was for the reflux. Hmm, wonder how long it will be til I see any difference, and if I do see any diff.. DD is asleep in bed with DF atm, yaaay for a little break, so I went and had a swim. So good to cool off because it's disgustingly hot here.
Catch you all again later, hopefully after we all have a restful night
sorry so long between posts but man where has the past week gone ... i think too much has happened to catch up on personals at the moment so I will do my best to catch up over the next few days .....
My aunt has been over for visiting from Dubbo whilst my parents are holidaying in Tassie so I have been spending time with her catching up and going out a bit and then the long weekend DH had a full 3 days off so we had some well needed family time and him home on a weekend and not working - YAY !!
Have also been working from home too so at the moment whenever I have free time and Ali is sleeping I need to work to get this event and AGM organised ... I have flights and accommodation and registration to organise for all our members and our staff so I will be busy me thinks !!!
Ali gets her injections tomorrow not looking forward to them at all and since my mum is away my aunt is going to come with me for moral support and then she will stay with us and have dinner esp until DH gets home from work ....
Ali got the milk pimples as well and in the heat they flare up even worse than normal .. they have started clearing on her cheeks but are now spreading to the back of her ears etc .. I took her to the dr about them as well and he said they are normal and it can last until she is 12 weeks old but not to do anything to them .... so we have left them and they are s l o w l y clearing up ....
I read somewhere today that chocolate can give babies wind and whenever I eat it I think it affects Ali so my days of enjoying some chocolate are well and truly over I think .... bummer .... but worth it for her to be wind free .... has anyone else know what triggers affect the wind in bubs?
Will try and catch up on personals and I hope everyone is doing well ....
Lea- Thats ok hun, thats what im thinking too, its not milk spots, its like eczema or an allergy but so far, like you were, im being fobbed off, i will write about that later in this post. Poor little Gabby, i hope you have a better night with her. I dont think theres anything wrong with getting babies ears pierced. I hope the 6 wk check went well. Can you beleive our babies are due for their needles soon.
Nic- Sorry to hear you have been down the hospital but i am so happy you have finally got a diagnosis. I hope the meds work well for her. I hear you about the crying, when C looks like shes going to start i want to run and hide, im not used to having a baby like this either and sometimes i just have to let her scream for a bit so i can get things done for the other kids, i feel so bad about it. I think its a good idea to get your mum to come in and help.
Tasha- Its funny you should say about the soy, cos i put C on soy formula on saturday and today i noticed some improvement in her skin. I think i will try putting the papaw ointment on it tomorrow and see if it helps. Thanks for that.
Melsta- Good to hear from you, its been ages since i have seen you around. I hope Ali's needles go well tomorrow. Sounds like you have been very busy. I hope you are getting to rest still.
Me- My chn came today and she said the rash is milia (she didnt have a close look though), but i googled milia and it looks nothing like that at all. This is red, raised and has a texture to it. Its all over her cheeks and head, and her ears are dry and rough. Interestingly, i have just changed her formula to soy and in the last 24 hrs i have noticed improvement, which is what Tasha said helped for her son when he had eczema. My chn said to take C to a paed about her reflux, so i will get onto getting that sorted out. Shes done alot of the swallowing and gulping noises in the last 24 hrs. Today i went shopping and having C upright in her pram helped her to be very settled.
On a positive note, a talk to my OB and a phonecall from my chn to the meds in pregnancy number, found that i dont have to give up breastfeeding to take this new med they have put me on . I had TWO gp's tell me i had too :? Im so happy i mentioned it to my OB. That said though, shes been fussy on the bb the last couple of days and just seems to want to use it as a dummy, i dont think shes getting as much out as normal. So i will have to try and persevere with that, probably express to try and build up my supply if its that. Far out, how can something so natural be so hard.
Sorry to hear Gab has been unsettled, i hope she settles soon for you.
Are you serious? C hasnt even gone into 000 yet, shes still in 0000.
