Nai - With J's granuloma, I just took him to the local GP and they did it no problems. They use silver nitrate. it was when I lived in Altona. PM me if you want more details of where I went, or if you want any more info about granulomas.
Shell - Lets hope she goes to bed soon. I am sorry to hear about your friend.
AJP/Ali - J was the same. By 4 weeks he would sleep 8pm to 2am, then feed, straight back down till 8am. Ohh it was bliss. I don't think I will be getting it from Miss E though. By 13 weeks, he was doing 12 hours straight.
tarkine - I hope you get a good night.
Miss E is in bed, but I can hear her grunting away in her sleep, so I am guessing another unsettled night with wind/reflux.
A question for all with toddlers - Have you found your toddler waking in the night when they hear the baby? J has woken a few times when he has heard E, but resettled when I tell him that it is just Emilia wanting her milk.
I so wish i could just go straight to bed when E does, but I find that it is the only time I have to myself and try and catch up on things.
Ali- that is a beautiful photo! i agree with everyone else what a PITA with medicare!! u dont need to be screwed around especially with a newborn. how is everything going with DP?? - oh yes i will put my hand up for having breakfast all day
AJP - have fun at the concert!!!
MM - i hope you have a good night... poo about not getting in for another 6 weeks.. i would call them and say look i cant stand to see my baby in pain and hearing her scream is there ANY bloody chance of getting in sooner? and an answer to ur Q : yes logan does wake up and he refuses to go back into his own bed so he sleeps with us and i hate it.
shell - i find it easier if we just go out for the day too... that way logan gets really tired and we come home and he goes straight to bed so i get a little bit of quiet time if im lucky!!
tarkine - i hope u get some sleep also!!!! about the poosplosion.
Nai - what a masiive PITA - i know what u mean by having a screaming baby and a whinging toddler... argh makes u not want to leave the house!!!
Holly - i hope you have a good night tonight!! sounds like we all need some sleep!!!
Kaz - glad to hear everyhting is going ok!!! i will pray that it stays that way for you!!!
i bet it felt good to get out of the house!
det - you are one busy lady!!! so happy that things are all good for you!!
to everyone else!!!
AFM - im going to attemot my birth story tonight... will post it IF i finish it...lol
we have had a pretty good night/day so im thinking tonight will be a bad one...
who is formula feeding in here? im thinking about doing it but im just not sure yet...
will BBL
shell, that's terrible news about your friend, just so unfair Hope Em slept/fed well last night.
Kaz, hope they find out what the go is with all that fluid and that it's nothing serious. I'm like you with the nappies. We have a whole stash of cloth that we started out using but by the 3rd or so day at home we thought *^&* this! So using sposies for now until I'm well and truely settled into this motherhood thing!
Megie how was Emilia last night? Leon went pretty well until the 5am feed and after that he was just so unsettled, grunting and whinging. I actually think he has phlegm(sp?) stuck in his throat as he keeps trying to bring something up but then swallowing it and I've noticed he's got a bit of a stuffy nose as well. Anyone know how phelgm goes away? And can he choke on it??
Det, DP noticed Leon's poo has changed as well, less runny. Why is this?? I'm not doing anything different!
Laura, looking forward to reading your birth story!
Tarkine, lol at the pooplosion! They always seem to happen on me here though
Ali, I can't believe the midwife made such a mistake with your form! What a pita.
We didn't have a very good night, Em kept waking between feeds with pain and lots grunting plus her nose is all stuffy again. At least its the weekend and Df is around, I'll be resting up!
Holly- Maybe try the saline drops in his nose, they're meant to break up the mucous and going thru his nose they'll run down his throat so might help anything along the way.
Laura- Maybe talk to your MCHN about formula if you feel thats the way you want to go, she can help you ween onto it.
Det- Sounds like a busy weekend for you, I think I'm gonna take it easy. I keep telling myself too things will get easier! Hope your DS is ok with his asthma.
Meg- Ash wakes usually once night anyway but been doing that even before Em was born, thankfully she doesn't wake to Em crying.
Kaz- That is quite odd about the fluid collection, have they done scans or anything? They going to try drain it? Hope the rash clears up. It'll be great if J keeps sleeping so well for you.
I'm finding Em alot more unsettled then Ash was at night, Ash used to just pass out on the boob and wouldn't stir til next feed. We did have the odd bad night here and there but no much so harder this time to be settling a baby alot of the night.
Shell - It really shows that they have their own personalities. What one bub did, doesn't mean that the next bub will.
Holly - To me it sounds like he has reflux as well. They sort of make this strange throat noise then bring something up and swallow it back down. It would explain why he is unsettled as well. Typically, a lot of reflux babies sleep fairly well by night, but are unsettled most of the day.
Wow Laura - you were up late last night.
DET - you are one busy woman! I love getting out and about though. Even if I a dead tired I take J out (with E now as well of course) as he is happier and we get a change of scenery.
E is going to go into cloth when she grows into J's stash. He is now toilet trained by day so we are not using nappies any more. (he uses a sposie at night) I didn't start cloth with J till he was about 6 months old, so I am going to wait and start cloth with E then, as I don't want to buy any more nappies. It will be a huge money saver getting 2 kids through the same cloth nappies, then I can give them to my sis. In saying that, most of J's are blues and greens etc, so might have to get a few girly ones!!! (I use pockets - Blueberrys are my fave.)
Well - I am almost too scared to post this, but E slept from 8:30 pm to 2:30am! 6 HOURS! As I went to bed at 10:30, I had 4 hours straight sleep!! The most I have had since she was born. Then she slept till 5:30am, so I put her in with us. Slept again till about 8am, and she is still sound asleep in our bed. So I am stuck in the bedroom on the laptop as I am too paranoid to leave her in here on her own. Might take a shower though, as from my ensuite if I leave to door open I can see her. I bet you she is just tricking me into thinking that she is going to sleep better though. I am sure it is a one off.....
On the other hand, I rang and spoke to J who is at my mums, and he was up half the night, as mum thinks he was having nightmares. He ended up in bed with nanna and pa. Mum said he has a runny nose and maybe a slight temp, so she is going to go and get some panadol. Otherwise he is in good spirits. My poor little man. And we was calling for me in the night!
OK - gooing to go shower and then head to the shops. I want to print some photos for E's book. Oh and my cousin made the most beautiful thank- you cards for E's arrival. I might scan one and put it on facebook if anyone is interested in taking a look.
Thanks Shell & Megie. Just posted a thread on it as well and will go to the pharmacy to get something. It's really worrying me. Megie I thought it could have been reflux but my grandma is convinced it's phlegm but I'll see what the pharmacist thinks.
Wow Meg- woohoo on the sleep! Ah that would be a dream, lol, You're right does show how different they all are, even settling techniques that worked for Ash doesn't work for Em and vice versa so I don't know how some "baby experts" in books and things make out they're all the same.
Poor J, maybe thats why he has been waking of late cause he was coming down with something? A while ago Ash did that for few days then we discovered she was unwell.
Miss Em is asleep in the hugabub again, only way to get her to have a really good sleep otherwise she just catnaps just bit annoying having to carry her alot of the day every day, oops she just vomited in there.
about the poosplosion.
to everyone else!!!
Hope Em slept/fed well last night.
