Heaven - found this on a website re poo
"If I drank caffeinated coffee I found I couldn't calm my daughter down," says new mum Kim McCarthy. "When I went back to decaf, she was fine." If a baby is allergic to something you've eaten, you may see a reaction on her skin (rash or hives), in her breathing (wheezing or congestion), or in her stools (green or mucousy). Ask your health visitor for more advice." Apparently fussing bubs - going on and off the boob are a sign of over tired bubs - I've got one of those grunting himself to sleep at the moment. He also gets unsettled/windy/redfaced when I eat something he doesn't like - coconut, too much chocolate etc. Also his bum gets quite red from garlic and chilies.
Laura - sorry to hear its mastitis - could that be affecting your milk supply (sorry really don't know diddles about mastitis)
OP - thanks for the advice on the Ergo - I did try putting DS into it as you described but he kept looking at me like I was crazy or something and decided to stick his elbow out onto the strap (yep I got messed up with getting him in).. Will try it again tomorrow. Sorry to hear that bubs was so unsettled. Definitely worth waking DH up to get him to give you some 'out' time. Great news about the jeans - I haven't dared put on my pre-preggie clothes yet, but getting sick of wallowing in the mat clothes. Will try the clothes on tomorrow when its a bit cooler here.
AFM - got out of the house today - our pram got a flat tyre, so DH had to fix it yesterday and we walked the 2km to the shops - the most exercise I've done since January and it nearly killed me, but I did it and now feeling really tired but good. Just heard a major bottom burp happen in the bedroom from DS - and more grunting happening, so I'm not going near that nappy, without a biohazard suit.
