hey smylie, elouise was born 2nd february. well she doesn't really attack me. she jumps a lot on my lap while standing, which can hurt. she goes for my face. reaches out for my cheeks in a loving smiling gesture, but she grabs and with tiny hands and sharp nails, she has a strong grip. painful. pulls my hair, so i keep it up and away. she also has reflux. its not that bad, but it was enough for me to take her to several doctors to get answers. she's on thickened karicare formula, which she takes well, yet still throws up. not all the time, but at least 50ml vomit a day. which is more than possetting, which she does every feed. i took her to a paediatrician who put her on mylanta, which helped her from the pain of the stomach acid, yet she still throws up. all over me. when we're out. so i took her to a homeopath yesterday and she has two medicines to take, and she takes them well. too early to see any improvement yet. no teeth yet, although about four weeks ago while we were in brisbane, she was teething badly. i went through heaps of the brauer teething relief and bonjela. but i now realise most of that pain was probably reflux. as she had done several large most of a feed vomits. all over dad's armchair and the nice rug. and several on me. anyway, she's not rolled over yet. only from tummy to back which was not on purpose, she pushed up on one arm and tipped over. she's not crawling, but on her tummy she turns direction and pushes herself backwards, but no forward movement yet. hopefully soon. we're finally able to turn the car seat upright, but i still like it rear facing. don't know how to keep it rearward yet upright. she's too heavy to lift over the securing straps to the parcel shelf. does anyone know how to do it? its a safe-n-sound ordinary basic style. anyway its good to meet new people which bubs the same age. i'm in a mothers group in my local area. which has been great. i live in sydney if there is anyone else who wants to meet up. must go, this post is so long already.
