Good luck Soph, sorry to hear that you are both not getting the attention you deserve. No matter what it is mother knows best so they should listen to your concerns and react accordingly. How frustrating. Big Hugs.
orange - thanks for asking. The christening went well. I will post a pic in the gallery in the next few days.
Ren - I think there is something on immunisations on 7's Sunday tonight. It's a hard decision but my view was that he could suffer more if he doesn't have them. I work witha lady who's daughter had whooping cough at 5 years old and she said it was the scariest thing. Like orange I have no regrets about giving Sam his needles. But I do respect every Mum's decision so not wanting to debate the topic iykwim.
Soph - I'm with everyone else, keep pushing until you get answers, I'm sure blood in his poo isn't normal surely someone will do something for you. I'm sure you'll be proven right in the end.
Ren- Owen had his 2 month needles and like the other girls I think the effects of not having them and catching any of the nasty diseases outweighs anything else that may be in them.
Last night was much better, he slept from 6.30pm until 3.15am, think he was so tired that he went out for the count. Now lets see what tonight brings..........
Does anyone re settle their bubs when they wake under an hour during the day? I read that it's very difficult in babies under 6 months, but I think that may be the problem with Owen waking at night so am going to start trying to resettle him when that happens. Wish me luck!!
Shell - Re settling, I am just trying to get Max into the habit of sleeping longer during the day. I can't handle these 40 min naps. But, I've had to be out all morning and going out again later this arvo so DH has been babysitting and has not tried very hard to resttle. Also, when I'm out and about during the day it's not really possible. I am going to really try to give it a go this week though.
Ren - I agree with the other ladies about vacs. For me, the possible consequences of not vaccinating outweight the possible complications from doing it. Did anyone watch the Private Practice episode about the kid with measles a few weeks ago? Mum didn't vac her 2 youngest cos she thought her oldest got autism from the vacs. Well, one of the younger ones got measles and died. Obviously that's an extreme situation though (which is entirely fictional!).
Soph - Hope you get some answers real soon!
Has anyone else done a first aid course. I went with my sis and cousin today to a 4 hour thing run by St Johns. It is specific to kids, and i's not an actual course that qualifies you as a first aider, but it gives you a basic idea of what to do if something happenswith your kids. I found it very worthwhile.
Now in another half hour I'm off to do a preparation thing for Max's christening. Busy day!
hi Ladies,
how you are all having a good weekend...
Hair loss - Ren, I am glad you mentioned it too as it is happenning to me also!! can anyone find out why? ARe we not getting good enough nutrition or it is hormonal??
Ren - where abouts did you see the house you liked? we are still looking around also but it is so hard - we want to be fairly close to Logan's school, but that also limits us.
Amara it seems, does not like the car for long periods. We went out today, but she cried most of the time. Oh well, not nice at all to listen to them cry like that.
I am sad about moving Amara to her own room, but also nice to think of having our bedroom back for us. I cannot believe my bubba is 12 weeks old already.
better go, she will no doubt be awake soon, and will take her out in the jogger, which she loves thank goddness~!~!
