my goodness what a crazy few days ive had, Caleb hasnt been eating or sleeping, took him to the dr, he has a red sore throat from the tummy acid coming back up and has a reaction to the formula making his throat sore again, so got him some soy formula, infant gaviscon and infant panadol and I have my angel baby back! he downed all of his bottles, slept for hours and last night slept from 8pm to 6.30am!!!!!!! he didnt wake up once, didnt make a peep of noise at all! I cant believe my poor boy was just not feeling well.
He is loving spending time with Grandad, those two get up to no good i tell ya! The smiles and the cuddles that go on hehehe. I will walk in the room and he stops smiling and then my dad said as soon as i left the room he watched me walk out and looked at dad as if to say "yes shes gone, back to mens business!" and started talking and smiling again! what a cheeky little monkey hahahaha!
Its so great having him here, He goes home tomorrow so im a bit sad about that but we will see him again in May and we got heaps of photos, i think dad is in love with Caleb! He just adores him, he said that whenever someone would tell him that their little baby sleeps through the night and never cries he knew they were always lying but he says here he has seen just that and he cant believe it, he said even when Caleb was sick with his sore throat he never cried! He did say though that once Caleb gets up and running its gonna be fun around our house
Well i better go wake my boy, its feeding time at the zoo! hahaha
Jo, glad to hear you're having such a good time with your dad. Poor little Caleb. Hopefully he'll improve now you know he's sick.
Ren, J cried last night on the way home from my SIL's house. It was awful and DH was going to stop so I could feed him and settle him, but we soldiered on to home. It was only a 15 minute drive and he cried for the last 10 but it felt like a lifetime. I find it really hard because Ben NEVER cried and we generally don't let J cry either - unless of course we have no choice like last night Mummies guilt is constant I"m afraid. There's always something to feel guilty about.
Us, we had a MUCH better night last night! I finally decided to let the poor little guy sleep on his tummy. Yes I know it's against SIDS guidelines, but we all just needed a good nights' sleep and I have the motion monitor and J is also able to lift and move his head very easily. Anyway, it worked like a charm J slept from 10:30, I got him up for a dream feed at 3:30am and put him straight back to bed before he slept right through until 8:30!!! The only reason I got him up at 3:30 was because I was up with Ben anyway so thought I might as well try to prolong J's sleep. Of course Ben chose last night to have a bad night Nah, he had an upset tummy so it's not his fault. Tonight though, I'm hoping for another lovely long night of sleep - last night was glorious!!!
Hi gang
im up the beach enjoying my time away from the ratrace,,,was a bit daunting as it ended up being about a 4hour or so car ride,my mum lives half way so we stopped there and feed play etc then we stoped again and enjoyed the sounds of the birds,sunsets and the smell of the bush,nixon woke as we pulled into MIL driveway...
He went down pretty good last night,today a different story,1st morning sleep good then lunchtime one not so good,he was put in car and taken out half hour later so upset the routine a bit,he didnt go back to sleep for a few hours,then home to nanas and asleep on her bed for 3 hours,then nana and pa spoiled him with cuddles and had feed bath and a bit overtired n cranky after bath but asleep in portacot in 10 mins,didnt want much food today cos too tired but tonight sucked down 160ml..little piggy
gorgeous weather here,tomorrow we are off to take nixon to his 1st trip to the beach,is a 3 min walk across the road,then mummy is nickin of for a 3 hour pamper n massage at the day spa.mmmmmmmmmmmmm
me-lisa- i cant recall the exact name of those wedges,i got mine in big w in the babies section,i know kmart sell em and you could try target..
sorry to hear about everyone having probs with reflux,poor little bubbas..
runner- 8km run isnt a marathon to us girls,its torture!!!!!!!! u legend well done
anyway im off for a ****tail and watch a dvd but i be lucky to last 10 mins,tired and today i had arvo nap which havent done in over 6 weeks
p.s-how strong are the miracle blankets jo???? nixon can escape everything...i will buy a dozen if need be if they workk..hehe
Sonie - the miracle blankets are REALLY good, Caleb is pretty strong, he gets out of them sometimes but only maybe once every few days, perhaps its those times that we just havent wrapped him properly in it, but its better than having him escape the wraps every single time. I love that it keeps his hands by his body cos they get cold sometimes.
Well my dad leaves in the morning before Caleb even gets up so i have to be up at 5am, havent been up that early since Caleb first came home from hospital! Im gonna miss my dad, we have had so much fun and Caleb and him had a ball! right, im exhausted, night all!
hi girls,
a horrible morning here. amara will NOT stop crying. We started her on Zantac yesterday lunch time - so she has just had her 3rd dose.............how long will it take for us to see improvements??
This is just so horrible and I know you ladies understand the stress it causes. Take that with also having our son with Autism and it is double the horror.
So is it Ok to give Gaviston also ??? I want to try anything......
We've just had a bad night in our house too. A few friends and I decided to have a girls night out, so DH stayed home and looked after Max. I had expressed 5 bottles, so feeding shouldn't have been a problem. Well, about 11.30-12.00 I got a text asking how long I was going to be cos Max wouldn't take the bottle, wouldn't sleep... I got a friend to bring me home and about an hour or so later we finally managed to get Max to take a bottle and go to bed.
The next 2 feeds he hasn't taken a whoel lot form the bottle either, so I finally caved in about midday and gave him some from the boob - I don't feel hungover, so figure there couldn't be too much alcohol left in there. You can imagine how guilty I feel now about the night out though.
On a better note - we had our latest health centre visit yesterday and Max is up to 5.67kg now. He's in the 75th percentile for weight and length, so getting to be a chubby little thing!
Mummies guilt is constant I"m afraid. There's always something to feel guilty about.
Nah, he had an upset tummy so it's not his fault. Tonight though, I'm hoping for another lovely long night of sleep - last night was glorious!!!
