Runner: It is OK to take both Zantac and Gaviscon...they do two different things. Gaviscons helps with the vomit and Zantac takes the acidity out of what is left. The two work well together. It took Dash a good couple of days to settle. He is on 3mL three times a day. If he misses even one dose (or doesn't finish the bottle with the meds in it) the rest of the day is a write off. Hope Amara feels better soon.

I too haven't had a wonderful morning. Just finished crying on the phone to the manager of major shop about their door lady - I have made an official complaint. She saw me take the time to pick a trolley for DD where the buckles do up properly (the sixth trolley was suitable). I would normally take the pram but my boot latch has gone and I can't get the pram out!! Dash was in the sling. We in the store for maybe 2 minutes and a bent down to get something off the shelf. DD got out the trolley - she can do this quite easy because she is hypermobile and can squeeze herself out of anywhere, even her car seat.

She was about 3 meters in front of me and I was chasing her with the trolley and Dash in the sling. We got near the door and the door lady could see me coming (most door people would see what was happening and try to help stop a child I'm sure) and I said, "I'm gettig there, I'll be back with a smile". Instead of letting me go without a fuss she insisted I stop and have my handbag and sling checked. So much so that she even put her hand on my shoulder and was using her other hand to peer inside the sling so I couldn't just run for Dash's sake. She said, "I know she is running, this wont take long!". Are you kidding??

Meanwhile DD has gone out of sight so I threw my bags at her and went running after DD. I think that this is just disgusting and so does the manager - especially with a 2 month old in the sling and me running. They are reviewing the video footage now as I speak because she was not allowed to touch me and they are angry about what she has done. Anyway, rant over.....I feel better now! On a good note, DD is insisting on going to the toilet and I got one of each this morning yeah!!! Hard work looking after a refluxer and toilet training a toddler I tell you lol!! Don't think I will go out again in a hurry.....it is the hardest thing I have had to do.....shopping with a toddler and a newborn....and I am used to having 25 schoolies in my care 5 days a week! This is sooooo much harder!
