Babies born July 16th - 31st 2008 #3

thats the problem with forums... People take it too seriously

I was REALLY not having a go. When people are so flippant about something because they simply don't know about it, they should be educated or at least given the option. It's not about guilt, stupidity, anything. It's about expanding what we know - and there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with not knowing either. I didn't say you shouldn't show sympathy to Mel - just that the statement at the end was written without prior research.

This is apparently an open discussion about our babies and what they experience. You're entitled to say what you want without expecting it to cause an uproar or people to get angry at you for having said it. I should also be afforded that right. I was not having a go - just letting you know why making a blanket statement that eczema is simple is not necessarily true. The same thing happened a little while ago re. the cold sores and herpes virus - people pass it off as nothing because they don't know. They deserve the chance to expand their knowledge. It's not an insult to them, just a way of letting them know what it really is about.

As i have already said.. i meant it in terms of with eczma there are treatments for it and am hoping its not some sort of infection that may be alot more serious. I just dont need a lecture about something where i was merely showing sympathy to and was directed to another member.

I guess i'm not entitled to express my opinions then. No probs...

BTW - having spent a few years as a lecturer - that wasn't even close to a lecture. Let me know when you have three hours to listen to an in depth analysis of it and I'll give you a lecture.

I wasn't downplaying the severity of Mehkelti's rash - Mel knows that. I was merely correcting an omission of facts.

Tenny.. we dont have pets but do you mean the fur or your pets destroying them?

He doesn't destroy them.. yet.
I look after my sisters dog during the day. I don't have to but I do and Elijah loves to play with him, etc etc. He's like just over 1. When hayden was first born he was a bit lost but never took his clothes, or anything. He was just curious.
Now 10 weeks on Billy is taking wondersuits, or socks, or anything that I may have in the basket part under the basinette.
I really don't know why he's started this. He's interested in Hayden. He thinks Hayden will play with him sometimes, I reckon. Lol.
Maybe he's just obsessed. I have no idea. Anyone else got any ideas why this may be happening?


Mel - Omg. I had a screaming baby like that yesterday. It's such a nightmare especially when it's hot. Today I've got the normal Hayden back. Thank god! I hope the little miss goes to sleep soon and sleeps for a while & doesn't wake DS up.

Tenny - pmsl - maybe he wants to play dress ups....lol

nah bein serious now - my beagle does this when she wants attention. could be the same? they feel threatened and act out - just like toddlers!!!

hope he doesn't destroy them!!!

[Jewel]

Dressups.

I guess it is attention seeking, hey.
So far so good with not destroying them. It makes me so angry though.

I've been so suprised lately at the way Elijah has been with having Hayden around.
He's really really good with Hayden. Kisses & cuddles and everything. You know how some children try and do things to the baby cause they're jealous? I was thinking Elijah was going to be like that, but not one little bit.

( and YAY! I've reached 1,000 posts. What a coolcat, I am. jkjk. I'm such a forum freak. )

Tenny.. hmm id say hes taking it because of Hayden's smell on them. Maybe its like a new toy to him? new smell = new toy? But yeh maybe what Mel said.. because Haydens getting this attention, the dog may think if he takes all the clothes (the smell of that "new" thing) it will get rid of the baby iykwim? How cute of Elijah! I was the same, thinking Jesse would get jealous.. but hes nothing but gentle with Keira. Its so lovely to see hey. Makes your heart melt.

Seriosly - this goes out to all the babies in the world - if your mummy knows you are tired and is rocking you - GO TO SLEEP!!!!!

ROFL love it, my baby keeps knocking the dummy out of her mouth and waking up and I can tell she is just exhausted!
Phew - what a day - where did it go! We had Beth's 6-8 week appointment this morning.... she is 5kg, length 57cm, head circ 39.2cm and just under 75th percentile.
And I also got a copy of her discharge letter from RPA, which I never got a copy of before (we should have got a copy, obviously it just slipped through the cracks). It was good to have that because it says she only had 'mild respiratory distress' and that she had good respiratory effort at 7 minutes... I was happy about that because from what the Bear said I thought she didn't try to breathe for like 45 minutes.
Went out shopping with my stepmum and baby sister, which was fun and managed to get one load of washing on but the weather is crap so my sheets won't be going on the line today!
Tenny LOL at your dog stealing the clothes and playing dressups! PMSL
bugger it, where did the wave smilie go? now I can't wave at everyone I missed with personals, so to everyone I missed -
