Mel - hon, my thoughts are with you . I can only imagine how damn hard it must be for you with James not sleeping at all. Sounds to me like you're doing a great job with both your kidlets ... if it were me I would've gone back to the Obstetrician weeks ago and demanded bub be put back in! Seriously though, try and find a silver lining somewhere in the clouds ... James is a gorgeous kid and he's bound to start sleeping soon. A great idea re: tresilian, and a chiro could be worth a thought if you hadn't considered it already. A cousin of mine had a very unsettled, grumpy bub who cried lots and didn't sleep well. She took him to the chiro and he was a changed baby virtually straight away. Of course, he needed a few repeat trips, but it did the trick. Out of interest, could a family member come and look after James and Emily for a few hours to give you a break and catch up on sleep and/or anything else. :goodluck2: and come and talk to us whenever you need to. You need lots of support right at the moment.
Reenie - congrats on your BF efforts, good for you. Seraya sounds like a delight. Sleeping up to 12 hours huh, wow! Cam sleeps approx 9 hours at night but at the moment he's sleeping very little during the day. Do you find the same thing with Seraya?
CM - hope you and Flynn are feeling lots better soon. I'm in Brissie, but have fun if you're going to the Melbourne catch up.
Bec - how's the motilium going? Hope your having some success getting your BM back.
SG - I loved the pic of Baxter in his Cats gear. I reckon navy and white stripes will feature prominently in our sons' lives!!
well your not going to believe the bad luck we are having, i now have thrush on/in the nipples, i have been really sore for a while now and actually had a look and notice they were red inflammed flakey, all classic symptoms, i feel such an idiot for not realising sooner but the good news is it may be the cause of james being unsettled and while im upset i didnt realise earlier we may be able to fix it ! the pharmacist said if its in his mouth (and it is) then it is through his whole gastro system and would be making him irritable....doh !
i think it has been midly there for ages as bf was very painful for the first few weeks which was unusual and james has been making a clicking noise for weeks also but the early childhood centre or had no answers for that but now i think it may be because suction is difficult because of it andbecause i have been on antibiotics for the chest infection that has really made it flourish which is how the penny finally dropped
so thanks for the hugs (Andie and Catherine) despite feeling crap i do feel a bit better tonight at the prospect of maybe getting to the bottom of the problem
oh and Reenie i also got the violation PM and i thought it was a little harshly worded, like you i dont have the time to fix then to their standards so have removed them both
