We had a lovely afternoon in the mountains yesterday with our friends. It was really warm in the sun. DJ was great and didn't winge at all. He loved being outside in the sun. We are going up to see them again on Friday so Doni can do some electrical work for them and they are cooking us dinner.
Trina - life changing - hope all is ok with you and hope you feel better after the horse kicked you.
Prama - thats great on the pumpkin and tofu. When Steve sees him again he will fully be on solids
Everyone else, hope all is good, sorry it is a short one....
Matt got antibiotics for his cough/virus thing but coz jazz is so young she can't have any. Hopefully though if Matt gets better that will give Jazz a better chance at fighting the virus. She's generally happy, just with a bad cough.
Tonight she was really eating her food rather than playing with it. She ate all her veggies and wanted more so I gave her pured apples. At first she made a face coz it was different to what she's had, she quickly decided she liked it and ate most of that too.
FYI antibiotics dont work against virus's, only bacterial infections.
It is possible that Matt has a bacterial chest infection hense the anti's, but Jazz has a cold which is Viral and the antis wont work with them... even though they may look like they both have the same infection, it could be different.
Also babies at this age cough a lot due to their dribble, they dont manage it as well as we do and therefore they cough a lot more as it trickles down the back of their throats...
Has anyone looked into Baby led solids? I am thinking of heading down this path instead of the mashed/puree foods. think that it is more the way i would like to do things.
Trina hope you are OK
Hi everyone else
Sorry its a short one.
feeling tired and run down
Osteo with MJ tomorrow
I am ok everyone thanks xoxox got kicked in the boobie not sure if that can damage milk ducts??? anyone know?? as well as ribs stomach etc i was so upset esp after having other dramas just before it all. Was very upset that this horse is SUPER quiet and the kids walk around him all the time and it was just a freak thing that frightened him and if it was them it would have done some major damage cos he is so big.
Might be asking the obvious but what is baby led solids SJ? sounds interesting.
Jazz would be allowed anti's if needed might be viral like sj said.
Summer's teeth are clearly visible now they are very very cute, still bothering her as they have to push all the way up so still lots of dribble, chewing and red cheeks, luckily no sore bottom and/or the runs
I'm off to clean the house seems to be a nightly ritual i have at the mo.... gets it all done when all are in bed and it's quiet.
Yeah, it's viral so antibiotics wont work. Matt said that the doctor said that it looks/sounds like they both have the same thing, but there has been no research on suitable treatments for babies hense why Matt got prescribed something and Jazz didn't. I ended up ringing the parent helpline to find out if there is anything they could suggest to help relieve her sore throat but they just suggested all the things I'm doing: panadol, vaporizer, very small amounts of cough medicine. I'm happy she can have the medicine. it's not recommended for children under 12 months, but the pharmisist and doctor at work looked into it and said that it would be fine to give her 0.3ml twice a day. I give it first thing in the morning and just before bed. There is a bit of alcohol in it which I guess helps her sleep so I don't mind that.
They both have to go back to the doctor on Thursday.
While Matt's still feeling bad, I'm gonna try doing the overnighters even though I have work in the morning. Shouldn't be too bad though. Apart from last night, she sleeps all night anyway. Ah well, I've started drinking coffee almost every day since I've started working. I used to only drink it every few months.
hmmmm.. the suspense thickens.. what is baby led solids?
trina - do get some rest.. did you go see a doctor? is summy chewing on teething rings etc?
danni - when lakshman was sick and the paed said eh had viral infection, she gave him some anti-histamines, but still said it would take abty 10 days to get better.
poopy did a pumpkin poo just now.. eeeewwwwww
oh yes, danni - he also got a cough mixture, which helped.
and hope you feel better after the horse kicked you.
