Babies Born May 16th - 31st 2008 #2

[Madham]

Well we had a bad night last night. Had trouble settling Hamish all day yesterday he seemed to have a stuffy nose and had trouble breathing. Then last night he had a temp so dp went and bought some baby panadol, we gave him a dose around 11pm he hadnt been asleep for 3 hours and wouldnt drink much from breast as was having trouble breathing so i expressed a bottle and eventually he took it around 12. He slept on and off but at 4am he was screaming again. So i have been awake since 4, he sleeps on and off but chokes and coughs so i dont want to leave him alone. Has anyone tried the nyal salin nasal drops i thought i might give them a go. Got to go he is awake again. Hope everyone had a better night than me.

Abb, we've been using Fess Nasal Spray for Juliette & it's worked really well. I hope Hamish is getting better.

Had our 6 weeks check up yesterday which was a waste of time. My GP was booked out so we went to a different one in the same centre. He didn't weigh Juliette or check her hips or anything & he barely glanced at me. I asked a few questions & found out she has a slight infection in one of her eyes froma blocked duct so she now has drops for it. I booked in her 2 month immunisation And also another appointment for the both of us because that one was dodgy!

Abb- you should try the vapouriser as well... they work wonders... I'm using the "little fess' you get the aspirator sucker thingy too. i suck as much out before i fess and then after i fess aswell... Was also told you can use the chest rubs but only on bubs clothes or use the baby bolsom.

SOunds like there are a few bubs with the sniffles.

Woke up this morning and my right boob is SOOOOO sore... not sure why but i'm thinking it might be a monthly thing as i got a lovely surprise when i went to the toilet... I thought i wouldnt get my period while breast feeding???

Did the shopping today... Tiahna was a gem and slept the whole time until i was about to leave (luckily were only 2 mins up the road in the car... Big W was a mad house- didnt realise there was a HUGE toy sale... all i wanted was dog food and nappies... Took me almost 1/2 hour to get the 2 and pay... GRRRR then cos everyone was at Big w woolies was also packed out...

Sarah... MY GP bookes out very quickly i have to make appointments in advanced so most of my appointments are already booked so i can get the time that i want. Sorry to hear Juliette has an infection in her eye...
