Vic: So glad you had a great day and I hope you have a great child-free night tomorrow night . The past 2 days I have only managed 7 feeds (close enough) Poor you though 10 feeds. Maybe its just his time to move on to formula?? I'm lucky with Jayden that he took to formula straight away and he will take breast as well. Your tip is a great one too...But I always forget LOL We went out for dinner tonight and I didn't even take the nappy bag, not even a nappy and of course we dropped into MIL's house on the way home and Jayden had a pooey nappy!!
Sheree: I'll chat with you on MSN or email you, I have heaps to say LOL. Sounds like our boys have been going through similar problems (except the reflux) Jayden has just reached 5kgs on Tuesday. I should be able to go up your way...never been there before though :eek: You will need to come shopping with us, we know were to get pink shirts LOL or there is alway Ebay haha. I spoke to the Dr about donating my eggs but I'll wrie about that at the end. With Lache's feeds, I'd try switching formula's and see how you go. Did you put more formula in with the same water? That could be why he is constipated?? I know a friend of mine did that thinking her bub will sleep longer when they were going on a long trip and the poor baby ended up doing a hard poo after crying the entire 5hr trip she was only a few months old at the time. Hey is Lachie's Paed Dr Ben? Have I asked you that before? And were you at Child Health on Tuesday too? There was something you said in a previous post that made me think you were there.
Kellee: I got Jayden's shirts from BigW and they went up to a size 2 otherwise as I said to Sheree...there is alway Ebay LOL. Jayden has a heap of clothes (I think most of you have worked that out hehe) and he suits nearly every colour I think....Blue, red, pink, orange.....maybe not some greens....anything really vibrant suits him I think. Good luck with SIL's kitchen tea, I guess you got it all organised ok? Well done for getting all those things done....where were the kids? Surely you couldn't have done that and had them there LOL. Jayden is starting to like just laying on the bed too and me talking or singing to him...he cracks up when I sing "There were 10 in the bed".
Kim: I went back and checked the times, LOL I didn't realise.
The Bicarb tip: SIL #4 is a hairdresser and she said she did this to her daughter (3yrs old now) and it cleared up in no time. I had been using olive oil but was told to leave it on for approx 1hr before his bath, I could never manage leaving it on for an hour so it was for about 5 mins and it would dissappear for about 24hrs then come back. The bicarb does eat away at the cradle cap but doesn't cause any irritation to the skin (depending on your babies skin too) Jayden's skin is reasonably sensitive and he had no reaction to it other than it dissappeared. I put it on him 5 mins before his bath and only did it about 3 times....and his was pretty bad. I noticed today he had a tiny amount again but it has been over a month since he has had it bad. If it gets on clothing it isn't hard to wash out like oil is too. Bi carb should be in every household as it can be used for everything LOL.....from pots n pans to bubby's scalp...hmm good advertising?? hehe
Anyway think I'm going delerioius, its 12.30am, Jayden has been asleep and I need to sleep too.....Oh one mor thing...my Dr's appt
I got a prescription for Domperidone which is meant to boost my milk supply, I haven't taken it yet as I'm still trying the Fenugreek. If the fenugreek and Domperidone doesn't work then it will be formula...I think I have given it a fair go with the BF'ing and enough is enough I can say that I have tried everything. The other reason I'm not going to push the BF'ing too far (if its not working) is because I can't really donate eggs until I am getting AF and know when I am ovulating. Jayden will come first and foremost so I'm not giving up the BF'ing for SIL#5 but if the meds don't work then I can look further into donating. Dr said that there should be no risk to me or having children in the future. I will certainly think about it a lot longer before I make final desicion tho.
OMG We have all done long posts!! There will be a million typos I'm sure but I'm nut fixing them now LOL
