    No gastro signs here thank goodness! phew!!
    Plus took evie to get weighed today and she's put all the weight she'd lost back on! the nurse said i need to cut out night feeds to encourage her to eat more during the day....oh i dont know if i can do it!
    BTW this nurse told me weet-bix are fine at 8mths, unlike the other nurse who said wait til 10mths.

    Well... we have just returned from the dr... Chelsea has the biggest rash all over her body and the runniest poo's ive ever seen a child do. I have had to change her clothes 5 times today and 2 showers. Dr says nothing can be done..and she has a viral infection, but im to stop giving her milk. Only to offer water or juice.

    Poor possum

    oh KimBaz - how is your preggie nose coping with Chelsea's nappies right now? you poor thing!
    wow, no milk at nine months, i thought milk was crucial at the age our bubs are, unless it's just no milk whilst she has the virus. Your washing machine must be going non=stop with all those clothes changes etc for Chels, so much for a preg woman taking it easy! Sounds to me that's only a luxury for the first time you're pregnant.

    Christy - hope you aren't getting mastitis

    When i read the Lilypadz ref, i did a double take - then i realised there are Lilypadz breast pads, and there are also Lilypads mama pads. Not positive of the spelling, but the name for both SOUNDS the same.

    Do you think if a mum with a nine month old can't get it together enough to do any cooking and is being sustained on weetbix, toast and drivethru - is that PND, or being lazy? I seem to function well enough to feed and change my bub, do laundry, and very little else. I get adult contact by going online with forums like this. I feel overwhelmed by everything and budgetting, housework, cooking ,cleaning, is all just not getting done, or a little bit done by dh. we are in such chaos, i thought i would be back doing at least some of that stuff by now. I usually am a keen gardener, for the first time in any place i've lived, there are weeds in our back yard as high as my waist.

    On to 2nd clothes change already

    Her lil bum is so sore she screams to have it wiped. I made a post on here.....some said keep up with milk, some said no...so i dont some researching and got the same info

    Off to the chemist to buy gastrolyte today....hopefully it will help and it will be gone asap. No idea where or who she got it from. We are ok...but she has copped a dose of it.

    For the moment good old sposies are doing the trick....i was going to start on the cloths..but til its gone im holding off!!
