Hi Everyone,
I had my 6wk check yesterday. It was actually really nice to see my doc, he's great. Well if anyone has seen my post in the BF section they will know that I haven't had an easy time, and the saga continues...Apparently bub does have mild thrush in her mouth which is contributing to my sore/cracked nipples not healing. The doctor also wants to put me on different antibiotics for the staph infection in my boobs, put acidolphilis powder on my nipples & put Olive back on Nilstat for 10 days. God I hope all this works! Due to constipation I have to take 4000 mg og vitamin c to conteract the iron tablets (anemic after blood loss at Olive's birth). We also discussed contraception which I decided to take the mimi pill. By the time I was finished getting all this at the chemist today I had spent $102!!! Whoever though some sex and breastfeeding would be so bloody expensive! Olive has been a bit unsettled again the past two days and he said it's probably from the thrush then today we went shopping and she got sooo upset like she was in pain, poor darling. The doc also said that alls good for dtd and that everything else is good. Olive passed everything and is generally such a happy baby anyway after a bit of a rough start. To be honest I think the most she has cryed for would be about 10-15mins at a time, she's not a cryer but she does stay awake and grunt and groan in her cot sometimes which is also frustrating at 2am but not as bad as crying. She is also sometimes awake for hrs like last night from 5-11pm, she then slept in our bed till 5 only because we really needed the sleep (DH gets uo at 2:50am for work) then had a feed and back down till 9 so that was pretty good. Mind you we did have a family dinner last night so she got passed around all night. Is'nt it funny how you all of a sudden become so popular when you have a baby, lol.
So we also went xmas shopping today and Olive got a Santa photo, so cute, can't wait to pick them up.
God bit of a ramble, sorry guys.
