whoa watta day!

Mia's oral thrush doesnt seem to be going away which means shes not sucking. She will down about max 50mls in her bottle and its just too sore to suck anymore. So off to the chemist i went. Got some more Nilstat and some baby panadol. Just gave her a dose of panadol and shes sound asleep and sucking on her dummY! she wasnt sucking on thaat either coz of the pain. Poor little munchkin. So it has been a rough couple of days. I went and got some heinz nurture formula too so ill give that a go.. was only $18 and after i brought it i seen it at big w for $12.. oh that always happens. The BFing seems to be phasing out. Frankly with all her other issues atm i just dont have time! We will see how it goes. Mum wants me to try the NAN formula but i can only find it in the GOLD variety, does it come in a normal one??????

anyway off to have a veg in front of the telly.. or not.. shes awake again.. ho hum

hollye
i am not sure if it comes in anything other than gold?

Ashley is now on the amcal brand of formula - well until this tin is finished then it will be straight cows milk.

katones - i would let bub feed more frequently during the day so he will be full by night time otherwise he may get into a 4 hrly feed cycle and will wake for those over night?

NOPE it only comes in the GOLD... that is what we are using.. our Paed said if formula is the way to go that is about the closest to breast milk with all the added pro-biotics etc in it....

PP Jack is taking 120mls per feed... i have put him on 3hrly during the day and we are back to co-sleeping at night for now... and when he co-sleeps he sleeps from 10pm-6am

Just in case you wanted to know I was a NAN raised baby, can't tell you what it tasted like though or if it was good....don't remember!! LOL Bethany is on S26 just cause that is what was being used in SCBU when she was in so I figured we would stick to what she already knew.
I just put some christmas things up!! I feel almost festive....almost. Got a sweet christmas outfit for Bethany, just need to find the strength to face the day with the in laws.........
