Hollye - My friends and family live in Melbourne, as well as me, but we live on totally opposite ends of Melbourne so it's a two hour drive to see any of them. I do have new friends where I live now, but none of them have kids. All my friends with kids live two hours away! And where I'm living we can't have people stay with us cos there's no room! So I want to move closer to help and people to visit during week days! When are you moving?
PP - Ohh.. maybe I should try a different type of dummy too!
csab - That's great news that Olivia has reached her birth weight! I keep being curious how much Maya weighs now, but her next weigh isn't until she is 8 weeks.
Well.. I finally got dressed at 4pm, did a feed and went for an hour long walk. I grabbed my ipod and cranked up the music. It was very soul soothing! And now DH is home I passed off Maya to him and had a lovely shower. OK.. now to sort out something for dinner.
areyou sure it is thrush and not milk residue? if it is just the tongue and not the rest of her mouth i would say that is what it is.
Try a little h20 after a feed to wash away.
Otherwise make sure you are cleaning bottles teats and your nipples well with warm soapy water as this is where the thrush will thrive. And get some nilstat from you dr to clear it up.
nope.. it is thrush. she has white lumps on the inside of her mouth too like at the sides and i tried scraping the residue off with a damp face washer and i gave her water and nothing changed
i sterilzed allllll the bottles and my expresser today.
Hollye just go to the chemist and ask is there anything they can give you, I think you can get dakadin(sp?) or nilstat over the counter.
to everyone, it sounds as though it's been a rough day all round.
PP If you friends mum thought it was caotic with just Ash running around then she would be mortified if she ever met me, lol. I'm much the same as you, as long as I can see the boys and they aren't in harms way then I'm fine with that.
DH has booked a hair appointment for me tomorrow at 10am, so will be pampered for about an hour and he will watch the 5 boys. I'm so tired so will be back on tomorrow.
thanks Amanda!
we should definately get together one day and let the kids run amuk! lol
HOllye - you need to make sure you clean right to the tip of the teats with warm soapy water well before sterilising. But yes Nilstat is usually what is given for oral thrush. You just put a few drops into their mouth
