PP - yeh Mia wouldnt go near the fancy dummies.. spits them out too. She like the tommee tippee big chunky ones. She wont take any others.

Question for u girls.. I think Mia has thrush in her mouth. SShe has little white lumps in her mouth. How do i fix it? wat do i do? is it hurting her?

[PinkPalace]

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.

But i would say it is milk residue hun!

[[M]umma[M]ia]

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.

also i dont have a doc appointment till monday arvo.. is there anything i can get from the chemist in the morning?

[AmandaJ]

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.

hugs xoxo

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

thanks girls.. geez no one told me being a mum we freak out about EVERYTHING!

PP - im going to replace all my teats today anyway as i heard once they get abit of thrush on them u cant really get it off and its not worth keeping them. Its ok they arnt very expensive.

Kuraiza - fenugreek are pills. they taste bad enough as it is, no way i could have it as tea.

good night here.. freezing cold tho! what the hell is the deal with this weather.. brrrrr
Mia fed at 11:30pm and 4 and thats it.. shes still asleep now. About to go cough loudly to try and wake her tho coz we need to go out and i like to let her tummy settle for atleast an hour before getting in the car!

so off i go.. talk soon xoxoxo
