We use S26, We did use S26 Alpha Pro but after talking to our babycare nurse she and we thought it was causing constipation for Bethany. We switched to the normal and haven't looked back.
we are using NAN gold pro.. it is what Jack was fed in hospital in the SCN/NICU (well same brand... he was on premmie formula even though he wasn't premmie it had higher calories in it)
hollye She seems to have a sweat/heat rash on her forehead. Is there anything, like creams or something i can get for this? I cant seem to get it to go away. She is also very rashy on her face and quite pimply... is anyone else bub like this?
Jack has a rash on his cheeks/neck/forhead... he has excema/dermatitus... Dr said to put sorbelene on him but if it doesn;t go we will be trying a steroid cream. We are seeing our paed tomorrow... so shall see what he says....
formula: karicare normal (NOT the gold - was told it wasn't necessary for us, but he's only getting comp feeds so apparently get's omega 3's through my EBM & doesn't need 'em in the formula). I also heard that Heinz Nurture is very gentle on little tummies but haven't tried it.
X has hormone or milk pimples - i've read not to put anything on them but his skin was very dry and sorbolene wasn't really helping it. Paediatrician told us to use Dermaveen Moisturising lotion (and QV wash/oil in bath if using anything) and his skin has been HEAPS better. DH has exczema & dermatitis, so we're fairly paranoid re skin care. Dermaveen sits near change table and then I try to put it on him quite regularly.
BTW, X did such a big poop the other day that when I changed his nappy, a) it had leaked out the FRONT and b) I could hardly see his little willy for all the poop! Just had to share that with you all
Hmm Amy - weird on the GTT dunno why no-one told me to do it at 6 weeks - was on insulin also. Go figure oh well - I'll just keep eating chocolate
I can't believe it but Maya went down at 10pm last night (when normally we can't get her down before 11pm!) and then slept till 5.30am when she started making noises but i didn't get up to her till 6am. I put her back in bed at 7.30am and she then slept till 10am. Though I think this will be a once off occurrence which was caused from not sleeping enough during the day. Today she's had more sleep, so I don't imagine she'll sleep through again. But gosh it was nice to get some sleep!
I'm not looking forward to tomorrow when DH is back at work for a week. Everything seems a little easier when he's around.
amy - Sounds like you've joined the 6 week phase. Hopefully it doesn't last too long!
kuraiza - I hope the gastro goes soon. It must be so hard looking after Jude and being so sick!
