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!
well Mia fed at 4pm and slept till 9! then fed again and had her medicine and shes still asleep now. Ive worked out a good thing with the Nilstat.. i give her a little and then put her dummy in her mouth, then a little more and so on. This means its going right around her mouth and all over her tongue and not straight down her throat. Her last dose she didnt even cry but her eyes watered a little. Poor little munchkin!
I expressed some more earlier but only about 60mls so her next feed is that and then some top up formula.
Im gonna see what the doc says tomorrow about this rashiness... thanks for the advice girls.
anyway im outa here.. get ready for bed and stuff.
mwah xoxoxoxo
ETA - yeh she gets dressed pretty lightly so it doesnt seem she is overheating but as soon as she does sweat she gets a horrible rash, its kinds like she is allergic to her own sweat!! lol my poor rashy, blotchy pimply little girl!
PP ohhh what a night. Bethany was pretty good, here's hoping she carries that on today!
We have the last meeting of our new mothers group this morning Hopefully early in the new year we will find a play group. Well better go start the day!!
Hollye I bled up to nearly 5 weeks and I think with my other boys I nearly bled up to the 6 week mark, so who knows . Julian also has the heat/pimply rash as well, his face is also a bit dryish, so might see the Dr this week too.
Belfie Julian did one of those poo's yesterday, boy it takes a bit to clean doesn't it .
PP Yeah it was cold up hear again last night, I hope that since he had such a bad night last night he might sleep better for you today, I've msn'ed what else I want too.
Well I've got to go to the Dr's sometime this week for my 6 week check up, don't really have any concerns tho so might be alright, don't need a pap smear as I only had one last year, don't need the mini pill as I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't get pg while b/fing.
I love my new hair and the BB dinner on Sat was great too, met some more BBers.
