T now has a wet cough Doctor today. I hate this. It was months and months (actually, I think it was well after the 12 month mark) before DS had to visit the doctor, so this is sucking arse quite a bit.
Thanks for your words about the BFing issues, it's really helped! I had a good few days where things were going grand and now she's mashing a bit again. Just gotta clear the mucous from airways and we'll be good again. She's stacking on weight, so it's not an issue that way, it's just poor me who's copping the abuse! Oh, and she's unhappy in the evenings when it gets worse. She'll sleep fine, but she's just not happy after a coughing episode and there isn't much I can do after topping up the humidifier.
She was weighed again last week by the MCHN and she had grown 6 cms since birth - no wonder the 0000 are no good to us anymore! I think she might even end up being as tall as DS.
EC'ing is going great, no wonder other cultures haven't bothered with nappies - nappies are not liberating at all! Still loving my Mini La La's for outings, and using flannel flats at home (which are mostly being tied back on dry after 'peeing' T on the chamber pot. Really, I'm not rushing off to work every day or some such thing, so this is a good way for me to connect with her and she's ever so grateful - she gets so narky if I miss a cue and she wees in her flannel nappy! Oh, and it's really lovely not to have to wipe poo smeared all over a bum as well as deal with pooey nappies all the time - catching 98% of them (don't ask me how I came to that statistic!!) in the pot and putting them down the drain where they belong.
Better finish my coffee now and get on with clearing this house for Open on Saturday. Will have more time to contribute meaningfully after the weekend when all the crap has been stashed in the shed!
Hope everyone is travelling well
