Sarah-Damp houses are the worst my eldest son had croup,asthma,chest infections and pnuemonia constantly when he was a baby until about 5 when we started to relise every house we had lived in was either damp or had mold problems so when we moved to a brick house that was warm with no damp all the problems went away but all the sickness damaged his ears badly (4 sets of grommets 2 total ear reconstructions adnoids out ) but it was all caused from the sh#tty houses we lived in when they were little.
So now we pay a fortune for big bloody brick homes that are new with no mold ect
Wyatt has a sore willy. Not sure what to do?
I feel like such a crap mum! I dont even know if it's situation where you go to the dr or if you just bath it or if there is cream?! Grrr
I'm no help WMM, sorry. Poor little Wyatt. You are definitely not a crap mum - you rock. I know how you feel though, Ryan got an infected big toe from an ingrown toe nail. HOw the heck does a baby get an ingrown toe nail I felt like I had failed him. If it were me, I'd probably go to the doctors just to make sure.
It's the tip of his foreskin. It's all red. It was fine when I changed his night nappy, then he had on a WW MCN for an hour or so, when I changed it for his nap it was all red
I've just had a google and it says it's perfectly normal to get a red 'ballooning' look sometimes. And as long as urine is free flowing and it's not painful it's ok.
Any thoughts?
Chase gets red marks on his willy sometimes at the foreskin and I think its from chafing cos of his disposable nappy, only has the red marks in the morning when I change him over to cloth. You dont use disposable though do you?? Just MCN's all the time?
Jaki-boys will get red on the end from sitting in nappies all the time and it can get damp in nappies dont panic little girls get red fanwahs to just put a little nappy rash cream on the tip and on the out side to help stop the urine stinging it until it settles.
My boys all had that from time to time and they are fine when they reach about 5-7 the forskin starts to loosen from around the top and they can pull it back to clean it
But for now nothing needs doing other than rash cream or if you notice it gets worse.
Oh! and its good to let them have air time with no nappy on i did that and do it with Ella after being in nappies all the time its good to let it air out lol
ferals, it is horrid! were so glad there not renewing our lease. its a brick house but old, we went to flip our matress and the underside is damp so hard waste end of the month, out it gose.
wmm i think that is normal for boys. my 2 always seemed to resolve on its own. just make sure theres no fluff stuck cos that can lead to infection.
AGGHH screaming sick kids, all 4 of them are home sick and looks like trent will have daycare off tommorow to. im going to hope fully put the girls down for a nap, and a 3d movie for the boys. (the HAVE to sit still so the glasses dont fall off! lol) got to try get my quiet time somehow!
Sarah-you poor bugger i remember what its like having all the little ones home sick NOT FUN!!
Ingrown toenails OMG! my 13yr old has had his big toes done 3 times and the last time was quarterised with a horrible machine and it worked for one toe but the other has grown back and is infected again he had to give up soccer they were so bad.
I have never seen a bub with them what do they do for babies teni?
What miserable weather i am home alone with ella bored sh#tless all my housework is done i vaccumed and mopped the floors did all the washing washed our sheets did all the folding and even cleaned the 3 bathrooms and its only 12 oclock
I have my friend coming over tomorrow so i get some adult conversation yeh!
Hi all! I've been reading along on tapatalk, but as Mel said previously, I can't stand using the iphone to reply. It takes me forever to write anything!!
WMM H had the same the other day. The end looked quite red and sore. It went away after a few hours so I think it might have been from his nappy. Maybe just keep an eye on it and if it doesn't go, take him to the dr?
Ugh H is the same today ferrals, only it's been going since midnight. We finally got some decent sleep between 8 and 11:30, then he's been crying again since. I popped him down in bed 10mins ago to go to the toilet and he drifted off to sleep without a peep!
I can't quite figure out if he has a tummy ache or if he's actually teething. He was chewing on my shoulder before while I was burping him, but I'm just not sure if what I'm feeling in his mouth are teeth or not. Do their gums usually feel hard and bumpy or only when there are teeth coming!?!
Hayden is making lots of new noises. He holds his head up and hasn't wobbled for a few weeks now. He bats and holds the danglies on the play mat. He also prefers sitting up now and jumps around on my knee lol. He has just hit 8kgs! Things are going well here (apart from last night lol). We're in a good little routine. I've been going out a lot more with my mother's group women. I've even been sewing and baking again, the washing and ironing is done and dinner is made every night! I feel like I'm finally settling in to this mummy thing!
Hope everyone else is good! I'll try to get on more now that things are setting in.
Mskara-good to see you back in here again it feels good when you can get all your normal everyday thing done dosnt it.
I am the same i cant figure out what is going on with ella she hasnt been sleeping properly for a few days the nights are ok she dosnt play up just wakes every 2 or so hours i just roll her over and she goes back to sleep but i dont know why she is waking so much we had one really good night a few nights ago she slept right through but since then OMG!.
She is happy otherwise but i can see how tired she is and when she wants to sleep is fighting it and then once she goes off she is awake 30 minutes later so frustrating.
I think ella would be about 7+ kilos now she is a porka.
Well its 3:15 and Ella has only had 1 hours sleep since 10am and another 20min catnap she is sooooooooooo tired and brought up most of her last bottle so i am wondering if maybe she has a crook belly she also had really watery poo yesterday so maybe thats it.
I want my good sleeper back please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeh!!!!!!! she put herself to sleep no crying no fuss thank god i put her down turned on her musical mobile and she laid there watched it for a while then went to sleep
I felt like I had failed him. If it were me, I'd probably go to the doctors just to make sure. 
so hard waste end of the month, out it gose.
