Back again. Is there a better way to reply to these posts, other than the Reply to thread and reply buttons? Doesn't seem to give a very big window to write in and it doesn't scroll very well!!
Anyway, back to us... Sophie finally had her 8wk vaccinations yesterday and was really good during and after, which was a relief. She is still suffering terrible cradle cap but have been managing it well with rubbing grapeseed oil into it of a night and then washing the flakes out in the bath the next morning. otherwise, she has been a bit snotty and hates having saline sprayed up it and then the asperator put up her nose. Otherwise, she has started making heaps of noises - cooing and karing all the time. No laughter yet but I'm sure it will happen when she's ready.
I took her to the osteopath on tuesday and it appears she has a shortened muscle near her collarbone which affects her neck and left arm. The osteopath, a lovely irish guy, was fantastic with her and was so gentle, talked to her, and made me feel very confident that it will go away with a few exercises which I do three times a day. We will be going back again on thurs for another session and hopefully it will be fixed. I have already noticed her moving her head better and laying on both sides while asleep. He thinks that it was caused by my heart shaped uterus, when she was descending towards the birth canal in the later stages of the pregnancy her head was on an angle to her body, with her head tilted or facing the left side as she does now. Anyway, hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Other than that we are all good. My inlaws arrived on thursday and have taken up residence on our couches again (which is a bugger when you need to sit there to breastfeed!!) My DS is doing really well since his grommets went in. Turns out sucking on a dummy and lying down having a bottle from 12mths of age can all help cause ear infections. DS was still enjoying a bottle in bed at night, so that has had to stop (which he's not to pleased with!)
Anyway, that's enough from me. Hopefully I'll get back on here again soon.
Cheers xx
P.S. Loving the quick catch-ups with some of you on Facebook (and seeing all the gorgeous baby photos!!) Anyone else on there who wants to make me there friend? I'm Louise Chad (or Louise Hine) if you want to look me up.
