I'm feeding Wyatt just now and can hear him swallowing massive pockets of air :( we will pay for that later. The LC this week said he is having alot of trouble regulating my flow which is really fast. Poor wee mite.
Oh but if you ask my Biatch of a friend who was so rude on my fb update yesterday it's me giving him wind from eating chocolate. Or for having a fizzy drink. Not quite sure which she was implying.
Take that Jaki friend lol

Thanks for the info on measurements for Zantac guys. I gave it to her around 4 yesterday and no screaming last night! Yayy!! Plus she didnt have random cries during the night and she actually slept! Only woke up once!
Dummies - we use the happy baby one here, it's the first I try and was recommended by a lc as being the best for not getting them confused between that and the nipple. Mind you, when they get a mouth full of teeth I switch to the tommee tippee ones cos they are a stronger latex - less chance of them biting it off in their sleep. Dd1 is my only one that wasn't a dummy fan, she would only take the nuk brand and stopped taking around 6 months. DS was made to give his up just before he turned 3, dd2 still has hers at 17 months.
Jak - what a nasty friend! I know chocolate can upset bubs, but I think it causes tummy aches - not anything wind rated? Hope he doesn't get too windy for you.
Saturday yay!! Shopping day!!
Hey ladies,
I use advent and Nuk. I am a fan of Advent but only the ones that are shaped like the Nuk. Jak, all suckies look like that in Canada. It is recommended by dentists for when the baby's teeth are coming in and provides better suction. Kind of like a retainer, going under the roof of the mouth rather then pushing against the gums. I did not know any better until I came here and seen the bulb ones... They looked out of this world, so can totally understand how you feel when you first seen it!
I think K does not like the suckie though.. Hope you guys are all having a good day.
Kylz, nope won't be going to the Springwood one. : (
Jak when I eat choc,oj or onions c gets an upset tum, not wind.....well I'm pretty sure. Although I've found I can have a tiny amount and she's fine. Glad the zantac is working for the bubs on it. Crap night here, have 2 whingey girls who seem to hate sleep here! Can't wait for DH to get home from work!!!
I dont understand how people can decipher any particular thing that effects a baby without alot of trials unless they only eat that one item all day and nothing else. It's like figuring out an allergy, you would have to stop eating everything and the reintroduce things one at a time to be able to say that a particular thing undoubtably affects them.
:(
I'm 90% sure c reacts to chocs,oj and onion. On the days I have too much of those things she is feral. And not just a bit upset, screaming in pain for hours til she poos it out :( in saying that, like u said the only way to be sure is eat only a certain thing and see how they react. But bugger that lol
It is alot of effort but perhaps out of curiosity I won't have any choc for a while and then have heaps ;)
His wind has been better since developing a new feeding position for us with the LC... Basically he sits straddled over my let and then lays up my body and goes straight over the nip. Then as his guzzling slows I can relax him to the side a bit.
Unfortunately thus possy doesn't work on the left, only football hold or I have to drop it straight in his gob from above! Rofl. But the left is never full so he doesn't guzzle :)
Jaki-all my kids have loved loved loved the happy baby dummies i tried all the fancy ones and they just wouldnt suck them the only thing i had trouble finding was the newborn size they sell the 0-3 months and up but the newborn one is tiny and not in stores so i ordered them on line and got a whole bunch Ella loves them.
You sure that friend of your is still your friend now?
Arimeh- it's awesome isnt it when you find the reason for them being unsettled and in pain and can fix it.
AFM-had another great night with ella feeding without a problem she just drinks comfortably she had a bottle at 6pm 12pm 4am and went to sleep no problem after she woke at 5:30 for her dummy and then was up at her usual 7:30 it has been bliss so i make sure she gets every drop of her medicine.
Ella hates it and tries to spit it out so i came up with an idea to try.
I mix 2-3 drops of honey with a few drops of hot boiled water to dilute it then mix her 1ml of zantac and suck the lot into a dropper it makes the total volume to 1.5mls and slowly give it to her and she sucked the dropper dry this morning so got the entire dose of zantac.
I hope it is ok to do that but it works for her so a little(.05ml) watery honey is going to help it go down then im all for it.
Careful about the use of honey ferrals - not supposed to introduce it before they are 1 cos of the botulism risk xxx
But yes it's awesome - she's stopped fussing at the breast too! I did have an idea of mixing her Zantac with a bit of breast milk, so maybe you could mix it with a teaspoon of formula or something? :dunno:
Jak - I still use the football hold here, can't master the other one yet, I seem to smother her with my boob lol
Arimeh-yeh i just read that so i will have to find something else to disguise it with.
And what the hell to all those mothers putting honey on there babies dummies my girlfriend does that i better tell her to google honey and babies so she can see for herself.
I might just mix it with a bit of infants friend she likes that.
Anyone still bleeding i am it tapered off at 4 weeks to very light almost non exsistant for a few days so i thought it had stopped and DH and i got some loving in but then it started again a few days later and hasnt stopped and it's still red blood and i am having period like pain with it i only ever bleed for 4 weeks with my natural births.
I know a woman who dips her babies dummies in honey. Coincidentally her older one has just had all her teeth ripped out at 4yo.
Ferrals I'm starting to wonder if she is still a friend too... Her Bub is 5 weeks older than W and when she was born we send a card and gift. Got nothing in return for W. Then while we were in coffs I text all my friends to meet up for lunch to meet Wyatt and she didn't even bother texting to say they werent coming.
Mel I find football hold so awkward. But I am a gumby :D
I know lots of people who's kids have had there teeth pulled from going to bed with cordial bottles honey on the dummy ect my boys all got boiled water bottle to go to bed with then when they turned 1 they got a sippy cup the only thing i ever used was gripe water which is sugar free and my boys have never had a problem with their teeth my eldest is 18 soon and not one filling.
My mum sugested glycerine as its sugar free also to mix with the zantac anyone heard of glycerine it's supose to be a sweet flavoured liquid but healthy and sugar free i have not seen it maybe my mum is thinking of many many years ago lol.
And she definately doesnt sound like much of a friend.
I can only do the football hold with a boomerang pillow, not too practical for out in public!! Meanwhile c is feeding every 2 hours, driving me nuts!!

OMG Cordial in a bottle? Do people really do that?
They shouldn't! But, each to their own.
E was so sore and in pain yesterday afternoon after her needles. It didn't seem to bother her until about 4pm. One leg has 2 marks on it (lines, though, not one big redness) and around that time yesterday they were a bit raised and hot and very very sensitive. Poor little thing couldn't feed on the side that she'd be lying on that leg.
She had her last feed at 10pm, but I had to pick her up and dream feed her at 3 because I had milk everywhere! She slept til about 7ish. I think she may be putting her self in a pattern! Oh, that would be awesome! I sleep with washers in my feeding top, but that didn't stop it! It made my flat sheet wet and I had to change my top. Then I sat up for the next hour and hand expressed both sides coz they were rock hard, the left side more. It was so painful :( I managed to express 120ml, 90 of that just from the left.
Dr told me yesterday to rest. Today J has been good, but he's not listening anymore. He'll do things that previously he knew not to do (like run out on to the road - which he did twice yesterday and there were cars coming :wall:) Today I found the carriage to his train. But 'he' found it. He thanked daddy for putting new batteries in said train... which I did coz DH wasn't home until about an hour ago. He took off out the front this morning while I was hanging out the washing. I told him where to find the blocks for the above mentioned train and he would just reply "Where, I can't find it!" with out even looking. Then when I directed to the right cupboard, he still couldnt find them, despite them being where you could blantantly see them.
Apart from that, I got 4 loads of washing and the dishes done.
I gtg, J's not even listening to DH now, he's being rough near E :rolleyes:
scone: that sounds like a good sign E is getting into a pattern all by herself. I thought C had a nice sleep pattern going on but now its all over the place again.
tams: unfortunately I'm pretty sure my BIL did that or something like that. From what I remember they put milk in bottles with chocolate quick for the kids before bedtime...I will not be taking food for baby advice from them obviously lol
lou: I have to football hold C on the right side, he hates that boobie for some reason and the only time he wont play with it is that hold. Like you said its bloody tricky to do without pillows.
ferrals: I bled for about 6 weeks, but mine was a really light flow and dark blood. couldnt wait for the bleeding to be over and just when i thought all was swell AF came along, stupid AF lol
jaki: im going to try that hold and see if C likes it, I think I worked out what to do from your post :)
just bought the happy babby cherry dummy and after a few tries C is sucking :) and he hasn't popped it out yet, woo, now I just need to get him to realise that when he gets this dummy its bed time buddy. oop spoke too soon he is screaming his head off now lol
