Ali - so proud of you and we are all here if need us
Kylz - forgot to mention that prescriptions are included in that medical rebate so keep ur receipt
Hi everyone else
Afm - omg jack just went 5hrs between feeds he never has done that, normally it's the first stint that's the longest and I thought I was in for a bumpy night as he only went 7:15-10:15 where it's normally 4hrs. But omg the wind that's coming out of his bottom!!
Iona - yay for a longer sleep. You can never tell how the night is going to pan out.
Sarah - I can't hand express never have been able to. The electric pump I use doesn't hurt very much you can alter the strength of the suction for comfort.
Oh no, blocked ducts again on both sides...grrr. It happens at least once every 2 weeks. It usually gets worse before it gets better
Kitty-my 3 boys were the same they loved their nappy off and would kick and goo for ages half their newborn photos are of them with no nappy on but miss Ella hates her nappy off she loves her pants off but has to have her minnie floss covered (i hope she stays that way) lol.
Iona-woohoo for longer sleeps Ella is up to 6 hours most of the time now except for the morning she has her bottle at 3am and is up at 7am for playtime.
I know that if babies are proven lactose intolerant you can get a doctor to right a scipt for formula to get it cheaper what about reflux formula as it is soooo expensive.
AFM-Had a good night ella slept from 3pm until 8:30 then went back to bed at 9:30 and slept until 3am so almost 6 hours without a peep.
Mel: How you going with all the kids? Everything settled now?
Ali: HUGE hugs to you. I really admire your strength. Great to hear you will be getting out and about, trust me it makes all the difference. xx
Jak: I posted in the cloth nappy forum as I never even realized there was one! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Wish I could of sent you the girls weekend away invite!
Ferrals: K got his shots yesterday, popped into the chemist and got the panadol the day before and they said to wait so I did. K had the worst red face and cried for a minute then put him straight on the bottle, he was fine. Good luck with whatever you do darlin, just make sure you have the bottle handy xx
Sammie: Hope your well and everything is going good.
Ella: How did you go at the doctors? xx
Kitty: Everytime K gets naked he is not happy. Wish I could give him nappy free time. Sounds like he is going really well.
Kylz: Booo to your dh. Seriously you are my hero, I cried through K's injections! When he gets his done dh will be taking him. No way could I do it. Btw how was Caboo?
Lisa: K still has one eye blocked.. It is off and on and drives me nuttah. Could not imagine two!
Sarah: You amaze me each time I read on here what you been up to. Your a busy girl but glad to see your enjoying it and also not listening to what that child health nurse said. : )
Iona:Yaa to Jack and his 5 hours! You never know this could be the beginning of something. xx
Hope: I am thinking of you. xx
I have been flat out working out determined to meet my first 10 kilo goal by the end of June. K is great. Have not been on here much and just trying to keep busy. Sorry if I missed anyone. I think of you girls often. xx
Hi everyone, hope you are all well. Quick me post.
Chloe has silent reflux feel so mean not picking up on it earlier. Have to wait til Friday to pick up the losec as it takes a couple of days for the chemist to get it in. Had to get,my stitches taken out. Ouch. Wtf no one told me that, they were getting infected cos they needed to be out, and was so sore and itchy. Felt like a d*ckhead. C is 4.7kgs now
diet and exercise starts tomorrow!
Oh Ellas mummy! Your not perfect!! Do not feel like a ****head! Sorry to hear about the silent reflux. : (
If you did decide to join ww seek out my blog. I felt like posting my weightloss on fb as it can really inspire but I think I will pick and choose who can see it as I am not sure I want everyone to see those pics!
xx
EM - don't feel mean bout the silent reflux, its quite common to not be diagnosed before 6 weeks anyway. And ouchies to your stitches that sounds really painful, I would have thought they would have been disolvable ones and didn't think they would need to come out - shows how much I know! LOL
Tams - I would love to see your weightloss journey, I really need to get started on mine, I'm hideous!! Btw, kids are ok, we have good days and bad days. Yesterday was a BAD day. The day before was a good day. Today - yet to be determined.. LOL
Ferrals - I can't believe she goes 6 hours between feeds during the day! None of my bubs have ever gone more than 4 hours between feeds, even when they started solids at 6 months. Is it because of the reflux formula do you think? I had Eden on it for a little while but it made her constipated and didn't help with the vomiting so I switched her back to a normal one. She was on lactose free for a while there too - took me ages to get one that made a difference.
I was going to write more, but I have a toddler whinging and crying at my knees and Sahti is asleep in the carrier (thank god for carriers otherwise she would NEVER sleep during the day) so I have to go. Especially now that said toddler is pulling stuff out of the toy cupboard...
Just a quick one as i am trying to get stuff done while ella sleeps.
Ella had her needles and screamed but settled as soon as i put the dummy in poor bubba.
And the doctor said because she reflux he gave us a script for neocate formula it is suppose to be peadiatrictians gold and if you have a HCC you get 8x400grm tins for $5.60 i took the script and relised he gave me the advanced formula for bubs over the age of 1 not the newborn one so i will ring him tomorrow i am not sure i want to change her formula again as the NAN AR and NAN HA seem to be working at the moment.
But it would be good for only $5.60 for 8 tins when i am paying $25 a tin now even though the tins are half the size 8 would be about the same as 4 normal tins.
Arimeh-Ella goes 6 hours most of the time but every now and then she will want a feed an hour earlier and it is not effecting her weight she weighs 5.2kg now that was clothed weight so she would still be about 5kg her HC is 38cm and her length is 54.5cm so my girl is a little shorty.
Ellasmummy-Sorry to hear your bub has silent reflux to it's not nice is it.
Tams- no diet and exercise for me yet i am off to have an u/s monday for retained products doc said noway should i be bleeding this heavy almost 7 weeks later.
OMG can't believe so many of our bubs have reflux!!!
Tams where do I find your blog?
Ferrals that doesn't sound nice, but glad they're looking into it for you.
Mel, I know its not from here but my friend always used to tell me she felt sick when bfing st the start, and I thought she was a nut!!!
Wow I was thinkin the same thing ferrals! All these poor bubbas! H's symptoms seemed to go away when we changed formulas last week, so I've been monitoring but think he's ok. I'm glad Ella is ok after her shots :-)
H slept for 8hrs last night :-O he's been sleeping most of the day today. I'm beginning to think something is wrong! lol. He's still eating and temp is ok, so, I guess he's just catching up after the last few days. Also, I asked the MHCN to weigh him at mothers group this morning and he is now 7.2kgs with clothes on! Crazy. He's actually way off the chart now. She said I shouldn't be concerned, and we can just monitor it for a while.
Well i just researched Neocate at $50 (at our chemist) a tin it sounded like the perfect formula for reflux and at only $5.60 for 8 tins on a health care card i thought you beauty BUT! i read some pretty horried stories of how bad it smells and tastes and babies refusing it and one lady said it was like giving her baby redbull so NO THANKYOU i will stick to NAN AR and NAN HA i mix 50/50 and Ella is 100% better no fussing or crying and no arching her back and neck and no constipation but i will say her farts STINK to high heaven i keep thinking she has pooped her duds but no just stinky farts.
Ellasmummy-I know i am so over the bleeding it is just constant and heavy has been for 3 weeks straight now so in 7 weeks i had 5 days of almost nothing and then the rest of the time its been full on
ferrals: LOL hopefully not a reflux thread. Chase doesn't have reflux That I know of. He barely vomits, only cried once today and that was because I was taking too long to get him the boobie. He just has an outrageous amount of gas that he is exhaling out of his behind like its a race though LOL
Ali: thats great weight gain for H. I think C is only 6kg, gettting him weighed tomorrow for the first time since 8 weeks. C had a huge sleepy day today which is weird cos yesterday he was so unsettled. I'm thinking growth spurt, yay!!
EM: what the heck? they didn't use disolvable stitches?? even worse they didn't tell you they weren't disolvable??? weird. you'd think that would be kind of important. And poor little Chloe as well, although at least now you can do something for her
tams: wooo ur an inspiration for starting your weight loss journey already. every time i think about working out the old excuse 'my scar still hurts' lets me off the hook hehehe
Kylz: poor J at least you know now and can help him
Well DH just came home and put C to sleep so im about to watch Glee and enjoy myself all on my own though our baby monitor is broken and its ****ing me off grrr
I'm still wondering I W has reflux too! Dr's next week so we shall see...
He has had a shocking day... Fussing, whinging, fighting the boob, stiff as a board, screaming, spitting his dummy out, puking everywhere!
Wouldnt even go down for his nap
Waaahhh. He had just nodded off now but only cause I'm laying next to him with glee CDs playing.
Had a horrible day yesterday. E slept for a total of maybe an hour and a half. I was ready to put her up for adoption! I just wanted someone to come over and hold her. We piked and all went to bed early (7:30!). I heard her grizzle and fuss for about 5 mins, then nothing until 3:30! She fed for an hour (on and off), put her back to bed then DS can't find Pop (his granddad) - coz obviously he's at home in his own bed - and DS crawls in with us.
Today is a better day. Got some photos taken for a newborn package with Little Images. I'll pm you shortly Louise with the details. E was still off all day. Hates being put down, or being asleep. But I'm not as stressed today, which is a good thing. My house can just stay a bombsite until Friday.
Enrolled DS in swimming lessons - the YMCA had 50% off this term! woo hoo! And tomorrow, I'm actually going to join a gym! Scary! I was going to, then I decided not to because creche is extra on top of the gym membership price, but there's a coupon ad thing in the paper for 6 months free creche with every new membership in May. How can I say no now!? lol
Get my results tomorrow of my ecg and blood tests.
Tam - what's your blog. I have one (three actually) that I have fantastic intentions of keeping updated, but find I have no time! I will get back into it!
ok, im doing it. im going to go the doc sat for the 6 week check, and possibly my first ever pap, now were is the icon for shiarting myself???
