Hi everyone
hope you all had a good day. Mine was ok although i am so tired I am sure May has reflux to she is showing all the syptoms and is still not settling that great last night i fed her at 11 didnt setlle till 1:30 and then was awake at 3:30 and didnt go back to sleep till 6:00 this morning so i havent had much sleep and am like a zombie right now but have to feed May shortly so am just hanging it out but if she is being her normal self she wont settle for at least 2 hours after her feed. and now she has started to fuss abit with her bottle etc.
Is there anything you can get over the counter for reflux? or do you have to get something from the gp?
Marni does P sleep ok at night?
I dont see the Gp till she gets her needles in about 2 weeks time might have to make one for soon i think as things are getting worse for her she crys when burping and the spew is coming up and i hate that she is hurting.
Anyway i cant even think stright sorry for no personals will pop back tommorrow (fingers crossed i get abit more sleep tonight)
hope you are all well takecare
-
well scarlet had her needles today she screamed but then when u cuddled her she stopped and is asleep now,
i havent given panadol infact i dont even have any if i need it so i may go out later and grba some incase, although i never needed it for hayley so hope i wont now
poor litttle thing i had to hold her cause troy stayed home in bed i felt like biggest meanie :(
i had the dreaded papsmear so awful i hate them lol
-
I hope you don't need panadol traylee.....I have to get some panadol tomorrow, E's needles are on monday.
Caplaylolmay - Did you get a better night sleep last night? I hope so! Maybe you should go see your Dr if you think M is refluxy.....
We had a pretty good night, E is sleeping good at night, I just hope the injections don't ruin that! He is starting to get conjunktivitis in his left eye, but breastmilk will fix that. Cooper had it too, at 3 months.
well off to have a nap...hhope you're all ok....

Hi all
well i actually feel alive today had a much better night after i decided i would try and bath M before bed last night so at around 10:00pm i bathed her and she settled alot better she woke at 3am put the dummy in for a min to get a bottle and came back and she had gone back to sleep so i layed on the couch for a minute expecting her to wake again any minute but she slept till 8 this morning so did an all nighter with out a feed which i am not sure is a real good thing but she has only ever done that twice now and she seems very content today but tonight will be a mystery you just never know what to expect.
Traylee- i have to have a pap smear to as soon as i finish my antibiotics and i get rid of this dreaded thrush down there every time i have antis i get it i am not looking forward to the smear i am kinda over things being poked and prodded in there after numerous swabs cathetdar and everything else. Hope S is ok after her needles i have panadol already on standby for the needles in about a week 1/2 time just incase.
Sleepy- hope E's sticky eye clears up soon none of mine have ever had it as babies but last year DS when he was 4 got it terrible ended up the hostpital as he couldnt even open his eyes there is 2 kinds of it i think one viral one baterial he had the bad one anyway. Glad E is sleeping good for you enjoy your nap.
Not much happening here today the sun is actually shining but it is still so cold.
For those that sometimes have bubs in bed with them do you ever worry about rolling on bubs or anything? i was thinking the other night when we werent getting any sleep of putting May in with me just to get some shut eye but i am terrified i will smother her or something just interested to know how it works for you? as i have came very close to doing it a few times but hesitated because i am abit worried about it.

vaccinations,
ok so scarlet has been sleeping well, and she had a feed at like 2.45 and i thought when she woke at 6 she would want some so i made a bottle and she didnt have it, i gave her some panadol cause she felt a bit warm, but she wont have bottle yet so i put it in fridge, she is now laying there staring at tv kinda making noises at wipeout,
is it normal for them to not want bottles for a bit after needles, i cant remeber with hayley
is it normal for them to be sleepy to
-
Traylee - Loss of appetite can happen with needles, I wouldnt worry unless it is across several feeds. As long as she is responsive and not dehydrated a missed feed wont hurt.
Cap - Phoebe sleeps with me at night. I put her in my arm and sleep on my side. The other way we sometimes do it is to sleep with banana pillow propped on a normal pillow with you lying in the v and her on my chest. I also find she settles better sleeping with us cause when she stirs for a feed I get to her before she is screaming and she feeds and goes back to sleep.
Sleepy - I used breast milk for conjunctivitis when tiana was a baby! It worked well.
Well the Zantac is definately helping P. We had another 3 hour sleep today and she is much more settled. We still have some screaming but not all the time and she seems happier! Hopefully it will continue to help!

Hi! Sorry for being MIA.
Tina - I forgot to reply about food the other day. Yes, some days I am starving hungry and don't get to eat or drink when I should. I've always been a grazer and eat every few hours, but with the b/fing I am hungry all the time. I get grumpy and shaky if I'm hungry too, so I'm not nice to be around. I have been trying to make sure I have a huge cup of water ready where I feed, so at least I've got that. And deciding in advance what I'll eat next so at least I don't have to rummage through the fridge/cupboard for stuff! I actually weigh a couple of kgs less than I did before I was pregnant.
Nappies and Liners - Yep, found out that you can't buy boxes of Infant nappies from Woolies. We tried B in a crawler the other day and, although they're big, he didn't leak. We want to try MCN's, but I'm reluctant before he starts solids too! And, I want to see some before I buy and a lot of them you can only get from the Internet. I've heard that a rep from BBH will come to your house, so that might be the go in a few month's time. Where do you buy liners from and what are they made of?
Marni - B sleeps on his side sometimes, but not on his belly. He seems to prefer his back now though. Glad P's reflux seems to be settling!
Traylee - Yep, sleepiness, and restlessness (so maybe being off feeds) are all normal after needles. Hope she settles in a day or too.
Caplay - Do you take probiotics when you have antis? I take Inner Health Plus everyday. Some reckon that there are other better ones - ask at the chemist when you get your antis as they're well worth taking.
Meetup - I can't make it this week, but if you meet again later on I will try to make it. Have fun everyone else!
AFM - B is still sleeping pretty well, through to 4:30am or 5am after his 7:30pm feed. We are still working on day sleeps as he's harder to settle, but so far today he's been pretty good.
DH and I braved the toy sales yesterday and got a few things for him for Christmas. We've heard the Target toy sale is the best though, so will have to have a look there. We weren't impressed with how narrow the aisles were though - you can't get two trolleys, or a pram and a trolley, past eachother. Grrrrr!
-
yea troy said s woke last night 2 times but settled fine without panadol,
she felt bit warm this morning at 6.45 so i gave her some and she slept till 11.15, then i bathed her and stuff she is alseep now,
hope she repeats other night and only wakes once for him, hope she starts to have good sleeps to lol
she seems to be fine today so thats good though
-
That's good Traylee!
Am I missing something with B? He sleeps for no more than an hour at a time during the day. What are everyone else's bubs doing? I'm not concerned he's not getting enough sleep cos he sleeps so well at night, but am thinking that he's not self-settling at the end of a sleep cycle and is just waking himself up. I'll be glad when DH goes back to work cos he just picks him up straight away every time without ever stopping to think whether he's still tired.
-
i'd love an hour of sleep that wasn't in the sling during the day jleigh. E can manage half an hour then I can spend an hour trying unsuccessfully to resettle her. It's driving me nuts because I'm running around after A as well. She does pretty well at night, but spends most of the day overtired and cranky.
-
Jleigh - A sleep cycle is 40mins, so if P wakes earler than that I try and resettle. She used to sleep for less than half an hour but since she started on the Zantac she will sleep from 2-3hrs at least once a day and shorter sleeps as well. I always leave her to try and resettle before picking her up.
PM - Is she unsettled for a reason or just wants to be held?
Traylee - Hope S is ok now!
Sleepy - Might have to leave Monday and try for the following week? What about a Tues meet, the 13th?
Hi to everyone else!
-
she has been hard to settle again tonight, what did you guys do about the reflux, did u go to dr to get meds, or buy stuff over counter, cause im really thinking i should get some for scarlet the poor thing, she wants bottle lots on avo to night but wont drink it al so im guessing her tummy hurting well reflux hurting it, and then some comes up of course
-
Hi all
Traylee- well i was wondering if there is anything you can buy over the counter for reflux? as i am hanging out till we go for needles next week i think im going to get something from my gp M is the same has just started fussing over the bottle well the second half as i stop half way through and burp well she usually spits it out to be sat up and burped half way.
Day sleeps- M is no problems in the day usually today has been a little unsettled though but normally she self settles and i usually have to wake her for feeds at times or she would sleep all day but come night time and thats when the reflux seems to really play up as i have said can take hours to settle her got the bath stuff organised for tonight right before bed time hope this works again did the other night.
Hi to everyone else hope you all have a good night.
-
marni - she's not terribly unsettled, I just can't get her back to sleep. I suspect she may be a bit refluxy, but it's not a painful wake up. I'm hoping it's a phase.
-
cap im same, fine during day usually, once 2 or 3 hits she plays up till late at night, she sleeps fine during day really,
is this when eveyrone else has dramas
-
We have the opposite, unsettled through the day and in pain and better overnight. In saying that though, she is breast fed and co-sleeps. So I generally feed her as she starts stirring and she doesn't wake properly so doesn't become agitated. The Zantac has definately given us an improvement but she still has moments and wont lie on her back.
-
Traylee does she settle well after night feeds? we have more a problem from around 9:00 feed onwards and then if she wakes at 3or 4am takes awhile to settle also.
Marni glad the zantac is helping P
Wow i cant believe i fed M at 9:30pm and i think(fingers crossed) she is settled she didnt really wake up during her feed
-
cap nah it usually starts from like 2 or 3ish then goes for a ages, but she settles well during her night ones waking,
troy said she only woke once last night, i fed at her 9.30ish and she slept then only woke once between 9.30 and 7.30 so thats good.
what is the zantec you guys using, is it adult one and whats the dosages
