Raffy - I kinda had a feeling about you and PND as you probably recall me telling you to get tested. Regardless of what is going on in my life, I AM HERE FOR YOU. I am on FB a hundred times throughout the day so just Inbox me. If you want my mobile just let me know. I had PND and I survived. Just take each day as it comes. Make sure you get outside to do nothing but sit, take a walk as often as possy. I would say try each day but I know even a simple thing like that can be overwhelming alone. There IS a light at the end of the tunnel, just a few twists and turns to get to it. Start a journal and write your feelings in it. ILY Raffy and have been concerned about you since you mentioned how you were feeling and how you were not handling things weeks and weeks ago. You are NOT a coward for taking meds and esp since you are not even wanting to hold Cooper, it could be a good idea. I had one on one counselling here in my home as i did not want to do group or meds as I needed to remain in control. That was my big thing ----control.
Pretz - a suggestion......wait till as close to 6 months as possy as their gut is not ready for food until then. Most babies cannot handle food at 4 months which is why we are recommended to wait until 6 months. Bailey started at 5.5 months, got the worst constipation even though I chucked him on the boob straight after his food. I stopped it for 2 weeks and started again and he was fine. NJ started at 5.5 months and was fine. Also, they still have a tongue thrust (I think that is what it is called) which is when you put food in their mouth and they automatically push it out with the tongue. It is not that they don't like it (prolly dont anyway as it is new to them) but more because they have not yet learnt to swallow anything more than liquid. It is trial and error and just take it VERY VERY slow. ILY and hope Peter can come home soon.
Okay, Alannahrama is getting sleepy and I need to shower.
