That my exclusively breastfed DS3 has been diagnosed as insulin dependent diabetic!!
He was preterm at 35+4 weeks. He had massive amounts of phototherapy due to rhesus disease. Was given parenteral feeding (TPN). Had a blood transfusion at 7 weeks.
Suffered from asthma from todderhood after suffering from croup. Was on inhalers and inhaled steroids about 5yrs old. Asthma seems to have gone.
Dad was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthrirts last year. Was diagnosed with diabetes on 22nd Feb and is now on insulin injections. How very dare he. He was exclusively breastfed till 20 weeks - should have been longer but I didn't make it.
He was due to get MMR tomorrow - thank goodness he was diagnosed this week or i would have blamed vaccination.
Life is shitty sometimes - even though I know it could be worse....
