April TTC girls! Where there's a new baby! Tons of BFP's! And lots more to come!

Il try that, most the time he goes himself to 2/3 hours.

Am going to speak to the HV too tomorrow as I've heard they are the best people to speak to in this situation and there the one thing I haven't tried.

When did the blood stop?

Problem is I was told I can't feed him more than every 3 hours sometimes he goes 2 and a half but sometimes he will only have 3
-4 oz and sometimes he has 5oz.

And I thought the worry would stop once he was here!

Thanks guys.

Lulu, it's probably that but I am rubbish at spelling!

It's just the bloody poo I'm worried about. Did your ds have tht cupcake?

Midwife has said I can have an appt at the hospital Friday if I'm worried so I will do that if he's still got the runs. But I feel like I'm wasting everyone's time as no one seems worried at all

Oh ducky sorry to hear ds is poorly. Hope he gets better soon

Ducky, is that the same as Gastroenteritis? If it is, it is very common. It is inflammation caused by the effects of a bug or virus and very easy to get. I had a form of it over Christmas and it was very uncomfortable but it just wore itself out. I didn't eat at all for two days and was sick and running to the loo. It took about 6 days to feel much better and then I went into labour!

The thing you need to watch for is dehydration in babies and children. Cupcake is right - don't overload his system. Little and often. Hope you both feel better soon.

A&E if you'r worried . I normally wouldnt encourage people to attend a&e like that but you've tried all other routes and done what they said . My friend said she ended up in a&e on so many occassions with her baby

I think that sounds about right tbh, he's had his temp taken and all his chest and everything listened to and his stomach felt and thy looked at his poo

I feel a bit better now but I just hope he feels better soon my poor little man

How do you feel about it? Do you think they've got it right? Mum knows best! If you are worried at any point I would take him to A&E to be honest. Does he have a temp or anything or just gastro symptoms at the moment?

Been there, they said it's gastrointeritus (sp? ) which can also cause temporary milk intolerance (also causing the colic/reflux) if he's still having problems Monday he may have to have some fluids

He said at this stage there's not much point in changing him onto the milk intolerance formula as it takes them a while to get used to that and this only lasts around 14 days, he's had it for 7ish days so far

I've got my FX that they sort it out today for you, are you seeing the GP again today?

And I have seen 4 different gps at the practice and nothing they have done has made a difference at all. None of them seem to know a thing about babies

Thanks siarie

They just called back, they want to see him first.

Am sat here in tears because something is wrong and nothing's being done

Ducky GP's are pretty crap, not all of them but it's really hit and miss. I have an allergy to wheat or gluten (when not pregnant) and I went in and they did some test and it came back negative (which it often does). I was still having problems so just stopped eating the offending items and everything went well, I still never got a proper diagnosis.

Now that I'm pregnant my immune system is suppressed and I can eat all those things without any problems at all. So I know i'm allergic to it, but what I'm trying to say is they just don't seem to spend too much time on people at the moment. So it doesn't surprise me that they are the same with babies!

Keep pushing the GP or try swapping milk yourself and see if that helps.

This might be better :)

Morning by the way lol!

Thanks for your help guys I have been posting just about this recently but I am just so worried.

The gp said the other day it's not an allergy as he's not screaming after every feed anymore but he screams at night and has the blood in his poo which is like mucous and he has a rash on his face and behind his ears which I beleive are all symptoms.

Am just waiting for a call back from the gp and am asking for a referral to the hospital. Bet il have to argue for it tho

Pahh sent that too soon, that link describes allergy symptoms but the milk formula suggestions are all american. Let me see if I can find anything on google.

I'm using cow and gate im going to ring the gps for a call back and ask for another referral to the children's ward.

The hospital said they aren't worried because the gp isn't concerned but them gps seem useless with babies! He's had more appts there than I have in 5 weeks!

I'm so fed up

Ds has had diarrhoea for the past few days, it's now turned mucousy with blood in (he had blood in before too) I've took him to the gp, midwifes, hospital and back to the gp who all say it's fine, but that doesn't sound right to me
