Aibu to have handed my dd over to my dh and refused to deal with things for a while

[Sothisishowitfeels]

I have posted God knows how many posts on here about my youngest Dd (5 months) I just can't deal with it anymore, she is such incredibly hard work she screams for hours on end she comes out in random rashes, she has excema she, is terrible to feed, she wakes regularly at night. She has been in hospital twice already with chest infections, she is constantly snotty and dribbling to the extreme and has been since birth. She scratches herself constanly if you allow her access to her body - she has a bleeding cut on her leg which she did with her own finger despite me cutting her nails down as far as I physically can.

She cuts herself and bleeds so easily - today she had a bleeding cut on her chin which she got from a rusk ffs.

She has non blanching spots which I'm told are petichae but no one is told me why she gets these on her legs.

I have asked our go about these issues but because I have pnd (which frankly isn't surprising) he just asks me how I am sleeping etc.

This is not my first rodeo - she is my 6th child but I just can't take it anymore she screamed for hours on end today. today I have told him that I need him to do something . He works long hours, I know that I am probably asking the impossible but I am too tired to care.

I blurted it all out to him, showed him photos of our day which were various rashes, screaming and cuts and he has said he is calling the gp tomorrow to find out wtf is going on and tell them it's pretty much not in my head which is what I'm sure they believe it is.

He has sat her with me while she screamed for hours solid he knows that she is to say the least difficult.

Was I being unreasonable . I have literally left him holding the baby, he is going to have to take time off work to go to he gp for something that is potentially on my head.

Really hope for yours and baby's and families sake you get good help from Nhs with this. I was lucky as I knew the family history and wasn't surprised (except when the fruit pot I gave her caused hives and breathing problems and her first asthma attack we were in middle of nowhere on holiday!)

Plus as I was semi expecting it I'd prepared with hypoallergenic mattresses etc. ex thought I was overreacting until the fruit allergy reaction! Then he understood why I was being so cautious (I had piriton on standby on a spoon for weaning!)

at Piriton on standby

didn't bloody work either! Had to rush to gps and he took one look and jabbed her with epi!

Do you have your own epi pen now ?

Did until she outgrew the allergies it was for. Still have piriton in and now have hms to deal with too so my place like a bloody pharmacy!

Just to say, that we introduced our son to Neocate formula at 4 months and it took a long time to get him to drink it. It tastes pretty foul so the older they are, the harder it is. We had to start with just 10% of his bottle as Neocate, the other 90% normal formula. And then reduce the % every few days. So it took at least 6 weeks to get him to drink a whole bottle of Neocate. And then a few weeks after that until the results were good (there was a temporary blip in between where things actually got worse).

I live in the Middle East and we used to have to buy ours from a (reputable) online pharmacy in the UK. It's really expensive, so get it on prescription if you can, but before that I would definitely buy some yourself and start the slow transition to it.

I second the putting baby on a blanket when on the floor or anywhere the cat might have been.
Same hair colouring and allergy history - I get a rash when I come in contact with the cat as well as runny, itchy eyes, runny nose and sometimes asthma.
This only stopped when I left home and moved into a house with no cat. For the first time in my life I didn't have a runny nose.
I know it's another thing to try - but if you keep the cat away from where she sits and lies and wipe round with a damp cloth the rest of the place then you are reducing the allergens.

I hope you start to feel better soon in yourself. Book another Dr appointment for you?

How are you both getting on?
