Poor lulu lol at nipple!!
Rob managed to fracture his eyelid at 6 weeks old, in his bouncy chair on the worktop and bounced off!!

Forgot to say. Better night last night. Euan woke at 10.30pm for bonjela and dummy, woke at 6.45, bonjela and dummy and woke at 8 :) Had 3oz from his bottle this morning, then 4oz in his cereal so quite a lot this morning :)

Owch at the escalator liz!

klou I love those dribble bibs! I saw done similar ones in next last week and considered buying them but those are so much nicer, and cheaper.

Hi to melly madkatz and gruff

Well last nite was poo again. Last feed at 6:30. In bed at 7:45. Up at 22:30, 1:55, 4:50 and then 8:20. Im tired. I used to put him to bed after his feed and he just went to sleep but now he cries and I have to go back and settle him :(
I've pulled a muscle or something between my neck and shoulder blade and it's killing me. Paracetamol doesn't work so it stopped me sleeping. Deathwarmedup.com

KLou111 · 19/01/2012 16:01

Have you got some deep heat iwish always worked for me when I pulled something :) not nice.

Is Joshua teething do you think? Do you think it would be worth putting something on his gums just in case?
Had to buy some more teetha powder, nearly run out!!

OP posts:
Iwish · 19/01/2012 16:20

Aparently can't use deep heat while BFing klou. Nick has been to work today and picked up a herbal rub which does the same thing so I'm going to try that.
Yeh I think he is teething, he has had a tooth bid since he was 7 weeks old. I do put bonjela on sometimes. I debate about if I should give him a bit of calpol before bedtime just in case but I'm not sure it's a good idea ?

What is the powder? Do you mix it with something Into a paste?

KLou111 · 19/01/2012 17:05

I did wonder if you could use it after I put that.
No, you just pour it in out of the packet. It's nelsons teetha. Ashton and Parsons is another one but hard to get.
Nothing wrong with giving a little calpol :)

OP posts:
KLou111 · 19/01/2012 17:07

They're individual little packets in case you were wondering lol!

OP posts:
Iwish · 19/01/2012 17:47

Lol! So you just rub the powder directly onto Euans gums? I'm guessing you have to get it it from the chemist?

Had Joshie weighed today and he's now 13lb 13oz. 10oz in 2 weeks! Yippee!!

KLou111 · 19/01/2012 18:25

Nah just pour it in his mouth :) I get it from boots.

Good boy Joshua, I think Euan must be around 19+lbs!!

SpaghettiTwirlerAndProud · 19/01/2012 18:45

Ouch liz I'm glad lulu was ok after that! It's good that you and chris are ok now too, although, wtf? He wants another baby?!

klou how the hell do you fracture your eyelid? Ouch!

iwish I used deep heat loads when pregnant and breastfeeding Blush oops! Can't believe he's 13lb 13oz! That's only 2lb smaller than poppy, she's on 25th centile.

Well I'm starting to dread feeding her now, she has discovered her teeth :( she bites. On the upside she said babababa, dadadadadada and my personal favourite, m m m m m m mamaah :o

lizandlulu · 19/01/2012 18:58

ahhh bless poppy for beginning to make sounds!!!!!! and ouch on the biting!! has she got teeth come through then?

i was loooking in lulus red book and violet is the same weight now as lulu was at 35 weeks!! she was like poppy, skinny minnie

i have put some bits in the for sale section although i shant hold my breath. whenever there is something i want to uby, it is always gone, yet if i try to sell anything, no one wants it!

Iwish · 19/01/2012 20:09

Might get done of that klou. Sounds easier than rubbing bonjela on his gums. He just tries to lick it off my fingers lol. Grin Wow 19lbs! Good boy Euan!

Lol melly! It's got some drugs in in that you can't take while BFing. I wouldn't have known but asked someone. Got some herbal stuff now. :)
Joshua is on the 9th centile. He started off on the 50th but he just dropped about 6weeks ago. Bless poppy. She is so dainty isn't she.
Ouch about the teeth tho. We still use nipple shields so hopefully Joshie won't bite me lol.

liz How many weeks is violet now?

lizandlulu · 19/01/2012 21:47

shes 26 weeks today. i have started giving her dinner now too as well as breakfast and tea. she doesnt eat all that much, and today all she has done is blow it back at me! i think thats all to do with her teeth

SpaghettiTwirlerAndProud · 19/01/2012 22:03

Yes liz she has 2 teeth, front bottom ones. The first came on the day she turned 20wks, and the second came the day she turned 23wks! She's 31wks now.

On tuesday when simon got called to work he didnt get home till 11.40pm! He got called out last night too, at 11pm. He didn't get back till 2.30am! Some guy had a heart attack at the wheel and crashed his car :( i'm not sure if he died though.

Honestly, some of the stuff simon and his workmates have to deal with after accidents is gruesome. One bloke has cleared up smushed brain and guts before, from a lad playing chicken on a busy road in lincoln. You wouldn't think roadworkers would get these sort of jobs to do would you?

KLou111 · 20/01/2012 10:01

Eeeeeewwwwww melly no I wouldn't think it was their job!!! Surely police should have special people that do that. Grim!!

Well Euan slept through all the way last night til 6.25am from 6.50pm, hurrah, left him 10 mins then dummy in, up at 7.45am so hoping we are back on track :) His teeth don't seem to be a prob today, no rosy cheeks either.
Having around 20oz milk, still not liking the bottle much though.
Really enjoyed swimming yest, not been for ages. Euan was a lot more playful with the toys etc too. And the water was warmer which helped!!

Been having a look at his weight chart, is usually 75th centile and if he still is, he would be 18lbs, 2oz. Could do with weighing him.

oh morning!

KLou111 · 20/01/2012 11:26

You do make me smile Liz :)

Right, little man has had a really nasty dry rash area on his leg since he was about 8 weeks old. Doesn't bother him, but tried everything to get rid. He's been on disposables since new year, but still there. Anyway have been using free sample of Burts bees nappy cream from bounty pack and its gone!!! Only used it for not even 24 hours!! In yellow tube, just ordered a big tube!!

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 20/01/2012 13:11

the woman with the thing i wanted has messaged me and i have paid for it so HA TAKE THAT, other womanGrin serves you right

KLou111 · 20/01/2012 14:11

I don't know what caused it, but its right where his happy edge sits on his left leg. Looks awful, but gone :)
Got dome freebies from hipp, dime cereal and fruit pouch, and couple cereals from Heinz, but nothing else.

I feel like crap! Think Joshua is feeling off too, prob due to his teeth tho. He had a feed at 4am then wouldnt have anything till 10:30 whereas usually he wants milk when he wakes up. Has only had 2 feeds since that 2 and one of them was only half a hour ago. He's slept quite a bit too.
Have him calpol and he's just playing with his hands now.

lizandlulu · 20/01/2012 20:43

areyou teething too iwish?Grin

klou i got the cow and gate pack through the boots parenting club.

i am full of cold, violet kindly gave me it! she got a runny nose the day she started nursery, the boss lady said they all do, like kennel cough for babiesGrin and it got worse last week, green snot and bogies, the lot, but shes alot better now, i am just bunged upSad

KLou111 · 20/01/2012 21:03
