Anyone know anything about codeine? Apparently it's not supposed to be good in 'late pregnancy' as it can make the fetus too stoned to breathe once born, but how late is that?
I've been prescribed 60mg up to 4x daily (with 500mg paracetamol, which is apparently fine even in labour), which is the max dose ever prescribed pretty much, so I'm trying to cut down.
(don't worry, will call pharmacist and GP in the morning, but knew there were people with SPD here who might know)
Ignorant question 2 - how bad is it for a baby, say 4 months up, to roll off something like a mattress onto the floor? I feel very ignorant of things that are considered bad now but weren't when I was a kid - back then a baby too large for a carrycot would just be put on a mattress on the floor, or even just on a normal bed. No-one thought anything of kids falling out of bed regularly, but thinking about it a proper bed is pretty high compared to a small toddler...
I know with newborns you need to support their head, and water should only be elbow-hot, new cot mattress, lie on back and feet to foot of cot, no smoking around them. Keep chokable and stranglable things away. And when they cry try cuddling, feeding, nappy changing, winding, bouncing etc until something works...
Anything else obvious to avoid doing with my baby, apart from not dropping it...?
Sorry, I'm worrying again. Time for another nap, I think!
