Welcome to the crisp shiny new thread! The old one was getting a wee bit stoorie and dog-eared.

Have done my best to list all those from the previous thread, though some may have namechanged since then... hope I've included everyone - apologies to anyone missed.

dizzyjingles · 18/12/2008 22:47

ah bloody hell, am so sorry girls I left my mobile in the car yesterday which dh took on his 6-3am shift and I didn't get back until about midday by which point it was charged but it was all too late

shall reprimand myself sternly

SantaKLAWs · 18/12/2008 22:54

S'ok, we'll do something in the new year, eh?

I shall probably bump into you at Glamis on Sunday, Take your mobile

dizzyjingles · 18/12/2008 22:55

shall do, if its charged and not in random car

we bought one at auction yesterday so was probably the excitement of having 2 cars that confused me

SantaKLAWs · 18/12/2008 23:01

oooh

Tell me more about it!!! Pur---lease!

Yesterday... so that was at Kinross yeah?

dizzyjingles · 18/12/2008 23:07

no livingston - fleet & motibility sale

renault grand scenic. ex motibility with 17k miles and really well looked after too - dh was as cool as a cucumber whilst I was pathetic idiot nearly buying about 16 cars with flailing arm movements

SantaKLAWs · 18/12/2008 23:25

ooooh, never been to Livingston, dp has....

sounds great, but then I know nothing about scenics...

maybe we can compare our auction purchases in the car park My Multipla is an R reg, with 55k on the clock and a few blemishes but it's lurvely!!!! I love it to bits! Pity it's not got the good mileage I'm used to though

minipinkscottish · 21/12/2008 11:52

babybear xxx sorry to hear baby has colic.....there are many things to try and I know that recently hv prescribed gaviscon for lo at bf group,,,however, I swear by baby massage colic technique.....I will try to find you a link xxx

minipinkscottish · 21/12/2008 12:00

not good at adding links but try this.......or just put baby massage for collic in search engine xx

babybear77 · 21/12/2008 19:01

HV gave me massage sheet - he went mental! So we abandoned that. Think there is definitely an element of reflux so will prob get some gaviscon tomorrow...

SantaKLAWs · 21/12/2008 19:14

cranial osteopathy? chiropractor?

Homoeopathic remedies?

Massage can be very beneficial but baby is not always receptive, try again when he is calm and happy, find a class you can go to for guidance

Found Infacol etc next to useless, imho

babybear77 · 22/12/2008 18:21

Have colicynth? and chamommila - not done much thus far. We think he has reflux so have got prescription for infant gaviscon. Anyone any experience of it? Have been advised to express milk (which I have duly done) and mix it with gaviscon, then give before feed. The pack says mix with water. I'm guessing I'm giving it with milk because if it was water his tummy would be pretty much filled with just water and gaviscon.
Confusion re expressing tho... he emptied the side he was feeding from (right) so had to express from the other side (left - 30mls) so what side do i put him on next feed. I was going to stick him on the left and not express next feed as I have enough for 2 doses...or maybe i should and then won't have to express middle of the night (says to self)
Think will awake with a massive boob at soem point during the night...
So much confusion....
BBx

SantaKLAWs · 22/12/2008 22:29

I would start next feed from the side you expressed from (left) and then offer him the right if he finishes that. BTW Are you always offering him the other breast if he finishes the first?

Have emailed you, check your spam filter box if you don't get it.

Merry Christmas everyone

Hope everyone had a good day, ours was good boys loved it and were spoiled rotten!!!

Little Innes was unwell and we spent christmas eve in hospital and christmas day waiting by the phone for his blood results to come back incase we had to get him admitted, thankfully they never phoned. So he was miserable most of the day but i was just glad he was home with us. Nothing ever seems easy in our family

Love
xxJennyxx

minipinkscottish · 26/12/2008 20:57

Jenny so sorry to hear Innes has been unwell....hope things are better soon

Taylor has had tonsilitis and spent xmas eve and some of xmas morning being sick and Abbie has had chest and ear infection and she has a terrible cough Rubbish time of year for them to get ill ....but we had good time anyway xxxxxxxxxxxxx

DH want on computer so will talk later xxxxxxxxxxxxx

dizzydixies · 27/12/2008 22:49

oh no sorry to hear about all the sick kids

Dylan has a touch of croup but doing ok with it, we started her on solids today at 21wks, I think she's definately needing it and it will hopefully help her sleep through again as I've been up most of the night with her the past few nights

had a lovely Christmas at my aunts and the girls really enjoyed it and were great fun. its out anny today but DH on nights so I just popped on to say hello and then I'm off to bed for an early night to make up for the past few shitey sleeps

hope everyone had a great christmas

minipinkscottish · 30/12/2008 19:54

Am really concerned about this cough Abbie has

First went to docs 3 weeks ago....told virus...2 weeks ago...virus...1 weeks ago... ear and chest infection and was given antibiotics ....yesterday....told chest clear and given nasal drops.....today poor honey was getting really distressed during coughing fits........not croupy cough, sounds really chesty

ds4 has asthms snd has been really bad last few days and was given steroids for a couple of days...how can you tell asthma in babies?

Christmas was good but very tiring with lo's ill. Hope Innes is better now Jenny and hope Dylan's croup is better dizzy xxx

dizzydixies · 30/12/2008 19:58

oh no minipink, they're really finding it hard to shift everything aren't they? lets hope the antibiotics help her shift it in

Dylan's croup didn't come to anything more than just a bark everytime she coughed thank goodness - have started her on some solids this week at 21wks so am hoping this will ease the disturbed nights she'd started having again - she seems to be doing fine inbetween the constant dribbling and bright red cheeks the wee soul!

minipinkscottish · 30/12/2008 20:03

The antibiotics are finished today so I thought I would have seen an improvement. Abbie is also dribbling all the time and she is biting everything furiously....teeth not far away I think Abbie has been on solids for a wee while and loves it but after being such a good sleeper to begin with she has started getting up again ...she must know I'm going back to work soon...2nd Feb..........

dizzydixies · 30/12/2008 20:08

cannot believe you're talking abouit being back at work already - how on earth has that flown in?!?

am off to bath/bed/story battle and might not be back on later so if not I'll wish you a good night sleep now

minipinkscottish · 30/12/2008 20:15

I know dizzy...I have been off since May and believe me would be off permanently ...but needs must....

night night for now I'm away to do the same as you

babybear77 · 31/12/2008 22:19

happy new year...when it comes!
