jazzybabe · 28/09/2006 11:05

lak114 · 28/09/2006 13:31

My partner always laughs at me cos i like a cup of tea in the evenings, when we do something like that!
How are you all?

jazzybabe · 28/09/2006 20:38

hi kfc is my favourite but couldnt be bothered ot go out last night and get it, what happened to the weather i thought sept was suppose to be at its hottest

lak114 · 28/09/2006 20:41

lol I know i thought that too, looked out the window earlier today and the sky was really dark wasn't it - but it didnt rain i suppose!
Got to take will to the docs 2moro he has ecema behind his ears at the mo but it has gone a bit horrible - see wot the doc says i suppose cos i have tried sudo cream and aqueous cream but nothin is helping!

jazzybabe · 28/09/2006 21:19

A lot of babys get it behind there ears, jasmine got it all ove last year i tried so much stuff from docs and over counter in the end the best thing we used was e45 itch cream and changed the washing powder to an eczma one from boots, amberleys come up in a rash all over today and i think its the washing powder once again as ive only just gone back to washing there clothes in fairy so now got to wash all there clothes once again i spent about 3 hours the other night ironing looks like ill be ironing the best part of the weekend lol,

jazzybabe · 28/09/2006 21:20

Talkingof clothes any one buy babay clothes from tesco as there selling off loads of there kids clothing at moment, seem to be selling more of the boys than girls section very cheap, i got jasmine a few tops think the most expensive was £2.50 woohooo

lak114 · 28/09/2006 21:25

i use fairy - maybe its that but it tends to be in places like elbows, n backs of knees etc - typical places!
I buy some of Will's stuff in Tescos cos the sizes are slightly bigger there too, 0-3 months goes up to 15lbs.
Will have to go n have a look tomorrow lol!

jazzybabe · 28/09/2006 21:43

yeah i know what you mean about the sizes jasmine is wearing 9 to 12 months and shes 17 months moind you she is a skinny minny unlike her sister whos getting plumper by the day lol,I think they get it in the creases as its where they sweat or its damp in the creases i know you usually get it behind the knees its looks so sore too hope you find something at the docs for him

lak114 · 28/09/2006 21:47

I went and got Will weighed on Tuesday and he is 14.4 now at 11 weeks, so he needs bigger sizes lol!
Might pop into the chemists first and see what he says about it, cos its only across the road from the docs!
I know in Tescos they sell something called Halos and Horns and its made especially for kids with eczema, its bath stuff-might be something to try?!

jazzybabe · 28/09/2006 22:04

halos and horns lol sounds abit strange i shgall look out for it next itme im in there, i just used to bathe jasmine in water and oil and use auqeous cream for soap she never smelt all baby like when she got out so its nice now that i can use the baby stuff on her within reason and she smells all lovely 14lb is a good size i dont know what amberley is she was 12 when i weighed her a few weeks ago i find it hard taking her to get weighed and having jasmine running around not doing as shes told as you cant take prams in there, where do you go in warrior house or sure start ? either of them you cant take prams into mind you i wouldnt get my double buggy through the door lol

lak114 · 28/09/2006 22:07

i know i thought that when my sister in law told me about it cos her little ones had eczema too, but they take all the harsh chemically stuff out of it! Will doesn't really smell like a baby either, he just has water n aqueous cream at the mo lol, poor little things!
I go to my local clinic along westborough road (i think its called) but you cant take buggies in there either, used to go to the kent elms clinic before.
Got ur new buggy yet?

jazzybabe · 28/09/2006 22:12

nah not yet the company dont get them till the 10 th oct so any time after that but the last one i got from there the month before lol was late, got held up in a port some where so im not going to get too excited till its here

lak114 · 28/09/2006 22:15

awww bless! ur little ones in bed?
Im guna go n feed Will i think cos he fell asleep at 6 n hasnt eaten since so if i feed him now he will sleep thru. He normally gets his last feed at half 7 n then sleeps thru till 7ish.

jazzybabe · 28/09/2006 22:22

yep all tucked up and fast asleep jasmine goes down at 6 30 / 7 and amberley went down about 8 30 hopefully fingers crossed thyl stay like that to tomorrow ,nine would be nice even eight but theyl be up at 6 as usual

lak114 · 28/09/2006 22:24

lol my sister in law is up at 5 every mornin with her 2 and they are 2 and nearly 4. Will gets up bout 7 feeds n then goes back to bed, he stayed there sleeping till 10 this mornin so i had a nice lie in but got no housework done lol!

jazzybabe · 29/09/2006 12:24

Well obviously didnt make munchkins ggrrr second time ive nearly got there but havent lol Amberley had a rash yesterday it has got considerably worse this morning and going onto her face so got a docs appointment at 1.10 the only time they can do so had to cancel today,I tried her on baby rice the day before yesterday do you think it may be that the doctor might tell me off for trying it to soon shes not 4 months till next week

lak114 · 29/09/2006 16:06

It could be that - I take it ur other little one didnt react to it?
Is ther a history of allergies in ur family?
I got told of by my h.v for even discussing doing it before 6 months!
I didnt get a docs appointment they were fully booked but will's eczema looks a little bit better today.

jazzybabe · 29/09/2006 21:14

Well bl88dy useless waste of time that was, doctor said i have to wait and see what the rash is going to do in the next few days maybe its going to get up and dance !! he said it probably wasnt the rice and did look at me a bit strange when i metioned it , any way i got some cream for her bits as shes got terrible sores and havent been able to get rid of them and he said change her nappy often huh as if i hadnt been bl*dy cheek he should have a look at the amount of rubbish we put out each week, a bin bag for every day !!full of sht.Jasmine was fine when i weaned her at 4 months they all have different advice on weaning etc, the only thing shes become allergic to is penicillin . ps, where is everybody

Emskilou · 30/09/2006 13:22
