Today I wish I had Twitter TooMany. I suspect Janan Ganesh will wish the opposite by the end of today.
Evil, wot VQ said. I gave it to DS1 unsuspectingly, after a family members 'advice'. Nothing happened, and I didn't know anything could, until a lot later down the line. He's here, he's fine, don't stress on what is done. Just keep an eye out. There are a few things that shouldn't be given before certain ages. I really must read up on them myself, as my brain lets me down again!
Stunt frequent possetting has been a recent development in camp detective. I thought it might be the change in teats, tried the old teats, made no difference. So I got some dentinox drops. I ummed and ahhed over infacol/gripe water/dentinox drops. I went for the latter in the end. Anyway, I have put them in to 2 feeds a day, and this has helped drastically. Other than when DP does the jiggles after a feed. Stupido.
Pass That made my blood run cold. It is rare, but so so so tragic. Poor family. poor baby. Just awful. Cruel and unfair. I used to worry about these things awfully. Every story I hear, the more the worry sinks back in. :(
Regarding wills, I do not have one. I have no assets, I'm not sure a house in negative equity could be classed as an asset
. I have never known what to do, because I could not decide regarding guardians etc. Having 2 children to two different fathers makes that impossible for me. I don't want my children split up :(
What do others do with similar situations? I'd like both children to stay with my mum in an ideal world, and DP to live with my mum. That ain't gonna happen! I think DP would do a good job with Oscar, but not on his own, he would struggle emotionally/financially/practically, and I wouldn't want that for him. And I think DS1 needs a stronger figure in his life, his 'disney dad' is a bad influence on him, and DP can't get the good behaviour I can out of him. My mum can though.
Chick Depending on local policy, depends on which babies are offered iron/folic acid/vitamins. Here it is prescribed for babies who were born before 37 weeks AND who are below 2.5kg. Therefore it is not routinely given to premature infants unless they are under 2.5kg. Babies above 37 weeks who are less than 2.5kg don't get them prescribed. Each Trust has their own guidance.
Regarding iron supplementation, I've had a little read around, and found the following links which I thought was interesting:
From Kellymom.
NHS weaning leaflet.
Have to give up on this post, been at it an hour, arghhh! Be back later! Been abandoned by DP with a sick baby. Tosspot. He's gone to see a relative with his mum. Except he rang me 90 mins ago and said they weren't going as his mum had stuff to do at home. So he is at his mums. And I am home alone with a sick baby. Thanks, fucker. I'll get him back.
