clarella I am so pleased you found it helpful, and thank you for reassuring me. Very keen to hear about upside down winding. Sounds like fun.

pp true.

detective what are you saying ?

LO has pretty much permanently been snuffly since birth and I don't know if that is colds like the rest of us or intolerance. Nothing has affected her sleep though other than this last few days, and a few days around 4months. What you have been experiencing needs attention. You are not being neurotic, you are being fobbed off. Or were.

Off to check O's lip. He wouldn't let me last night!

Good your appt went well detective was it just a Paeds consultant or specialist in something fancy?

Thank you pr

Eagerly waiting news of O's lip...

pls remember tounge is more of an issue - but if lip there could be tongue

VQ I have a wheezy baby who coughs after feeds. He also vomits a tiny bit after every feed. This is even though the broncholitis should have really cleared, rest of symptoms a lot better. Am back to docs tomorrow afternoon.

VQ not exactly wheezing but one of L's main symptoms was a mucousy, 'thick' sort of sound in his throat and constant snuffling which set him on this constant-waking path. The Nutramigen AA powder fixed these symptoms within a week but we are still struggling to break the awful sleep patterns.

CMPI is much more likely than LI in babies afaik. However we have just received a letter from the paeds saying his blood test did NOT indicate a sensitivity to CMP. They still recommend we stay on the Nutramigen as it is helping him. Also he has 'physiological anaemia' but will probably grow out of it. So feeling a bit wtf about the whole thing.

Sorry should have said they were some of his main symptoms when we started regular formula (Apt1) at 11 weeks (other symptoms were constant high pitched screaming, rigid body, painful wind/poos/everything).

VQ and detective glad appointments went ok.

Clarella and Kissyfur have read other thread and glad your getting action. We had TT done at 6 weeks.

clarella he has a tiny tt but I can feel his tongue working, and he can poke it out such a long way. Perhaps the tiny tt and the lip was what caused the problem. I diagnosed the tt. No HCP fucker has ever looked afaik.

pikz bronchiolitis can affect feeding for an age. J was vomiting after feeds and coughing for about 6 weeks after he had it.

JJ very interesting, thank you. I think J may need the Nutramigen powder but only the dietician can prescribe that apparently. He may be fine on the lactose free though. Time will tell.

His cheeks are beginning to look a bit eczema like, just like the patch on his leg which is thrush apparently. I fucking know what nappy thrush looks like!

JJ I think his sleep would resolve fairly quickly (hopeful) as when he wakes it is obvious he is as pissed off as I am to be up.

Nothing fancy as far as I know. She does specialise in gastro for kids though so she was the right one for us to see.

Posted O's lip to fb. I don't know.

Oh. QQ. O still has the sucking blisters he got at a couple of days old when bf. Should they not have fecked off by now??!

Ooh the paed had me get the pharmacist to make up a lotion for LO's ezcema. I'll have a look at the ingredients - it worked immediately.

I am thankful she is smiling more often.

I am also thankful to whoever upthread said put the meds in the milk, and I dismissed it, but then decided to try it, and it is working. Stupidly did a big feed though. Next time will just pop it in a ounce feed.

izzy been thinking of you today. Hope you are ok.

detective yes, they should have fucked off by now. Likely due to this whole intolerance thing I would think, so hopefully they should do one imminently.

Any chance of a decent pic on FB?

Ace! They aren't so obvious anymore but still there! Esp top lip!

O also has eczema on his legs, and today I also noticed a rough patch on one cheek.

Have we got the same baby?!

pr with DD1 the antibiotics always went in her juice. DD2 loves amoxycillin, and will suck the spoon and ask for more.

No, mine is a fat fucker

Lmao! Mine is a lanky bugger! Stick insect. Like his father was.

No lip tie here, but two hard white patches...

Eek!!

I am sat here with a sleeping baby thinking how it is strange putting him to sleep with no dummy as I was so used to the 'routine'. Then I realised, his dummy use for sleeps was irratic in the first 10 weeks. Sometimes he wanted it, sometimes not. The only time he would have a dummy other than til he fell asleep was when we were out and about in town/supermarket.

I realise now that the increase in using it for naps and sleep must have been to comfort from the pain he has been in. He must finally feel comfortable falling asleep.

He never kept it in once asleep. But he definitely needed it for most sleeps in the last 6 weeks.
