It is still Wednesday isn't it.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKING FUCKING FUCK!

I just need to have a whinge to people who totally understand. My dad had a heart attack today. He's OK, talking and ringing people. I have to leave Tommy every night for about 3.5 - 4 hours, obviously I don't expect him to last that long between feeds, but there is no way I can begin to express all the milk needed so am left with no fucking choice but formula Sad . For fucks sake! My poor dad sounded so pathetic on the phone too.

Just reassure me I'm not fucking everything up by giving Tommy 1 fucking bottle at night. sigh.

In other news, Tommy has decided that hourly feeding from 1am is the way forward, 10 nights and counting so far.

Chasing as everyone else has said, really really shit!

Kyzordz · 27/03/2013 20:50

Wow that was alot to read!

My fanjo is ok, sorry lots aren't :( I keep getting it tested, just to make sure ;)

Fab weight gain eliza

I am considering seeing if e is ok on normal milk before the weaning thing. He hasn't had any tastes for a bit as he had an upset tummy. Still has actually. He did a wet fart earlier and it smelt of rotting fish. I have given him nothing but his milk for 4 days, and he's still not right. Possetting but literally a dribble. No temp, but whingy but seems to only be when tired. How long do I leave it before I take him doctors? Wasnt sure as essentially he's fine but also I'm really used to shaped shits not sloppy ones!!! And definitely not ones that smell like that shart earlier. Honest to god I haven't smelt anything so bad in my life :/

E randomly, altho he still usually hates it, did TEN minutes on his tummy the other day! He looked like a pro too, dunno where it came from!

pr sorry LO is still ill :( that is really cunting wank!

det I like squeezing spots too, my dp gets the ones across the shoulders. I often tell him it's one of his redeeming features haha

vq doesn't matter if j is a big lad, he is a healthy big lad. I am getting sick of people thinking Eric is behind for his age as they assume he is at least 6 months. Annoying as fuck!

Pikz · 27/03/2013 20:51

Shelly first of all big hugs. Glad dad is ok.

You are not fucking tommy up at all. It's the right thing to do if you need to leave him each evening. He will be all kinds if brilliant.

In terms of the sleeping... In VQs new terms... Gina fucking ford him! There is No way you cb carry on with that little sleep.

Kyzordz · 27/03/2013 20:52

Sorry shelley cross posted. How awful, your poor dad, I hope he's ok. You won't be hurting tommy, it's one bottle and it will be fine, honestly :) lots of people in our quiche give formula on some level and they and their babies are doing just fine (mine included!)

ShellyBobbs · 27/03/2013 20:59

I know, I've just got that guilty breastfeeding mum thing going on. Sad I feel better for the whinge though.

Oh I've actually managed to finish knitting a blanket and it's pretty funky if I do say so myself. I'll stick a piccy on fb.

daisychain76 · 27/03/2013 20:59

Shelly hope your dad recovers quickly. Formula won?t do any harm ~ H has had one bottle of it a day ever since the stuff l expressed in nicu ran out and, as you have seen, he is doing well on it. Take care of yourself

ShellyBobbs · 27/03/2013 20:59

And thanks Smile

BigPigLittlePig · 27/03/2013 21:04

Shelley I'd be feeling the same as you, but everyone is right, one bottle will do no harm. And once your dad is out of the woods, you can go back to ebf if that's what you want to do. Alternatively, you may find you love your new-found freedom!

Kyz - and I thought stinky egg farts sharts were bad. Rotting fish sounds much much worse Envy

itsnotyouitsMeals · 27/03/2013 21:11

So sorry about your dad Shelly. Am sure one bottle won't affect supply. But if you don't want to, have you tried a really good pump (I have the medela swing) or fenugreek to up supply for expressing?

Pikz · 27/03/2013 21:13

Bplp I'm with you on the early starts and fucking 4 month sleep shit state being over soon!

PetiteRaleuse · 27/03/2013 21:29

shelley how scary, but phew thhat he is ok. No, one bottle a day won't harm him. My little darlings' constant illnesses are fuck all to do with ff and everything to do with the bastard fou and rsv epidemics going round.

Talking of which, LO has neeeded paracetamol and has been tugging on her ear again.... Will see how it goes and drag her back to the paed's tomorrow or Friday if she needs any more tomorrow. We're going To need medical care over the long weekend aren't we?

Can I just say: fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck..

At least I have healthy unsore bits (yay c sections rock) but, OTOH, I am not in the least bit hip.

In fact, I watched the fashion bit on This Morning this morning and thought, ooh that outfit looks nice.

Is this what my life has become? Really?

PetiteRaleuse · 27/03/2013 21:29

flu not fou

Bollocks.

Passmethecrisps · 27/03/2013 21:33

he will be all kinds of awesome

^what pikz said. Feeling guilty and weird about it is fine. Of course you will. You haven't worked this hard for nothing. But he will be cool and you will be cool and your dad will be cool. Flowers

TheDetective · 27/03/2013 21:35

Shelly Fuck, fuck, and indeed more fuck. Your poor dad, and poor you :( I am glad he is doing well though.

Just a thought - do you need to leave T? Is it to be with your dad in hospital? If so, you could take him with you? I might be barking up the wrong tree here. But if not, a bottle of formula will be fine. You may find when you are not there he won't want to feed anyway can't smell the milk bar, and will wait for you to come back. Has he ever taken a bottle?

Passmethecrisps · 27/03/2013 21:35

Hahaha PR! I saw that too. All the outfits were all kinds of awful. You look like you are lovely and trim so would suit skinny jeans. If I were to wear skinny jeans children would need to have their eyes bleached.

Passmethecrisps · 27/03/2013 21:37

Oh and fuck off French illness! PR I really hope you don't need anything over the holiday.

Passmethecrisps · 27/03/2013 21:40

And shelly if supply is the concern domperidone can be bought from a pharmacist and ups supply.

kyz I am with you on not understanding liquidy shits. P has just started doing poo which looks like green poster paint. It is very weird after months of play doh poo. Hmm. Her poo sounds like something you would find in a play group.
