Poor E kyz

It may be me that spews on her. I feel very sick , have done for about a week now. Had put it down to my period but think it is something more than that now. My lower back hurts so hope it is not my kidneys playing up again. I bruised them in an accident 2 years ago and was warned I could have ishoos with them

So I have to knock the day time naps in the pram on the head. He clearly wants to be like he is for his day time sleeps.

Perhaps I could put him asleep in the pram, and then transfer after 10 minutes? He is so heavy and hard for me to rock. I can do it - for the 3-5 minutes he was taking to get off to sleep. But now he is taking much longer, unless I put him in the pushchair.

He sleeps so well in it though, and is so easy to put asleep.

I need a cot on wheels with a handle.

kyz I agree with your advice about increasing the cubes, and just wanted to say your mum is so lucky having you look after her. You deserve a big bunch of for being awesome and sorry to hear about LO being ill. Any idea what's wrong?

I can't remember what else I wanted to say other than am surprised some of you are mentioning Rotavirus - isn't that part of the first set of innoculations over there?

So tired. Am going to go to the doctor and gt some sleeping meds I think :(

Yes, it is included in them PR but it is like anything I guess, it can still be caught despite vaccination.

Pass Hope P is okay in herself otherwise :)

More for kyz!

Over here they are only just talking about innoculation against rotovirus PR. It's in the news at the moment. This might be why my GP was being cautious about it - he knows I am a google queen.

Evening all, despite being fairly pissed off with the house debacle I've managed to have a nice day. Went to a nature trail with the girls and my Dsis and mum. Spent some time getting the house into some order. Got a viewing tomorrow and considering it only went back on rightmove this morning I'm taking that as a positive sign. Going out with lots of friends for DH's birthday celebration tomorrow so looking forward to that. Right, now to comment on the thread....what I remember anyway!

pr yay for new clothes. You deserve it.

clarella wow bladder reflux. Never heard of that. Poor lo.

gt sorry about Canada.

bplp I missed swimming gate but from your brief recap it sounds very annoying!

stunt well done j. Sounds like he's doing great.

kyz poor E. hope he's better soon.
Re the milk, I always give E her milk after I've done puree but her circumstances are a bit unusual.

Oh god, can't remember what else I wanted to say but think I've covered most of it.

ffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

knees.

Ahem.

Sorry.

Pfft det she is bright as a button bizarrely. She seems unphased thankfully. She obviously has an upset tummy but it isn't bothering her.

Are the innoculations different up here then det? I know I have heard it discussed in the news that they are planning to add it to the jags.

I'm starting to wonder if I have the wrong name. I am sure e said rotovirus

I stand corrected, rotavirus vaccine is coming this July. I thought it was last year!

No, it's me thinking I read the date as last year!!

Fuck luis. Just fuck.

det what an odd way for him to sleep! Hope you manage a transfer soon! E still naps on the sofa in the day. Really must fix that. I'd be fucked if he decided not to go in his cot at night!

Thanks mm hope it's not your kidneys whispers you don't need to poas do you?

Aw pr Thankyou for the flowers :) doctor thinks its viral, I mainly took him because my dbro had sceptic tonsillitis last week and I wouldn't want e to suffer if they could give abs or something. As it is the doctor doesn't think it's that, or it doesn't look that way so far.

Sounds like a trip to the doctors about your sleep or lack of it is a good idea, have you tried kalms or anything? Sorry, can't remember if you've mentioned it

Pass that's quite a haunting thought - that he's super thorough because he's trying to make up for missing something in the past if so poor chap. For what its worth without vomming I doubt its rotavirus. Get well soon poppet P! And E. And other poorly small folks. Clarella I've never heard of bladder reflux - but just ouch. Poor little love xx

Osteopath today was v interesting - she was able to tell me without prompting about his birth - back to back, dry, ventouse. She could feel where he had the haematoma and pointed out he has minor torticolis (sic?) and is tight along one side. She didn't do anything dramatic - just gentle palpitation. But the bear's eyes were wide and he was transfixed by her and only occasionally tried to nom on her hands. We're off back next week. Am intrigued by it I'll admit.

Gotcha det!

Right. Sleepy time. Baby is asleep. Cat is asleep. DH is asleep. Time for me to join them

Thanks detective on the recipes... Be good to know what you rate. Where are you getting them from, online? I only got the cheap online membership so don't have any books or anything. Been adjusting my own cooking methods really. Finding it easy enough to fill up on decent meals with meat, pasta, rice all being free foods. Had chicken with pineapple, baby corn & mange tout tonight. yum. I actually just realised there are different guidelines for if you're BFing too, I'm supposed to eat more healthy extras and eat my full quota of 15 syns!

Forgot to say I hope miss p is all sorted soon pass

Going to google rotovirus. Think I know what it is anyway

Thanks eliza am considering doing it that way with e possibly, though not for brekkie, i'd die getting up any earlier

Yep, you get more yummy stuff when breastfeeding!

I have got them from a couple of places - online from slimming world, and from googling slimming world recipes. People have also posted them in the fb page for our group.

Best one's I've had have been chicken fajhitas, and the arribiata sauce I did tonight! Do you want me to PM you the recipes?

That sounds really interesting yw

E is 37.8c temp wise. May calpol before I put him back as its edging toward high. Fc he doesn't wake!

I've swapped around, I now give O his bottle first and food second. He takes less solids this way. But he should be having milk as the main part of his diet. So we've gone back that way!

Would you think it worth trying then YW? Is it expensive? How many sessions are recommended?!

I have a TMI question for the bf mummy's if you don't mind? I still haven't had a period. Not that I'm complaining, just wondering if I'm alone. I have fucked up cycles so not overly surprised and I can't remember how long it was after DD1 was born that I had one. Just interested really. Feel free to tell me to mind my own!

Keep forgetting to tell you my fave ones detective, what kind of things do you like? Can dig through some books if you want? Mum has loads plus the monthly mags

Jacket potatoes with bacon and tomato topping stuff is lush.

Do you give one straight after t'other eliza and det? Or leave a gap of time? If so how long? Sorry for so many q's

I like chicken recipes, ones that I can put substitute meat in, ie. veggie sausages, or veggie mince. I also eat bacon, but not usually in things. More with stuff I suppose.

Fussy fucker!

Love pasta too.

If depends Kyz. This morning he finished his bottle in full, and seemed interested in eating, so offered him it. He had it and didn't quite finish.

This evening he had his bottle, but only took 6oz. I took it as he was full, and decided to offer food an hour later, and he took the vast majority of it.

I suppose I just wing it really, and try and fit it all in around naps and stuff!
