Please give your baby's favourite foods so we can get some ideas from each other.

A force to be reckoned with, no less.

You don't mess with my baby .

I seriously think I could move in to the GP's these days, and they wouldn't notice, I'm there that much.

Harumph.

I am not pregnant!!!

But I do have post pregnancy stomach stress. Possibly. Or a gall bladder issue. Possibly. Former could last 6+ months. Latter will be explored in 2 weeks if not better.

And I have been prescribed.... omeperazole! (sp?)

I also slept 13 hours last night and still feel deathly tired this morning

Wow baby pikz you are a hero. We get about 10 1/2 to 11 hours and I thought we were doing well.

Bloody GP receptionists need to get a grip. And also how do they get away with such a poor attitude to their " customers" when other people wouldn't. And we're they all born with the grumpy gene.

Hope the omewhatsit make you feel better mm

It's the half term rain here. Of course. So we will go to the swimming g pool like the rest of Berkshire probably.

Oh MM hope you feel better soon.

Detective O is very lucky to have you as his mummy.

O had toast for breakfast. He seemed quite wary of it but think he ingested a small amount. He is still very sad today Having a quiet two days with lots of cuddles and TLC. He has sneezed a fair bit today too so wonder if he is coming down with something too.

tits I would take him to a dr or hv and ask if that reaction to the meds in your milk is normal?

And when you say dark do you mean dark green? Or brown? Could be worth phoning the doctor or pharmacist and checking?

Tits my J had trouble when I was on amoxiclav for an infected CS wound. I took probiotics drinks daily, afaik the probiotics pass into your milk too and will help with his tummy. I found J's tummy issues resolved a couple of days after I finished the course of antibiotics. If you try the probiotics remember not to take then at the same time as the antibiotics.

That's utterly shit Detective FFS what if you were prescribed insufficient insulin for a diabetic, or ran out of antidepressants and started getting withdrawal symptoms. They really need to be more on the ball than that. Why do GP receptionists tend to have such a bad attitude. My BIL ended up in hospital with a helicobacter infection a week after the GP receptionist refused to give him an urgent appointment because she didn't think he was ill enough.

It's very dark brown, DS1 gets the same on penicillin. I'll try the probiotic drinks, what time scale do I leave between the antibiotics and the probiotics?

Sorry tits can't help.

My aunt is the exception to the gp receptionist rule. Everyone comments on how wonderful and lovely she is. The rest however are utter arseholes. The last one who crossed me tried to tell me that Matilda did not require an urgent appointment as her reaction had gone down. My (very exasperated) response was: "when I want medical advice from a receptionist, I will ask for it"

Also DP has decided to pull my car to bits under the driveway. Twat.

Quiet here today. Still have A very sad baby. But he managed avocado and water from his cup for lunch. Just starting his long nap now so hoping for a couple of hours rest.

Helloooooo?

Has anybody's baby's hair changed colour? M was born with jet black hair. She lost a lot of it and it is coming in very light. DP thinks she may be blonde

My car now has no brakes I only wanted the sodding wiper blades changed....

It's a boy. baby in a bad position to check spine. So sat here drinking water so hope he moves. All perfect other then that.
Oh well. Guess I don't have to buy anything new.

That's great GT at least you know what to expect. And not having to buy anything new is a good thing. Maybe number three will be a girl, which, going by your current rate should be for summer 2014 :o

Seriously, don't be disappointed. LO will be so chuffed to have a little brother. And he's perfect.

Hope he moves so you can check his spine soon.

mm still waiting for LO to have enough hair to be able to tell what colour it will be. DD1's hair is getting lighter with age. Started ouit an almost bald brunette, and is turning into a blondie like mum :)

MM, yes Teddy's hair was black when born, now blonde. DS1 was the same.

GT, congratulations. I have two boys. It is lovely to think they will grow up brothers together. As yours are so close in age, I'm sure they will be best of friends. Everyone always tells me about the special bond between boys and their mummy too.

GT congratulations! I would love to have two boys. I can't picture myself having girls for some reason.

O was born with brown hair, which started to think out but it is now growing back very fast and is a dark brown, typically Chinese hair colour.

Speaking of Chinese, did you see the news story about the Chinese baby found alive in a sewage pipe after being flushed down the toilet? . Made me cry.

Congrats GT 2 boys so close in age will be lovely.

chasing yes I saw it, it's so so sad.

S started out with lots of ginger hair and now has a little bit of ginger hair

yay for your boys gt . I have 3 and they are brilliant. they will be such good friends.

I didn't see that, would have me cry.

mm he is actually UNDER the driveway???

GT what lovely news, hope the wee man wriggles the right way round soon.

I always thought I wanted boys, then when F turned out to be a girl I was delighted, and now I cannot imagine having a boy. I suppose it's what you become used to.

F was born with dark hair which is firmly on its way to blonde now. Especially when the sun catches it - you can see there are oodles of blonde streaks in it and one veeeeeery long, freakishly long, blonde hair

So at baby group today, I weighed F (fully clothed) before and after her 2pm feed. Her "big" afternoon feed. She put on 40g. Which is 40mls of milk. Which is PATHETIC. It was a pretty standard feed, not any shorter than usual. 40mls.

Since I stopped having dairy, she has gone from the 50th to the 75th centile though. Imagine the size of her if I had been dairy free from the off!
