I'm not sure how F will stop feeding to sleep. I guess when she's eating more and doesn't need a milk feed at that time? It's all so bloody confusing.

I can't stop eating liquorice allsorts tonight. DH has gone out to his sisters. I need him to return ASAP to remove the box from my reach.

DH is not talking to me. I have said we are not going to MIL at the W/E. He just huffed off. Did not even ask me why. He is such a child. I have been trying to tell him for the past two weeks but he just does not get it. The reasons are numerous, but tonight my back is in bits from dealing with a 10.4kg baby. That was the last straw. He just does not see me

Sorry PR. we will meet one day.

I am ok. Just sad. Off to bed as the atmosphere is icy.

Queeny big hugs xxxxxxxx

Floaty bright spots in my eyes. I got up. Walked two minutes. By the time I sat down it was flashy. Any advice?

Phone triage GT as you're pregnant. Just to be safe.

Thread v quiet tonight but that's to be expected.

Det - M is the same with face washing/wiping. She, like O, has also got a cold today, or is teething, whichever she is v snotty but hates me wiping her nose.

Chasing - I've just given M natural yogurt with fruit today. As she's a bit under the weather and still has a sore bum I went for something familiar.

Today I dropped my car keys down a drain luckily I managed to rescue them with a hooking device crafted from coat-hangers

M has been mopey all evening, she fed to sleep at 8 so DH took her to bed where she promptly woke up and cried until I got her. Since then she's spent an hour rolling all over the living room floor having loads of fun. Bloody calpol must have given her second wind

Thank you Pikz x

GT call triage. Could be pre-eclampsia but equally could be nothing. Do get it checked to be sure x

I think everyone has fucked over to FB!

Gt l second chasing. After my pregnancy with H l am a firm believer in getting everything checked out.

madam enjoy your nights away. Uninterrupted sleeep ~ bliss!

Well done stunt being an OU student takes amazing. dedication. NCSS has really worked for H ~ down at 6.30 tonight. Not tackled the night feeding yet pennie but its method involves letting baby latch on, when the first frantic swalllowing stops, unlatch. Putting your finger on. baby?s chin can stop them rooting. If they are going mad, latch them on again but unlatch and repeat after 40 to 60 seconds, keep repeating. She does warn it isn?t a quick fix. l may not have got it all right cos my kindle with it on is broken. l just haven?t got the energy to try it at the moment.

Hello all,
Had a ok day, N has been my ray of sunshine today, as I've felt blue. I think it is because I've been talking about how my dead relatives would have loved N. I miss them every day, and I hope they would be proud of me.

chasing huge hugs!!! I'm so happy for you.

Evil

I'm here!

GT get checked out, don't worry and not get peace of mind or looked after if you need to.

VQ hugs

kyz good plan not to stress over food.

fatima I both love and hate Calpol for that reason.

All quiet here for now. DM visiting to babysit while I am away for two nights and DH works.

brockle I very often wish I had a clone of myself. I have to remind myself often that I would properly hate that moody, bossy, control freak but the house would be tidy and towels would be folded properly!

Called triage. They asked me a bunch of questions n said if it happens again to call, but it may just be tiredness.

G'night quiche.

Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life

I hope sleepy dust is flying at you all as I type. Oh, that reminds me, Luis we haven't heard from you during the past few nights, dare I hope that you are actually getting some sleep?

Glad you called them GT, rest as best you can and look after yourself x

Hia.

det p is exactly the same. Screams the "call social work!" Scream when I try to wipe her face. I sometimes get success by giving her the wet flannel. She either rubs her face on it or noms it - either way gets her face relatively clean.

Sorry DH is being an arse VQ. He needs to open his eyes. Maybe he could take all three kids if he really wants to go!

I saw HV today. In a 5 minute interview she managed to make me feel like total shite. A failure at it all. Amazing

Oh and just realised that I gave a bum steer re WWF name. I am Kerrymct.

Glad you called triage GT. Try to take it easy, lady

at pass's HV. You know you are not shite, right?

I'm now on WWF, as evil lake.
Evil

pass that's awful! How can people do that.
Evil

Pass - well she is wrong. Don't let it get to you.

Vq - that sounds miserable. Hugs.

Kyz - I'm really struggling to get much sown g too. He starts off happy then gets really uncomfortable. and I am probably less stressed than I should be - but am going to see a dietician because ccmbined with the allergies it is starting to worry me. Just wanted to say you're not the only one not finding it a breeze. Chasing - yoghurt and fruit sounds a good breakfast for now to me.

Gt - hope you feel better soon (and your dh gets his act together)

Off to London on the train to see in the night garden live tomorrow. Very excited. How life has changed!

Thanks ladies. I am being daft I think. Can't even really be bothered to comment on it all but lots of pointing at her growth chart pointing out the dips, frowny faces when I said weaning was slow going and a bizarre comment about her eczema which suggested I should work harder to clear it up because the consultant had seen it now.

Just bizarre

pass you are not shite! The fact she made you feel like that means the HV is the shite one! Ugh! Annoyed on your behalf.

Well we had another crap night, this is all I seem to say these days. He's had one nap today and is still up, although feeding so hoping he will go to bed soon. So will I!

Lost 2.5lbs at fat fuckers!

izzy congrats on the weight loss,

Pass WTF? Spill. What a CUNT!

GT Good move. To reassure - I had similar while I was in work one day. I've TOTALLY forgotten what the anaethetist said to me - but he was very knowledgeable and gave me an explaination for it. But yeah. Helpful, as I have completely forgotten everything it. If I remember, I will tell you! It was just a one off and didn't happen again. But of course I worried, being in the profession and all! Just ring triage if out of hours and any worries. You could make an appt with the community midwives this week just to put your mind at rest?

VQ :( But I understand - reading how things are at the moment. I get it. Fucking men eh? Soz Luis

Chasing Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life. Celebrate. Do you think you could plan a little meal out with your Dad tomorrow? Do something to treat yourself. There will be a mini quiche party! Who will join us? I will have a glass of sugar free juice to celebrate fuck you slimming world! .

Thanks for the cleaning tips. Okay, so yeah. O wanted to do it himself. Silly mummy for not figuring that one out. I managed to get it done with singing to him and some distraction, while he had a wipe in one hand.

Less success with the meds. He just grinned and spat the fucking lot out. At the minute he is having 2ml Ranitidine, and 2.5ml of Calpol at bedtime (for the cold as he is struggling mostly at night). So that's fun! We tried the ranitidine sat up - that was okay, no crying, but spat it all out. Did the calpol lay flat, pinned down, syringe a bit in, blow on face... nope, spat out. Tried holding his mouth in a fish kiss... still spat out. Little bugger.

Pass I think you need to ring her up and pass her P's consultants number, and suggest if she thinks there is a problem, she liaise with them, not you. Fucksake. What the fuck does she want?

My mum told me O was too fat tonight. She asked me if I was overfeeding him. I turned wobbly. Like total omg am I doing something wrong kind of wobbles. Then I pulled my shit together and pointed out O is on the 50th centile for weight, above the 99.8th or whatever it is for height. And he eats less than most babies FFS! Back off bitch! Okay so he has got his first roll of chub on his legs but he's still perfectly in proportion and eating the right things.

People have a way with words, don't they?

Izzy I hope to report similar on thursday! Keep it up! I'm 7 weeks in now. I just want this fat to fuck off to the far side of fuck and never fucking darken my ass/thighs/legs/tummy/16 chins even again.

That was a lot of fuck.

It was in preparation for tomorrow, mmmkay?
