I might have got reflux all wrong in that post

clarella I think omeprazole gives p trapped wind. She didn't suffer before but seems uncomfortable sometimes. Sounds right enough. If you think about it, omeprazole reduces the production of stomach acid and can reduce the good gut bacteria. This will be likely to cause issues which as wind. My mum is also on omeprazole

I crawled - repeat crawled - over a speedbump on the way into M's swimming lessons. The road surface into the health club is appalling and they will be getting a snippy email about it. except I am more likely to silently rage over this

I meant to say, how bloody awful of your HV. I too am avoiding them at all costs, mine had me in tears when M was a few weeks old and her skin problem came to light. I always feel hideously patronised by her as well (read above post about age-paranoia) and she got very snippy when I corrected her on a few blatant mistakes she made. I think arsey-nature is a pre-requisite for the job.

Oh. Obviously the beef casserole contains braised beef. Not chicken. That would be magic otherwise

I want magic casserole

Totally mm. I think pp mentioned yesterday about the whole system needing n overhaul. What happens if you are genuinely needy or vulnerable?

What still fucks me off is I admitted to her that I was worried I would find I hard when p starts dropping milk feeds due to upping solids. I explained that for her whole 7 months I have been anxiously monitoring intake and hoping for increases so I am anticipating finding it a struggle to let go of that. Her response? She shrugged her shoulders and said "oh but she won't want the milk because her tummy will be all full up"

She obviously didn't hear a word I said.

I'm sorry that I've got no advice for anyone. Just good luck to everyone.

M is teething and snotty and has hardly eaten all day. By seven PM my noobs were killing as she'd only had one descent feed all day, other times I offered and she had a couple of sucks and then changed her mind while my milk shot everywhere.
She's fed a couple of time this evening though.
She's been a pain at getting to sleep tonight, I bet I'm in for a long night

Sounds rubbish fatima

Love that evil - sometimes a wee fist bump of luck is all You need

Oh, and I forgot to add, We are all great mums!

Pass I hear you - today F has fed at 5, 11, 3 and 6. She'll have one more at 10 otherwise my boobs will explode After spending months encouraging screamy writhiing babies to feed, it seems very contrary to suddenly drop feeds for what seems like relatively small amounts of solids.

Evil glad you had a good day with N - no more vomathons I take it?

MM you really have the most dreadful luck with cars . Bloody potholes have nearly ruined various aspects of our car.

Fatima fc you have a better night than anticipated.

Where the fuck is det for sweary Weds? That's what I want to know. It's been very mild on here for a Wednesday...

Fuck! I want him off the fucking ranitidine because it gives him bad wind! Should I try low dose omeprazole or am I jumping from frying pan into fire?

I would make a fucking awesome HV. I can see people traveling from miles around to my clinics. I can see people moving like they do for a good school catchment. Private practice? TV show? Celebrity HV like Supernanny. Super HV

No vomits so far! Yay

HVQueen I shall make you a crown

Evening all, many hugs dished out to everyone in need. Can I have a few here too? Nothing at all major compared to lots of you ATM but we're back to clamping shut for savoury. I was giving a yoghurt after lunch and tea regardless of what he ate of his meal but I didn't today. I'm not sure if its the right thing to do but I feel like I couldn't be doing any worse ATM so never mind. I know I'm being a miserable fucker again, feel free to ignore me.

pass I'm a bit late to tell you you and p are doing great but I'll tell you anyway! Sounds like she's giving stuff a go which is great. I know I'm hypercritical for telling you not to worry but please don't. I worry because I'm stupid/inadequate/a complete failure and you are not

yw so sorry about your aunt :(

mm and chasing huge hugs

Haven't sorted Father's Day. Fucksticks. I may look on moonpig at mugs. I wanted to do something lovely and special but I've not had time.

Hope lo is ok gt

Sounds like n has been great today evil :)

I did get one thing right today. Took e to a mother and toddler group this morning with a friend. Spur of the moment. E seemed to really enjoy it and although my anxiety had me on the verge of tears and I had been upset as e refused breakfast I didn't cry and even spoke to people. I might even go back!

Anyway, you've all got fuckloads to deal with and I'm just being a misery today. I'll come back when I'm a bit more positive! tomorrow or later cos I love catching up with you all even if I'm best off not posting

FC for good nights for all

One millions more posts now

I am finding that selling is more exciting than buying on these local pages and Gumtree. Going to head over to Cloth bum sites soon when I feel a bit braver. It is amazing what shite some people will buy :-) and I have 27 pairs of kids shoes/boots listed and someone wants to buy them all! Might be able to feed the kids after all

A crown to go with my cape

You called?

Cunts.

Kyz expect a fish to slap you shortly ((((((((((((((((((hug))))))))))))))))))))

If you get a cape and crown I'm having wings

I call your cunt, I raise you cuntworm!

I thought you already had wings

I've got 2 weeks to pay day and too much month for the money, so I'll be selling my shite on facebook this week . I say shite, Next clothes. They fetch good money!

I took £49 worth of clothes back today - he doesn't need any more new ones right now. So that is £49 extra for me thank fuck. One babygrow in a 3 pack he had grown out of pretty much had faded really badly. I can't sell it on, so I took it back . The other one was a 2 pack of rompers, he wore one, and it had shrank - you could see it next to the other! I thought it was a bit snug on him when it was 6-9 months. And the others were just stuff I bought that I don't think he will get any wear from. I have no shame. .
