Ouch pass that sounds painful. Hope it's not too apinful. SOrry about your pie...I love pie, not had one in ages!

fatima No period here either.

Izzy Sorry you are still struggling to decide what to do re feeding. Personally I would give yourslef a huge massive slap on the back for getting this far with bf and switch to the special formula but that's just me and I would struggle inwardly with the decision too.

Pie was pretty tasty in the end. Or maybe I have just had enough

P was sitting in the living room the other day while I was in the kitchen. She started to cry for some reason, quite hard. I went in and she blubbed, put her bottom lip out and thrust her arms out at me. She is clingy but not very cuddly if that makes sense.

I lolled at the vision of E hanging onto strangers as kyz tries to walk down the street.

P also does the coy thing. She has the most intense stare but gets a bit freaked out when people stare back. Then she does the face burrowing thing.

Izzy they prescribe omeperazole and ranitidine for the most severe cases so it may not be a mistake. Don't beat yourself up whatever you decide - its not all bad whilst indian and pizza is off the menu Chinese isn't. It depends how much you eat out as that is the fucker. But yes fun comforting foods are rarer and you can never just grab what you fancy. I only feel sorry for myself when we eat out with family now and I pack a safe supermarket sandwich in case there's nothing safe on the menu - which is pretty often. Weigh it up I guess - you love BF and are amazing at it, but there is always the risk of accidentally hurting them. On the plus side if you're on the same diet as him - knowing what is and isn't safe quickly becomes second nature and your BM will help to heal him and you can introduce allergens more gently via your diet. But then you have the op and lack of wider family support to consider. Just go with your gut and make the choice slowly and surely not because you're feeling guilty or sad. I think you'll know when your minds made up - if that's now then ((((hugs)))) xxx

BP we get hugs and big open mouthed snogs - I luff it

I have an O in my bed.

Missed this. :) He hasn't been in our bed for a few months. Think he just stopped at 4 months.

He seems annoyed.

Had to stop typing and go and put him in his cot. He really isn't a cuddle monster yet!!

Mind you. I'm not. Like them in small amounts!

Hope he sleeps. I'm on the night shift :)

Awake! Fuuuuck!

It's so difficult. I just think the more I accidentally eat dairy the longer it's going to take to get out of my system and subsequently James'. I am honestly so stuck! I'm not confident continuing both meds without clarification from the consultant but not sure how to contact her as next appt not til October which is a way off yet I don't want to be over or under medicating him!

When I stopped feeding my daughter I felt so bad but ultimately at that point to is was what was best for both if us as i wasn't mentally capable of assessing the risks and benefits associated with feeding while I was on the medication. With him it's so difficult. I feel sad that my milk is hurting him yet it must have health benefits. I just don't know how im going to decide :-(

He is eventually asleep yet hasn't fed for ages so I reckon he will wake soon :-(

det at least he has been asleep. That's James just going to bed now. This is normal for us :-(

Just catching up...Kirrin, the 11 pairs were kids shoes and trainers. I cannot put J in pink flowery ones sadly.

Oh Izzy I so feel for you x

J woke screaming and coughing at 10pm. I had got to sleep around 9 as I had a distraught DD1 join me in bed. She is upset I am going back to work and is scared of being a P3. She does not want things to change. I found that quite reassuring, and said 'I guess that means you quite like me then' to which she replied 'I don't like you mummy, I love you' aww.

I have no idea what to do with J. He is scratching his skin like a crazy thing. Yesterday it was pretty much clear, today it is red raw. All he has had is his milk as he is not well.

Izzy I think the mups capsules are emptied and dissolved in 10mls water then the dose is drawn and given.

Putting him on the formula may not be the magic cure but it takes away self blame and blame from HCPs.

My boy is still in pain and a big part of me is really envious of how well you and J are being looked after. At least you know it is reflux and are being appropriately managed.

We had to go through normal formula, LF then Nutrimigen still with no referral and denial of it being reflux or CMPI. And his skin is only just being treated properly and still the underlying cause has not been identified. Yes you have a decision to make about feeding, but you have a choice and he is being looked after.

I am concerned now my recent disclosure will further undermine my efforts to get him sorted.

Finally found you all! I have a LOT of catching up to do Loads of stuff to tell you whinge about but I am knackered so shall return at a more civilised hour tomorrow. I do luffs you lot. Have missed you :(

We have missed you too Cat x

A tip for catching up - search posts by our Kyz as she is fucking awesome and never misses anyone out.

J finally asleep for the second time. Only 2.5 hours to sort him. I am in my bed!

Great. DD1 is talking in her sleep. She does not want to go to nursery with B and J (yes, I know those initials are rude, but technically B is a W anyway.)

And the fucking alarm I set for the bottles has gone off.

It is a fucking conspiracy.

Roll on sweary Wednesday. Prepare to be blue. Remember though, do not use the G word!

Aah VQ that makes sense - and also explains 1 person buying all 11 pairs!!
Poor J :( I wonder what on earth sets his poor skin off like that? Sending sleepy dust your way...

And sleepy dust for you too izzy You are having a rough time of it :(

catbag ! How lovely to hear from you :) Hope all is well with you and your brood?

Oh and VQ Wednesday has started. So you can bloody swear as bloody much as you bloody like :)

O been awake since 3. Do not know what he wants.

Same here det. Been awake since 2. She doesn't want milk, cuddle or play, she just wants me to hold her hand. While she is In cot. I'm tired.

A nap is in order later on.

Sorry to hear that det. G has had a rough ride this wvening too - not sleeping, wheezing, scratching. I had some cake with butter in earlier. Keep wanting to believe it will be ok, and that I've over reacted about the dairy. But i haven't. I feel like a real ratbag now. Sorry G.

Happy birthday to ds2 stunt - hope it was a lovely day.

Really felt for you re the pie and your hand pass. I've done that too - very nasty. And a proper "why did I do that?" moment.

Lily thank you for tolerating my ranting. Sorry your back is shot but very relieved the baby bjorn is not in use. Great that the physio is helping o so much. Good luck with your next check up.

Big hugs vq. I don't think that ads will count against you. I hope not, anyway. You are doing so well. It is wretched not knowing what is wrong. Hope you can get some allergy testing.

Izzy, kyz, bplp, hugs to you all too. Hope tomorrow goes better bplp. I feel for you. Izzy - you are doing so well, it is a hard decision.

Hope they drop off soon det and lily...

Bad night here too. Hope your O's have dropped off now det and Lily

Am so glad it's sweaty Wednesday, DS woke at 4.30 for the day. Just gave up trying to get him to sleep, and asked DH to take him downstairs as I got up in the night once a few times. That woke DD up so everyone is awake now. Ridiculous.

bry party sounds like hard work fun! Hope R has a great time!

Hey catbag

Have forgotten everything I wanted to say, so happy fucking Wednesday you'all!

Oh boo on the cake Bry it sucks doesn't it. The party sounds epic.

Izzy what VQ said on the meds (only additional advice is break the tab in 1/2, add water, leave for 5-10 mins to dissolve then stir and give. He can have 2mg / kg per day but they
push that dose up to 3+ in really bad cases). Omeperazole is amazing stuff. Can I suggest you try it before ditching BF as it would be rubbish to get amazing results and give the formula the credit and thus further ammo to beat yourself up?

We seem to be pretty set on 0-1 feed a night typically about 5am have been for 1.5 months now. So of course I expect that to go entirely hay wire any time soon. When does the 9 month sleep regression kick in!!! ???

Oh and accidental dairy slip ups don't reset the clock to zero as it were - they'll be out of his system in days Izzy so please be gentle with yourself.

Pass I do that regularly with one of our saute pans - DH eventually hid it from me. I hope the medicinal helped

Thankyou everyone for the congrats messages..I am soooo excited!
Dd has been a really easy baby too so I don't know if its her laid back personality and patience of a saint but I think she ll make a lovely big sister.
kyz is Definately awesome at summerizing posts!
And I had a flick through the feb 2014 thread and I've decided not to join...I find this thread difficult to keep up with sometimes and could not imagine another quiche as awesome as this one! So for those reasons I can't be arsed !!

Thanks yw. I really admire the way you have managed to hitt being dairy free so hard, and stick to it (I know you've had to as J has reacted so very horribly to it, but still...) You're doing so brilliantly and are a proper inspiration as well as a knowledge fountain. Need to get myself an inner wellie next time I see something nice and wonder if it will be ok.

catbag how was Cornwall?
