The 6th Broadly Gemini Luxury Bus - this way ladies.

[FrussoHathor]

Welcome aboard our 6th bus ladies.

Hey places

Do you have any teething gel/power? She could be teething. Just rubbing her gums might help if you don't.

Or over tired. Ds turns into a monster when he's over tired. I put him somewhere safe and leave him to cry for a bit, and then go back to him.

No recent jabs. Have tried feeding, but she is refusing. MIL and FIL are abroad atm.

I don't have teething gel/powder. But if that could be it then I am packing us up off to Boots.

And thank you for the hugs! Much needed.

places I swear by nelsons (homeopathic) teething powders it seems to chill the out a bit. Although you might find a drive sends her to sleep.

Could she be due a big poo?

No driving here haha. She is getting the joys of an evening tube ride.

I thought poo aswell, the only time I e had really really distressed crying that I could t fix with wind or a boob was a huge poo explosion! We had 5 changes in 10 minutes when it came

I thought poo or over tiredness too.

For poo, either ying him flat and just rubbing his tummy or else putting him in his bouncy chair both work. The chair always brings it out.

For over tiredness, sometimes only a swaddle will do. It's pretty hot so use a muslin. You get through the initial crying and DS does eventually give in.

Hope you're doing ok. X

Right. We've got the gel. That was not fun. DD was crying the entire time and I am feeling like a pretty crap mother. It's not working yet. Will try tummy rubbing and bouncy chair.

You're definately not a crap mother. You're trying to figure out why he's upset. That's far far away from crap.

She's asleep!!! Hallelujah! I dare not move from position on sofa with DD draped over me. I reckon we will just stay here... for like ever.

Been there places! You do what you have to to get through sometimes.

DP has still not bloody called back. I am really pissed off.

Frus ~ I should have given you £20 instead of wasting it on another crappy bottle! That boob like bottle is rubbish. The teat is too flimsy. Baby pear struggled to keep hold of it so it kept falling out of his mouth. Another one bites the dust! That's me done. I'm a solely breastfeeding mummy and I'm proud of it Sod going to events that don't allow kids like my friends upcoming wedding. I'll happily stay at home and feed baby pear

Oh dear places sorry to hear it's been a rough evening for you!! So glad she finally settled. We've all been there. Sending hugs and your way after that! Hope your dp gets back to you soon. That's a stressful situation to have to go alone.

It was like a freaking maze inside the house. The bedrooms were super tiny and two of them were connected together for some odd reason. The master bedroom had weird cabinets that didn't really serve a purpose and just prevented a bed from actually being able to fit inside. The kitchen was partially finished and there weren't footboards anywhere in the house. It was really bizarre.

How wierd bring

pear will pm you

I definately have mastitis again. Red blotch is back. The pain has gone, that was terrible. It must be the mastitis pain that I've not had before. Feeding was agony this morning. But ibuprofen, antibiotics, hot breastpad, and frequent feeding today seems to have helped.

And I've just figured out how the duct for blocked in the first place. I've just caught ds asleep with his hand under my boob. He does it when feeding, but we must have been sleeping like that for a few nights.

Oh Frus poor you!!! Will you be going to the doctors for medicine tomorrow? Hope you have someone to help you

I've got abs left from last time. Have apt monday.

And the reason why I'm wide awake at 2am? Ds' cot stand broke I woke to ds whinging (that I almost ignored) and ds on floor covered in cot (mattress blanket sheets) and cot on side/ half upside down on ds

Frus!

We're talking pram cot on a pine stand. So large Moses basket size. And I've no idea how it fell. Except that the bit on the stand that holds stand/cot in place when it's up is broken at the joint/rivet, so the legs splayed.

he was there face down on the floor grumbling (but not crying) like he does when he does tummy time.

He's okay.

??omg frus! Was it the weight of the cot? So glad he's ok
Places glad you got her to sleep, I must admit if I know dd2 needs a sleep I just put her in the cot and shut the door, I've never known her to cry longer then a few mins, when I try to hold her I get scratched and head butted, all sorts
Pear, I have got dd2 to have a bottle by just giving her it at a time she doesn't have a sleep after so like 4, she doesn't seem to mind then, she still likes a boob at bedtime, maybe try one of your old sturdy ones again at that kind of time? Or just give up lol he will eventually stop he'll have to go to school

Oh and in the kitten house, dh is pissing me off

The rivet just popped out. Which I think might have something to do with DH moving the stand yesterday. He doesn't haVe the lightest of touch.

kitty what'a DH done/not done. Or is he just breathing?

He's breathing frus!!
Just lots of little things that undermind what I'm trying to do, I told him this morning not to take dd to nursery before shed done a wee in the potty so we knew shed had one, when I ask had he he said no because it was getting late and she may have allready done one as he'd kept her nappy on while shed had her milk etc why do I bother
This is one of many

Oh and he "didn't hear" dd1 wake at 12:30 and 1 this morning
