October 2014 // thread 4 // a lot of night feed chatting!

[sazzlehopes]

Welcome everyone. You're doing a good job by the way. Remember that.

Ooh gp is out on visits so we just have to wait for our gp in 4 hrs time! Ffs

Oh moose hope you get things sorted out asap. We had sick after jabs too (and not a sicky baby). Aargh up again..just two hour gap!! WHere has my sleeper gone? Is there a growth spurt at 9 weeks??

Hope you get it sorted asap moose Would it be worth a visit to a&e? You'll get seen v quickly there.
Sorry to hear your baby's forgotten how to sleep Happy it could be jabs, or maybe just a thirsty night?

Yeh babymoose has never been a sicky baby but honestly i didnt know that much could come out of a baby! I was soaked, he was soaked, the bed was too it was horrible, i just cant believe ooh are allowed to do visits! Surely its either ooh or a&e :( sorry im just feeling incredibly grumpy that their advice was to get him seen urgently by a gp in the morning,
Hes had a bit of a feed and is now asleep next to me, im just going to lie here and watch him breathe :s

Poor mite I hope you get seen soon moose! Sending hugs x

Poor babymoose, did he sleep for long? Hope you can get an early doc's appointment.
DH has today and tomorrow off work. We're off to the Christmas markets this afternoon (weather permitting) and hopefully, since I have a mental age of about 10, I'll get a go on the chairoplanes too...

I had a child who puked most of yesterday, was grumpy and subdued... overslept etc. Was getting worried by last night, fed her little and often from 9 - midnight, holding her upright in between each feed. Hoped at least foremilk would keep her hydrated. No more sick, and you could see the colour coming back into her cheeks. Chirped her way through Cliffhanger on telly, had a massive feed at 1am then slept until 7. I hope that's it now.

Good luck moose, hope it's nothing serious.

munday' think you might be right, just thirsty but he has just woken up thirsty with a leaky nappy now... I feel a lot of washing coming on! moose* hope all ok and you are off to the Drs

Has anyone had their period yet? I am ebf at 9 wks post c section and I think it is here although seems weird as comes a couple of days and then goes, fairly light too. At 6(7) wk check GP said couldn't be but more blood now (sorry tmi)

Dreadful night here too. I presume he had a sore and/or weird feeling tongue after getting his tie snipped at 6 last night. Was completely inconsolable and wouldn't even feed from about 10 - 11.30 when he eventually basically cried himself to sleep snuggled against me in bed in just his nappy. Then woke up sad and grizzly every hour or so. He seems normal now though so hopefully he's ok, poor wee thing.

Feeding feels better already I think!

happy I can't directly answer your question as I'm not bf and I'm on Cerazette. But I had a c-section and I'm sure someone (possibly HV) told me bleeding could last up to 12 weeks ! Mine stopped at around 7 but it was coming and going for a bit before that, especially if I'd been more active or lifted anything heavy.

Ah right! Assumed mine had totally stopped at about 6 weeks. Will ask hv today, didn't think they did mums, just babies! Didn't think I had been overdoing it but have upped my walking etc game and lifting him in car seat etc now

Gps are crap
Basically said all babies are sick from time to time dont worry! And that him waking uo coughing in the night is nothing to worry about because the one place where she listened to his chest sounded clear
She also flat out lied and told me omeprazole syrup doesnt exist (because he keeps spitting out the dissolvable tablet) i wish i had just gone to a&e at 5am. Im so sick of being told things are normal when its not normal for him to be sick at all let alone projectile across the whole bed :(

Poor baby moose . Cant believe gp's can blatantly lie to your face! Mine told me only paediatricians can prescribe omprezole, then a doctor prescribed it a few days later absolutely shocking its all about money, i know liquid omprezole costs more and even more with a flavour added to it, it makes me so

I half feel its because ive been there so often, theyve just got me down as some crazy first time mum
and i just feel more stressed with it being xmas next week as we're off to the in laws in the middle of nowhere so a lot further to travel if he did need seeing again

When do you leave me moose. If he's not any better tonight just phone ooh or go straight to a&e, i feel exactly the same as you regarding gp's, you know your baby best and if something's not right you will know, so just cut the gp's out and go elsewhere for piece of mind

Not til xmas eve, if hes still coughing tonight ill try ooh again and failing that a&e, unfortunately dh believes if gp says hes fine then he is, so might take a bit of persuading

Fuck! Another one here with suspected tongue tie! At 10.5 weeks. Took baby betty to see a lactation consultant this morning.

Am now booked in to see go this afternoon, but worried that she might not confirm it if not an obvious one, as she did her 8 week checks and nothing spotted then... Might she be embarrassed to effectively admit she missed something? Do they even check for that??

*gp

I don't remember them checking for tongue tie at tree gp check (although I remember the midwife bring slightly grumpy about doing it at birth).

Today I'm feeling bored, frumpy, saggy, grumpy. Boo. Also, parent faliure of the morning: went to kiss the baby and my glasses fell off and clonked her on the nose. Oh how she howled.

No my go didnt check either, didnt ask anything about how feeding was going. My sons was checked by a hv at a bf group, have to wait til 6th of jan tho to be seen by hosp ENT

tatty also bored, frumpy, saggy and generally unattractive. I'm also annoyed at oh, part rationally, part irrationally. Generally not terribly sunny! All I want to do is eat chocolate.

Going to hand over responsibility for child tonight and go to the gym alone. I might just sit in the cafe there and stare at the wall. Alone.

Haha goats good plan. I have never argued with DH as much before, since baby betty arrived. I actually accused him the other day, of getting distracted by the tv and not giving her full attention when feeding as she only has small amounts with him. He went apoplectic. Think it was only partially true...

OH is being nice, so I feel totally ashamed of myself, but I can't help being a crosspatch. Yesterday evening was the first evening (in 9 weeks!) the baby hasn't wanted to feed constantly, though, so fingers crossed I'll get to have a bath. A hot one. On my own. And in the new year I'm going to finally be able to start running again, which might help me feel a bit less disgusting. Now I'm going for a walk, which will have to do. What I really want, though, is to put on some nice clothes and go out on the razz. No chance.

We don't really argue - have never shouted at each other - but we had a tense conversation last Friday about him being late due to faffing. My days work more smoothly when he's not around, and no amount of me telling him what time we had to leave (4 times over a week with explanation) made it sink in. By the time he was ready to go, pip had been in her car seat for 15 minutes waiting.. ramping up the volume. Doesn't bother him apparently, but my boobs ache and are leaking, so my day is slightly less good. Was furious.
