cunty LC slept through like that from very early on. It's wonderful. He now goes to bed at 7pm, gets up at 7am, life's a dream compared to many people with kids his age. Enjoy it.
silver you said a customer screwed up t'other half?
honey Fer sure you take him. He needs to know how to fulfil your every need in labour . I think a footstool is a good idea - I would be more comfortable with one I think. I feed on the sofa in the daytime, and at night I sit right back against the bed-head and use the dream genii pillow thing (and a swaddling blanket).
cheggars I feel for you It's horrible when you don't know what's going on, isn't it. I've just had Comma at his second cranial osteopath appointment - have you considered/done that? With the two of them cramped in together I would expect they're more likely to have been squashed a bit. May be worth a try?
ski I'm sure you've read that Wakefield was completely discredited re the MMR, and with MMR rates dropping the autism rates haven't decreased - in fact are still going up. Also, my HV pointed out that most, if not all vaccinations are multiple ones, yet people are only concerned about the MMR multiple one, usually. I gave LC the MMR after extensive research and consideration, and that was before Wakefield was discredited, but it's a very personal decision and all I can suggest is that you do loads of your own research and see where it takes you. The separate vaccinations would only worry me if there's any measles or mumps in the area around the time, meaning that he could catch it before he has a chance to have all the jabs. In the UK they no longer give the MMR with the mercury based preservative.
I have to say that YOB is doing absolutely loads to look after me, dog, LC and Comma. Bugger the housework, we're both doing the minimum, which is basically washing nappies and clothes, vacuuming the sitting room so we have a room "ok for visitors" and trying to keep on top of the kitchen as much as possible. I have cleaned the bathrooms once since Comma was born (that's just "my job") and just clean out the bath before using it and don't worry about the rest. Other than that he's doing most of the cooking, 1/2 the nappies and where possible he's looking after Comma so I can get naps - usually managing a nap every other day. Dog hasn't been walked since Comma came home, but he lives outside and mooches around the garden and the woods behind our house all day, so it's not like he's cooped up.
He's also working full-time, but at home so he can see what I'm dealing with which is perhaps the difference between my bloke and some others.
Give it another week or two and we will start to get our heads around life a bit more, but at the moment neither of us care whether the house is clean, etc. We're looking after US and getting used to our new person.
ski I have no idea why the thrush is so painful, unless it's because it's really inside the body (ie in milk ducts) and irritating tissue deep inside, whereas vaginal thrush would be more on the surface of the skin, albeit sensitive skin. I'm phoning the HV soon to see if they will be more forthcoming with stronger versions of the fluconazole.
