How are the boys x

oh love poor wee man.
boys are fine still snotty hopefully finally asleep. think I have mastitis again not sure but bloody painful

No mastitis, just nipple stuff

All the poor DCs! I don't know what to suggest, the bowel situation is awful Being feverish won't help as it causes dehydration.

Elbear is being a star and signing for toilet. He is more and more consistant with getting it right, bless! .... (tmi) he does the most enormous poos (all that good vedge & fruit) thank goodness he is on the loo as it would never escape the nappy restriction. Just need school to get a move on with facilities at school for toileting!

And sort the sleep out! Maybe school will tire him out again? One can hope, dh doesn't help, interacts with him too much.
Sick of all the snot now, it's just never ending!

Hoping for a dy day today, so far so good
My good friend is 6 weeks pregnant, after a few years of trying and IVF

Elbear wishes the baby boo would stop climbing up him and planting open mouthed/dribbly/snotty 'kisses' on him! He actually starts retching Thats what comes from being a sitting target - he just can't get out of the way!!!

Awww bless el and al.
Glad it's not mastitis again giddy.
Lil bro is 1 yr old in a few weeks!! Hes still breastfed lol.

Question for you all...
Ive noticed for some time now that ds 2s lips keep going a pale purpley colour and his eyelids do too?
He has suffered with chest too
could it all be linked?

It could be how often does he do it? Can you record it on your phone and show it to his gp?

He

Does it a few times a day.
cant link it to anything like drinking bottle (he does however choke on his milk and that causes him to cough a lot just during feeding)
its cool in the bedroom atm and his lips look fine full of colour all nice and pinky
its just as if they just become drained

He
