Bailey Just click on my username then homepage and it'll take you to the group, most people have written on its wall who they are on MSE so you can find anyone u want

Beccles: for the colours see if you can get some coloured cellophane in blue, red, yellow and green and tell ur LO to try reading something with each diff colour on it. Not all find the colours help but if he does it should be like when someone who needs reading glassess puts them on and it suddenly get clearer IYKWIM

Good luck with getting him tested and not loosing gloves

hi

going back to work in a couple of weeks and still bbreastfeeding, ive read that ive got to tel my boss, but not sure what to write, i only want to express at work, has anyone been in this situation.

Why is the NHS system so crap?? I got a referal to the paediatrician only to be told he won't get seen untill another months time! I'll def be complaining, a month is far too long when this has been going on for months and have been fobbed off with things that don't work properly. Gggrrr i'm not happy.

Keely, not sure if the system is same in your area but with us they had to say how quickly the appt was needed ie emergency/urgent/soon/routine. If you not happy check that they haven't specified routine. My GP was on the ball because his son had suffered with silent reflux and knew how painful it is.

My LO has been very clingy and tired since having his jabs.

i know he's not classed as urgent as they said they'd have kept him in the hospital on saturday (he wasnt dehydrated-must have kept something down)..but its supposed to be soon. The gp said he'd been seen quickly, but a month isnt my idea of quick :rolleyes: we wrote a diary of when he was sick etc too, as im sure they think im making it up just because he is managing to keep putting weight on and isnt dehydratred. it may not be a severe case, but its bad enough. i just wish they'd watch him for a day to see for themselves. i also feel as if they fob me off because im a 1st time mom-i must over exagerate or worry over nothing :rolleyes:

rant over....sorry.....:o

Keely if he was referred for an app "soon" then a month is very quick.
When my mum was referred for her hernia they said "urgent" = within 6 weeks
I assume the categories are the same for all types of referral

Carol: I haven't been in the situation myself but have you already told them in writing that you want to return? you could just pop a little line in there if not.
I found this if you have a wonder around the site it might have some help on there.
"Breastfeeding You should let your employer know in writing if you are planning to breastfeed when you return to work. Ideally you should do this before you return so that your employer has time to plan.
Your employer must carry out a risk assessment to identify risks to you as a breastfeeding mother or to your baby. If there are risks they must do all that is reasonable to remove the risks or make alternative arrangements for you. Your employer must also provide suitable rest facilities.
Although there is no legal requirement, employers are encouraged to provide a private, healthy and safe environment for nursing mothers to express and store milk."

still dont think its good enough, after all the problems weve had and had to swap gps etc too. i really think the nhs system isnt as good as it should be.

but looks like i have no choice but to wait and let elliot suffer in the meantime.
