We had thrush and I was prescribed oral daktarin (?sp), which cleared it up really quickly, especially as I had been suffering with it over 2 weeks before it was formally diagnosed.

Other than pain I had no other symptoms (Depresessed Thrush) and kept getting told the latch position was wrong. It was only when I went to an NCT BF group that one of the girls there suggested thrush. The NCT group was my last hope and I was going to give up BF, DS was 5 weeks old.

I lasted as long as I did because I am a stuborn cow and really really really wanted to BF. (I'm glad I stuck with it and only gave up in January when DS was 17 months old). I nearly bit through my tounge on numerous occasion because it was so painful.

Todays plans were derailed by a trip to casualty because I tripped over the hoover and dropped Izzy on her head She is fine, just a bit bruised (definitely no clothes that have to be pulled over her head for a few days!) and was pretty much ok by the time we got to the hospital. My hands were still shaking and she was grinning at the doctor

Hopefuly we can avoid another trip for a while now we've got the first one over and done with. I have no delusions that we will never have to take her again, but hopefuly not until she is up and moving and starts injuring herself

She got her own back on me this afternoon by throwing up on me so copiously that I had to borrow a t-shirt from my Mum to come home in - I tried to give her some calpol and it didn't go down very well!

Caz, I feel your pain, I was diagnosed with thrush when Celia was five weeks and we've still got it now! (She's twenty four weeks!) The medicine is working we just keep passing it back and forth I think!

The first big bump is definitely the scariest!
Did the docs warn you to keep a close eye on her as being sick is a symptom of concussion (or just being a baby!)
The best thing about living where I do is that my GP surgery is just across the road so when Chris had is first big bump I just grabbed my keys and ran across to them (after I'd managed to stop holding him, rocking whilst crying and looking like some kind of nutter!):o

i only have the pain and had a bit of itching which i put down to changing breast pads, looked in her mouth and saw white patches, googled it and thrush came up! luckily HV came next day with prescription but had never heard of this kind of thrush?

fritha i dont know how u manage all that time are they treating u both at once???? cant believe celia is 24 weeks already!

Charlie has just walked across the living room!!! we have had a few steps but this looks like he is off!

cazscoob

ladybird just to warn you that you may receive a call from your health visitor checking up on you. my friends LO bumped her head and they were on the phone within a couple of days - apparntly they check all those brought to casualty under 12 months.

Oh, poor Izzy!

OH banged Tom's head off a door frame (accidentally!!) when he was just a few weeks old. Unluckily for Tom it was the first bump of many - barely a day goes by these days when he doesn't bump some part of his body or another!
