    OMG!!!!!

    I can't believe I forgot to shout about how absolutely, amazingly, fantastic the OASIS concert was...............

    I had the time of my life, and they were brilliant live:T:T

    We left the house at 11am and didn't get back until over 15hrs later at 2.30am:eek: it was a looong day. I coped well leaving the kids for that long and mainly found that I missed them at bedtime. Putting them to bed and having kisses and cuddles with them all:p I'm glad my mum had them though, felt much more relaxed about the whole thing:)

    hi mel! that must be some size of a baby you have lol! erin is just going into 3-6 months and she is 16 weeks today!

    yeah the jags are usually 8,12,16 weeks? erin got her second at 14 though as she wasnt well enough to get them at 12 and they only do clinic once a fortnight!

    Aaaah maybe the clinic is only weekly/fortnightly or something. If I don't get a letter by next week I will give them a ring.

    He is very long, I had he same trouble with ds1, well still do actually he is always in trs a year or two above his age, so the length fits and thankfully they all have those elasticated pulley things in them now cos he is like a skeleton!!

    all good here thanks mel, except the reflux has got worse, had to up the dose of gaviscon and he really doesnt like it so feeding time is now a massive battle! he has started getting chubby now (and my washing load has halved!!) so we know its working when we can get it down him :rolleyes:

    he was last fed at 7am and keeps crying on and off but wont eat :rolleyes: but it might be the jabs yesterday, he's not normally this bad. he brings calpol back up again in minutes, i think he might be allergic :eek:

  • Me too. I think that is the main reason I avoid all the Baby Groups and friends with babies. As horrible as it sounds, other people having success at breastfeeding upsets me no end :o

    stick with me then... i sucked at it! :D

    my DD is off to see Britney spears mime her way through a concert tonight,
    is it just me and my anxiety problems that worry no end about things like this... even though shes going with her dad who i trust 100%
    i wont relax til shes home!

    Daniel is currently sat in the waiting room at the docs with his dad (that sounds great doesnt it... lol) he had a few spots appear over night, no idea what they are (did the glass test though, all fine)
    we were going to take him anyway as he has a patch of skin under his chin thats really sore... it looks like hes fallen over and grazed it but he hasnt... its from the constant dribbling and the fact that it never gets a chance to get dry!
    hopefully they will give him some cream, or a barrier... and that they dont catch anything horrible from being sat in triage all morning!

    day 3 of my WW diet by the way.... going along nicely at the moment,
    LOVE the points thing, had a massive dinner last night and it was almost point free! i was full all night

    i'm all over the place today...

    caz, am i right in thinking you're 24/25? i wouldnt do it this young and i'm 10000% certain i dont want any more babies!

    feelie, i dont think anyone can really say anything more to you to assure you that theres nothing wrong with not BF. you've tried, you've had support, he just doesnt get it. the amount of trained support you've had that havent been able to help, and the fact your HV told you to stop both should tell you something really. (hugs)
    did you ring your HV?

    Daniel used to do this, we thought he was allergic for a while because he would sick it back up straight away,
    thankfully, he grew out of it and has been able to take it fine for sometime now, so dont rule out the life saving liquid forever!
