Thanks Beenie, DS1 has that one and has had it since he was 4. Is holding up great.

Hi all..

Well, Consultant is happy-ish :rolleyes: We can take him off two meds, reduce another (I already had.. shhhh ), and she's writing to kidney specialist (again!) to see if we can stop the weekly jab. I didn't realise but they've all had face to face meetings about Rhys, back in November!

Developmentally, she's very happy, but says she can feel some slight resistance in his arms and legs so wants the physio to give us exercises to do. Tbh, she said this last time and the physio dismissed it, but we have a new physio next month so we'll see what they say.

Weight wise, she said she wasn't happy when she saw the number on paper (4oz gain :cool:) but to look at him, he looks fine, not skinny and like "he has a good covering on him". We reweighed him and it was the same She's not actually that bothered now she's seen him in the flesh so just the same as we have been doing and see how he goes

She nearly fell over when I said I was still expressing :rotfl: Then hugged me when I said I was doing BFing supporter training I told her I was stopping at a year "because I've done my bit then" and she said she thought I'd done more than my bit Apparently her daughter didn't take to BFing so she expressed for 8wks and that was enough for her

She said he's an amazing little boy who is doing remarkably well considering the start he had. Said she'd never been so stressed over a baby before and she'd still be talking about him when she's walking round with her zimmer frame

Great news Elle!


I have had non stop screaming for an hour, no, sorry, 2 hours, from Amber. She has now been dumped in her bed. Might go offer her another bottle, but she is just screaming no matter what I do. Has hardly slept so is tired but refusing to give in. Ice cream isn't making me feel much better either.

could she be teething? Not sure what your thoughts on calpol are, but in this situation I usually try a little to see if it helps.

Just went to the pub for a meal. Had a steak ciabatta with caramelised onion relish, chips, onion rings, salad and coleslaw. Had to take my belt off when I got in, proper fat belly bulging out hahahaha.

Diet tomorrow? OK! I'll try and catch up later, nap time for Karen....

Ha! I have tried, changing the nappy, infacol, paracetamol, bonjella and a bottle! When they scream I'm more of a 'shove as much down their trap as you can till they seem better' type

Actually... I do have whiskey.... she is still screaming *wails with her*
