MSE Parents Club Part 10

pink charlie had this for a while when he was changed over to formula, i would lie him on his mat with nappy underneath and push his legs in and out, cycle them and generally keep his legs moving for some reason it usually helped and we have success. i would also try to give her some extra water if you can and found a cup to be easier than a bottle with BF babies!

Hello, it looks like I was missed. Thanks Fitz.

RL has gone a bit mental this week, been catching up with friends. Had a bit of a scare and had to rush Kezia up to the hospital as the Doc and I were concerned about the flash causing white eye (like red eye but more worrying). Anyway they were waiting for us when I got there, scared me stupid that they wanted me to get there so quickly but all was ok but they did say it was better to get it checked out.

For anyone else who might be worried this is what I was panicked over

I asked for it to be checked at the 6 week checkup too but I have had quite a few pics of Kezia like this so I wanted to be sure. 4 Doctors (though not all speciallists) have now looked and they seem happy that she is ok.

Didn't realise I'd missed a meet yesterday, although after the week I've had I probably wouldn't have had the energy for a drive to Basingstoke anyway. The whole weekend has now been designated as Kezia time, visitors are banned and we are just going to enjoy each other. I've even baked myself a cake this morning.

She is still asleep thankfully, after the last two mornings of waking in the night, so I'm just off to check on her.

Hope you are all well, I might skim read back a bit if she is still sleeping.

i remember seeing this on GMTV years ago, i must admit i check every photo of K to see if there is any 'white eye'. i have mentioned it to some of the mums at the bumps2babies and they said they had never heard of it.

glad they have said there is nothing there

Right - Caitlyn seems to be having trouble pooing at the moment. It usually comes out but is painful for her and she only does bits at a time. Yesterday I could see when I changed her nappy that one was imminent, but it really hurt her and made her cry. It didn't come out and hasn't since. I thought as I was typing earlier that she had done it because she really cried and I could smell it. However, when I went to change her nappy there was nothing there. So it seems as if it was too painful. I know she will go eventually, I just want to make it less painful for her. Does water help? As she is BF I thought that was enough and she wouldn't need any water. Do any of you ladies have experience of it? I'm thinking weezl did, but not sure if it's the same thing?

I don't think we ever had constipation particularly but we found that when Alice started eating solid foods, her insides took a while to get used to it and things were very variable.

Yes it's since she started on solid foods. She's not had a good 'emptying' for a good few days, so I know it will happen eventually - it just hurts her!

Morning,
pink- is the poop solid when it's out? Have you tried rubbing Vaseline on her botty exit to help grease the wheels as it were
harley- eep! Glad she is ok, how scary!!

PP, if she is being weaned I think she needs water too? I'm sure lovely Weezl posted about it when Tigs asked a while back.

Hi SB, I've not managed to talk to you recently :eek:
How are you diddling? could you make a trip to The Lowry outlet on 7th April?

Sami_Bee

wooooooooooo! :j sister & her OH have just had their offer on a house accepted!

got-it-spend-it

Nice to see you back Harley! Glad to hear that the docs think Kezia is okay but it must have been really scary. We're thinking of a meet in Winchester sometime soon, which I'm guessing would be much easier for you to get to? I'll keep you posted!

Sami- yay for your sister!

We braved Morrisons and we now have hot cross buns, nom nom nom!
