Just left Rhys nappy free for a while - for the first time He laid there almost completely still, star-like, just muttering for ages, then came alive again once I put his nappy back on him. I have a child with nudity issues :rotfl:

I experienced my first poo with nappy today.... I only turned my back for a second and there it was :rotfl:all over the pram... lucky I had a blanket in the bottom

oh I forgot to say there was this annoying old woman in the changing rooms at the pool who clearly disapproved of me taking Finn swimming. She asked how old he was and when I told her she acted really shocked and said something like, "oh, I didn't know you could take them in so young! He's so little!" and then kept shooting me tut-tut looks the whole time. Uhhh, that is the point of parent & baby time in the pool?

(not sure how he liked it! good sign is he didn't cry, right? Will deffo buy some sort of wetsuit/swimsuit thing as it was too cold for him, I think. Where can I buy this? eBay? Also, can I 'dunk' him straight away or should wait a while? I'm not paying for lessons so just curious what other baby-swimmers have learned/done.)

Have emailed hospital pals and threatened to go to papers and contacted Unicef about the BF award they gave St.Micheals!!!

If you think extra people contacting them would help, feel free to PM me the e-mail address and I'd be happy to send them an e-mail too.

Rang doctors back and no chance of any earlier appointment unless I develop new symptoms that need urgent attention

I feel more down now than I did this morning.

:grouphug: I went back to see your previous post as I'd missed it earlier. I would have thought that if you require a second opinion from a different doctor they should give you one sooner than that. I wonder if maybe doctors see so many people who think they are worse than they are that they end up not taking people seriously who really are ill? I know when I was ill in pregnancy it took ages to find a doctor who actually took it seriously and I'm convinced it's because lots of people get it much more mildly and possibly make more of a fuss so they didn't realise how serious it was.

I've just done a google and apparently second opinions are low priority. Perhaps you could phone NHS direct and speak to them and then if they advise you to see your doctor you may be able to get a sooner appointment? Also might be worth when you tell them about your symptoms to use phrases such as "It's becoming unbearable" rather than "It's making me depressed" to try and avoid them going off on the "it's all just depression" mentality?

Fitzio - I wonder if your problems with BFing Holly varying from baby to baby or possibly have something to do with shape? I'm just randomly musing here, so tell me to shut up if I'm being insensitive...I also have mahoosive boobies (my nursing bra is HH ) but the size hasn't really caused any problems other than making it difficult to remain modest in public! So maybe it wasn't the size at all for her, but something else entirely...not that we'll ever know but I did get concerned after H was born when you reported trouble . I'll stop rambling now.

Hi aless,

My nursing bra was bigger than that! It could be to do with the shape too (weirdly long!), and also to do with the baby as another baby might not have had the same problem. I am not saying that it would happen to everyone with big boobs, I just wanted to let Glam know that if she had not had the boob op, they could still have caused her problems. It won't put me off trying again if I have another baby, but I will be more prepared for it if it doesn't work out.
Glad you had a good time at the swimming. We have still to take Holly. I plan to do it every week, but never seem to get round to it.

Tara - your DD is having a time of it. Hope you can make some progress tomorrow. It's a lot of unnecessary extra pressure when she already has enough going on. In relation to the Ibuprofen, I found an NHS link stating that it is passed into the breast milk which should not be harmful to babies but that for premature babies, you should check with medical staff:

Loads of people seem to think you have to wait until after their vaccinations for some reason. We didn't take Alice until she was about eight months but that was because a) we hadn't got round to and b) there was hardly any time between her feeds and sleeps to do stuff - not because we thought there was anything wrong with it.
