Kindof, don't take what I said about the bottles to heart btw, as I said, we didn't have much problems with wind, change of milk and infacol was enough to sort out our problems so I have no experience of the bottles. Hope they help! (then you can come on and say - told you so ner ner ner!)

LOL ok (Although I wont say I told you so lol)

Caz - No I was going to ring her today, well yes sorry I spoke to one at the weigh in clinic last week she just told me to give him cooled boiled water?

Thats ok MDW

Aless - Thanks for that I will look into it

I'm dying to join Slimming World, sad I know, but I am sick of eating crap (I know I odnt have to join SW to stop that but ya know lol)

Fitzio - LOL I am not going to ignore you and I dont think you are patronising

Elliot sounds the same as Holly, he has no bother getting burps up and doesnt have reflux (the couple of times he's been sick is cos he's drank too much milk)

I tried Infacol for well over a week, we are now onto the gripe water, if that doesnt work after a week I was gonna try the Colief (a few of you have mentioned it now) but I am still going to get the Anti colic Bottles today when boots opens cos I cant see how that could make anything worse if that makese sense lol

He now gets warmed milk and he gets fed upright (thankfully with him being 11 pound already and a big baby he can hold his body really well)

Thanks Sami mmm that jar looks nice OH likes just pasta and sauce (I have to have some form of meat in there though or I find it boring lol)

Sami - I am and I'm not if that makes sense, I am more relaxed about it that OH (hence me being downstairs with elliot, I only came down here cos OH was getting very stressed and I only woke him for help at 4 lol I'd been at it on and off since 1)

Like I say I am better at it when I am tired than OH is, but during the day when Elliots been crying i've managed half an hour of non stop screaming before I've gone to get OH to take over

why did my child decide 5am was a good time to start the day? :eek:
he drained a bottle at 6am so I suspect only having 2ozs of his bedtime bottle is to blame *rollseyes*

just got OH tto put the item I need to return in the car for later but in the meantime I'm going back to bed! :cool:

hugs kindof - it does getter better I promise :kisses3:

Or it gets better and then it gets worse again. :eek: But let's not scare her too soon.

Tara - hope you have a nice holiday and get something sorted out with your son *hugs*

Kindof - there is light at the end of the tunnel even though it doesn't seem like it at the moment. How many toddlers do you know with colic?! It will get better, so just stay strong and try and get through these days as best you can. Charlotte had it for a few months, so I know how you feel *hugs*

Busy weekend and got loads done. Feel more confident about uni now and we have a bath in the bathroom now. It's fab and I love it. It's deeper and wider than a normal bath and I lay in it fully clothed and it felt so comfy. Can't wait until we can use it.

In typical fashion the hot tap is faulty :wall:Going to check it and see if it just needs a new washer. If not the bath with have to come out so we can take it off and return it.

Morning How is everyone? Thought i'd pop in to say hello. Has everyone had a good Easter?

Morning ladies,

Isla was awake and doing her milk shuffle across the bed so I latched her on to feed then checked the time, 3.30am :eek: I wish these teeth that are bothering her would break through and stop disturbing her sleep, she's been a misery guts all weekend and the waking's in the night are getting earlier and earlier. You can see the teeth bulging across her gums

Becles that bath sounds lovely! Hope the tap's easily sorted though.

Glam - Jack & Isla are obviously conspiring against us. We may have to ban them from seeing each other :rotfl:

Koag - it does get easier, I look back at the first few weeks after Isla was born and it's a blur. All of a sudden you realise 'hey, we're moving forward' and it doesn't feel such a struggle. The tiredness, worrying about baby feeding, sleeping etc does ease off. And don't worry about cancelling visitor's. If your not feeling upto it, tell them no. You've only recently given birth, your allowed to call the shot's

Tara ((((Huge Hugs)))). I really hope you can convince him to stay. As Sami said, could social services do anything? It's my worst nightmare.


My baby appears to have 'the bug' again.
She woke at 11ish, and seemed really thirsty. She drank a full TT sippy cup of water, then was sick two minutes later. Then cried for more water, was sick again, and so on all night! Along with the smelly sulphor type pumps and diarwoowoo.
She's had a cup of water this morning with dioralyte (sp) in it, and has kept it down for an hour now. (Fingers are crossed!).

I might try some toast and water when she wakes up. I don't want to risk milk just yet.

I'm soooo tired!

ooh Kian had a good nights sleep. woke from his marathon nap about 9.15pm. had his bottle and we sat him on the couch chatting to hom and he played with one of his toys. we went to bed bout 10.30pm and he slept till 5.30am, gave him soother and i got another hour sleep. bottle at 6.30 and then he slept till just before 8am. me and DH were awake before him lol!!

just had another good breakfast, missed dinner last night as he had fallen asleep so trying again today.

glam- Kian throws himself around in his learn and groove. he tilted it so much yesterday in the garden that we had to take him out of it. i was hoping to get till he was 1 but its not looking that way

Hello lovelies! I've been MIA while we've had our new kitchen done. It's getting there, although there is still a lot to do :eek:.

Kindof- I totally agree with Henry's MIL (Boo!) that you need to call the shots in who visits you, what you do etc and if that means you just stay in and nap as much as you can to catch up on your sleep then that's okay. Don't feel bad about it, you have a teeny tiny baby so you can do what you like. Also please make time to see the HV. I know a lot of people on here don't rate them, but I am lucky enough to have an awesome, common-sense one so they do exist. Also just to add that H definitely picks up on when I am stressed and will not settle. It's a vicious circle, as of course I get more fraught and he gets more screamy! Nightmare, but the best thing you can do is try and take a few moments and breath deeply.

Boo- Henry is the same with his sleeping at the moment. We have some nights where he does 7-6 then some nights like last night where he wakes up a few times. I think it is his teeth as we have the rosy cheeks and dribble, but I can't see anything.

Off to baby clinic today for the first time in 6 weeks! Interesting to see what my chunk has put on.

Matching pressies, like at Christmas? I've been working on it tonight.. will let you know when I've [STRIKE]told OH[/STRIKE] decided

Ahh, I see I hope you manage to have a nice time

Thankyou He's really mastered his sitting now, he seems much happier for it

You know it :Dalthough most of it was coincidence at Christmas and we had the elc truck way before you (so ner ner na ner ner ;))
as Rhys is a master sitter now I give it a week or 2 before he crawls for the physio then sits down and gives her the finger :cool:
Ed now sits up when he wakes so I'm greeted my his cute lil face (crying) in stead of just a crying crib in the morning, which is nice
