Hmm, have spent the night catching up on and off between things. Holly is still up. She was tired, but got moany every time we put her down. She’s not like that unless something is wrong. She has now finally forced out the poo that has been troubling her and is full of beans! I am just letting her play in the hope that she will sleep longer and I can get a long lie.

Jillie – Holly is doing not bad with eating now, although on Mon she hardly ate anything! I guess it’s just up and down though and she is eating a bit more most days. She ate a small amount of porridge for breakfast, half a jar for lunch and is taking a small portion of HM puree for dinner. Tonight, we even managed some dessert and some rice cakes.
I had tuna pasta for lunch yesterday and she enjoyed munching on a couple of penne pasta quills. Because they had been coated in tuna mayo, they were quite good to grip. Just an idea for something different if you are looking for ideas of things you could have too (unless you don’t do tuna!)

I think Emulsifying Ointment is the best thing for dry skin.

I am reading the discussion on autism etc with interest, but nothing to add as I don’t know much about it.

Boo - Happy Birthday if it is indeed your birthday!

Beenie – I have nothing to add to what everyone else has said. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. And book your break to Scotland for a few days away. We’ll sort you out.

Seconded. Becles is it one of those where you go and stay for a few days - like an evil army type camp? We could have an MSE wobbly mummys weekend away! :rotfl:

They are starting some residential courses, but the one I was looking for was just weekly sessions. At my nearest sports centre it's on three times a week. You can go to any number of sessions and you can mix and match centres to suit too.

I've lost some weight off my top half. I bought some new bras a few months ago, but the cups are too big now and the straps keep slipping off my shoulders I really wanted to lose it off my bum, hips and thighs though.

I'm off to bed, night girls!

Becles, its all on my tummy, it looks horrid, all uneven and loose flabby skin. I hate it, I can't wear anything that makes it look better, it's like I've got jumpers shoved up there, shop lifter style. Loosing weight won't help it, I'm stuck with it for life (or until I can find 4 or 5 grand for surgery, to which DH said no due to the risks)

Yay! I can see Vi walking on FB now. Clever girl and v cute.
Taking my baby off to bed now. She has the hiccups and is being unusually cuddly. Think we might both just sleep in the spare room.

Night. x

He has always been a bit freaked by certain things, but he got better and now all of a sudden (over the past few weeks) he puts his hands over his ears and says his head is sore because of the noise. But the tv or whatever isn't that loud.

He's also drooling all the time right now too.

And eating paper, I had to fish sodden tissues out from the side of the couch where he had stashed them and that was after I told him off for eating them! He sat there and ate tissues one after the other! Like they were sweets! :eek:

hmm the drooling could mean there's something going on ENT
but otherwise you've described my Chris! he eats paper constantly, hates noise and has random hissy fits. I'm pretty sure he's as normal as any child of mine can be tho :cool: maybe it's not linked at all ??

Oh Sami, I used to know someone who travelled all the way from Ayre to Mary Cronk in Chichester on the night train, in labour with a breech baby!! Her own consultant had refused to let her try and deliver naturally and told her the only option was an elective caesarian, or an emergency CS once in labour...

you know the infamous breech on a train mum!!! :j

But then, would that mean that some people are wired that way but manage to re wire themselves? (as in the case of brain damage to certain areas of the brain forcing new areas to take over those tasks)

Yes, I believe this is possible, though in the case of autism rare. The brain is very plastic in the early years, and can make up huge structural deficits by forging alternative neural pathways. This is one of the reason why health puts in a lot of resources for kids on the spectrum in terms of SLT and OT, etc up to the age of 5, but then it tails off as they get older.

One of the things which kept being cited to me when DD was much younger was the case of the 3 year old who was born with half her brain missing, but this wasn't spotted until an MRI at the age of 3, because she had managed to learn to walk and talk just a bit slower than usual, which technically she shouldn't have been able to do because it was those parts of the brain which she lacked.

Dk - ooh I need to find me some baby groups so would be fab

Weezle - tahlie is probably about 10lb now she was 9.13 last fri.!

Beenie - sorry to hear stupid woman is about as much use as a chocolate tea pot!

Aless, jenny, lou, always - had a fab time thanks and think that's my bf in public issues sorted too now

boo - belated happy birthday Hun x

Well another 8 hours here but had a thought that maybe she is too warm! Altho the last 2 nights she has had not dirty nappy in the morning, just wet so that prob helps too. Would have thought she'd more grotty or hungry when she wakes after 8 hours but she's much the same as normal.
guessing that helps.

Morning all. I hope everyone has managed sleep of some sort. It seems that we have managed to get back into sleeping through the night again (we had lapsed while she was ill, and got back into having a night feed about 3am... for an hour and a half, so I had to be mean and get her out of that again... a big battle this time round, but we have got there ).
