  • Oh Sami whilst you are about. Thank you for the advice re: goats milk that you gave me many moons ago (I did say I would store it until needed ;) ) I'm going to switch Liam to see if it will help to settle his eczema. He has been pretty bad since his birthday, so about the same time I switch from formula to moo milk.

    I asked Mum to look out for it today if she was going out, her response: That's what you used to have...why does she not tell me these things??!! :wall:

    Coz I'm soo important I've done a seperate post just for ME :p
    or I just didn't want to win a prize for longest post ever ;)

    Yesterday was quite eventful, we went to build a bear in the morning so mum could ruin Christopher buy Christo-bear some PJs, She also got him a carrier *rolleyes* but MDW if you think it would fit Katie's dolly/toys they are £5 so not too bad. I saw they are doing a sanrio thing soon I think I NEED a chococat I love him :o
    Then I realised just how badly I needed sleep when the boys fell asleep on the way to costco so instead of waking them to go in I had a nap too :p in the carpark of costco! Thankfully Ed has been sleeping in his own bed and hasn't woken up at 4am for the last two nights/mornings, unfortunately he has oral thrush :( he's got the nystan drops and seems to like them which is good and bad as they work best when kept in the mouth a bit but Ed swallows them down quick but at least he's not spitting them all over me like he does with the super sticky lactulose! I am now very worried I'm going to get it on my nips and be in horrible pain tho :eek: what did peeps get when they had it? was it normal canestan cream and did you have to wash it off before feeding? (and if so how do you wash it off? would a baby wipe do it ? :s)

    Also there is talk of hubby being promoted at work, I'm not getting too excited yet as it is reliant on his bosses actually getting rid of the dead wood coke addict golden boy who they just keep on despite him being the worst employee EVER!! (for like 5yrs!!) but it is just what hubby wants to do as it means less time getting filthy dirty and more time wandering around with a clipboard bossing others about :D

    Sami, the Dr should have given you micanizole cream for your nips at the same time as treating Ed... It's comon practise to treat mother and baby if bf... Info here: http://www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/pdfs/BfN_Thrush_leaflet_Feb_2009.pdf
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    You are most welcome :D
    :rotfl:at your mum though! I had a big long conversation with mum in the car yesterday and learnt a load of stuff I had no idea about her, funny how you can see someone a squllion times a week but know so little about parts of their life!
    so anyway... Tesco own brand is the cheapest goaty milk usually but they only have it at my 'big' tesco not the smaller local one but St Helen's Farm was on offer last time I bought it which made it cheaper. Sainsbury and tesco also stock st helen's farm goats yogurt which I use for the boys too, I just pop some puree fruit or if I'm lazy a lil bit of nesquick/crusha to add flavour :cool:

    Thank you :D
    I didn't think had any symptoms as yet but I noticed that leaflet mentions loss of colour and my nips are a little pale, just so you all know :p

    oh and PS. has anyone ever heard of/used https://www.cqout.com ? it looks a bit like ebay shops/amazon market place there is a shop on it that is the only place I can find some books I want for Ed at a decent price.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Sami i had priority tickets, but the seats are allocated randomly cos there was people with standby who had better seats than people with priority tickets (who weren't late) from what i could gather by earwigging. :p
