I've had this in the past -I kept the clot to show the mw (minging I know lol) as she was coming out later that day. She just said to keep an eye on it. Are you seeing your mw soon?
When I was waiting to be discharged after having E I had a really painful cramp and then passed the hugest clot I have ever seen (size of the palm of my hand at least_pale_) :eek:- I was so glad it happened before I left hospital as I would have been worried sick at home.

Congratultions Becles.

Can someone explain why my big kids can't be in the same room for 5 mins without falling out/arguing/fighting :mad:

Seeing her Monday for Sam's 10 day check (although he'll be 11 days) so will ask her about it then.

Infacol - does it work?

Always best to ask if you are concerned:)

Infacol, I never found it effective with any of my 4, but found dentinox colic drops excellent with all of them except dd it wasn't quite as effective for her, as she had full blown colic and needed colief (and dentinox for a while too)

BUT over the time I have been on here we have come to the conclusion that different remedies work with different babies. Some have found infacol better, others swear by gripe water......It really is a case of trial and error until you get what works for your baby, definitely need to give each one 2wks to see if there is any difference....

Sorry, I probably haven't answered you question exactly:p

YES, FOR US, BUT WE NEEDED TO GIVE IT 15-20 MINS BEFORE A FEED TO LINE THE TUMMY. iF WE DIDN'T IT WASN'T EFFECTIVE AT ALL. wE FOUND GRIPE WATER MORE EFFECTIVE, BUT INFACOL CAN BE USED FROM BIRTH, SO IT WAS BETTER THAN NOTHING. hth

oh poo my caps was on sorry!

Eeeep, the babysitter's due in a little over half an hour and the baby and husband are peacefully snoozing! I was hoping that Small One would be up and fed and mostly tired out by now so the babysitter didn't have too hard a time of it and could wrestle her down around 8ish. Not to mention I still need to get dressed and they're asleep in the bedroom so I can't... hmm.

Becles

Hope everyone has woken up and you have a good night SS.

Had a good afternoon. Was nervous about the match due to the Darren Bent saga, but the lads came out and played really well and we won 2-1. Dead pleased with their performance :cool:

ethelsmum - mine fight as well and it drives me mad. At the tea table tonight, they argued about doing dissections in biology, the school rowing machines and how to play badminton :mad:

Infacol worked for Amber. Boys had gripe water. Like bum cream, I've found that each child got on better with a different brand. Give it a go but stick with it for a few days.

Also *waves* to everyone. *goes back to lurking*

searching_me

to add to what tia said infacol worked wonders on zoe after trying everything else under the sun but jayden didnt need any of it ... nope sorry he had gripe water once and that was it .. suppose all kids are different ..

*joins tia in the lurking shadows* x

Infacol worked for Lily too. We have a bottle ready for this baby aswell

Thanks all - it seems to be making a slight difference already. Now he has bleeding nappy rash Poor thing, it's such hard work being a newborn, no wonder they sleep all the time!

MadDogWoman_2

Hugs Lillian, not sure which creams etc are allowed on open nappy rash, some time nappyless will help though - on a towel on his changing mat.

Congratulations he's gorgeous.
