Ahh me too. When you posted you had been to a&e but you would update us later I was ever so worried!!

Going to sound a little bit of a loser now....but...I think of you all as my friends !!!

Her meds will kick in soon, it took Aiden about 24hrs on them before we noticed him perking up. I am sure she will be back on her food in no time, and who cares if she needs a bit of milk tonight - in the grand scheme of things it doesnt matter at all does it

My little one has started sort of humming himself to sleep, 35minutes tonight of "mmmmmmnnnnnn nmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmm" it gets very annoying after a while, he has his eyes shut and everything while he is doing it!

We *are* friends on here And you're absolutely right about the milk - normally I would resist, but this time round she might actually need it.

She's been humming herself to sleep for months, although only for 5-10mins. I think it's great - when I've spent ages trying to get her to sleep and the humming finally starts I know the end is in sight

*Nutella*

Forgot to mention one positive thing that happened at the hospital yesterday: they weighed her to work out her medication. Which means I can stop feeling guilty about not having taken her to baby clinic since January

Morning ladies. How was your night Nutella? I got a lie in til 6.40!!! :T. So would be feeling refreshed but it feels like someone has jammed a red hot poker right into my eye

How much does your LO weigh now Nutella? I'm taking
G to the clinic this morning as not been for months and still not had the letter about his year check - I was told I'd get the letter at least a week or two before his birthday.

This is my point. Why should we all be alone?

Our first 10 days we were in hospital so until day 10 he didn't really feel like he was mine.
I left Dewi with my dad to get my MOT sorted at the end of Jan. That was only for half hour though. OH has taken him shopping 3 times (2 food shops and a trip for him to get shoes) and he's gone to his mother's with him twice, all occasions being 2 hours (last trip to his mother's being 3.5 hours). We did once leave him for an hour with MIL to go food shopping.

I don't see that as being unreasonable considering he's 4 months old.

I was questioned about when Dewi can go to stay with MIL. I don't see this as being any sort of benefit to us and will only serve to give in to MIL's wish to have him.

Ano I caused some upset before with they way I worded things on a similar subject. I hope I'm not coming off as being overbearing or protective... I know he'll come to no harm and don't actually have a problem with leaving him as such. It's just the way it seems to be being forced upon me. Like I should be shipping him off for nights out, like I must desperately need a break. It seems like noone understands how much I enjoy being with him... should I be feeling like he's a burden?

My mother joked that I won't be letting him go until he's in school. This from the woman who shipped me off for weekends (admittedly she had to care for me and my brother while my dad had chemotherapy). Just because it's what she did, doesn't mean I should feel comfortable with it. In fact it has added to my desire to spend time with Dewi. I have more memories of other family members than I do of spending time with her. Tbh... I never remember doing anything with her before the age of 13 and my memories after that only exist because she made an effort to spend time and speak to me as she had left my father.

Sorry that's a massive rant but it's all swimming in my head and it felt like it needed to come out. I felt rather sick typing most of that. I don't deal very well with stress. I'm going to get some sleep before I start thinking about it any more.

Thank you for listening and sorry to bring the vibe down

I never left my eldest just because someone else fancied having him, it seems really odd to me that you're expected to just hand him over! Different if you want/need them to do it of course. The little one I can count every time...one trial run, 3 evenings for me to go out, only because my other half bought the tickets as a present, once to get my eldest's boosters, and twice for the dentist as I didn't want him scared by the drilling. He's nearly 16 months. I'd leave him with my mum anyday if needed, but I'm uncomfortable leaving him with the in laws, I don't think they think enough about things. And at the end of the day, he's mine, all mine!

Nutella, hope everything's going well now after your scare! Good job you went in

Damn hot weather, I've ended up with heat rash and it's really annoying! Think I burnt a little too, but at least neither of the boys did.

Yay for lie in! Hope your eye gets better soon.

Our night was much better than expected thanks. She slept all night, didn't ask for milk and only asked for the dummy at 4am! Woke up for the day at 5.40. I didn't sleep very well though as I've got a cold and kept coughing, but at least she had a good night I went to check on her a couple of times, but no temperature :T

They weighed her wearing a nappy and a dress (she was too miserable for them to want to cause her further trauma involving undressing) and just after she'd had a bottle of milk, and she was 11.6kg :eek: So I guess that's something like 11.2 or 11.3kg in baby clinic terms.

Lovely and sunny here this morning Hope everyone has a good day x

Hello ladies,

Did anyone's baby go through a stage of choking on their spit? He's only 7 weeks so don't think it's teeth and when I google it reflux comes up, however he doesn't have any of the other symptoms, he doesn't do it all the time but often does it at night and wakes me up making a little choking noise?

Mrsharworth, mine had a week or so when she kept coughing due to choking on her dribble, but just a few days around that age. I guess until she got used to it / better at swallowing. But it was occasionally, not all night, maybe twice or three times.
