How are all you new mummies doing?

[Jojo84]

I started to mash the carrot with milk to make it more creamy for him and not as strong.

Don't get too disheartened Jen I struggle with Macie some days she wolfs it other days she won't eat it bad in struggling with savoury stuff she has her mothers sweet tooth! Lol I just keep trying her with stuff like Toria said it might be a bit strong her tummy just needs to get used to it bless her xxxxx

 

[iWitch]

Definitely not a dental nurse lol! Students are told to explain everything lol! But yeah, I personally think root canal is awful & I would rather have a tooth pulled

Well after been up all night with Stanley again we went to baby social then on to my mams afterwards, I was making a cuppa and as I was taking the tea bag out I spilt the whole cup of boiling water all over my arm stomach leg and ankle had to jump in my mams shower with the cold on, I was in agony ended up going to the hospital they have put these gel things on my stomach for a few days as that's where it was burnt the most looked like it had blistered a little my arm leg and ankle aren't as bad just red and sore.. So I'm feeling sorry for myself tonight I'm assuming Stanley will be up most of the night again.. Urgh!

 

[Mummybexee]

Ouch hope your ok stace!!!

Jen- are you watering it down so it's maybe not as thick? Def maybe add abit of milk or baby rice - Oscar took well to weaning because he is on mega thick milk

Once she gets familiar with it - there will be no stopping her lol xx

 

[Kaedin]

Oh dear Stacey!! Hope youre ok! and Hope Stanley sleeps to give you time to rest x

Jen - thats kinda like hayley - but she was also gagging away this morning just chewing on a weaning spoon (it was barely in her mouth), yet ive given her spoons to hold & chew for weeks so not like it's never been in her mouth like that before

I've got a slightly chipped front tooth because of my ex but no idea if anything can be done to fix it. I'd imagine i won't be covered for free as it's cosmetic as i have no pain ect. I don't mind the dentist as i dont care about jags but the noise of the drill gives me the willies!! That and the sound of ice scraping when you open a drawer in the freezer ewww!

 

[Jojo84]

How did you get a chipped tooth?

I did that a few years ago... But I ended up in hospital with special burns doctors who had to burst the blister - it went black and I panicked but it perked up and I still have a scar but it's fine now. It always looks worse than it is at first. Hope the pain isn't too bad

Congrats again how are you getting on? x x

 

[T84]

Thanks ladies I'll try all that, I had watered it down but maybe not enough.

Kaedin you might find some dentists will do it for free on your exemption as it's your front tooth so slightly different. If not it wouldn't cost much at all to fix.

Oh no Stacey!! Hope your ok x x

 

[hayes]

Oh no Stacey u poor thing that's sounds painful hope u managed to get s sleep.

Congratulations amylousie.

Michelle.x

 

[Kaedin]

I got punched in the face. It's not a full chip, it's like the front corner of my enamel came off but thgeback half is sill there so it just looks like the enamel has worn away iykwim.
I've got a dentist appointment to register with my new childsmile dentist on the 30 th so I'll ask if they'd be able to fix it and if it will cost

Congrats amylouise x

 

[StaceyRainbow]

I feel a lot better today didn't get much sleep though Stanley was up all night and now he's got a cold!
I noticed one of the kids at baby social yesterday had a snotty nose maybe he caught it there.
I wana get in the bath but can't get this dressing wet.. It's guna have to be a shallow one.
We have Chris son from after school til Monday morning and got a kids party tomorrow so we'll be busy over the weekend.

Kaedin that's brutal what your ex did hope they can fix your tooth..

Hiya amylouise and congratulations! Join in the chat we talk about pretty much anything and everything!

Jen I agree with the others, I found that Stanley preferred broccoli the most at first.. I found sweet potato and butternut squash quite a thick texture so I watered it down after I cooked it, then when I microwaved it to eat I added more water cos was still thick.

 

[Pumpkin9]

Hi amylouise. Congratulations! Join in with whatever's on your mind. No such thing as silly posts here

Grandma taken Oscar to be weighed for me

HV has advised he drops an Oz in his bottles and drops a bottle a day and rather than finger food snacks for tea he has 3 full blown meals a day? He's 17lbs so has only put on half a lb in 3 weeks!

Got to give him full fat everything! Lots of cheese, whole milk in cooking, yoghurts etc

Should be fun!

I didn't realise he had punched you! What a dick! Had he done that before?

My ex boyfriend used to punch me and so one day I flushed his head down the toilet. ( glad I got out of that relationship - I was 17 and totally naive.

Congrats on your baby Amy!

Luke decided to wake up last night A few times
- like 3-4!btimes for no reason but I wonder if he was a bit cold. I dressed him in a sleep suit and a 1 tog bag because it was 24 then it dropped to 21 overnight

I'm a Also annoyed because I was supposed to be taking a delivery between 8-6 and had agreed to go out tonight and the courier estimate is between 4:45 and. 7:45 and I was due to go out a 70 and I'm so annoyed about it.

 

[Pumpkin9]

I hate waiting for deliveries it's always Sod's law that it's last thing!

We had a better nights sleep although he did wake a few times last night but it was early on just after his bedtime. He seems to be struggling to fall into a deeper sleep.

I haven't had Thomas weighed for a few weeks. He was 16lb 11 about 3 weeks ago. No idea now. The weight gain does tend to drop off though. When I was obsessing about Thomas' weight I wrote all expected weight gains down and it went from about 1lb/10oz a fortnight down to about 5oz a fortnight by 6 months

 

[amylouise1989]

Thanks for the welcome,
Feeling a bit like a zombie today, no idea why, I'm used to doing 16 hour plus days due to the work I was previously in - gone from doing that to nothing to doing 16 hr days with the baby again!
Struggled to get up to feed her this morning, feel asleep and she went 5 n half hrs without a feed!! How guilty did I feel this morning?!? She seemed really content though when I woke her and gave her a bottle.
She's also struggling to poop, so I'm on constant nappy watch and smell as she hasn't gone in 24hrs!
Hope everyone's okay xx

 

[Jojo84]

24hrs isn't a long time for a poop for a baby if hat age. Even now luke can go 24hrs but at that age he went every 2 days. I wouldn't worry about it.

Do you have a partner that could help you with feeds? Don't feel bad, it can be hard to adjust.
