@LouTTC83 I was fine, didn't feel anything until lunchtime Today and my arm is now a bit achy and heavy feeling. Am so glad you have had it and Rory has been fine, I barely slept last night for worrying and I didn't know anyone else who has had it that's BF so that's a relief. I would love some baby classes to go to but nothing is running here yet so will have to be patient. I have no idea when swimming pools are opening either sigh!
Layth is not rolling over or anything he's just throwing himself forward to try and sit up for about a week or so now bless him. Have you had HV check or weight done recently? I just had a phone consultation from paediatric clinic and he's quite annoyed Layths not been weighed considering all his issues xx
I think classes and swimming pools are opening here from the 12th April but swimming lessons are from the 17th May.
It's very cute that Layth is trying. Rory has been a bit more difficult today, think he is getting to the stage he wants to be involved in something but can't do much yet 🙈
It has all been a bit rubbish for a while here with getting weighed and appointments. It was fairly good for first 8 weeks. I didn't get his 12 week injections done until he was 14 weeks cos of an error at the doctors then I asked.ifni could have him weighed and the nurse wasn't happy but she did it (he weighed 12lb 3oz) he had done a poo so I put a fresh nappy on him, the nurse looked horrified and asked me to take the dirty nappy home because of Covid 🤷 my health visitor called last week to book a virtual appointment, not had it yet so not sure what happens but he won't get weighed obviously.
Rory has had cradle cap which has pretty much cleared up but he has such dry skin on his body but doctors just say send a pic but you need to feel it to see what it's like. Such a nightmare xx
Best wishes to all December babies and mamas! All good here with my little one. The first vaccinations were truly heartbreaking, I'll ask my husband to stay with her for the next ones coming up, it was terrible to see my baby in pain and so upset. She only cried this way when she was born, she is otherwise a rather calm baby. Hope your vaccinations went ok
@winter2020@MissM2203 Thanks for asking after me, Dylan is OK, still not getting great nights with him and he's still struggling with his poos and trapped wind. We have a paediatrics appointment in April though. OH goes back to work in two weeks and I'm dreading it but I'll manage! Were getting good day time nap patterns which is nice, good awake and play time and he's coming on so well, so strong! I just hate seeing him so uncomfortable.
@winter2020 Happy Easter. We are currently in night two of getting my daughter into her big girl bed. What a fuss she is making about it! Hope you are all well? Three of my friends have had babies this week and it's made me super broody. Haha xx
@LouTTC83 we're doing okay here! Made the joint decision with our gp to start weaning fíonn a bit early. The difference is amazing! He's gone from a cranky hungry baby with explosive green nappies who'd wake up two.or three times a night, to a happy baby with normal yellow nappies and is sleeping through the night 🎉 he seems so much happier now so I really think it was the right move.
I was sent to hospital with my wrists and given x-rays. They couldn't find anything wrong so I'm being sent for ENTs. I'm back at the doctors on Tuesday as I've now developed pockets of fluid and swelling from my knees down. I got the implanaon bar put in in January, missed a period in February and bled for all of march so might need that taken out 😞
I have the Easter Bunny visiting tomorrow to give the kids their eggs. My lovely Mum organised it for them.
What age is Fionn now? The paediatric specialist has said to me that perhaps I should start Layth on solids, he has still lots of mucous in his nappy and a few new allergies (strawberries for one after I drank a smoothie) He is getting weighed on 14th then I have to discuss starting to feed him then I wasn't keen but now reading what you have said it may be beneficial.
Aw I know the feeling @LouTTC83 I really don't feel "done" yet.
Is your little girl not keen on her new bed then? Is she sleeping all night once she falls asleep tho?
How are all you other lovely ladies getting on? We are all so busy this thread has gone super quiet xx
@MissM2203 he's just about to turn four months. We haven't given him much, just giving him a spoonful or two of baby porridge or smooth smudged fruit. Gonna try him with a Heinz version of a turkey dinner and veg for a 4 month old for his dinner tomorrow. We really have noticed a difference and he still takes his bottles too!
Hope everyone is ok @RememberToBreathe hope the docs sorted the rash out. @MissM2203 I think layth and Arthur are similar in age Arthur was born 30th November and no signs at all of rolling! Just about got him to accept tummy time for over a few minutes! I’ve totally forgotten the milestones lol he’s very alert and good at grabbing for toys and looking at them but not long mastered good head control (very large head 99th centile 🤪) @winter2020 I’m so impressed Fionn is sleeping through and I’m pleased he’s happier it’s so much easier when they’re happy!
Arthur had been on Aptamil pepti 1 for cows milk allergy but in the end took him off it as he got so much pain with drinking it he would cry real tears. Docs said try him on cows milk allergy for 6 weeks then try back on normal hipp milk so we have done and hopefully eczema will stay away and he will be ok with cows milk formula again. How’s everyone doing with night feeds ? Arthur goes 5 hours usually 7.30 till 12.30 but after that it’s very 4 hours I’m hanging lol but I’m assuming it’s normal at this age?
Yes he’s my 4th but I’m out of the loop 🤪 heavy baby at 9lb 10oz so I’m wondering if hes just a hungry boy.
@Mitzy8 fíonns starting to sleep from about half eight until two, wakes to be resettled and then it varies but he's cut out night time bottle 🎉 it's usually just waking up for resettling. He had his four month injections yesterday and they went surprisingly well, he didn't even gain a temperature. He got weighed and he's over a stone in weight 🤯 couldn't believe it when we got told his weight
@Mitzy8 Aww he's growing so much, gorgeous little boy.
There is only 6 days between our babies. Tummy time is not his favourite thing to do no matter how much I have tried.
Layth has CMPA and possible SOY allergy. I have been dairy free since he was 6 weeks old. He also had a reaction when I had a berry smoothie so seems to have a few allergies and will be skin tested with individual foods at 1yr old. He is a terrible sleeper, still feeds every 1.5 to 2hrs overnight. I sometimes get him to sleep away from me on his back but other times he just refuses and am sat upright with him on my chest.
He is thriving tho and was weighed on Weds at a whopping 18lb 1oz so even tho am withering away some days I know he's getting what he needs for just now.
It's all just trial and error and babies are just all different aren't they?
@MissM2203, Layth is adorable. I have no idea what Rory weighs, he hasn't been weighed since he was 14 weeks. He is chubby though 💞
@Mitzy8, your little one is adorable! Rory doesn't sleep great. I usually get him down at 8.15pm after an hour and a half of breastfeeding. Sometimes he will sleep until about two and be up a couple of times after that staying up from 6. His big sister has started getting up at about 7 an too so I have accepted my days start early.
We started baby groups again last week, more for my two year old but it's good to get out although there is nearly always a meltdown 🙄 this week I do have a baby class with just Rory while she is at nursery 💞
Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been on much, life has been pretty hectic. Dylan has been diagnosed with CMPA too this past week and I'm now nearly 6 weeks dairy free and one week soya free. We're waiting to see a dietician to help with weaning when the time comes and I'm hoping he continues to improve. @Mitzy8 with CMPA with formula fed babies my sister had to get a prescribed milk called neocate as the aptimil and other sensitive milks still contained enough CMP to cause a build up reaction. They will eventually grow out of it but it can take up to a year/two years and regular challenging using milk ladders etc. All my sisters 4 babies had CMPA and soya allergies but did eventually outgrow them.
Dylan is weighing in at over 15lbs now and is doing so much better with his tummy and sleeping. He even goes for 4/5 hours between feeds at night and we have got him to settle in his next to me cot too which is the biggest achievement, no more sleeping upright on us!
Thanks for asking after Ralph @winter2020@Mitzy8@MissM2203@Emmy012 - the GP asked for photos and then did a video call and wasn’t overly concerned. He thought it was probably an allergy rash and the HV agreed when I saw her a couple of days later. He’s 16lb at 18 weeks so clearly his constant throwing up isn’t impacting his weight gain but she agrees that I should continue dairy free to see if we can improve his awful wind and terrible poos! I’m not sure why he’d suddenly have a dairy related allergy rash if I’m being honest as I’ve not had dairy for over three weeks (bar an accidental slip up last week) but perhaps it was just a build up or a random thing anyway!
@LouTTC83 enjoy your class with just Rory! We did a sensory class on Friday and Ralph loved watching the other babies

Loving seeing all these big chunky happy babies ❤️
