I wonder if anyone can advise on the constant straining that babies do? My LO is 5 1/2 weeks old and since 2 weeks when I sadly had to switch to formula we have been plagued with tummy trouble.

We have lately been giving her lactulose for constipation but even after having a movement she is straining as if she is in pain, upsets herself and only settles if I hold her and she is sucking furiously on her dummy. She did pass stools without the help of the lactulose for three whole days but for some reason she started to need help again. The straining only seems to start after her late afternoon feed and goes on until she sleeps but she seems so distressed by it.

She is eating well and sleeps a good five/six hours through the night between feeds so I can't imagine she's in that much pain but it is making us so anxious during her awake time.

Can anybody advise? ]]> Baby Club littledreams http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/877195-baby-straining.html How long after c-section before doing IVF again? http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/877190-long-after-c-section-before-doing-ivf-again.html Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:05:58 GMT Anyone have a c-section then pregnant through IVF after?

I had an emcs due to LO getting distressed. Anyway when he was born he spent around 10 minutes in the warm cot they have while they cleaned him etc but there were no real problems after he was born as far as I know. Then he was wrapped up and lay in the cot for a few more minutes. Eventually they offered him to OH to hold and he held him until we were in recovery. I didn't really ask to hold him and it was all a bit of a blur. But thinking back now, most c sections I've seen the baby is still put on mum's chest and mum is the first one to have a hold. I wish I hadn't thought about it because it makes me feel a bit upset that it was quite a while before I held him and it was OH he saw first not me :(

Well the time has come - I have to go back to work on 1st March :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

I went to look at a lovely nursery today - the baby room is from 8 weeks - 2 years.

There are always 2 members of staff and up to 6 babies at a time.

Its £4.75 an hour...

Does all this sound normal? (I know it depends on area!!)

Also my LO will only need to go into nursery 1 day a week on a friday - will he settle for one day only or is it worth putting him in 2 days so it all becomes a bit more familiar to him :wacko:

Im so worried! Not about the nursery - there were plenty of adults - a lovely room and space to play outside etc but just about leaving my LO..

Do your Los enjoy nursery - I hate to leave him - 6 months is so young but it has to be done to keep a roof over our heads..
Also can anyone tell me what help they get towards fees with tax credits. We are on a joint income of about £32000 and ive worked out we get about £18 a week - is that right? If anyone is on a similar wage - can you let me know roughly how much you get - so I can do the maths (and hope we can afford it)

Any advice??? ]]> Baby Club mummyruston http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/877004-expressed-milk-diarrhoea.html Help! Overwhelmed with weaning and routine. http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/876991-help-overwhelmed-weaning-routine.html Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:58:19 GMT I'm really feeling a bit overwhelmed and frustrated at the moment with LO's weaning and fitting everything into the day.

Before weaning, we had a really good routine where LO was having 5 bottles a day every 3 hours and all his naps fitted easily around his feeds etc. Day was as follows:

7:30-8am - get up and first bottle
9-9:30am - nap
10:30am - bottle
11:30am - 12pm - nap
1:30pm - bottle
2:30 - 3pm - nap
4:30pm - bottle
6:30pm - bath and ready for bed
7-7:30pm - bottle and then bed.

However he's been weaning for 2 months now and at first it was ok. I started him off with lunch of veg/fruit puree at his 1:30pm feed and then after a few weeks added in breakfast of porridge/baby cereal with his first bottle. However now he's having larger amounts of food and he's also sleeping a little later some days due to disruptive nights. This means he's all out of sync with his bottles as he doesn't always want them straight after food. I find that I'm only fitting in four bottles a day and he rarely drinks much of his last bottle before bedtime, so realistically he's only having 3.5 bottles and taking less than he used to. I just worry if he's getting enough milk or food and the right balance.

I also want to introduce dinner after talking to some other mums today whose younger babies are already eating 3 meals and with more variety but wondering how the hell I am supposed to fit everything in!! Also I am struggling to introduce new foods as I just don't seem to have the time to make up meals etc and have been feeding him.

I went back to work when my daughter was 4 months old. Her father is a full-time student so I am the provider. I make my own work schedule so I am at home while her dad has class but I take her to daycare so I am not stuck at the office crazy late. So she is in daycare approximately 2-3 hours a day Monday - Friday. She loves daycare, and she is 8 months old now.

She has always been fine with me I come home from work or before I leave for work we spend all our time together and play and I take her on walks and to the park. Over christmas I went to my mothers for a week so I was around everyday all day. Ever since we returned from that week she suddenly won't let me put her to bed. I put her in her crib and no matter how much time it is she plays and rolls around and is energetic in her crib, I have tried laying with her but that only works at night, I have tried her playpen because my cat sleeps beside her playpen so it could give her the idea they are sleeping together, it calmed her but she wouldn't sleep.

Her dad and our daycare worker, I swear all they do is lay her down, give her her bottle and walk away. For me I don't even have the option for her to cry it out because she doesn't cry she is just energetic, even as she yawns and rubs her eyes she is crawling in her crib, shes is playing with her blanket, she is rolling around babbling and laughing.

What do I do?! Right now only her dad puts her to bed but he isn't home 24-7 plus I have to be able to do it at some point. Has this happened to anyone else? Any pointers or tips? I'm desperate I will try anything once. ]]> Baby Club Stacey89 http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/876969-baby-sleeps-everyone-but-me.html Show your Father like son/daugther pics! http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/876962-show-your-father-like-son-daugther-pics.html Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:33:28 GMT pics where they are wearing something similar, doing something similar or looking similar - if you have none of these it would still be nice to see... pics where they are wearing something similar, doing something similar or looking similar - if you have none of these it would still be nice to see your pics! :)

There are some things in particular though that I just adore about my baby girl...

She has SO SO many cute faces. But my favorite lately is when she lifts her right eye brow up (while she's smiling or eating or just cause she can- lol)- she randomly does this. Never her left, just her right (unless she raises them both at the same time)- and it's funny cause I can lift my right eyebrow up well, but not my left... so I think she get's that from me ;)

Attached is a recent pic I took- after we got her 4mos height measurement. And she actually looks shocked at how much she'd grown ;) lol.

She is just one of the most expressive babies I've been around... and it melts my heart every day!!!!

Thers is much much more I adore about her... how she's STTN since 2mos (I swear she knows how much I value my sleep! lol), how sweet she is, how happy she is... etc... etc... personally, I think my little girl is PERFECTION in every way! But who doesn't? LOL ;)

Please help.. :'(]]> http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/876839-lo-refusing-food-waking-up-constantly-please-help.html Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:13:35 GMT A month or so ago LO went from sleeping through the night (approx 11 hours) to waking once, then waking twice, and now it's every hour or so! Sometimes she's awake after ten minutes and just wants rocking to sleep, sometimes she wants feeding (bottle or breast, but sometimes she gets so frustrated with the breast she has a bottle anyway.. Sometimes she's so hungry she has both) and sometimes she's just so hysterical that nothing helps!

Sometimes breast, bottle, teething gel, calpol, cuddles, rocking, sshing, EVERYTHING doesn't work, and she may go down for 10 minutes then be up again! She does everything she can to stop herself from falling asleep too, from kicking her legs just as she's dropping off to moaning when her eyes are shut, to even knocking her own dummy out!!

She STILL has to be rocked to sleep. My back hurts so much now I don't know if I can do it anymore. I could deal with it when it was just for bedtime and naps, but not this amount.

And to top it all off, she's refusing food now. She had finger foods in the evening, and refused those first. She'd either ignore them, or just throw them on the floor and cry, so I started spoon-feeding her again out of desperation after receiving no replies on a thread I posted asking for help. Now she's refusing that! She's just clamping her mouth shut, even with things she likes! She did have her porridge this morning, but even that was reluctantly.

Please help. Suggest anything. I'm exhausted and at the end of my tether.

ETA: I should probably add that she's had a cold, but doesn't have a fever or anything, and I clear her nose with the aspirator and have had a vapouriser in her room for a couple of nights (but have removed it as it made my eyes sting - only a small room - so I dread to think what it was doing to her eyes). ]]> Baby Club vixiepoo http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/876839-lo-refusing-food-waking-up-constantly-please-help.html feeding advice http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/876820-feeding-advice.html Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:58:27 GMT Hi girlies, I know there are separate forums for this but the thread in there don't seem to get many replies so would appreciate any advice anyone can give on:

Do you believe in the calming lotions and soaps?

The night time calming lotions made me decide to use a soap for nite nite time(Dove) and a soap for mornings (Johnson & Johnson)

Since my lo dislikes the bath tub with a passion I wash her every night on a water proof mat... or she'll take a bath with me every now and again when I'm trying to stay on schedule.

Bath Time is around 7 or 7:30
we normally settle down in the bed around 8:30
we normally do either a story, song or classical music
overhead light is turned off and the mini lamp stays on to dimly light the room
then we Nurse in quiet
and she goes down.

She Has never STTN and if she did I probably would wake her up because I'd think something's wrong :haha:

Also, lo fusses/cries sometimes when she is eating (food), and I can't figure it out! She still opens her mouth for more but she gets upset sometimes.

And do you feed lo as much as she will eat? She seems to eat an awful lot of the mid-morning cereal but I always fed her as much as she wanted with the bottle. Any thoughts?

Now I can accept they don't see many children with SB where we live, and they have admitted they've not had a child with Freya's type for years, so I can let that one go.

Then he says "How's weaning going?". So I explain she won't be spoon fed so we're BLW. He responds "Yes that's fine, but don't give her too many jars." Er, we're BLW, she eats what we eat!! Then he says "Is she on follow on milk?" No, because HV says it's not needed. So he goes on about how it helps ther immune system and can prevent allergies. Took me 5 minutes on google to disprove that one!

Hiya

My LO is almost 4 months and at the start she slept quite a bit due to jaundice then for the first few didnt sleep much settled due to reflux and cmpi. Anyway she does sleep often now. She lasts approx 1 hour & 15 mins to 2 hours max before she starts making her grumpy sounds and I put her down in her pram to sleep. She then sleeps for approx 30 mins up to 3 hours. Is she sleeping too much? We co sleep at night as she doesnt settle on her own but this works well for us and she usually sleeps from when we go to bed at approx between 10-12 til about 7.30am.

I was just wondering if she is sleeping too much or if she should be able to stay awake longer?

I'm trying to figure out how much i'll save per month on my childcare if I sign up for these.

OK, so my LO's nursery is going to cost £558 per month (give or take a few pounds).

SO ....... does this mean that £900 per year / 12 months = saving of £75 per month and my childcare will now cost £483 per month?

I was expecting to wait till 6 months(ish) but she said they encourage early weaning so that by 6 months they are already used to textures and tastes. She said if I wait till 6 months before I start then it will be a rush to introduce her to things and she may have problems with textures etc.
She said 17 weeks is the earliest to start but in the next couple of weeks I should try her with baby rice, one spoon a day for a week and then increase etc etc.
I'm just a bit confused as to what to do now? Lo has 4x8oz bottles in the day and goes 12 hours at night. She is very happy and content.
Should I start rice in a couple of weeks as per her advice or wait closer to the 6 months as I had planned? (well six months or when lo shows me signs she's ready, whichever comes first)
I also read babies should be able to sit unaided before weaning?
I am so confused now?
Can anybody with older babies give me any advice??

My 7 month old has started rolling over in his cot and then moaning because he doesn't want to be on his tummy. During the day he can manage to get from tummy to back just fine but in his cot he doesn't seem able to. I am wondering if his sleeping bag is preventing him from doing so? Has anyone else had this problem?

I am thinking about relegating the sleeping bags to the loft (in case this is restricting him from rolling back over) but what on earth do you dress them in to keep them warm and what bedding is safe for them to use at this age? I am sure this is a very stupid question but I would apprecate any advice or any ideas as to how to overcome this rolling over/waking up situation.

I have has depression really bad, and been on medication, but that was before kids, since I have been fine mostly, I occasionally get times when i can feel it coming and I somehow mange to get rid of it.

Now though I have 11 week old twins and a 25 month old toddler, this week almost every evening I have been in tears.

My son is going through a naughty phase, he has started hitting (might just be copying us winding the babies), he wakes the twins up, throwing toys, he scratched the face of one of the twins (accidental), he is just a crazy little boy and hard to get him to listen, he seems to be rebelling constantly.

The twins all week have been really unsettled, i think they want to be awake more but have no idea what to do, and unless i am cuddling both of them they cry constantly. I cant cuddle them constantly, i cant hold both the way they both want held at the same time and i have my son to think of.

I am busy, the house is tidy, washing always done, food on table etc etc.

Yesterday I broke my tooth and have the dentist and so stressed about it, just the logistics of going with my brood leave me in a sweat, without thinking of parking etc. My lower jaw doesn't numb ever so I know I am not in for a pleasant time.

I also had an implant put in last week for contraception and thinking that may be not helping, i had one last time i was depressed.

I just feel like I want to crawl into a ball and die. I have been shouting at my husband constantly and i hate myself for it, but i feel jealous that he gets a break where as i have never spend any time away from them.

I am hoping I will feel better when I have been to the dentist and its behind me but i suspect she will arrange for me to come back and have more done! Which is a mega stress and going out with them all is a nightmare and I dont have anyone to rely on to help, no one will help. My mum will come over and play with my eldest but thats it really.

So is it PND or just a phase? ]]> Baby Club Eternal http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/876594-pnd-just-phase.html Question to those delaying injections (eg MMR) http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/876592-question-those-delaying-injections-eg-mmr.html Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:08:57 GMT My lo had his 12m injections recently apart from MMR, which I'm delaying for a bit, but I just had another letter sent to me which I'll have to cancel.

When do I give her the teething gel? Do I just put it on her gums when I assume she's teething? When do I stop using it?

So like I say she's so worried about this that she can't relax and enjoy her scan today.

So I just wondered if anyone on here had the same thing happen and can explain what it could be? As her doctors won't tell her anything.

I really want to reassure her but have no experience of it. I'm thinking if it was serious the docs wouldn't be taking so long about it but they seem pretty incompetent to me!

She is also on BnB but is too scared to ask for herself in first tri so I'm asking for her lol

I'm expecting my first child and have been reading reviews on crib mattresses online trying to figure out what brand/type to get and how much I should spend. I'm planning on getting a convertible crib so I would like the mattress to last for a while (from infancy through the toddler years at least). I know that everyone has various opinions, but after doing all this research I feel more confused. Can you please tell me which mattress you have and if you've experienced problems with it sagging after being used a bit?

Does anyone have any experience of this in a newborn?

I noticed a small pea sized lump on my babies neck, GP sent us to hospital and they advised that it is subcutaneous fat necrosis. They believe it has been caused by the forceps delivery 1 week ago. They then took bloods and he has high calcium. They want to see him again on friday to repeat bloods.

The registrar also mentioned cold stress, after delivery he was monitored as he was cold and placed under a lamp. The doc said to keep room temp at 21. over night it has been about 18 in our room. I swaddle him in a gro-swaddle and the put a cellular blanket folded twice over him. He seems plenty warm enough. I am now worried if he is warm enough over night. He always feels warm to touch on his chest.

Anyway if anyone can shed any light or offer reassurance I would appreciate it.

Thanks for reading.

Not big ones, not nasty ones, just tiny bruises on her shins, what is she banging them on? :dohh: ]]> Baby Club pupsicle http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/876184-bruises-shins.html What are your 9-10mnth LO up too? http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/876181-your-9-10mnth-lo-up-too.html Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:35:35 GMT I'm just being nosey really to see if my DS is doing what he should kind of be doing. I know every baby is different but it's still reassuring :)
My LO still isn't properly crawling more commando with his arms but his legs are up underneath him. He's got 6 teeth and another 2 are coming through. Still on 3 bottles a day but doesn't take much of the bottle after his big lunchtime sleep. He likes to pull down the bumpers on his cot before he goes to sleep at lunchtime which is funny to listen to as he gets so excited. He tries to pull himself up but struggles with the combination of laminate flooring añd leather sofas as he can't grab onto anything. He says dada and mumma and nana. He is just so funny he constantly makes me laugh
What are your bubbas up too? ]]> Baby Club Roffey82 http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/876181-your-9-10mnth-lo-up-too.html Those of you who have been through more than one labour... http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/876180-those-you-have-been-through-more-than-one-labour.html Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:35:28 GMT ... were they different? I've been told by the midwives that every pregnancy and labour is different - but following my first I will be high risk so no hope of ever having a water birth. As much as I want a second baby, I do feel in the back of my mind, that I will be worrying the whole time about what will happen.

Has anyone had a bad experience and then a good one? I suffered from anemia, pre eclampsia, was in hospital before two inductions and then a second degree tear, a retained placenta and two litre blood loss. Anyone had something like this and then had an easier birth second time around? ]]> Baby Club MumMumMum http://www.babyandbump.com/baby-club/876180-those-you-have-been-through-more-than-one-labour.html
