Fuschia

Learn that most things are a phase...

buggie, nipples shields got us through from day 9 or so (had stopped bf totally) to a week or so after his tongue was clipped (3w and 2 days approx) but I found them very fiddly (not enough hands) Might be worth trying again I suppose... if it helped speed up feeds!!!

I think usually a cost of living increase would be fair, but many employees vare subject to pay freezes at present

Mine are three in April, they need the nap really but bedtime is quite late. if no nap, bed by 7.30. Impossible to stop the falling asleep though!

I don't think you'd be expected to be making lunch! I think it would be fine to have some sandwich filling stuff in the fridge and ask her to make a sandwich for both of you, actually. But that's just me!

The closest community school criteria has been dropped by Southwark now, which means you get considered for each of your choices on pure distance, you no longer have a much reduced chance for any school that's not your closest community school.

Thanks Poppy. I am planning to get him an appt asap. He is 5 weeks. Posterior tongue ties are notorious for healing back, apparently

If the HV is giving you hassle ask for a referral to a paediatrician. They can ruleout any serious problem and once they have reassured you, you will feel happier.

Gina, he bf all day as well.. I think he takes well over 25oz overall, it's just can only measure the nightime ebm. At 3w old on 100% ebm he was on about 25oz... he is satisfied overall I think, just in the day time he wakes from short naps of about 30-60 mins mostly to feed again (that's how I know his latch isn't great)

Those who have followed our tongue tie saga might be interested in an update - at 5w old we are now breastfeeding from 7am>7pm (almost literally, each feed takes an hour and it's an hour on, 30 mins off... he needs the tongue tie rechecked I think) From 7pm>7am I give us both a rest and he has bottles of ebm. It has been 2.5oz, recently 3oz. He has 7 bottles (7pm, 9,11,1,3,5,7) He usually finishes all the bottle though at 3am he sometimes takes just an oz. A few times he has ended up having 2 bottles back to back (5oz over an hour) at 1am and has slept to 4. I am clueless about bottlefeeding, and I know feeding ebm is different to feeding formula anyway (is digested in 90 mins) I don't want to overfeed him... the idea of trying to get him to take the last mouthful like a little foie gras goose upsets me for some reason. The surgeon who snipped his tongue said a baby on breastmilk needs about 2/3 of the quantity a ff baby would have... but he should be fed every 3/4h (not every 2h!) My babies bf the normal way fed every 2h for ages anyway so I'm not fussed but I wondered if those with any knowledge/experience think he should be fed less frequently at night or should have more milk in each feed. He is taking 20oz or so every night, and I think average breastmilj consumption is 25oz in 24h (range 19-30) so he is having a lot of ebm I know.. just in tiny feeds.

How about Thurs am week after next?

My son does KF (Tues but also runs Thurs) at Dulwich College and swimming on weds (also runs THurs) in Nunhead

I don't think I could make that as I would have two toddlers and one baby... mornings best for me!!

You need to have a baby under 6m, exclusively bf and still feeding at night. Then it's effectice. After that it's not a good form of contraception

What sort of thing? Swimming, kung fu...?

Ah, it was about bonjela http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8012174.stm

I seem to recall there was a warning out about the adult version... maybe some substance similar to aspirin?

There certainly usd to be a teething gel... the adult strength anbesol says not suitable for children http://www.oneclickpharmacy.co.uk/medicines-tooth,-gum-&-mouth-mouth-ulcers-anbesol-adult-strength-p-2252.html http://www.oneclickpharmacy.co.uk/medicines-infant-&-baby-teething-aids-anbesol-teething-p-2067.html

marscapone, sounds like your son would benefit from a seteroid inhaler as well as a reliever - ask for referral to asthma clinic at Kings?

I'm afraid joining up and then posting solely on one subject does tend to look suspicious.. and the site admin can see from the IP address if an account has been created by someone just to add posts in support of their business. I note the site admin has removed most of your posts, all of which were on the subject of Hamlets Sports Club and its great offers. Please pardon me if I am a little cynical.
