January 2010 mommies

Oh Ari, sorry about poor Seth, that must be awfull, how frustrating and there isn't much that you can do to help him either. Siestog
Hope the paed sorts him out!

Christelle, Tristan eats a full jar of No 2 purity (on last night's menu was carrots, honey and semolina) and he gets antsy if I dont feed him quick enough, hey!
He has also been waking up at 5 in the morning, so I have to get up then, and then he falls asleep in the car on the way to granny, and he plays the "how-many-times-can-I-make-mommy-pick-up-the-same-toy-before-she-freaks-out-game"... wonder if he and Zani have been comparing notes?

Bought him a bath ring a while ago and he screamed blue murder when I tried to use it, so last night I tried it again and hey, he liked it. Only problem is he keeps on leaning forward to bit it, so it is nearly impossible to wash his hair. Still washing his face with aqueous cream, try doing that while he is doubled over and trying to bite the ring and every toy he can get his hands on.

Jems - Cayleigh was also niggly last night and all that seemed 2do the trick was boob!

Shame Aribeth hope u come right with Seth.

I'm really struggling with Cayleigh's tummy, well always hav. Her tummy doesn't work everyday,it doesn't seem 2bother her but it surely can't b good. I've started giving her prunes once a day 2c if that will help. I just hope there's nothing wrong with her. Mayb i should take her 2the Dr 4peace of mind.

I wouldn't mind having my next baby this time of year when its not winter winter but still cold enough 2snuggle.

Seth is literally scratching sores on himself. His back shoulders look like he's been clawed by an animal. It looks terrible. His skin over his whole body feels like sandpaper. Not exagerating. He is now getting it around his little winky and he keeps putting his hands in his pants to scratch. He wakes up crying from the itching. And last night i noticed last night its seems to be popping up on his face. His cheeks are so dry. My sister has severe eczema from allergies. So chances are seth is the same. The advantan helps a bit but i don't want to keep putting cortesone on him. My pead is a specialist pead and she used to work at the pediatric allergy clinic. So i'm not gonna change and go to a dermatologist cause i can't pay the upfront.

Good news that Zani eating again Christelle.

Eczema is awful Aribeth. My brother has it and I have it on my hands.

Why not go to dermotologist ans see what they say?

Hi ladies. Slept like krap last night. Past few nights i battle to fall asleep. Called the pead yesterday about seth's skin. The childs eczema is getting out of hand. The creams are not working so i'm talking him for the allergy tests. They doing the skin ones not blood. Don't think a 3 year old would take well to having blood drawn. So ya just hope they can find the cause and hope its not dairy. Seth eats at least 3 yoghurts a day. Lolli shame about the dummy. I buy a cheap funny at checkers for a spare. They R12 and same shape as nuk.

Good morning!

Jems – Thanks for the link. Feeling much better about the yogurt etc. Now only worried about the teething biscuits. Sure they contain some type of sugar. Will have a look on the box tonight. Shame, she loves her teething biscuit (gets one every day)!

Zani also had a couple of bad nights in a row this week. Don’t know what the problem is. And every morning she is awake by 5h30! And then falls asleep in the car on the way to my mom and then sleeps till 9h00! Little shit!!! (Said of course with love and affection)

Zani ate a whole jar of butternut and baby marrow last night. Little piggy!! Just so glad that my little girl is eating again.

Bought her some of those sticky things that you put on the side of the bath (?) and she loves it. Had these very intense conversations with the octopus every night in the bath. Very funny!

Oh, and she has a new game now. Lets throw things on the floor and then mommy must pick it up. She thinks it is very funny. Laughs out loud every time the toy hits the floor and I bend to pick it up. Mommy does not think it is so funny after the tenth time though!

Oh my word how funny is this:
