what age is she now??
god ben is dribbling so much with his gums and his little hands are raw from him chewing them.. i get the dodi in as quickly as i can or let him chew my finger but sometimes he chews his fingers and the dodi.. :eek: nutter
the relief i feel is amazing.. fingers crossed now it won't be a short term thing
And thanks to everyone for the advice... even though i had 2 already it just goes to show i still know feck all!!! flying by the seat of my pants 0 -
She's only 10 weeks! the mad thing is its the large teeth either side of her front two teeth (hope that makes sense!) but when I checked online dentistry sites they said those larger teeth don't generally come through til the baby is over one year old.
I'm guessing that's just a guide though
Ah poor Ben, thats gas trying to chew hand and soother in one go! Rose just tries to swallow her whole fist & keeps making herself gag when she does :eek:
Chesty how is your little guy today?are you going to change formula or see what happens?0 -
yeah he looks so cute when he's sucking his thumb.. but his poor hands are in rag order!! he bled one of his fingers yesterday i didn't know whether to put a plaster on it or not... i put sudocreme on them last night when he went to bed.. and i discovered my clinique moisturiser is great for it too when he's asleep.. expensive though!!
ten weeks is so early for teeth :eek: is she on the bottle?? ouch if she's not!! she looks gorgeous in the pics 0 -

that's great news, it's such a relief when you have an answer!! sounds like he's going through the spurt or maybe just settled enough to drink his bottles!! Ben everynow nad then thinks that he's getting the comfort feed and refuses the bottle still until i get a tiny bit into his mouth and he realises its the nice bottle and he drains it! 0

Yeah, the gasping for air especially in his sleep is scary, but seemingly very normal with this condition. TG he only has a very mild case. I googled it on youtube and there are some bad cases....

Thankfully it is nothing serious, first I thought teething then reflux and people thought I was crazy but I knew there was something making him restless!
Best of luck on Monday Cbyrd..let us know how Ben gets on.
(BTW, little guy is so adorable in the last link)

So Bens poo has been bottled and sent for testing!! :eek::D yuck
other than that i've just to wait keep doing what i'm doing til the results are back and then he'll be reviewed!
there's very little more info they could give me but she told me to stop the gavisgon and see what happens... one bottle without it and he puked all over me:rolleyes: in the A and E dept when i was waiting to get my leg seen to!! needless to say it went into the next bottle!;)
so 4 or 5 days we should know more0 -

Oh lucky you Cbyrd having to bottle Ben's poo, as though cleaning it up wasn't bad enough hopefully they'll get to the bottom of what's wrong with him.
Poor Chesty that's tough going when they want to be in the arm's all day. Rose gets days like that, especially when her teeth are at her. I have 2 different chairs for her - a bouncer & a bumbo so I try alternate her in those 2 seats, or if we're in the bedroom I prop her on a pillow on the bed.
Either way I keep chatting to her the whole time even when she's giving out & it can distract her a bit. At least long enough to let me finish up what I'm doing!
Hopefully your little man will get sorted with the Lactease 0 -

I have a bouncer/rocker chair and I have his musical mobile on a chair beside it, I may get 15 - 20mins out of this (if I'm lucky)....Also have a swing chair which I thought he maybe too small for but am gonna give it a try.
Havent bought a sling yet, thought about it but would prefer to get him used to sitting on his own but it def is a back-up plan:). yeah he seems to like the sound of the electric shower so may try the hoover/tumble dryer when downstairs.
I just bought bottle of Lactease this morn (lot cheaper than Colief) and works on the same principal (i.e. colief 7ml just over euro 15....Lactease 7ml is euro 12 and 15.5ml of Lactease is euro 15).
Anyhow, again I need some advice. The instructions have left me a bit confused....2 ways to administer when bottle feeding...as follows:
1. when making bottle add 4 drops to warm formula (NOT HOT as this destroys the actual drops) then wait 30mins before feeding....(EVER TRY HOLDING OUT A STARVING BABY LONGER THAN 5 MINS????) especially not possible middle of night...
2. Make bottle, add 2 drops to warm formula and store in fridge for 4hrs, heat bottle when needed. If storing bottles in fridge (which I do) this does not allow you to do anymore than 1 or 2 max. So still doesnt get u thru the night feeds.
Cbyrd, how u using the Colief drops? I assume they are the same?0 -
if you make the bottles one at a time you put 4 drops in.. it takes a half hour for them to break down the lactose in the bottle so make it up about a half hour or so before you need it..;) but i've often just put it in and then given it to him.. desperation
if you need to make up a few bottles and store them, then you put 2 drops in cos i assume that the 2 drops will work the same as the 4 over a longer period.. if you get me..
so if you were making bottles during the day one at a time then you put in 4 drops, for storing in the fridge for a few hours then just put in 2..
hope this makes sense 0 -

thats great!! sounds just like what happened with Ben its such a relief when they come back to normal!!:D
is he showing ant sign yet of routine or still on demand?? i know with the colief drops you can't really heat the bottle up too much .. but the way i managed was when i thought he was getting hungry doing the sucking thing with his lips) i'd make one.. if it was less than a half hour it still seemed to work. it just needs that half hour to get working fully, i did notice one the bottles where he had less than a half hour, his poo was lumpy it was funny in an odd way !! 0 -

Poor Isobel
I was the same with Rose, even though she had all the symptoms of teething I just thought she was far too young to be starting, how wrong I was!
You can give her teetha, though I find Rose is so wriggly that she ends up with more down her chin/neck than in her mouth!
Also Bonjela is now advertised for use from 4 months, but my local Boots told me its safe to use from 2 months old. It had always been used from 2 months & still is in the UK but they changed the licensing laws here recently.
Hopefully those little teeth wont cut through til you're ready to give up breastfeeding
Chesty fingers crossed that lactease will do the trick for your little one, it makes all the difference when they start sleeping more!0 -

Omg yes keeping them attached would be high on my list of priorities also!:D
She's not too bad thanks, she does getty ratty days when her teeth and the teething nappies are nothing short of traumatic (for me!) but I'm using Calgel (my mam picked it up in Newry) and its a Godsend because she hates bonjella!
I think its the same as Detinox so I'm going to get my mam to pick up some of that too, that or buy online from UK
Hopefully Isobel wont be in too much pain with them 0 -

what happens if your baby is a little ratfink who wakes every time she is transported from sleeping position to moses basket during the day?! lol
can't seem to get her down during the day, even if she's already asleep. She wakes up as soon as she hits the mattress. At night she's grand though...it's so weird. I guess she just knows, once she's in the moses basket, thats it for the night.
My little one is exactly the same! Won't sleep at all during the day except in my arms, at 10 weeks old she's getting pretty heavy and there's only a certain amount of TV I can take!!
Having read this thread though I checked her mouth and about 2 thirds of the way back she has the tell-tale white bumps which would explain her crankiness the last week or so 0
