Little monkey has been put on Zantac for the reflux. Already hates the taste of it! She is 14 and 1/2lb. My little baby weighs more than a stone!!! She has also grown nearly 8cm. Paediatrician was pleased with her in terms of head and neck control and all that stuff. Will be curious to see if the phn echoes this next week at 3 month check up

I'm sure she will Roesy. That's great that she's on Zantac, you should see an improvement with her.
That's a good weight as well. I think my fella is about the 16lb mark now. Some difference from the tiny 6lb 13oz I came home with!
OH has gone out. Me & Hugo against the world

:eek: That sounds very lax! Did she have her hearing checked in the hospital? Perhaps the 4 month thing is to allow for development; maybe they can't check before a certain age?
Yw she had it checked in the hospital but like.i had her in her bouncer in the kitchen and dropped a pot on the tiles and she didn't even bat an eyelid. The phn just said if shes deaf there isnt anything that can be done anyway and that she may just be too young to be noticing noises but surely she should know for definite and all the books say by 3 months they should be turning towards noise 0 -

Is she babbling yet, Madisson?
I know sometimes I could clatter stuff around Rory and he pays no attention. Does she startle with noises when she's falling asleep? Try not to worry too much.
Ye shes started babbling. She could be just really chillaxed and not bothered by anything but its just nerve wracking. Havent noticed the falling asleep bit. .ill give it a go when shes drowsy tomorrow..makes sense to try ut when shes not distracted by everything around her. Thanks for that 0 -

Babbling is a sign of copying what she hears, so that's that deffo a good sign.
I wonder what weight Rory is...0 -

Just had Hugo back to the PHN for a re-check of his gross motor skills. He's to be referred to a physio regarding his inability/unwillingness to lift his head, and also a doctor regarding this and his head circumference. His head was in the 98th percentile a month ago whereas his length and weight was in the 50th, now his head is bigger again, in the 99th percentile - its grown 2cm in a month. I'm really worried that he might have hydrocephalus (which would explain the big head and the inability to lift his head)
She did agree with me that he had reflux (she's the first health professional to say so) and said that refluxy babies often hate going on their front. She suggested changing formula or infant gaviscon to see if it would help.
And still no word on my car. 0 -

Yet again our two are alike. Olivia's been having her head size monitored since 5-6 weeks. She's 99th percentile too but is pretty good with the head control. We were concerned when she had an odd lump on her head that appeared out of nowhere. Dr sent us to the hospital the same day. They were completely unconcerned about the lump but did flag her head size and wanted it monitored. With us they did ask could they measure our heads while we were there and oddly enough we had exactly the same size heads (and have pretty big noggins!) They think genetics have won out with our poor baby!!! I try not to worry too much about it, easier said than done sometimes I know. It's funny though, her head doesn't really look big. It's just long from front to back. As for the reflux, we saw a good improvement initially with the anti reflux formula. We tried gaviscon while I was still combination feeding and it made her quite constipated. It might be worth giving one or the other a shot. She is improving with the tummy time. Very short bursts when she is in good form, not too soon after a feed and not tired seem to be the key. The minute she starts showing any real distress we stop. We've noticed she is lasting a bit longer and seems to get a kick out of it in the last day or two(once the timing is right!)
Hope you aren't too long waiting to see the doctor and the physiotherapist.
It's wild in Cork at the moment. Had to go out in it earlier. The amount of surface water and debris on the roads around here is crazy. The car was rocking, was glad my husband was home and I didn't have to take the baby out in it.0 -

Weird Roesy! Wouldn't it be gas if years in the future, Hugo came home from a weekend in Cork to tell me he's met a lovely girl called Olivia.....
My OH is adopted so we haven't got his family history to go by, although his head doesn't look big in baby photos.
Weathers wild here too, even if I had a car I wouldn't be going out! Hate being stuck in the house, OH is working late tonight, won't be home till 8ish. Loooong day......0 -
