I also founf houmus and coffee made him suffer. I drew the line at giving up bread! I also went to an oestopath and it worked, at 18 weeks he was feeding every 3 hrs, i didnt know myself. I used to feed him then wind, then into the sling, without that, i would have never seen my daughter.....i gave up brushing my hair!

So glad someone else thought the breastfeeding advice was terrible! Along with the rest of it!
I found a lot of contradictions in it, and it really went against a lot of medical advice.

Chocolate is a real trigger for my little fella too. My midwife said that it gives them terrible pains in their tummy and that fits right in with my experience.

I am wounded, and betrayed. I have been trying every conceivable dinner combination for my now 6 month old, for a few weeks now. Cooking and pureeing veg, fish, chicken, beef, you name it. All I got was tears, gagging, holding it in her mouth and refusing to swallow it, or spitting it out.
I caved in and bought some of the pouches of baby dinners yesterday. Thought I'd prove to myself that I have a baby that just doesn't like dinner time. Well, the little rip scoffed half the pouch of sweet potato and salmon
I was caught between being pleased she'd finally enjoyed a dinner, and gutted that she doesn't appreciate my cooking. I was surprised too, as there was quite a strong taste off of it. Oh well, I suppose if that's what it takes for a while. Though I was determined it would be homemade as much as possible, and only use ready made when out and about.

Haahaa 73cat...yeah mine did that a few weeks ago....I have him a jar when I was out and about and I had to nearly drag his face out of his food.

Well lesson learned...I've been putting supermilk on the little guy's brekkie herethe last few days, he has developed the worse nappy rash I have ever seen courtesy of the diarrhea....broken skin and everything!

[wmpdd3]

^^^O

My one's the same, she awake now up there with a sore bum, I just gave her calpol as I thought her teeth were at her, but I got her supermilk for the vit D last week and her bum got sore after that. Its the first time ever I've out sudacreme on her!

There you go!

Little man is wrecking my head, sleeping in my bed so I've to put his cot together at the weekend and find a place for him to sleep. He keeps kicking me in my ribs and if I turn into him he grabs my boobs! Time for an exit.

No idea where I'm going to put his cot!

For those that brought your child to an osteopath for whatever reason, did you need to attend more than one session?

I ask because I brought my little guy last week in relation to an issue he was having with his sinuses. There was an immediate positive result from his treatment, although it did regress the following few days (the osteopath did say this was common).
However now less than a week on, we're back to square one.

Did ye find osteopathy was something that worked immediately for you or did it require a few sessions?

I'm not asking for medical advice, more about the nature of the treatment.
Osteopathy is not something I've used before or would be familiar with. It did appear to work so well the first time though

God this breastfeeding malarky is great altogether. L is 5 months old, and I am a stone lighter than I was when I got pregnant (2 stones lighter than when I gave birth). I haven't been this weight in at least 10 years!

AFAIK I think it can take a couple of sessions. I'm hoping to take my fella to one to sort out his pains after feeding, as the treatments for colic and reflux arent hitting the spot.

Its great, isnt it? I was in my pre-pregnancy jeans 15 days after I gave birth, and just 2kg off my first pregnancy weigh-in weight. I weighed in at 51kg and I'm now 53kg and baby is 11 weeks. My tummy looks just as good as it did before (in clothes) and I am actually loving my body more post-pregnancy because it bounced back so nicely for me. But I do know that once the BF tapers off, I will have to work to keep what nature so kindly gave me so hope to start some sort of exercise once baby settles down a bit into his own routine - probably Yoga and Running if I can.

My friend once said once u become a mother u feel guilty for the rest of ur life.. I know what she means now!!!!

Seriously wondering how I'm gonna fit a 42hr work week in next month

God I'll miss her....

[wmpdd3]

Oh DL, you poor thing, I remember the first few weeks when I went back full time.

Cap, I went on a Wednesday then, Wednesday 2 weeks later and then a day before his next set of injections. He was better after the 2nd time, he was much better by the injections.

When I brought my newest baba she just needed the one treatment. She was in OP stargazer position and the treatment helped to straighten her out which then helped with her reflux. The lady doing it said that a second treatment might be necessary or the one could be enough. This particular woman has been recommended a lot on this board.

I brought my first to someone else because she waking crying at night for no obvious reason and got the impression that he would happily keep treating her as long as I was paying, if that makes sense. We stopped going when she didn't get better, if anything she was worse, after 2 sessions.

[caprilicious]

Thanks for the replies about osteopathy I'll give one more session a go & see how it goes from there

So jealous at the amount of ye that had your babies after me & have already lost your baby weight I feel like such a chubby article but just don't get any time away from the kids to exercise
