wow!! my computer was in getting fixed since just after christmas and had over 25 pages to read to get caught up!!!! so sorry to hear about all the lo's being so sick
just breaks your heart.
christine - don't know if u still have the night pooping problem but i would suggest try something like rice cereal or bananas for supper..should hold lo over until the morning
alecks has been using a very high octave for the past few months and just over the last 3 or 4 weeks found a very low...almost possessed sounding pitch :twisted: that makes her cough..i know when i tried to do it - it hurt my throat...and it's not so cute for a little girl to make this noise - anyone else hearing this?
orajel - try putting it on a q tip and then putting it on lo's gums - i used to have a huge problem getting it everywhere but the gums and this seems to help a lot.
is anyone still swaddling their lo's?? unfortunately i HAVE ( or so it seems) to or else my spirited lo would keep herself up forever...anyone have any suggestions besides swaddling or 'mittens'..they don't work
alecks plays shy around SOME people only some of the time tho. she always seems to play shy with my dad and stepmom for whatever reason. she has really taken a liking to men..smiles and does the low voice thing to get their attention...maybe that's it..maybe she's copying their voices??
i have read somewhere on this site that lanolin works for rashy bums. although luke's bum may have been well beyond that..poor guy :?
bj - don't feel bad about your tantrum - i have had the occasional few in the past few weeks myself. was giving lo baby advil as per dr's orders for teething b/c it works better she said. just yesterday figured out that was the reason why dd was getting up 10-20 times a night screaming bloody murder..i felt i was getting no support from dh or my mom..dh's suggestion was to stick a boob in her mouth everytime she cried :x all i wanted to do was come onto bw to see what REAL advice i could be given when eureka! i was reading a parenting magazine yesterday and it said that advil causes upset stomachs and for my little refluxer proved to be way to much for her to handle. had a better night last night and tonight is going GREAT...no more mommy tantrums i promise!
on the pedialite - don't know what kind of electrolites they put in that stuff but it's something else. when alecksandria was constantly vomitting and lifeless i gave her a few ounces of that stuff and she slowly started kicking her legs and suddenly she had life again! stuff is wonderous!!
anyway so sorry for the long post...haven't been around just trying to catch up on everyone and my own questions!
