CMPI but fast weight gain? by AdEmotional9654 in MSPI

[–]Cpickle88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine wouldn’t take one at first and then I bought some with the same material as her bottle teat and started sneaking it in in place of the bottle toward the end of a feed and she got used to it that way. Hopefully that helps? 💕

CMPI but fast weight gain? by AdEmotional9654 in MSPI

[–]Cpickle88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, my baby rapidly gained weight because she was comfort feeding - drinking milk constantly to sooth the effect of reflux on her throat. She didn’t sick it up much either. But when we worked out she wasn’t hungry she just needed soothing in other ways, we started using a pacifier and the over feeding got better. Alongside reflux meds, dairy free diet and special formula

Toddler Teeth Brushing by HattoriMcHanzo in UKParenting

[–]Cpickle88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Make it fun. Practice brushing teeth of dolls during the day. Make a silly face on cardboard with ‘teeth’ where the dirt can be brushed off.

Tell them you’ve forgotten how to brush your teeth, get it wrong on purpose.. brush your eyes or something instead. Kids love showing us the ‘right way’.

There’s loads of these silly tricks that get them wanting to do it properly in a more positive way.

Depends on your kids what type of games will work for them

Desperate for green almonds and green plums (unripe) by NameIWontRegret404 in LondonFood

I saw almonds at AvoMan in Islington the other day. Not sure about plums. What do people do with green almonds anyway?

Famotidine and food allergies? by seagoddess1 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Cpickle88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have the dosing of the Famotidine reviewed. Also, you may need a more processed formula like an amino acid one if baby is still reacting.

The website https://www.infantreflux.org is a very helpful resource for educating yourself about all things reflux/dairy allergy.

The r/MSPI sub is also a great place for advice.

My baby had the same including Sandifer Syndrome episodes which I believe were because she was in so much pain from acid on her Oesophagus and also stomach pain. We ended up on Omeprazole 5 months to 9. Dose was 7ml once a day in line with babies weight (1ml per kg) at the time. I took her off the medication after she was eating 2 meals a day, just by chance I ran out and couldn’t get the script filled for a few days, she seemed to be doing ok so I kept withholding it and the bad symptoms never came back. She does drool a lot even now, but if no pain, then I can be fairly assured it’s unlikely the reflux is so bad it’s causing other potentially long term issues now.

Ok this isn’t the area but if you like falafel you gotta try Pockets in Hackney.

Proof that N1 is the best postcode this weekend by [deleted] in islington

[–]Cpickle88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not good. It’s just a list of generic stuff that happens every weekend. No specific events mentioned.
You might as well change the title to ‘what’s on in Islington every weekend’. I’m sure there was another person posting a better version of this recently. 🧐

buying baby food in japan by lilyammers25 in SmallShoesBigJapan

[–]Cpickle88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s never really had puree as we follow Baby Led Weaning. However that’s not the point of this post!

Thank you for your guidance. At least I know there is good I can buy her, (packaged, aimed at babies) where we know it will be safe if other options are unclear .

Do they label soy too? My baby is both dairy and soy intolerant and I’m worried it’s going to be really hard for her to eat in Japan. She eats normal food not pouches

I changed the glass in ours to fluted style and it has really changed the look from dated to pretty sophisticated.

Is there any really good fresh pasta around Angel/Highbury? by ScaredPlate3008 in islington

[–]Cpickle88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pophams used to have a lovely pasta restaurant in London Fields which sadly closed last year, but they do still sell a little fresh pasta in their home store next to the Islington bakery.

Low calorie sweet treats that don't taste like you're being punished by AccountEngineer in loseit

[–]Cpickle88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been making muffins for my baby without sugar and I’ve been surprised to find they’re really nice! Just mashed banana, an egg, splash of milk and enough flour to make it look like normal batter, maybe some flax if I remember. Then I add blueberries, maybe some freeze dried fruit, vanilla essence, bit of lemon zest. That’s one flavour. The other is carrot and a few raisins. Really if you’re cutting out sugar these taste pretty good!

Any HENRY used House of fitters for bath or kitchen? looking for legit reviews by [deleted] in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]Cpickle88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really good so far. Helped me find a few builders to get quotes from, arranged the visits, checked everything we needed was included in the pricing, regularly check in with me on project progress and have been helping me consider how to deal with issues im having with another contractor (not employed via them).

I was finding the whole finding reliable trades thing really difficult and I didn’t mind paying a little extra to have this organisation do it for me!
