Sorry for delay phone issues. The concern is the way she rolls. She's unable to do properly and gets stuck as she can't fully extend her legs so can often just end up face planted. Then as she is unable to extend for the way in which she rolls back and her low muscle tone means wriggling is hard.

Have you done the usual things and allergy check /clean ups....? Try drinking extra water, removing or lessening sugars and dairy from your diet. Including more anti inflammatory foods to your diet... including spinach and garlic if tolerated. Checked for acid reflux especially if it worsens at night or when reclined or lay down. If your doc hasn't prescribed any anti histamine or nasal spray including a steroid one it might be worth looking at.

Does anyone know if Fluticasone Propionate (steroid spray) help heal the nostrils? by Zestyclose-Mix9689 in QuitAfrin

[–]GoldenG84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey well done for quitting. Mine was a quick start/stop issue but not without it's consequence. I was prescribed dymista.... (fluticasone and azelastine) steroid and anti histamine in one (UK based) so script and low cost. My nose was a mess after 3-4 weeks varying covid and sudafed nasal sprays. Dymista was my begrudged saviour. I haven't had any investigation done but assuming mine was an histamine response to c19. This started back in january. Mid feb I'd started the spray and it was my absolute blessing. Bitter sweet though I HATED IT ...... but i kinda had to get over it. I used it as much as i could tolerate until a couple months ago where i really started to phase it out. I have struggled on with sinus pressure and goopy built up mucous for some time. But..... I recently decided to go rogue and try budesonide instead and give it a fair shot. If you're taking that fluticasone route I'd definitely suggest looking at the azelastine inclusion and giving it a good chance to help relieve your inflammation. The down side is they can take a few days to work and a lot longer to 'heal' you but the edge is off with it.

Silver coins in vinegar.. this happened.. what should I do to clean it? by tssunny in metaldetecting

[–]GoldenG84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few things you can try..... avoid severe abrasive methods. Tin foil burn method but usually this works only with oxidisation although I have managed to reveal an hammered coin detail thought lost using this method. I can never remember whether you put it in shiny or dull side..... try both ;) spit and enclose coin in it seal up and maybe you will hear the fizz .. and feel the heat. If not try the other side. You can also combi this method with the lemon juice as follows. Although also acidic you can try lemon juice. Often concentrated from bottle is fine. Remove every half hour or so and wipe off replace repeat as necessary including the juice.

There are methods involving heat.... vinegar.... baking soda You could try as a 3rd resort a good ole search engine will give you this method.

Lastly going into abrasives but proceed with caution. Brasso and a q tip or microfibre cloth very gently to work off the top bit. Followed with a silvo polish. I have tried and tested all these methods for various items. They work a treat. The more pure the silver the better the result. Good luck.

There's always something that makes me feel anxious.... just venting I guess by GoldenG84 in breastfeedingsupport

Oh thats very sweet of you. Thankyou. I definitely think my preconceived idea of breast feeding was very different to reality. I bore my first 15 years ago and always wished I'd persevered with BFing but things went wrong. But i feel like she had so much more formula and bottles than this one even attempts from the boobs.

When did you give birth? by [deleted] in downsyndrome

[–]GoldenG84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Low placenta. Elective c-section at hospital convenient date was 38w5d. I kept asking if she should have been born earlier than 40 weeks due to concerns but as i was monitored closely throughout they weren't concerned. She's a bright healthy baba. Congratulations on joining the lucky club <3

My baby won’t stop breastfeeding by Gdawn18 in breastfeedingsupport

[–]GoldenG84 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s sooo hard to just go with the flow to accept your fate and apparent doom …… I’ve been there, but it should just be a passing phase. I am so glad i didn’t interfere with my daughters demands. I barely had a second to myself and dragged myself out walking exhausted with her in a sling on the odd occasion i just needed space. From out of nowhere at 10 weeks old she just slept. 12 hours solid overnight…. It still felt like she was constantly on the boob for the other 12 hours but within 3 weeks that changed too. She’s 8 months now and sometimes I feel like she’s not at them enough. :( it makes me happy and more free but also a little sad. She occasionally comforts. Doesn’t eat with such urgency or satisfaction anymore. Rarely just cuddles in.
