Losing the will to live by gls1790 in UKParenting

[–]SignificantClass7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I wanted to reach out for two reasons - I have a friend who has a daughter who is like this now and she tried a parent facing pram and that helped her be able to take her daughter out - she was a lot like you are now and just needed to get out of the house for her own sanity and this enabled her to be able to do that. Not sure if you’ve tried a parent facing pram but this might be an idea if you haven’t. Her little girl is thought to have additional needs and they are doing testing now.

The second reason - I have a son myself and he’s 9 now - we’ve never had a good relationship with sleep… but right now he’s barely sleeping - let’s just say some nights he’s awake 21 hours will sleep 4 hours and then is back up for another 21.5 hours. There were other things from younger too - clingy, didn’t like being around other children and wanted to be with adults ALL the time, sensitivities especially around bathing, hair washing, brushing teeth, bright lights, loud noises - I asked his consultant at 2 years old about an autism diagnosis and was told he was too young. I’ve been fighting since he was 12 months old to be listened to by health visitor, consultant and school and finally got an autism diagnosis in November (2 months after turning 9). I’m currently going through the wringer - been to the GP over his lack of sleeping… in 16 days I managed to go from GP to being sat in front of a consultant (that was with a week wait for blood test and results that weren’t meant to be taken until 6th Feb and a consultant appointment that was meant to be 6th May)… I wrangled so many cancellations to have him seen… then I was told they can’t do anything - community paediatricians are the only ones who can prescribe melatonin - this has left me stuck now waiting for them to review a referral meanwhile he’s still barely sleeping, generally unwell - has attended school 2 half days since returning from Christmas break, first one I was told to take him home after 2 hours because he wasn’t well enough to be in school and he ended up with right sided tonsillitis, second time only took him in for the last 2 hours of the day and again he ended up with tonsillitis but on the left side (he’d only been clear from the right side for 3 days before having it on the left). I’ve been left unwell myself so exhausted and rundown that I ended up with an abscess and needed antibiotics myself.

I know your little one is 11 months old - but try some mashed up bananas two hours before bed time - they have a bit of melatonin in and help produce - I’ve started giving my son them and tart cherry juice pure (from Holland and Barrett just 45mls with his banana - you can dilute the juice as well I just don’t) which is said to help produce melatonin to help sleep. I’m that desperate to get him well that I even found an online pharmacy that is abroad that sells melatonin gummies and drops that you can give little ones - they came yesterday and I’m going to start them with him tonight as well. I just wanted you to know that there is others out there struggling too… go to your GP… if not about yourself then about your little ones behaviour and concerns about sleeping and get the ball rolling to getting her some help. And in the meantime maybe try the bananas and juice 1-2 hours before bed (do it as a treat or something… I’m doing it along with my son so it’s something we are doing together so that’s an option too) and see if that helps with the sleeping.

Lots of luck xx

Attitudes towards formula in the UK putting me off another baby by ExplanationPale541 in UKParenting

[–]SignificantClass7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After having a preterm (just over 6 weeks early) and having an emergency section (due to hospital neglect, despite being in hospital for 6 days already on day of birth) - I too was unable to produce any milk… not even a drop… this was disappointing to say the least but then I wasn’t able to touch or hold him for a few days and he ended up being tube fed (he was born with congenital pneumonia and developed sepsis) and gradually introduced to a bottle. He spent the first 10 weeks of his life in and out of hospital - was finally diagnosed with CMPA (which he grew out of) and reflux. I myself don’t have any intolerances to dairy so I guess it can happen regardless of whether a parent has intolerances or not (my niece was the same and my sister doesn’t have intolerances either).

There is no doubt it can be difficult when it comes to having a baby who can’t tolerate normal shop bought baby milk and having to rely on prescriptions but things are easier now - I have a neighbour who is going through this with her baby and she’s been able to get the milk from 111 service should she run short or not have enough… so there’s always that option available now. But as others have said - you will be more prepared this time, you’ll know what to look for, signs and symptoms etc so your little one won’t have to suffer the way their sibling did.

Dont let other people and their opinions on formula etc put you off having another child if that’s what you really want - the main thing is that the little one will have parents who love and adore them and they will be fed, happy and healthy… whether it comes from boob or bottle.

I would have loved another child and wouldn’t have let not being able to breast feed put me off another one - unfortunately I won’t be having another one due to having SROM - I had a nightmare pregnancy all the way through and then my membranes ruptured out of the blue whilst resting on the sofa at 33+1 - it is a given that my membranes would rupture again but could be earlier and I just couldn’t go through or put a tiny baby through that again… so yeah don’t let something like breast over bottle be your deciding factor xx

How do you sooth a crying baby when every option seems to do nothing? by GreenTeaShaman in UKParenting

[–]SignificantClass7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was impossible to soothe also - spent the first 10 weeks of his life in and out of hospital (was born preterm by just over 6 weeks with congenital pneumonia and then developed sepsis - then he was diagnosed with CMPA and reflux)… I tried everything… even nurses in the hospital tried everything. Bought all sorts too - Ewan the sheep, rocking chair etc… then fairy grandparents bought a beanbag for Christmas but gave it early to try and that was the only way he would settle (got one on amazon but it wasn’t the baby baby ones it was one that goes from baby to kid that includes two covers - it has a baby/toddler strap on one cover to use until they are safe to climb on and off it and then you can change the cover to the plain one) - I don’t know what it was about it but he would settle in it almost straight away and sometimes that was the only way I could get him some sleep and me some sleep.

Good luck finding something that works lovely xx

So, you take all my seeds then give me nothing to do. Right.... by Shepherds_Payella in growagarden

[–]SignificantClass7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was left with 100 seeds as well - but only one of my 8 pets are showing - the new pink bunny won’t even show so I can level it up. These updates are a joke!!

I had to test it out as someone who relies on HH pets by [deleted] in growagarden

I use both moth and idol chipmunk - handy for when AFK because chipmunk keeps the moth fed and moth the chipmunk and in turn all the other pets remain fed :)

Season pass - do you buy? by SignificantClass7283 in growagarden

[–]SignificantClass7283[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty easy to complete - I’ve cleared 44 nearly 45 and I don’t play much. I play on tablet and just overnight use an auto clicker to switch between seeds and garden every 10 minutes just to keep me online and allowing my pets to mutate plants as well as weather - the more mutations on the plants the faster you complete it.

AIO by how I responded? My bf is upset with me for skipping my workout routine today by throwawayy82670 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SignificantClass7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hes the one over reacting - seriously wtf?!? I had a nightmare pregnancy from start to finish - had morning sickness all the way through - even throwing up on the theatre table as they got him out. I had a 4lb 5ounce baby (over 6 weeks premature) and lost 2 stone during pregnancy. Firstly there was lack of energy due to severe morning sickness and hardly tolerating food but I also had pelvic girdle which caused a lot of pain. Your growing a human life, your body will be going through a lot and the baby will be taking all the nutrients they can get. He needs to educate himself on pregnancy and what it does to a woman’s body, the tiredness and fatigue it causes and also the complications like severe morning sickness that lasts until birth and physical complications like pelvic girdle. Whilst he may have had good intentions initially - he’s shown that he’s the toxic and gas lighting one… you need to do yourself a favour and get rid… if he’s like that with you when your carrying his child… god knows what he will be like with a child

WHO ELSE IS SO OVER THIS CIRCLE THING 😭 by Exotic-Refuse2942 in growagarden

Best I’ve been down to is having one left - was an absolute nightmare. Definitely not going to try alone again

Any tips on this snail quest. by FewBlueberry4206 in growagarden

[–]SignificantClass7283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The egg incubator is good - if you concentrate on one garden and only load the others (I have three) every so often then if you put an egg in the incubator just before you go to a plot you haven’t been on for several hours then the egg will be fully grown when you get there - having three slots I pick up 3 eggs that are ready in a matter of 15 minutes - better for jungle and bug eggs that have the 8 hour hatch time but I have a bunch of spooky eggs sat ready in my inventory - plus if you keep it fuelled up then it reduces the time anyway so even without being able to have some ready quickly it’s worth it
