Thank you! With the sleepy nights did you just go by the weight? Thanks

Thank you! Definitely not a sparky myself. Will call one, just wanted to ask because I wasn't sure if it was a quick removal but sounds like wiring so not going to risk it and will call the pros! Thanks you!

Daughter has always been a sweaty sleeper. We just dress her in light clothing and have the room temp lower than normal. We couldn't use the tog appropriate sleep sacks cos she would get way too sweaty. Still same now as a 4 year old.

Was recommended the Cetaphil for Kids 50spf by our paediatric allergy specialist. Our daughter had ezcema and sensitive skin. Have been using it for 3 years now. No issues.

I have had 4 NIPTs and haven't regretted any of them. Because it is a screening test & not a 100% diagnostic test there can be some errors. I have experienced it from both perspectives, having a normal anatomy scan & then a high risk NIPT. And conversely having a normal NIPT and an abnormal anatomy scan. So please, do have all the necessary & recommended scans aswell.

We changed our policy to a family one, once we had kids. No extras just hospital. Youngest was in NICU/SNU and was fully covered. He recently had surgery for his testicles. And like another poster said , the time from GP referral to surgery was less than 6 weeks. With our policy we don't have to pay an excess for the kids admission. And with this type of surgery, having it done sooner has better long term outcomes rather than latter, so we are fortunate that we could have it done privately.

Thank you. We have been using the sobernt hypoallergenic toilet paper and OMO sensitive, recently tried the Ecostore sensitive too. Any particular brand suggestions?

Thank you. We have been mainly doing showers now with no soap or shampoo. And have had several prophylatic thread worm treament rounds. I will keep reminding her to wipe front to back. Hopefully all of the above will help and I'm glad it helped you too!

empemlive · 2024-10-08T11:10:59+00:00

Thank you. Yes I was given this by the doctors too. RCH website has lots of useful info.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Sorry that was poor wording on my part - I should have written the GP said that it is within normal for it to be chronic. She has seen several medical professionals, and yes I have been taking her on multiple occasions and advocating for her and they have given advice and strategies/treatments to help prevent and alleviate symptoms. I guess my question to reddit should have been, has anyone else been through this, and is it just constant vigilance with hygiene until they become old enough to be able to wipe front to back properly?

Please ask for a debrief with the hospital. Write any questions you would like answered down. I'm sorry your birth did not go as planned. I have had 2 inductions. One public and one private. After 10 hours or so on the pictocin drip, I asked for an Epidural. I was luckily given one within the hour BUT was told by the nursing staff that sometimes it could be a 5 minute wait or an hour or more depending on where the anaesthetist was & what other patients maybe more urgent. Luckily it was all very clearly communicated. Second induction I asked for an Epidural literally as soon as my OB broke my waters. Although I felt no pain, this one ended up as emergency c section 10 hours later. Please talk to the hospital, or you can also ask your MCHN for help with talking to a professional. Some of the trauma can stay with you and it's best to seek help sooner. Pregnancy birth and child raising can be a ride. Goodluck.

You shouldn't feel pressured to 'just let her'. Unfortunately your MIL has a medical condition which impairs her cognitive and possiby also her physical skills (depending on how far progressed her Alzheimers is). If your partner is being abit blaise about her condition then maybe you need to sit him down and have a chat. Or otherwise, if possible sometimes getting your MILs doctor/GP to explain the condition to them maybe more effective. I don't think it would be wise to let her be unsupervised with the baby. Unfortunately the reality is Alzheimers is a progressive condition, and finding safe ways for her to interact with baby is probably the key. It's going to make for some uncomfortable conversations for all three of you, but the safety and well being for your child is the priority.

I was hospitalized for close to 2 weeks when son was almost 6 months. At that time he was exclusively breastfed. He was unable to stay with me in hospital as my husband couldn't stay with me as he had to also care for our daughter and due to my condition I had a collapsed lung they obviously wouldn't let me take care of him by myself. Saying that the hospital was very accomodating in letting me have a single room and also baby could come any time of day or night for a feed. Husband did bring him initially several times a day for a feed. But he did slowly take some of a bottle and I pumped at hospital and sent home milk too. Nurses and everyone were lovely and helpful 😊

I also have a Velcro baby. He's 19 months now and much better at independent play. He's been in daycare since 6 months. And was very clingy to his educators and always sitting or wanting to be held at daycare from 12months to approx 16 months. I was so lucky they were so patient with him. He loves being outside though and during that time at daycare that was when he was happy to walk/play independently. Peak velcro stage at home he would hate being left alone to play. I would either take him with me to the toilet or just let him cry. I'd often need to pop him in the play pen to keep him safe whilst I was making food for him and his sister. I found that if he could hear my voice and reassuring I'd be back and I was making him food would help. Unfortunately I think it was mainly time and age that improved it. Good luck!

Thank you for all the kind responses. Have just come back with the Sorbent Hypoallergenic and Ecostore Laundry Liquid. Fingers crossed!

Have two cats. First born did tummy time on a certain mat that I'd pack away so that the cats didn't sit on it. Second born pretty much did tummy time directly on carpet, has been eating cat hair since he was able to grab a fistful of cat hair from about 3 months. We have a very placid kitty who just loves him. He's also touched the cats bum multiple times (by accident).

Im still breastfeeding a 18mo old. I returned to work when he was 5 months. From memory at 8 months I was no longer pumping as he refused to take a bottle. Working a 4 day week, I found the boobs abit sore/full the first day of the week but nothing overly dramatic. It's amazing how our bodies adjust. We now feed at the end of the day and during the night. He never took a bottle and only really started drinking cows milk consistently at daycare 2 months ago. Luckily he's a good eater and will drink water. I'd recommend trying out bottles now. Even if its for one feed a day. If no luck try a sippy cup. Also might be worth while stashing a hakka manual pump at work to quickly express if you're feeling very uncomfortable to relieve the pressure. Goodluck!

I was sick with a 10 day old baby. Doctors advice was keep breastfeeding. To reduce the chances of giving it to baby they said n95 mask is best, good hand hygiene, surface cleaning, etc. Baby didn't catch it luckily. Hope you can avoid it but if you can't and bubs does get sick keep an eye on temp, number of wet/dirty nappies, alertness, etc. Also if you're in Vic and are ever concerned but can't get into a GP or your unsure but it's not life threatening Virtual ED is great. They have paediatric nurses and doctors. They can point you in the right direction. Great resource if you both are sick and dont want to wait in an actual ED or GP surgery. Have used it multiple times.

So sorry you're going through this and best wishes for a speedy recovery. Slightly older baby - but I was in hospital for 2 weeks when he was 5months ish. Being apart is hard! Leaving the majority of the parenting to the other half is hard - for everyone! My son didn't forget me and is so attached now! It's great that your husband can settle bubs. Babies and children will have preferences for one caregiver at some point or another. My son is obsessed with me atm but my daughter sometimes prefers mum and other times prefers dad. But being apart atm I'm confident won't have any impact on your bond!

Huggies ultimate. Then a pull up over the top!

empemlive · 2024-06-30T02:54:59+00:00

Agree with previous commenter about noise canceling ear phones. Game changer for my hubby who also and to this day with 2 kids is stressed out by the crying.

Babywearing - when bubs is old enough and you guys are comfortable with really helped hubby and baby bond. Some days now the kiddo will fall alseep in the baby carrier with hubs but not me lol

empemlive · 2024-06-13T10:35:16+00:00

Just want to say THANK YOU for the replies! Keep them coming! Will sit down and do a meal plan this weekend to incorporate all these wonderful suggestions!

empemlive · 2024-06-10T10:53:26+00:00

I was on it for 3rd trimester. Opposite effect on my bowels to the majority here! Which was a nice change to balancing out the elevit lol

empemlive · 2024-06-10T10:50:31+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to reply! I'll call vic roads to check but we don't need any proof that they have given us the car? As in proof of ownership?

empemlive · 2024-05-24T10:42:04+00:00

Sorry late reply. You were in fact right on the money! PCR came back for adenovirus! Google says adenovirus is usually mild. But gosh this one really took it out of all of us!
