The "Get in MY belly .. baby" Chat Thread (#29)

Ooh, I like those. I'm with Leigh, I know where to get them, and get advice and suggestions on using them from her too. And, of course, from Jackie.
Leigh, I see how that could derail how excited you are to seeing her. But Yay for her sleeping and understanding the green light. Boo to the meltdown. Eek!!
Jackie, poor little guy. At least he's drinking, maybe it will start coming out in the potty/diaper soon.

Yes watch the diapers Jackie. Simon was sick awhile back and was drinking but little pee then had a huge watery diarrhea! So keep encouraging him to drink!!

Anna has a lot of talent. Those are cute! If she figures out CD stuff, she'll sell a ton I bet you.
Leigh- So glad the clock is working. I'm sorry about your friend. We dealt with the same thing. I ended up having to feed her a lot of formula to make up for what I wasn't producing for her. But I didn't realize that until about 3 weeks of nightmare feedings, wakings, etc. It was awful. I even pumped after feedings and it wasn't enough.
Hope Aiden gets better!!

Just had to add, that simon's diarrhea was so gross! I could hear it sloshing in his diaper as he ran away from me!!!! OMG!! I hope if Aiden does have diarrhea building up it isnt that bad!!!

Sorry for the TMI people, but it was just so gross I had to share!

So here's a question, when do you switch to children's meds from infants? Just realized that Aiden is over their weight recs for dosing.

Yes, she was on a horrific feed/pump/supplement/repeat schedule for about a week, and that gained her 8 oz. and back to birth weight, but at her check yesterday she'd only gained an additional 1oz They don't think her supply is the problem, but that's why they're trying to get a definite read on exactly how much she's taking in to try and help pinpoint the problem. My friend is now wondering if she has a high palate (which apparently she did as a baby) but...I just feel bad for them. Having a newborn is hard enough without mystery feeding issues!

That's definitely gross enough to share.

Oh, we switched when I realized that By the way, it changed my life--Addy REFUSES liquid medicine no matter what it tastes like, and it was always such a struggle to get anything in her. Now I can just hand her a tablet and we're good to go. Make the switch! (And until then, you can just do a little math to give him enough of the infant stuff...I think Dr. Sears has a formula for that)

Awesome followup to the mom who went on strike story: Lisa Belkin: What I Learned From Jessica Stilwell, The Striking Mom

[alwayssmile]

Ewwwww Mona! Did get Aiden to eat a fruit cup for lunch. Better than nothing. AND afterwards he wet a diaper! Good. lol. Still pushing fluids.

[KittyRN]

Simon takes advil chewable, and he loves them! So much easier than liquid! He begs for more!!!!

[redneckgirl82884]

I'm glad he ate something. Hopefully little man gets to feeling better and yay wet diaper!!
Mona- yuck lol.. I can't imagine.

Leigh- Do they have her recording all input/output?
