Conjunctivitis ?

Hi ladies my 2 year old daughter has conjunctivitis. I'm waiting for the doctor to come tonight. Can anyone please tell me what I should do? What will help?

You can get Chlorsig drops over the counter, but will need a script for the ointment. It works well! It's important to do lots of hand washing too, you or Tempe really don't want to get it! You can also get little wipes (think they are called Little Eyes), they are great for wiping her eyes and removing any yuckiness, they're so gentle. Good luck!

Gah! Should turn lights on!

Sorry for the tmi, but during my first pregnancy i got piles, bepanthen gave me small amounts of relief! Was praying i would be lucky this time round, but unfortunately not! So i was laying in bed and was in pain so (because everyone is asleep) i creeped out to the kitchen and grabbed a tube which i thought was bepanthan, go back to bed and start applying it to the sore area! To only feel a hot/stinging/cooling feeling, i quickly grab my phone to only discover it was TOOTHPASTE! Who puts toothpaste on the KITCHEN bench!! Needless to say my bum is cold! Next time screw everyone i shall turn ALL the lights on!

One step forward...

So I started my "lose the baby weight" fitness kick tonight by doing day 1 of the couch to 5k program...

I went so well I have rewarded myself with a bowl of Doritos and a half a glass of wine! Oh well.

naps for a 5 mth old...

how long is/was your bubba sleeping for during the day? my son used to have 2 x 2hr sleeps and a 40 min nap but now is refusing to sleep past 40 mins for his afternoon sleep and within an hour is grumpy because he didnt sleep enough! could it be because his sleeping longer at night?

Definitely does differ baby to baby, but after my first 2, I became a real stickler for feed, play, change, wrap and down awake (from 5 weeks). In the early days she was only up for 45 mins but now it's 2 hours. I'm still wrapping now, trying to think about ditching it. I have also slept bub's 3 and 4 on their sides from day dot. I'm also much more relaxed and so were no 3 and 4 (coincidence - not sure?!?). No. 2 was a nightmare from birth so I've definitely seen both sides. I still feed at night if necessary (aka - she wakes up), most nights it's somewhere between 3.30 and 6.00 and she usually goes back no problems. If it's 6 or later she's usually up then. Now all I have to do is go to bed before 11!!

3 sleeps - 1 x 2 hours and 2 x 1 hour naps. The long nap is usually the first or second one. She's up for 2 hours between naps. If the last one is due too close to bed time, she has a quick 20 mins in her swing, instead of going in to her cot. She's 6 months on Wed!

Opinions please??

Just had some friends come over and they have an 8 month old , they have been to a sleep doctor and his method is
You feed and change bub, put them to bed then do not go back in till the morning. No matter how much they cry. (not controlled crying) I would never do this...
Opinions please? Anyone heard of this or tried it?

FFS!!!!!!! The comments on this post made me so cranky last night I couldn't respond! I have used CC once successfully and once it was a horrendous disaster! To answer your question Melly, I would not leave a baby (regardless of age) unattended all night if they wake distressed, it goes against every instinct I have as a mother! Small babies have tiny tummies and need to be feed when they wake at night - they get hungry more frequently! Particularly BF ones! To all the FTM and those who are expecting - along with the amazing joy that comes with becoming a new Mum you will also discover a new level of emotion you never knew was possible! Your baby will take time to get to know! They don't read any manual before they are born and may not meet the expectations of one that you have read. They will cry, sometimes when they are tired, hungry, have wind and other times just because! They have tiny tummies and will get hungry frequently - 24 hours a day! They will make you laugh, cry and fill your lives beyond belief! It can be tough in the early months but I promise IT DOESN'T go on forever! It will be the hardest and absolutely best job you ever do!!

tips to get my 8 week old to day sleep?

she only seems to sleep iny arms. as soon as i put her down 5 mins later she is screaming. i really wished she could sleep in her bed as i want to do things around the house.
any tips would be great. nights are no problem.

Yep as 2boysandabump suggested. Feed, burp, play, change, wrap and bed (awake). I personally sleep my LO on her side between this bolster thing which keeps her in position (you can get them from baby stores and they are adjustable). She's 6 months now and is up for 2 hours between sleep but 99% of the time goes down with hardly a peep! At 8 weeks she would have been up for a total of an hour. If bub gets over tired you'll struggle!! Good luck!

I have been for a week with DS. He was 12 months and I was at my wits end. It wasn't a miracle cure, but we did see improvements. We didn't pay for it, it was covered by private health insurance.

Samuel (great news!!!)

Great news ladies!!!! Baby Samuel is no longer in a critical condition, his antibodies are beginning to fight the infection instead of the infection over powering him, he is also on a respirator that he can override and take his own breaths and he has been breathing for himself occasionally :)
So obviously he's not out of the woods yet but he has improved a lot!!! :)
