Florentine_Pogen Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Can anyone recommend a toy box/chest that is pretty spacious? Nothing too dear, although pretty sturdy. We used one of these. Didn't cost a penny cos' we half-inched it from the removals guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightscamera Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 What's the going rate these days? I was all ready to stick a quid under the pillow but according to the misses (apparently the bairn even knew this?!) it's meant to be silver so 50p it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 At the sick kids A&E last night, my wee one has severe Croup. She was Wheezing and Coughing all night whilst i try and sleep upright beside her. Not very nice. Anyones baby suffered from this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Any tips for getting a 4 year old to crap more than once a week? Not more fruit, water, lactulose or califig because we've tried all these. Any other suggestions? She's got a bit of a phobia about going (still - I thought she'd grow out of it) so tends to try and keep it in. Explaining that it'll be really sore doesn't work either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually thinking of trying the GP and seeing what he recommends. I'm sure once he's had a few easier goes, he'll be fine but, like your daughter, he just won't until it becomes an accident and he gets even more upset about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with a girl who's daughter who must be P5 now and still has difficulties going. Think she goes about once a month (if lucky). She just bloats and bloats until she ends up having accidents. Sure she is/was given sachets of stuff to take about 4 times a day but that doesn't help. It does seem to be pretty closely linked to pains going when they are younger that scares them into holding it in. The docs, in Dundee anyway, don't seem to really know much about why it's happening and how to properly help 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

top six next year Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I strongly recommend a Tens machine to anyone that's going to be pregnant. Apparently it makes all the difference if you want minimum in the way of drugs. My wife bought one and used it for about 20 minutes. £50 down the drain, IMHO, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 My wife bought one and used it for about 20 minutes. £50 down the drain, IMHO, £50.00 well spent to not having to listen to her nagging you for months and months about not buying it, IMHO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had this bother a couple of months back with my 4 year old. I ended up getting the pharmacist at the local boots to prescribe and give us Lactulose (sp?) as they were out of movacol. Movacol you can buy and add to drinks and it really does the business. Speak to your GP or just go into a Boots and ask, but for my money movacol works a treat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is you don't want it to work too well and she has accidents that just make her more stressed about going. Seems that it might not be prescribed for under 12 but I will check with the doctor/chemist.

Movicol Junior. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I should have mentioned that - Movacol Junior. Comes in chocolate or flavourless, I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 G-man, my son still has regular crapping himself incidents and he's 6 but since he started school in August it's only happened there once. The nurse explained it as he'll only crap when he's comfortable so he's more likely to hold it in until he gets home. 12 months ago he was still having daily accidents but it's down to 2-3 times a week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
