Pregnancy And Parenting


Recommended Posts

My one seems to be undergoing one of those developmental step changes at the minute. Shes always been a pretty good baby but the last few days she has suddenly seemed to pick up loads. She seems to understand a lot of what is said to her, is able to repeat a lot more words and seems to know her daily routine a lot better.

Of course she still has her moments, they all do I think but right now at around 19 months old she is an absolute joy. A wee ray of sunshine for everyone she crosses paths with. Cant help feeling this is the moment to be cherished before random words become well constructed cheek/backchat.


I've been amazed at those development flurries where things change pretty much daily.

My eldest (nearly 4) absolutely loved Christmas but the wee man (2) is being a bit of a shit and going through a 'not eating anything' phase. Every bloody meal time is a struggle as he seems interested in nothing. We eventually manage to persuade him but it's getting exhausting.

Is that all four of them pre-school age? Any twins in there? If not, you should consider buying a TV or taking up a hobby :lol:

 

 

He's already got a hobby...

After arriving exactly 1 month early on Xmas day via emergency C-section, spending 2 nights in the neonatal unit and a struggle to get the feeding sorted, this wee lad and his brilliant mum came home last night. I was sitting with him in my arms at midnight seeing in the new year, best Xmas and Hogmanay I'll ever have.

Amazing to see his change from being whisked away 4hrs old struggling with his breathing to being home and doing well. A tough tough cookie, much like SJC's wee one who I hope continues to fight & recover to full health.

My daughter (20 months) ended up in A&E on Hogmanay after taking a severe allergic reaction to a peanut that she nicked from her mother.  It was very scary to see just how quickly, and how severely it developed.  Her spewing all over the hospital waiting room was a sight!  The receptionist quickly piped up with "Is she ok?" which was met with the obviously "of course she's bloody not".  We got taken in very quickly after that, and spent the next four hours in the ward. 

Thankfully, she's ok after a couple of days of steroids.  We've been referred to the pediatrician consultant to discuss how we deal with it going forward, and what to do should it happen again.

Anything containing nuts is now out of the house.  Has anyone here had any experience, or experience with their kids, of this?

Glad she's better. @Rowan's the girl for allergy advice!

My daughter has loads food allergies, gluten, wheat, dairy, egg, soya and strawberries.

Once you know what her triggers are then it's easier. I have epipens and piriton in house, car, school etc. Make sure all your family are there when/if nurse comes out show how to administer epipen and they will got to nursery/childcare provider too.

ive not tried her with nuts as there is a fair chance she'd react. 

Niamhs very articulate and great at telling people she can't have stuff. you can get child alert braclets.

You'll possibly be referred to a dietician, don't get your hopes up as they were useless.

the Paediatrican may do allergy sensitivity tests but they aren't all what accurate. Niamh didn't react to egg yet stood beside me when I whipped egg whites one day and came out in blotches.

its scary to start with but we haven't had any 999 since we worked out it was strawberry sending her into anaphylactic shock.

Drop me a pm anytime.
