Ethan-doc

right firstly Ethan tested what he thought was positive and then he said negative on the allergy tests(yah) but then he said babies often dont develop as positive until 6 months....(he broke a capillary the first time or something)boo:( so we have to get retested at oneyear...in the meantime to trail Pepti(which we have and he's fine) ..so that's good..

he said c-section babies are more likely to get allergies and as i have them he was 'a sitting duck to get allergies' so he gave us polybac to give him mixed with pears every day its the bacteria babies normally get through the birth canal..apparently has bene proven to cut allergies in half..so that sounds good:)and i dont have to delay solids..just have to delay the five main groups...soy, nuts, gluten, dairy and something else till 1 so he will mostly have fruit veges and meat ..and other things carefully introduced..so (320$ later) it was actually quite good..and much better than i thought and he didnt cry during the appointment...and he got weighed 5.9 kg(little heffer:) ) that was with nappy on though

so all in all not so bad:) ! didnt know that about csection bubs:)! and they gave me 4 tins at 4$ each so thats good as well!

oh and does anyone know a good osteo in chhc..i had to cancel and she told me 'there wont be any appointments for a long time ' available.. i was thinking of the one at medlab who is supposed to be good?

That's good news. I didn't know that about c/s babies, you would think that we should all get told that
Don't know any osteos sorry.

Don't worry about it, just buy me a coffee and muffin sometime

I was just having a look at that docs website, he looks really good, think I will have to save up my pennies and take Spencer along. Might wait till 12 months so that the test is a bit more accurate though.

Great news KA! Haven't been keeping up to date much but I'm glad its a lot better than previously thought. And yay about not having to delay solids!

I hadn't heard that about c-section babies, but I would have thought that those that needed to have them would be given that information.

And woohoo for your little heffer! He's doing pretty well considering my wee midget is only 6.06kg at 13 weeks!

thanks..glad you are better too..the doc said as long as they carry on the weight charts without crossing ..esp two lines then its all good..he started off 7pd 3 though..lol i was worried hes only done 150grams last two weeks..but thats normal apparently:)!

You can get your gp to fill out the child disability thing. With the neocate as soon as they had the money the delivered the tins the same day, the script went straigh to them it didn't come to me first, they just phoned me up for payment. You might be able to go down and pay with cash and pick them up?

We went to a really good one in Merivale I think her name was Sarah and she specialises in babies was about $45 a visit we took James to her when he was 4wks old its under Merivale osteopathy in the yellow pages.
