Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 Oh dear, what a sad baby I had yesterday! He was DESPERATELY thirsty in the late afternoon, but wouldn't have water. I tried dilute OJ, with a bit of demerara sugar solution added (my stepmother's tip on hearing that I didn't have any glucose in the house) but he wouldn't have that either. I had to breastfeed him in the end, but I won't be able to do that for ever! Someone here suggested prune juice, but I'm a bit reluctant for obvious reasons.... my stepmother said she'd never known a baby not take glucose solution (v. dilute before everyone gets mad at me); a good friend (doctor and mother of four under seven) suggested 'bena (and pointed out that if it's too dilute it's just nasty - make it so I would be happy to drink it was her advice) and keep on trying him with water twice a day. Any more hints? It's been in the mid-seventies this week where we're going on holiday, so I'm a bit worried. Tim was also sick yesterday early pm (and that's a first!!!) and I think it was all the heat. Poor sad little bunny. BTW, thanks Sam, should have emailed ages ago, the containers arrived very promptly! I've just packed Tim's food box for next week (Daddy will probably throw a wobbly - I've got one box for food, one for utensils and then there'll be the steriliser) and I'm counting knickers (v. important, this ritual - just before we left for Oz for 4 weeks I discovered DH only had 7 pairs!). Question for Big Mama - would I be allowed to attach a .jpg or .mpg to an egroup message? Pre-holiday Anneliese and Little Baby Tim whose Sainsbury's fan club acquired two new members yesterday - oh, he loves shopping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
