Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 > I crave chocolate and sugary stuff all the time, I have to be real careful because I get bad sugar highs and lows. I think I probably need magnesium, I guess 3/4 of the population needs magnesium. Liam is being so differcult at the moment, I am so tired of breastfeeding at night, only once or twice but I am had it!!! I guess the stress of lack of sleep and being a mother to a CF child also increases my Mg need. He is starting to refuse his dummy now and only wants he, its like hes acdicted to my breasts, imagine what he will be like when hes 16!! LOL. Any way I just wish he would sleep better, he will cry off and on for 2 hours at night before going to sleep. Hes one of those cyhildren that are so active during the day that he has no time ofr food or milk, he would rather play, I am sure he only eats enough to ease the hunger pang. Then at night when hes upset he will feed and when it is 3 or 4 in the morning cause its dark and quite. I guess its welcome to the world of parenting and being a mother. I sometimes feel like giving up breast feeding but I know its good for him so I wont. Children tend to go first when you become a parent dont they. I just need to have some time out. I want to go on a date with my hubby, go out for dinner drink somw wine and feel normal, does it ever end??? When will I be able to leave Liam with someone and WHEN WILL HE SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?? GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRR. BLA BLA sorry to go on I just needed to write this down and you guys happen to be the ones who will read it. mum to Liam 11 months wcf and Lily running around in heaven being a little girl and playing the day away with no CF anymore. I am happy she is not suffreing but so sad that I cannot hold her > > Date: 2003/07/19 Sat AM 11:31:16 GMT+12:00 > To: cfparents > Subject: Thank You Everyone RE: Re: MRSA questions > > , > > I'm glad to read a's check up went well.
