Re: Isaac Update - day 12 in FAB

[Guest guest]

I am glad to hear that things are going more smoothly.

For the dry skin/bleeding issue, with things like this, I always use Lansinoh

which is actually marketed for breastfeeding moms for skin breaking and

bleeding issues. This works great for us and provides great protection. It is

also great for diaper rash in general. It can be purchased at most drug stores

and Walmart and is usually about $7-8 a tube however one tube lasts a long

time.

getting back into routine here. He is still a

little irritable, and wanting to be entertained more, but that also

could be his age(7 months yesterday). He slept an entire night,

deep sleep, no restlessness or stirring at all for 12 hours night

before last. Still in our bed(we were already cosleeping, but had

started to start the night off in the packnplay), but I think we are

on the road to starting to be able to work on that. He is also back

to not nursing at night again. Yeah!

Just in time for a new round of colds and virus to get here. So

restless sleep and crying last night, BUT due to illness NOT FAB.

Never would I have thought I would be glad to lose sleep over a cold

and low fever, lol.

Now, onto my new question.

It seems like overnight, he has grown. His normal foot, I had to

move up a hole. I had to move his clubfoot up a hole also. His

foot is actually down in the heel even more than it was...is it just

a growth spurt(shoe fitting better) or is the heel coming

down/stretching more maybe or both? Anything to be concerned over.

I mean this literally happened in 12 hours. That long stretch of

sleep he got. :-)

His red spots that were on his heels have almost disappeared now.

Oh, and he is standing up holding onto my fingertips now every

chance he gets(in shoes and out)!! And he has really great balance.

He is also loving pushing off the ground, and jumping. Wecounted

up, and he was in casts like 18 out of his around 28 wks of life so

far, so he is enjoying himself.

Oh, another question..when he came out of his last cast, he skin was

extremely dry. I have been putting Aveeno on it during diaper

changes, but he has stratched it a lot. He bled all over his socks

and shoes the other day. That stopped my heart. Anything else to

try other trimming nails(done), and lotion to help the skin heal

faster and not be so itchy??
