Omg yes! And I was mid conversation with the consultant from the neonatal unit who’d been sent to brief us about what would happen with our baby. My midwife didn’t warn me
I was expecting something like a vitamin c IV not a feeling like I’d just taken 10 shots of vodka and a tan of acidHi! Last night was a tit show he was sick bless him when I say he’s sick I mean loads it comes out like projectile so he was up till 1:30 then woke at 3:30,4:30,5:30 but he’s been getting better apart from that.. just don’t get why he has started being sick again I haven’t changed anything.. doesn’t seem to phase him though he smiles away after it it’s just horrible to see
Are you still using the Carobel xxHi!

Sounds like he could maybe do with some omeprazole to help with the reflux not just carobelHi!

the abs I think are long gone! Bub was 9lb 8 in the end and tbh I didn’t even look big! Then he came out and I’m left with what can only he described as a deflated Aldi bag
I cried in front of the mirror but do you know what he’s here and he’s safe! It was nice while it lasted 
Skip your HV she sounds about as useful as a chocolate tea pot, speak with a GP and don't leave until they give you some
Thank you so much for asking, it turns out it's tomorrow!!!
I really must learn to read letters better. I didnt sleep a wink last night I was so nervous, turn up at the hospital and they looked very confused, said I wasn't on the list, showed them my letter and yep it's clearly dated for tomorrow. 
Oh @Nayalove96 i remember you from the pregnancy threads in the summerthe abs I think are long gone! Bub was 9lb 8 in the end and tbh I didn’t even look big! Then he came out and I’m left with what can only he described as a deflated Aldi bag
glad your little ones here! I’m sure you’ll get the abs back in time X@Chrisxo don’t be surprised if you have to fight a bit they are obsessed with giving gaviscon first. It did help us a bit but omeprazole was a game changer. It clears all the gut acid, and we need a bit so it’s not ideal but try telling a mum with an acid reflux baby that
she’ll always take the omeprazoleAnother vote for omeprazole. Once we were finally on the right dosage it literally changed our lives. If they make you try gaviscon for a few days but make sure you call back and say it's not working and you want the good stuff!@Chrisxo don’t be surprised if you have to fight a bit they are obsessed with giving gaviscon first.

Yes another vote for omeprazole here. Helps massively. Also recently got infacol on prescription which seems to be helping as anything that helps you get excess wind out helps with reflux, the gas makes it worse so make sure you get all the wind out of them. And his chair, keeping him upright/head higher than bum for 20 mins after feeds helps too.

Just be careful with infacol, it contains citric acid which can aggravate reflux more.
Oh really? We just got prescribed at the weekend by the out of hours GP rather than specialist/neonatal so maybe they didn’t know that. They suggested it as we said we spend what feels like hours winding himJust be careful with infacol, it contains citric acid which can aggravate reflux more.
For excess wind try dentinox drops or colief you can get that on prescription too
he doesn’t seem worse so far and is certainly burping more, but I’ll keep an eye on it thank youThere's little evidence behind infacol, I will try and find the data about it.Oh really?

I think as long as you’re not planning on leaving your baby alone with the dog then there isn’t really anything to worry about.
Honestly there isn't an easy answer. The hard reality is you just have to stand your ground and say no. Dogs weren't welcome before, they aren't now, even more so since having a young child. It is your home. You don't have to justify anything and your parents shouldn't feel they have any say over what you do or don't do within your own walls. The fact they think they do, especially when the dog is clearly unstable around children is a unfortunately a red flag that they are likely to behave like this with other matters further down the line. It's an awful situation and one many of us here have been in (and still are tbh), but it really is better to be firm in your boundaries from the beginning so they know what to expect and frankly, don't bully you and take the piss. At first it is really hard, but you do get used to NO eventually and they stop reacting so badly everytime when they realise it's going to keep happening.
Your house, your baby, your rules, parents or not. Surely they should want to enjoy their first meetings with their grandson without worrying about controlling the dog?
