| Saturday 26 Sept 1998 12:35 PM Suzi just came
down and told me AJ did another Poo! She gets very excited about this Poo thing.
But this time she was looking more closely.
We suspect that AJ was being fed formula without our knowledge and drew some
conclusions.
Over the last few weeks (this week excluded) AJ has been very irritable at night - in
fact we've had more episodes of screaming and pain that ever before. This started
just after we were first told the babysitter across the road had fed him formula one day
and Suzanne explicitly told her not to.
From that first incident till last Friday - the last time AJ was in the babysitters
care, his Poos were greasy and not that nice Mustard colour with sweet smell. Suzi
thought it might have been the solids - as minimal as they were.
We e-mailed with Jo (mother of Sage) as she has to sadly feed her Sage with MB and
Formula, to describe the Poo variations. If Jo gives me permission I'll post her
email to the Web Site. Jo is as obsessed with Poos as my Suzi is!
Also for the last few weeks AJ has been very irritable with screaming fits for hours at
night and Throwing up. We knew he threw up formula but we truly believed we weren't
being cheated and our child wasn't being abused. Suzi called it "Reflux"
which has totally gone away this week and he no longer has 2 hours screaming fits all
night.
Since Sunday (20 Sept) he has been great. No crying fits, no "reflux"
and this week he has been a total angle. Happy, playful and babbling as much as he
did before we arrange the child minding deal.
You've seen TV shows like "The Babysitter from Hell" Well it's true.
Trust NO ONE with your CHILD. I'd have the most deepest of sympathy for
parents who have no choice but to use childcare services. You must have in your mind
all the time a fear that is indescribable. |
