He also has very bad dry skin around his mouth, which isn't normal for him.

Any ideas what it could be? The weather?

Maybe kind of acidic. Anyway, before the last change she just started crying, really really crying & when I picked her up she was holding onto me so tightly and crying out. I knew something was wrong. So I checked her nappy and she had done another one. But the poor little things bottom was so red! It was very sore. So ive covered it in bepanthen and she is happy now. So in the space of around 1hr between poos, this last one has really burnt her bottom very quickly. This has happened a couple of times before over the last month. I thought it might be an allergy but I cant pinpoint any different foods that's she's eaten. Its odd because the consistency isn't really diarrhea, but seems to have watery and solid formed parts to it. Has anyone else's bubs experienced this?

I'm starting to think my 11yr old DS may be suffering anxiety.

He seems to develop tummy aches right before we need to go somewhere, struggles to speak to people he doesn't know really well, won't talk on the phone unless its someone he speaks to often etc.
tonight I was taking him to scouts, he was fine until we got there then said his stomach hurt. I told him he would be fine and watched him walk inside. About 20minutes later the scout leader called to say he was refusing to come inside, complaining of a stomach ache and just generally distressed.
I went back and he got upset saying that 'something' was stopping him from going in and that he 'just couldn't do it. He wasn't in uniform tonight as its packed away while we renovate and he got upset again saying he couldn't go in there without full uniform even though the leaders knew and reassured him it wasn't a problem etc.

Just doing a bit of reading and social anxiety seems to explain a lot of his behaviors (he also has ADHD) but thought I'd see if anyone else out there has been through anything similar.

(If you already know me/my story, you know that my dd has a serious heart condition but I don't think that's the problem, it's monitored closely).
Anyway, recently the paed thought she has cmpi but she didn't have a lot of symptoms. Still doesn't. She had some blood in her stools after some bad constipation.
She is starting to have more frequent screaming fits. Shes had four in the last few days. They are very distressing because she gets so distraught her heart rate increases and her oxygen drops and she goes a bit blue. Not nice.
That aside I burp her, sometimes she has wind, sometimes she farts. The screaming is not consistent wuth times or in conjunction with food. She's on zantac for reflux and coloxyl for constipation. She's on regular formula now not prescription which she was. She genuinely seems in some kind of pain but I don't know what it is.
Could it still be cmpi even though she really had no symptoms? I think this is what the paed will say...she hates the prescription formula.
Could teething cause this much pain? Its s high pitched scream that lasts ten minutes, sometimes more or less. I gave her nurofen tonight because im at a loss. Im keeping a diary to detail to her doctors.

The only times he's lost is when he was 3-4 months old and when he had his appendix out in 2011 (he stopped eating for 4 days).

We weighed him a few months ago and he was 26.something so we thought he was finally starting to put on some bulk. Last night Ds was wondering around without a shirt on and DH commented on just how skinny he is so put him on the scales. 24.5kg....he's lost about 2kg.

He's eating a decent size meal finally. That took a lot to get him to move from toddler size meals but he's actually eating the typical amount for a 9 year old now. I don't know what I can give him to help him gain weight. We're making the change to a vegan diet so Sustagen and other whey based things aren't an option.

DS is 6 years old. He's lost just about all of his baby teeth and his adult molars are coming up at the very back.
In a nutshell ,back in February this year, he lost his top middle front tooth and the little one right next to it at the same time. His adult top front tooth started coming down within a few days and occupied both vacant spots. I noticed that this tooth is really wide and the gap between the 2 front teeth is huge.
I also noticed that the tooth next to it, has not come down as yet.

So I took him to the dentist for a check up, and they took xrays.

Basically, yes the gap between to the two top teeth is way to wide, the tooth that has not yet come down, is in the gum and ready, it's just stuck as there is no room for it to come down due the wide gap and the size of the front tooth.

So noooooow, the dentist has referred us to an Ortho for the possibility of braces :eek: to pull the front two teeth together to allow the other adult teeth to come down out of the gum.

His xray also showed the remaining 3 adult teeth in the lower gums, ready for when those final baby teeth fall out.

I had the same problem with my teeth when I was young, but I didn't get braces until I was 13.

I personally think that having them at 6 years old is a bit extreme.
And I don't have private health insurance so I don't think I could afford to pay for them anyway.

Sorry for the long post, and I hope it makes sense, but I'm just after some thoughts and opinions on this sort of dental procedure for such a young child.

I have also been looking at the Greenslopes Peads in a Pod clinic and ive made an appointment there with Dr Tommy Tran. I'm not sure who to go with. Can you help with any recommendations? ]]> General Child Health Issues Hopefully Waiting http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?494094-Paed-reccommendations partner who smokes http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?494077-partner-who-smokes&goto=newpost Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:44:18 GMT Hi, Wondering if im over-reacting or being reasonable.

Wondering if im over-reacting or being reasonable. My partner smokes in the study. He doesnt smoke in the rest of the house as im a non-smoker and i dont want a smoky house - tthese rules were in place before bubs came along. Now that we have a baby and im aware of the sids risk i just cant stop worrying about it. My partner always closes the door. I said the other day i could smell it in the corridor and spoke to him about my concerns suggeating he only smoke outside. He doesnt think its an issue and instead of smoking outside he rolls up a towel and puts it by the bottom of the door. Mostly i dont smell the smoke. However, the baby's room is right next to the study. Currently baby is in our bedroom which is further away from the study. Am i being silly about having the baby in the room next door to where partner smokes? Like i said i hardly ever smell the smoke but it still worrys me. Partner has looked at sids website and is not concerned because he closes the door (and now puts towel at foot odoor). It still makes me uneasy as im thimking baby will have to transition to the new room soon and potentially smoke could still be in the air from him smoking in the next room. ]]> General Child Health Issues BubbaMummy http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?494077-partner-who-smokes Red line in groin area - boys issue http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?494052-Red-line-in-groin-area-boys-issue&goto=newpost Tue, 23 Apr 2013 10:51:56 GMT My 19mth DS has recently been telling me 'bum sore' and every time I change his nappy, he will grab his genitals.

He also tries to scratch his anus (sorry tmi) and also the red line between his anus and scrotum. It appears to be a bit more raised now, but could just be more noticeable due to his behaviour.

I know the actual line is normal, but should it be causing him issues? Is it normal to be occasionally itchy, or should I go to a doctor?

He seems otherwise fine, but tonight his Dad did put Sudocream on it as he apparently noticed it was red (he texted). ]]> General Child Health Issues Pesca77 http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?494052-Red-line-in-groin-area-boys-issue What is this http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?494048-What-is-this&goto=newpost Tue, 23 Apr 2013 09:50:01 GMT Hi everyone
