    You could also try getting your smell into his blankets. Just carry it around with you and put it down with him when it is nap time. He may think that you are still there with him. You could put one of your jumpers or tops etc in there with him instead. I know what you mean about it being draining. Hope it settles down for you soon. Make the most of your cuddles. I rarely get them now unless he is completely zonked or I am feeding him!!! There are just way too many other things to see and do!

    hun totally off the train of thought you are having but is it possible to put him on your back in the MT? I was wearing Ash on my back in the MT from about 3 months, maybe a little earlier. Just bunch the bit up between his legs a little more ... or get a wrap. That was a massive life saver for me when I had to hang washing out or whatever when my MT was on loan!

    I have just in past week put his legs out of the carriers as he seems to prefere that rather than froggy now. It does need scrunching and I was worried about the leg circulation but seems fine. I thought I needed to wait till 6 mths for back carry but I guess I could give it a try. Thanks.

    oh no darl some people wear their babies on their back from birth! Such a helpful thing when you have washing to fold, dishes to do or other kids to grab
    I practiced on the bed for a while, that way if he slipped the mattress was all he hit (never happened though). Also the superman toss, up and over the shoulder, was the easiest
