It's a bit late but I just wanted to say thank you all for the advice. It seems as though DS has just been going through a 'mum' phase but it has gotten better. He will whimper when ever I leave the room but sometimes he just has to whimper (ie when nature calls).

[B]butterfly kisses[B] - I would love to join you on an outing some time. I didn't know that there were BB members in Darwin who met up. Please let me know when your next catching up. PM me if you like and I can give you my contact details.
