    oh that's great kellyd! what a good idea the modelling thing i mean, not bludgeoning the Dh lol. But my dh's solution to ash's crying is "i think he's hungry" lol. Such a male, all problems solved with food or boobs... so what more could a baby boy want but the combo deal! So hugs to you love and do try to remember not to be too cross at DH, he doesn't get as much time with her as you and needs to learn.. he won't do the timed feeding again i bet Ash was screaming the other day and i actually jsut walked away and said to dh as he was trying to settle bub "trust your instincts, you are doing great''. that was very hard to just let DH deal with it but otherwise we're making a rod for our backs if i'm the only one who can settle him.

    ash is hhhmmm he is, ummm, having troulbe nodding off through too much oohhing, aaaahhhiing,gooooing and garring at himself. followed by a small chuckle at how smart he is lol. as a result after 20 mins of that he's soooo tired he starts to cry lol. probably shouldn't laugh but OMG they take themselves so seriously that someone HAS to laugh.

    but BW my first thought re your neighbour dilema is 3am, work night, back fence, screaming child. ooh no better, 6am saturday when they are trying to sleep off friday night.

    Have you thought about contacting their real estate agent to complain or getting all the other nieghbours to gang up?

    gotta run. bb later tomorrow for some chat.

    hi smithy, neptune, murph, lenny, janie, marcellus, saph and all the girlies here ox

    I finally figured out how to put a pic on my signature

    Kelly great job on the modeling front for your little one, good way for her to pay for her own nappies hope it works out well.

    Well I guess Linc is definatly sensitive to cows milk protien too. Last night was back to how he was prior to the soy formula and would only settle on me. I'm so tired. So back onto the soy formula even if the GP suggested lactose free, "not working"

    Sugar water seams to be working thank goodness. Bit vague today but really wanted to share my little pic of Linc. So proud of myself for figuring it out.

    Have a great day all

    Well done on figuring out the pic Green! He's a cutey. for your mum too

    at your neighbours smithy. they sound horrid.

    I hate that thump thump loud music too. Thankfully we have nice (quiet) neighbours

    Our house is a complete shambles - having kitchen rennovated. Can't wait to clean up and put everything back where it's supposed to be. A is having a great time helping his grandad with the work (he has his own tools)

    Hi everyone else! Hope your'e keeping well

    Green, just quickly... sounds like it's a cows milk protein intolerance rather than a lactose issue.

    Friend's bub had the same issue - for one child goats milk formula was ok, but the next was intolerant to the proteins in that one as well and he had to go onto neocate - an elemental formula only available on prescription. If you're worried about soy (and I would be, but that's me!) then neocate could be the best option.

    Must dash!

    I am in disbelief!!! DS has gone for a nap and has stayed asleep now for 45 minutes!!! I don't know what to do with myself. I keep on going in and checking on him LOL! I lay down with him on the bed and he had a good feed and fell asleep. So for the first time I didn't stay lying beside him but got up and he stayed asleep!!!!! We will get there eventually!!!

    Hi Girls

    BW: Yucky, I didn't have to take Metaform but there is nothing worse than taking meds that react badly with you.

    Poppy: Yay for your little man, hopefully he can have some more big sleeps for you now.

    Smithy: for Charlie and sleeping longer as well. I found once Tara was in her own room she slept better. I think it is because when she was in our room I woke up everytime she made a noise but since being in her own room when she wakes during her sleep cycles I don't hear anything and she then goes back to sleep.

    Grub: Only one more pre arranged Mothers Group for us then we are on our own. I'm hoping the concensus is not 10am in the morning like it is now, it really mucks us up as Tara usually has her breakfast around that time and I have to take it all with me.

    AFU: Well we are having our unsettled week this week. Night time sleeps are no problem but during the day..... I put her in bed when she is tired and she is now fighting going to sleep, we are having something like half hour screaming matches before she will consisder going to sleep and then she will wake herself up and we start all over again. Although yesterday I went to the hairdresser and for the almost 2 hours we were there she was fine, smiling and laughing at everyone and was more than happy to be held by anyone. So in public she is fine, it is just when she is at home. As I mentioned off to the hairdressers for me finally, the grey's were coming through to obvious and decided to go the chop as well. My hair was fairly long, and I was so sick of all the hair everywhere (i'm still malting) I decided to get it cut up to collar length. Should be much easier to do in the morning now and as my hair grows so fast anyway it will be long again before I know it. Oh, has anyone else been suffering from exhaustion lately (not the sleep deprived variety)?? I've been going to bed around 9.30 at night and crashing (sometimes I don't even hear Tara at night and DH gets up to check on her) and when I wake in the morning I'm still so tired. This has been for the past week to 2 weeks, maybe it is everything catching up on me now.

    Kelly- I hope the unsettled week is over soon for you! Is it a Wonder Week?

    Smithy - well done on the sleeping!

    BW- Metformin Yuck!!!! I was on it for a month or so for my PCOS. It did nothing for the PCOS but I remember the side effects!!! Awful!!!

    Murph - hope the move is going well!

    AFM - DS slept for an hour on that nap! There are celebrations in our house tonight!!!

    Well... not doing too badly. Just one nasty attack this morning, but if you'll excuse the TMI, it has cleared up the nasty issues I was having with constipation so I actually feel a lot better for it now. Just a bit - I should not post under the influence of sedating drugs! Don't worry - they're all on prescription.

    Poppy: More than likely her Wonder Week. She was due for one at 20 weeks on EDD which would make her 21 1/2 weeks the correct time. Only took me 45 minutes to get her to go down for her morning nap, and she has only woken once screaming. I'm also going to try spacing out her food for her for the next few days, instead of doing the normal 3 feeds as she has gone off her food as well (typical wonder week sign) but I don't want her to decrease her fluid intake.

    OMG, I also can't believe that Tara is 5 months old today. I tell you girls time has flown by so fast. It is hard to believe that she has been with us for that long...
