Hi Ladies, I popped in once or twice after having Rossi and then just seemed to get too busy to regularly pop back in. I've got Rossi on a schedule now (Contented Little Baby, Gina Ford), and at least now I know when I'll be feeding, sleeping, wiping my bum

Juniper, good to see that you popped your head in, I hope you're doing well.

Sorry ladies, but can you explain the earlier post about Barney? Left us?

My little bundle is just over 3mths and 7kg so I think he's getting enough milk but I'd like your opinions...... Rossi tends to feed only for a maximum of 10minutes on each side so I worry he's not getting the hind milk. In the last fortnight he's also decided that he doesn't like the right side maybe 75% of the time and cries and back arches the whole time. I end up expressing from that side so I'm not walking around lopsided! He's a cloth bummed baby so I'm constantly folding more nappies so I KNOW he's peeing up a storm every day. The other new thing is that he's only doing #2's every maybe 4 days, when he used to dirty 2-3 nappies a day. Each night when I massage him I make sure to concentrate on his belly and I'm cycling his legs. He last went on about Thurs or Fri last week, and prior to then he went on the Monday.

The other thing is that he's forgotten how to use a bottle I went a month without giving him one and now I can't get him to take one.

Everything all at once!! Why?! Any ideas ladies? Do u think I should try some diluted juice? I can get him to have only a couple Mls using a medicine spoon, wonder if that would be enough to get his bowels moving? That's if he even is constipated, as I've read that some babies can go a week at a time....(seems odd to me!)

Okay, I promise to spend more time in here and try to sort out who's who in the zoo!

Lise, can't believe Finn is 8mths already?!!!! It seems like just yesterday you were in the preg thread and we were all waiting with baited breath for your BA! good luck with your frostie!!

Chrissy.

The good news is that with this new routine he's pretty much sleeping from the dream feed thru to about 5am so we're a bit closer to sleeping through.
