    Have you been wearing him? My kids loved the natural rhythm of me wearing them and just doing what I needed to do, though I had to keep moving if they were unsettled like that! Maybe some music and a bit of a dance together? A bath sounds like a great idea, that usually worked for us too! I hope he settles for you soon though

    Could it be a blocked nose? I know when mine is blocked and I go outside, it clears and then blocks when I come back inside. You saying that he stops crying when you go out on the deck has made me wonder?

    Poor little man

    mmm he has a wet cough, i wondered if it was cos of the reflux or if it was a proper cough/cold thing. maybe he has a sore throat and the cold helps

    got through yesterday with wearing him lots, but i really need a better carrier. have had a dance, checked out the fishpond, time for a bath.
