Louise, Alex was five weeks prem and always had a tough time when he got sick. He was prone to chest infections and flu-ie type colds and things. I found that lots of baby Panadol and heaps of hugs were the only thing that helped. If I overfed him, he'd just chuck it up and that seemed to make the cold/flu/infection worse. Mind you, he had a huge growth spurt at about 6weeks, then again at 9 weeks, then again at 12 weeks, so it could be a growth spurt for Maria too. Just remember, you WILL get through the tough times, and make sure you have some time out just for you. Maria won't choke or get sick if you walk out for a five minute shower. Best wishes.

Jo, PMSL at Sammy being mistaken for a six month old. Our big boys eh!

Kirsty, you and Jo and I should make up a "porker" forum eh!

Shannon, "like hello..." means "like I'm so technophobic I wouldn't have a clue where to start..." I mean, we don't even have a digital camera over here, let alone the ability to download stuff onto internet... I've really got NO IDEA when it comes to this stuff!

Anyway, DH has Ned on the couch with a bottle whilst I have five minutes of me time before the boobies are AGAIN required.... I WANT SOME SLEEP... or at least six hours in a row... but I think it's gonna be some time before that happens in this house!
