Deb - good to hear from you. You are such a trooper studying Danish and raising a little one! I too would love to hear where you are staying when you come to Oz.

Bel - I like Brooke have a very equal relationship with DH with raising Hendrix. He does work full-time (when he isnt touring) but works shift work and when he is home does all the cooking and does everything he can with Hendy. Mike like you has NO relationship whatsoever with his father so i think this is a major influencing factor. Have you spoken to your DH? Maybe he just isnt aware how much he is away.

Brooke and Angel (i think you asked) we gave hendrix pear as his first food and while it went down a treat he has not been a happy trooper since. In fact this morning he wouldnt sleep for 3 hours and screamed everytime he was put down (he has never ever done this before) so i think ill try food again in a couple of days and if we get the same reaction will hold of till 6 months.

Did any of you other guys who have given food found that their bubs got a tummy ache or wind or trouble pooing?? I know he is a sensitive little fellow but it was pretty terrible this morning i felt awful.
