Hi all,

Caro - good luck with Michael - I hope that your little man gets better post feeding re the pain you mentioned in your post.

Hey Mel - good luck with the vaporisor - I did what Caro mentioned with the door open and on the other side of the room etc - the instructions on it are pretty clear, but for some reason I think that our old mid-renovation house doesn't have the right ventilation for it! LOL - hence the condensation....but hope it helps you anyway with Olivia. Apart from leaving stained walls from condensation it helped Ella a lot. I didn't have any probs with the baby balsam - I just checked my Ella diary and she was older than Olivia at the time ( 10 weeks) and the container does say "from 3 months" but my doc said that as long as there was no broken skin or existing skin irritation it would be fine. it's nowhere near as harsh as normal vicks. With Mimi's post -date peeling skin I wouldn't use it on her at the moment either. Obviously totally up to you - would hate for you to use it and have it hurt her skin! And looking back Ella was older than Olivia.... hope she starts to feel better soon. See how you feel re the party - it's such a personal thing re when to have the first separation moment. whatever works for you is the right decision I reckon...

Deb - I didn't realise you were in Copenhagen! Wow - that's one place I would love to visit. I have a danish friend Anja who lives in Kolding - not sure if that's near you or in Copenhagen or not? - I think so....she was just out here visiting a couple of months ago but unfortunately not in time for my late lady's arrival.

Krysalyss - So good Iggy was well behaved during your course - don't you love it when they do that!

JenSam - sooo good to hear from you babe! You and I are both May baby interlopers but so glad you are here too. Congratulations on Beau Jac - sorry that you are having some BF troubles - it can be such a trial. Ella took me 1.5 hours a feed in the beginning too just on the breast but Mimi seems to be much more efficient somehow. Good luck with it anyway and great to hear from you.

Hope that everyone has a good night with good sleep involved somewhere along the way
