Lisy, if spinach fits then that's a good sign. I believe "normal" bfed poos are orange mustard, green sludge, spinach flecks or a combination of all. Any deviation from that may not be so normal. Currently we are in the orange mustard tinged with spinach flecks department. Although he had a big green sludge one today. All this poo talk must make you all hungry for dinner, eh?

Peanuts are a troublesome food. I hope it's not that, but then at least you'll know what it is if it is peanuts. Ci's poos smell like vinegar a lot. His breath smells like caramel or vanilla yoghurt - I must have some sweet milk!

I haven't taken babe to the movies yet, Sarah, but if I did, I'd take the sling so I could get up and settle easily (I just do the bouncy walk and he settles back down). I also don't own a pram, but I am going to get one after the in arms phase, about 6 months. DD can't wait cos she wants to take him for a little walk.

I bought a breast pump, a beauty. A medela electric/battery single. Works a treat, I got a little 20ml last night (had to take some milk out so Ci would feed, seems I still have a too strong let down for him) - and it didn't hurt. My other hand operated one hurt. I'm going to buy those cube trays for milk, that don't leach dioxins or other chemical carp. They hold 30 mls each little cube. I can't believe how hard breast milk bags are to find, and what they cost! almost a buck each.

Oh my word the stress here this afternoon was intense. DH was cranky at DD, DD was cranky at the world, I was cranky at both of them and Ci was just screaming in protest at all of us... yipes. It's settled now and DH just apologised and so did I and DD so it's all good but I tell you, there's something in the air at the moment!

Ok, I've rambled enough. See, I settle Ci here on the fit ball so I type for something to do while he falls asleep. Sorry for being so tedious. I should keep an online journal or something instead...
