SG - thanks! I would just tell people that he's one of the fairy children and is perfect just the way he is!
I discovered today that Liam is beginning to conciously direct his hands. I put a toy near him today during play time and he kept swiping at it with his hand. I moved it and he moved his motions to follow where it went! I also noticed that when he's tired and before I've wrapped him, he's beginning to play with his hair! How cute!

hi Sharon,
BJ went into his cot, in his own room from day one, which is good cause (although he would still fit in a bassinette!) it would be awful adding a bed transfer to the mix with things the way they are!
We have put BJ on formula as a test for 3 days in case my milk is mucking him up...will be a waste if it is my milk, I have about 7 litres of EBM in the freezer!!!

Caleb too has been in his cot from day 1. It was DH idea and i was reluctant, but happy he organized it. One of the main reasons i was resistant was his cot was full of so many stuffed toys and his pretty (but useless) cot set i didn't know what to do with it all.

DH and I decided together (years ago) that when we have kids we would have them in their own room and own bed.
DH is a very light sleeper and since he has to go to work each day, DS is in a room down the other end of the house, next to the spare room (which is where I go and sit for 5 minutes at a time between calming BJ down!)
Cant wait to see the paed, role on tuesday so I can book in!

A friend looked after our two for 2 hours so we could have anniversary dinner last night and Greer slept from 8.30ish to 2.20am - although I didn't get the 6 hours sleep it was great to know that she slept for 6 hours and then she woke at just before 6am.
I'm getting ready to make the cot transition shortly, more so that Greer learns that is where she sleeps as opposed to daytime bassinet night time in the double bed with me in the nursery - laziness is the main reason for not having done it sooner. By having her in bed with me feeding interuptions are quicker and less need for me to fully wake.
She has just awoken so got to go.
Hey Everyone! Been a few days since I came in. Well Ava-Jayde has a middle ear infection at the moment which sucks cause she's so sad and sooky absolutely breaks my heart. Thursday afternoon I knew something was wrong with her she was so clingy and just wouldn't sleep even after having both boobs and 2 bottles she just cried and cried. So I take her to the doctor and the receptionist behind the counter who was no older than 17 tells me there's nothing wrong with her and to just take her home and give her panadol. I tell her that her temperature is up a little bit more than it usually is and that there is definately something wrong with her. SO she rolls her eyes at me and says "fine i'll get the nurse to check her". So then the nurse comes along, takes her temperature and says "oh it's only 37.3 she's happy just take her home, she'll be fine" it took me ages to CONVINCE them to let me see a doctor!! Then I finally get in to see the doctor and what do you know mum was right, she has a middle ear infection! Idiots.. Then the doctor is so completely rude to dp saying "give the child to her mother SHE knows how to hold her" bah! anyhoo that's my rant

BabyWrangler Oliver has been in his own room since we came home, just not in his cot, I knew he wouldn't spend much time in his bassinette, but just feel that when they first come home it is less of a shock if they are in a nice small space for sleeping. It would be a damn shame if it was your milk that was mucking BJ around, hope you can get into the Paediatrician nice and quickly. Has he been tested to see if he has a UTI?
alittlegrubi I think when you first come home the easy options are always the best options.
kirsty_lee a mother always knows best. I can't believe that you had a problem getting in to see Dr, I mean, isn't it YOUR choice/decision to do so, and I think it is none of the receptionists business as to what you want to see the Dr for either, as for the Dr, all I can say is "RUDE"
Had a nice day today up at the FIL (1.5 hour drive) Oliver behaved himself superbly all day. I am off to see 'Sex and the City' tomorrow, and i'm excited.
