Squidipa - my lot could be quiet, playing outside. whatever, but as soon as I'm on the phone, they play up, make noise, fight - it's like they have a radar for the phone!!
Hope your appt goes well tomorrow And yeah, it was me talking about the antibiotics ... I think they tend to be a bit harsh on baby's stomachs, but if they're helping you, surely they'd be helping bubs too!

I tell ya, it just breaks my heart to hear the pain in Veygas's cries - he's finding it hard to shift wind at the moment (either end!), so really struggles which gets him upset. The doctor who we have to see didn't have any available appts at westmead til the end of october, so we have to go through his private practice at wahroonga ... I didn't want Veygas to have to wait 8 weeks to have this seen to!

Sasha - i'm lucky if the nappies even make it out of the box these days!!! I think with your first, you're so organised etc, for me, it's easier to just chuck the ox or packet into their rooms and deal with it that way ... I have my change table in the room, but it ends up being used for everything BUT changing!! LOL!

Kel, with the dummy, I just hold it in his mouth til he starts sucking - I don't use it that much cause he doesn't like it, but sometimes it's absolutely necessary (like when you're halfway through the shopping with a just about full trolley and you can't stop to feed and all you want to do is get the shopping finished and get home!) (or when you really need to eat dinner cause you're absolutely starving and about to pass out from hunger!)
