hi all,

Sara, glad to hear of colby's sleeping. we had a good day yesterday too. This morning he went back to bed at 6 for me and slept till 9am, so far so good.

Kristen, on the doc saying you wouldn't be very good. Vaccinations will be fine, you will wonder what you worried about. what a tall lil girl you must have. I think she's bigger than Xave is. have you tried tickling her cheek to get her to turn her head herself. apparently babies turn their head towards where they think the food is and touching her cheek with your finger might get a response.

Neuri, 3 needles, one in one leg and 2 in the other. The person who did Xave was very quick. I've never heard of any numbing stuff, is it for babies?
If your not happy with your MCHN please contact your local council and make them aware. They all have different methods but they also have a certain things they need to check. My mum is head of childrens services in my area and says that if parents don't contact them and tell them about problems they can't fix them. They may be able to offer you a transfer to another nurse, and you shouldn't have to speak to your current nurse again if you don't want to.

As I said above, Xavier seems to be getting better at sleeping during the day. For the first time (I think) he wasn't completely grumpy when daddy came home. We even managed to eat our tea without a screaming baby. I ended up having to settle him with a dummy to get to sleep, but i snuck in about 20 mins later, it was no longer in his mouth so I just removed it so it didn't wake him up. He slept for 9.5 hours yay. I did hear him stir at around 3.30 and 4.30 but ignored him and he went back to sleep, so he seems to be able to self settle when need be. I fed him at 5.30 and changed and put him back to bed. he then slept from 6am till 9am. Right now lying happily on the loungeroom floor.

So far so good today.
