Hi

This forum is so good for just not feeling alone with things!! Thanks everyone for sharing the same problems with the MIL and others about bringing up our babies.

With the car seat, I noticed in the babylove book that it says 9kg or 70cm long. Ella really seems too big for her car seat, she is about 67cm, and 7.5kg, so I am planning on turning the car seat around at the beginning of March, when she is 7 months, she will be about 68-69cm then I think. Her feet were touching the seat in front of her so we took the insert out of the car seat (which it says on the tag MUST be used for rearward facing) so now she is lower and further back in the seat which is helping a bit.

I have a friend who's baby is just 8kg and she turned him around a month ago (only 5 days older than Ella) but I am just too scared that it isn't right yet.

Eleanor slept so well last night - went to bed at 6pm and woke at 3.30am for a feed and then 6.30am. I think I feel groggy because I got so much extra sleep.
Mind you I didn't go to bed early as I watched cashmere mafia, which I really enjoyed, especially after I watched the end of underbelly which I won't watch again as it is too violent and to know it is based on a true story.... can't get the ending out of my head.

Hope everyone is having a great week.
