Hi Ya,

how are we all, long time no post, but who has time.

I have only rustled up some time today because xavier is sick and I had to take time off work.

Campari have you been bitten? we are up to our 3rd tooth, and xavier bites if i offer a feed and he's not actually hungry, like he wants to suck but the milk is coming out so he bites down to stop it. It hurts. Needless to say I am cautious about feeding him if he's not ready now. It does sound like you are going through exactly what we are, I feel for you, no sugestions here, i've tried everything I can think of, just empathy from me.
Don't feel bad about the dummy, at the end of the day, you can't function with no sleep. Maybe try fazing it out for day time sleeps, at a time when your better equiped to deal with screaming/patting shhhing etc etc.

Well my monster just woke up, I'll try and come back a bit sooner next time.

Bye
