Jules - we have a Close Baby Carrier. And two other slings, but that's our favourite. So easy to use and super comfy. We've even managed two feeds in there, and one was while I was hanging out the washing, I was amazed that she stayed attached!

Little Nellie has been a bit fretful today. Some friends had a Christmas party and we'd planned to go but decided not to push our luck. She's just been having a hard time settling and every now and then she gets really wriggly - arching and curling her back. Can't work out why - whether it's something I've eaten, or even that it's cold today and we've really struggled to dress her properly. Who knows?

We have a cot, but it's kind of a token gesture because we co-sleep. I tried putting her in it for a while last night, and lasted long enough for me to go to the loo, but it didn't feel right, I really struggled with it. So she's back to being on my shoulder, in the sling, or in bed with me.

Enormous poo this morning! In a brand new nappy! And it's raining massively, so the washing will take forever. Oh well.
