Jules, I use the drops if you're worried about the spray being too invasive. The saline is probably the gentlest thing you could give him though - it's non-medicated so I feel okay using it. She doesn't like either the drops or the sucker much, but she forgives me once the boogers are out. I'm trying to be a bit preemptive about it now - if I at least give her drops before a feed she tends not to wake up yelling after it.
I did think of you today while I was out walking, knowing how far away you are from town. I was able to walk to the shops for Gloria Jeans and a new can of formula, so told myself to smarten up and stop feeling so sorry for myself. I guess when I moved out of the Eastern suburbs (I gradually moved further and further west, I'm now about a 40 minute drive away) my life started taking a different track to my old friends - they are still out at trendy bars and restaurants every other night, working stupid hours to afford it, and I'm hanging out with my baby girl baking banana cake and sewing a quilt. I wouldn't swap for the world!
Kaz that is interesting about the dreams. Mum always said she was way more relaxed with me than with my sister, perhaps you just feel more relaxed second time around?
Amelia refused to settle downstairs in the cool. I took her upstairs, where it is quite warm, and she settled right away. Go figure... she's in a singlet, nappy and light wrap with the fan on, and I keep checking on her... out for the count. Crazy baby.
