Nic - you poor thing. Jacob "go to sleep"
Lori - woohoo. I'm so celebrating for you.

we're using the squeezy packet raffertys stuff. must get some more. might try some of the other stuff seeing as bubs like it.

Last night crappy here, awake for around 2 hours from 2 am. I think it was teeth. wouldn't re-settle in cot, wouldn't re-settle in cot in our room, wouldn't re-settle in bed with us. finally did the panadol thing, which takes ages & winds her up because the little miss has figured out that she doesn't want the dummy when we put drops of panadol on it (only way to get it in otherwise she spits it straight out no matter what we do). ho hum...

Lauren, just a word on the dairy. It's worth being strict with it. It takes a whole month for it to be completely out of your system. scarey I know. But it will be worth it. And it's so worth checking the packets of everything: whey, milk powder, milk solids, etc, etc. even bread, biscuits... If you want ideas for non-dairy products, let me know. sweet william does a chocolate spread too. way yummy.

feeling very weird here as dh has taken dd out so I can get some work done for school. I'm missing her and nervous of what's going to happen. they're off to the ils, which I'm a bit nervous about, but they're not too bad. Just MIL looked after her one day for me, and after I'd done the 'feeding' thing, I came home to find more feeding had been done (forced?) & then I had ella unhappy about the high chair for a while. altho I looked like a bimbo going 'whatever, we'll give it a rest now' there was actually a master plan of not creating a food battle! Oh well, I have to let go of being a control freak & get on with my work.
