Hi ladies,
Well according to gp, that's the problem with croup- sometimes it can make babies stop breathing in their sleep, even when they're not coughing or distressed. I got a lecture for not calling an ambulance, which is obviously what I should have done. Feel like such an idiot and a bad mummy!!! But I am just so sleep deprived and he seemed ok and I just went back to sleep... (so I did go back to sleep fater that Tinsel.... baaaaad mummy). Gp said to give two more days of steroids, and keep co-sleeping so we can keep an eye on him. he was ok last night- his cough seems to have broken up a bit, so that's a good sign.

Lauren and Nic- Yep we have the nappy change problem too... I've actually started putting Ty's nappies on backwards if it's too much of a struggle. They say to do that when they are toddlers so they can't pull them off themselves, but it's working really well for us now!! Not sure how it would work with cloth. Just think... a few more kilos and we can go pull-ups!

Tinsel- The huggies swim nappies are a bit spensive. i bought an Imse Vimse one off Ebay for $18 and it's really good.
