OMG you guys can talk!! Typing one handed whilst feeding so no personals sorry - but have a question for Nic re: the comfy carry...

I have one of those too, and Euan hated it at first because I had him lying down in it, but then I tried him sitting up in it - so that his legs are sticking out the bottom and the bottom roll is just under his bum and the top roll tightened to support his head/neck- and he loves it!! He loves being upright and hates being carried lying down unless he's already asleep so maybe Olivia might be the same...? (Or you might already be doing that in which case ignore me)...

I'm back after a nappy change... Well, after a couple of good days we've had a fairly ordinary last couple of days. Munchkin was in such a strop all day yesterday - nothing was working to settle him for long. I think that he had wind pain but it was not really helped by IF and he wouldn't settle for longer than 15 - 20 minutes at any point in the day before screaming. Took three attempts to get him to go to sleep last night - finally got him down at 2:00am (after waking up for a monster poo at 12:30!!), then he was up again at 6:45, down at 8:00, then up again at 9:00, then down at 10:00, then up again at 11:00, and now has decided that he doesn't want any sleep. Poor DP looked buggered when he left for work - he had to catch a taxi because I was too knackered to drive him. He's been farting like you would not believe all morning and I think it kept waking him up.

Oh, and the face he makes when I give him IF - it is priceless. He screws his little face up and absolutely hates it. (Mean, mean mummy!!).

I now have him in his cot, looking wonderingly at his mobile. It's a great babysitter, but I should do something useful like make lunch because the distraction won't last forever!

Hope everyone has a day of happy smiley babies and well behaved children. (We can dream, can't we!).
