Sonya - sorry to hear your visit didn't go well. Don't worry too much about what the MCHN said, when we visited a couple of weeks ago Owen was only 5.5kgs, when I look at some of the other babies in my mums group I think he is the skinniest by far. His length was 59cms, we keep being told he's long and lean, DH and I don't know where he's got either from, lol. I'm with Soph on the rolling, he'll roll in his own time, the MCHN's just look at averages, some take longer than others. I have a nephew who's almost 2 and not yet talking, just pointing, his parents aren't worried just say he'll talk when he's ready. Also your MCHN can make you feel bad depending on who they are.

Runner - hope you're recovering well

Orange - you're very organised with the work stuff, nothing like getting in early

Well, today has been a mixed bag for us today, thought we were doing well with the sleeping, Owen settled himself off to sleep all day today but when it came to tonight he just wouldn't go down. The way he usually settles didn't work, so picked him up and rocked him which I haven't done in ages but didn't work well. Then in desperation I breastfed him really quickly, re wrapped him and bang he was asleep. Just when you think things are sorted they throw a curve ball your way!!

Gave him a massage just before he went to bed which I've done many times before, but wondered whether that stimulated him too much with the eye contact etc., who knows..........
