Oooh study buddies! I'll be one vicariously even if I haven't gone back to do my honours yet! I'm a great nag, just you wait and see

Thanks Julie, that has answered my Qs. I figured bub couldn't face outward, seeing as the support is on their legs to protect their spine. I actually love carrying Miles on my hip, so I'd be keen to try that option. Am itching to buy the sling, am working on DH at the moment.... Have you seen the kiddy hip carrier thingy, also from the same site (badbacks)? I'm very keen on that too! Oh the $$$$$$ *sigh*. The nappies were pricey, about $31 ea (depending on US exchange rate) then had to pay for o/s shipping etc. I love the idea of cloth, but haven't gone through with it (DH support would help )

Hope Clarrie's injection sites are healed up now, poor little tike! And thanks for the info, helps to explain why Miles had a complete melt-down twice yesterday (hysterical, couldn't console him).

OK must duck off and have a shower while Miles has his nap. BBL!
