Dianna, ask Laura about the excema stuff she had. Clarrie gets a little dry skin around his eyebrows and ears and cheeks and I just put sorbolene cream on it as its not too bad. Also, we had been putting a pot of water on the fire to try to keep the air a little moister in the house. But haven't been doing this lately as we've had some rain (but not enough!!). And we all get these sorts of things happening! It's not a reflection on your mothering skills at all!!

Fingers crossed about the house!

Thanks for all your replies about leaving bubs with someone else. I think it is probably a little bit of 'first baby' paranoia. Anyway, we have avoided the issue for now as John is going to stay home.

So good to hear that Imogen had a good sleep last night. Clarrie, likewise. Lisa, hope Kobi is better soon.

The little man is awake now
cheers, Julie
