Mads: I get all my shopping delivered from Greeengrocer.com.au they are great. It takes about 2 hours to set up your shopping list, but once you have it, you can just copy it each week and then add or delete a few things, so it only takes a few minutes.

Fee: I use a CD to help put Ally to sleep too - however it is NOT working right now... I'm not sure why Ally's weight dropped, however my Dr. said that newborn babies do not always reflect what they will be when they grow up. Ally was probably so heavy to begin with as I drank a litre of milk each day..he hee - good luck with no nipple sheild, my sister had to use one too, (her son is also Cooper) it took her about 6 months to feed without it too. But for number two she found she did not need it - so hopefully the same will happen for you. (maybe too early to think about that yet???)

hi Cassie
It hurt him at first and he a very red little bottom but now he has the hang of it and just pushes them out like an old pro!
.. OMG, that is the exact same as Ally...I've been wondering if it was the same for everyone?? I just pick it out of the nappy with a tissue and put it in the loo... Apprently poo in disposable nappies is really bad for landfill... Thanks for your welcome... I'm glad our first converstation together is about poo! Have a nice w/e away, apparently the ocean water temp. is getting warmer as it has been FREEZING... I took Ally to the beach on the Gold Coast as it was too cold for her (and me).

KMH: I hear you on the night feeding..Ally woke at 11.30, 2.30, 4.45 for feeds then was up at 6am... I think she too is just waking up out of habbit, but not sure I want to stop as I want her weight to increase a bit - I would like to cut out at least one though... My GF from Mothers Group is going to 'train' her baby to stop waking at night by putting ear plugs in and not attending to her... I wish I could do that, but it is just not me... This is number two for her though, so maybe when you know that it is for their own benefit and you have done it successfully before it helps???

RE: Baby food ideas? A GF recommended a book called "SuperFood" so I'm going to buy it on the weekend, I will let you know if it is any good.. Oh and for getting organised with little containers, she recommend these clear plastic tubs that have a re-usable lable on the front, apparently $9 for three tubs at Coles.
