Fee - I've heard that some babies will not eat unless you let them feed themselves? Mabye strip Cooper to a nappy, put on some old clothes yourself get lots of towels ready and just pass the spoon with food on it over to him... hell, pass him the whole bowl if your game to get dirty. My cousin's baby was like this, would only eat if she fed herself! Thanks for the sleep routine, it is pretty similar to Ally's night, just during the day she wants to be BF to sleep... ahhh

Cassie: that is exactly like Ally, she makes this sound "mmmmmm" "mmmmmm" whenever I leave her - it is driving me mental. I can't leave the room, I need to be either feeding her or playing with her or she complains. I guess they are growing up and realising who we are and that we are seperate from them and they just want us near them???? Is this what they mean when they say "velcro baby?"...
