Morning girls,

Another shocker of a night here but not as bad as the one before. He woke after 5 hours at 1am with a temp, gave him some panadol and fed him but he was so agitated. He finally went back to sleep at 4 but was awake again by 6. I'm taking him to the doctors a bit later. I know it's just his teeth but if he gets another temp today it will be his third day of it and he hasn't had a checkup since his 6 month needles anyway. But on the up side, the tooth is through!!! Still can't believe he cut a top one first. Has anyone elses bub's done this? I know it does happen but I've only ever known babies to cut the bottom two first. Will be interesting to see which one pops out next.

Jan - I'm about to give up on the baby panadol too. I tasted it last night and oh my god, that stuff is nasty! It never used to be like that. I think I will try the nurofen too.

Em - Happy Anniversary! Hope you had a lovely dinner. lol at the 3.8 kg of hair, that must be so cute!

Veronica - I'm still breastfeeding and hoping to get to around 18 months. I did want to go to 2 years but I have been rethinking that lately. A 2 year old can be quite a handful and I'm just worried about the clingy/comfort aspect of him still being breastfed then. I hope that doesn't sound harsh, I can't quite put into words what I mean! I love bfeeding and it has become such a huge part of me, I get a bit sad when I think about the day that I will no longer do it. As far as sleeping goes, Oliver is in bed by 7.30 and wakes at 4.30, except weekends when he sleeps in until 5.30 or 6. He is a very light sleeper and gets woken when DF's alarm goes off at 4.30 during the week. He then comes into bed with me, has a feed then back to sleep until around 7. He has been doing this since he was a few months old. Sometimes he does wake up and as he is demand fed I will give him a feed. If he is hungry he will drink and usually it's just a quick top up anyway. Foodwise he is having mashed, with small bits as well, finger foods - toast, crackers, soft fruit and cooked vegies. Hope Avaleighs cold doesn't give her too much grief!

Hello to everyone else, hope you all have a wonderful day!

Raels and Oliver. xo
