Hi all

Lol sara at being the perfect mummy You can be the one that does everything from scratch that the rest of the mums are jealous of.
Great to hear that katelyn slept the yuckyness away. Maybe she will get a taste for sleeping 10 hours and keep doing it for you. What a nice doc you must have too. I'm sure the cake will be fine, how long until the baptism now? was it just a liquid that they put down her throat. If so it would have been for polio, I think it's called sabin, but I was told that had been included in a multi vaccine now. Maybe it depends where you go.

Fran, yay on the weight gain. I'm not sure if breast feeding really comes easy to anyone, it something that both you and bubs have to learn. It may sound like we are having an easy time, but I think it's 'cause Xavier is good at it not me. If he wasn't such a little piggy that will give anything nipple shaped a suck then we might have been buggered.

Veronica I've had a day or two like this and I just keep persevering. Every time without fail our problem has been that he is so very tired (possibly from growth spurts) that he needs to sleep but refuses to and because he isn't sleeping he thinks he's more hungry. Like if I was really tired I tend to eat more to make up for the loss in energy. Yet when he does go to eat it's a couple of sucks and then fussy boy is back, because his tummy says his full, iykwim. On those days if I can feed him enough to be calm, change him, and then whack him in the HAB, and rock him to sleep. I wear him for a while and he can usually get a decent 2-3hours. wakes up because he is actually hungry and feeds properly.
It has taken up to 2 days of doing this for him to calm down on occasion.

Nicki, hi good to hear things are improving. Has Lach had his imunisations yet? I'm thinking of going to the one at the lake next monday, he's 8 weeks this friday so I want to get these out of the way quick smart.
