Emma - of course a night like that happens when partners aren't around. I've only had one night like that so far and DF was at a neighbour's house having a lovely time at a bonfire. He didn't seem to understand how upset I was getting but he certainly did when he arrived home. It's just so upsetting when they wont settle isn't it? Trouble is if you cry it makes them worse, but you just can't help yourself. It's a catch 22.

Brock skipped a feed last night. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First time ever. He was a bit unsettled (not crying though) and just wouldn't sleep after his 9pm feed. I eventually took him into bed with us to wait another 1/2 hour til he was due for his midnight feed and woke up to him making noise at 3.30am. 6 & 1/2 hours between feeds. Hope we see some more of this at night (without the wakefulness beforehand of course).

He's very alert today but can't seem to manage to keep his dummy in his mouth so keeps crying for me to put it back in.

Barely a day goes by that he doesn't do a projectile vomit. He did one on Sunday all over my SIL's couch and floor (and himself). Luckily she has a 5 month old and remembers this stage quite well. He also did it on the way there - completely covered the blanket that was covering him in the car. Thankfully didn't get his clothes as we were on the way to a baptism and he was dressed nicely. At least he didn't get me. He's very good at completely covering me usually - he did on Friday night at my parents, yesterday & this morning at home. My health nurse says some babies just do this and to keep him as upright as possible after a feed. I have to learn to stop trying to put the bottle in his mouth once he rejects it or shakes his head, if I forget and perservere I always regret it.
