Sheree - poor little Riley - he's got more than his fair share of issues hasn't he? I hope that's an end to his problems. We aren't doing anything special with Brock for sleeping - he's just a very settled baby. He is being formula fed so I know exactly how much he's getting so maybe that helps. On the odd occasion he has given us grief we check if he needs changing again (even if he just got changed sometimes he needs it again), and if that doesn't settle him we feed him a little more formula and then generally he's off to sleep. During the day he sleeps in his rocker. At night he sleeps in his cradle - in a sleeping bag. If he makes noise I get him out and rock him a little and as he closes his eyes I put him back in. I think there's less disturbance when using a sleeping bag. Sometimes he needs his dummy - I put it in and hold it there til he starts sucking it. I don't know if any of that will help you though.

Beema - it's great that Nakita is doing so well. It's awful when they have to prod bubs around like that for blood isn't it? Fortunately we haven't had to experience it since he came home though.

Kristy J - Was there any particular reason you decided to circumcise your boys? I'm glad I didn't have to even think about it was never an option for us as DF was against it. It would have been a very different situation had I managed to have a son with my ex though.

Anyway, better go, it's feed time.
