Dee - good to read from you again! Well, if Lachlan is fighting the bottle, too, then why switch from the boob to the bottle if nothing will change? Hard ask, but could you wait until your appointment? Also, maybe you could take him to an osteopath or chiro that is known for being good with babies - a word of mouth recommendation is best, so you could ask the maternal nurses. There ARE high-needs babies and with them it's just the way it is, unfortunately. Even if you sort out this lactose issue, you may find that he just needs you more than another baby would need you. Look up Dr William Sears and he has a lot on high-needs babies. I really hope you get closer to a better time with your little one cos I want you to enjoy that cutie! I know it's hard to think about when you're in the midst of it, but this won't last forever. You have done so well, girly, so keep yourself together for yourself and for your boy (sounds like DH is so busy looking after his self-interest that you don't need to!). Anyway, I think of you when I'm not logged in to BB and I hope that your reserves are plentiful for both of your sakes
Bath - sounds good! I might try one of the cafes I haven't been in yet in advance to see if I can recommend it My GF's boy will be right into the Thomas thing, so I could ask if she wants to do coffee after as well!
Just got back from the fortnightly shop - what a task! Glad I took DP this time cos there's no way, the way I've been feeling this week, that I would have made it back feeling half-way decent or even energetic...
DP is being surly with me lately and I feel I don't deserve it. I'm mulling over it trying to find an approach to break the surliness. Funny how I have to make the effort to smooth things over when I'm the one who is otherwise in great spirits and wanting to give my mojo a workout...very strange, indeed.
Well, this shopping's not putting itself away and DP probably feels he has done enough. Too tired from looking after Oscar this week to be accused of whining or nagging, so I'll do it myself now that it's been taken out of the car.
