go Oscar
Amanda - glad to hear Kailen is home and hopefully improving quickly
Nathan - get that arm out little man and get on your tum!!!!! and ease up on your mum a bit (whisper this to your brothers too I think!!) Karen - hope he settles down and it was just the odd night out so to speak. Samuel actually takes the bottle (when he's had EBM) slower than a breastfeed (even on the fastest teat) although the ability for someone else to feed would sometimes benefit although I just keep remembering that it takes time to prepare the bottles and sterilise etc and in the middle of the night thats longer you have a crying baby (for me anyway whose bubs turns from angel to screaming devil when hungry - no increasing crescendo from one to the other) and how it is definitely handier for me to able to just stick him on the boob straight away. You work out whats best for you, Nathan and your family and go with it .
ETA - Karen - I sympathise with having and older child that doesn't allow you to sleep. I am certainly greatful DS#1 still has a daytime sleep.
