Simone – that marinate sounds great.. I will have to try it. Hope you get a fan soon.. We got one last week - I LOVE it!

Mel – your MIL has a pool – that is unreal! How far away is she?

Jess – hope your still OK… I was thinking that the more kids you have the less sleep you get, your current routine sounds a bit hard!

Baths – I love your new pic of Niall – so cute!!!!!!!

Rory –Tresillian did not teach the ‘let them cry’ method. They just went through my home and my routine and made minor adjustments. They told me that nothing is a problem eg: feeding to sleep or rocking to sleep or feeding every hour …etc.. unless it was a problem for me. Some of the changes were so minor – eg: removing the mobile, making sure I BF away from sleep times, etc…but the difference has been amazing.. I highly recommend them. In fact, I was telling the girls at Baby Yoga how good they were and my next door neighbor got them into her place this week, she said it has worked for her as well! I feel so bad that they get such a ‘bashing’ when they are just wonderful women and mothers (like us) who want the best for babies and mothers.

IK – be careful with those cheap noodles, they can contain 25 grams of fat each and the fat is from partly hydrogenated oil – which is soooo bad for you that it is actually banned in forward thinking countries like Canada – it causes your body to actually absorb bad fat from others foods and not absorb any good fats…so check the ingredients. Hate to be a wet blanket but you can buy beautiful brown rice noodles from Coles which only have about 4 grams of fat and keep you feeling fuller longer – us BF mum’s need to keep our energy up!!!

US:
PC is now in our bedroom so I’m back on board – yeah!!! That said, I’m off to Yamba for a month on Thursday so again my PC time maybe a tad limited? DH has taken Ally for a walk so I can get some much needed “me” time. Ally slept well last night but for some reason I did not? I bought her a mosquito net as she was getting a few bites each night and I was so paranoid that she was going to overheat (even thought I had the fan on her?) or choke on it or something stupid like that – so basically I got zero sleep? HO Hum.. Does anyone else use mosquito nets? I know that SIDS do not recommend them, but I’m not sure what else to use? We have a really bad mosquito problem (even thought we have fly screens on every door, they come through the vents in the bathroom and laundry room from the units above). I don’t really want to use the chemical repellents every night…Any advice?
