I can sooo relate to the velcro baby syndrome as that is Alex all over and also with what Jo had to say. I read all the posts but by the time I get to writing one Alex starts up again! He is currently lying on me in the Baby Bjorn, lets soo how long I get!!

Had 6 week health clinic check up- Alex is now 5.9 kilos and 60 cms long, nurse said he was a nice strong boy. She also made some lovely positve comments on Gabriella about how for her age she is very articulate and how well she plays independently and using her imagination. Made me a very proud mum.

Have had some issues with attachment and yesterdays visit helped although have been recommended to see a LC. As it turns out it looks like I ahve too much milk and it comes out too fast for Alex to handle, she recommended I express the intitial milk each time but that is not really practical especially when on the go. Will keep perservering for now.

IK we have coslept with both Gabriella and Alex, and both DH and I love it too. I used to cosleep with Gaby every day and do the same with Alex when given the chance for a lie down. As for evenings, he starts off in a cradle in our room and then around the 4am sleep ends up in our bed for our morning cuddles. DH is up for work by 5am and then I get my boy all to myself until around 6 when Gaby comes into bed with me. Weekends are lovely when we are all in the bed together, we really enjoy those times.
