Dee: Oh what a poor little mite! Lachlan's expression in your ticker piccy seems to say it all... What IK suggested was interesting and worth looking into... please don't despair darl *hugs* I know it's hard and can't really offer any other advice except to say that my two older children went through similar challenging phases but it passed. At the time you just can't see an end in sight... maybe Lachlan is just going to get his fussy period over and done with earlier than our little ones. When I worked in a creche almost every mum said at one time or another that their child was highly unsettled and keeping them awake all night for what seemed like forever... usually it was due to teething or growth spurts or illness but sometimes it was unexplained... and I reckon even the mums that said nothing about their little ones were just trying to put on a brave face! Anyhow, definately seek professional advice if he seems in pain. Also try to be easy on yourself and your partner... don't worry, you're not alone and remember that most parents agree that having children is the HARDEST challenge they have ever faced in life... don't suffer alone, make sure you come back and vent, cry or scream (like I did yesterday LOL - today is much better BTW) whenever you need to!
