Karen - what a day! I haven't had any like that with Oscar yet...but I'm sure they'll come!
DP is trying out the new Nuk bottle...Oscar isn't very impressed, hasn't drunk much and I should probably get ready for bed so that he can have a comfort suck and drop off...
Sensory defensiveness can be as extreme as a baby being upset by most fabrics, too much light, too much touch, too much sound - all or just some of these. I know DP wasn't very affectionate as a child, as my MIL tells me, and he doesn't like holding hands when walking, some ways of touching him are irritating rather than sensuous etc. This was a bit frustrating for me until I read this book in the last week!
OK, better go make the most of the opportunity to brush my teeth etc...
