Tina - Sorry to hear about Mikayla. Try and look on the bright side until you get confirmation. the word MILD may make all the difference. Fancy sendng a referral without a note.

Nellnell - The sleep issue seems to be a stage they all go through at this age. We were talking about it at mothers group yesterday because all the bubs around 8 wks are the same. The nurse said it is because the babies are now aware that they aren't in the womb anymore and so get anxious and don't sleep as well. She suggested keeping them wrapped tight and putting them to sleep holding them if necessary to make them feel secure. Also their sleep patterns change anyway as they learn the difference between night and day. I've resigned myself to the fact that I won't get any rest during the day anymore andif he does have a sleep its a bonus!

I've started using one of those safe and sound roll things for his sleeping to keep him on his side as his head is getting really flat now The nurse says we must do something before it gets really bad.
