Hi gals,

I'm feeling a teeny bit clever cos I added a pic to my ticker. It wasn't hard (far from it), but I consider myself somewhat technologically challenged!

Wind - yep, Cam suffers from it and I suspect I cause it. I've had such a sweet tooth lately that I've indulged a bit more than I should and I suspect it's the sugar that's giving him some wind. Luckily though his wind's easily sorted (so far). I always give him infacol before the boob or bottle and then sometimes gripe water afterwards (the wind seems to hit him 60-90 mins or so after a feed). If all else fails, I whip off his nappy and cycle his legs and/or bend his knees up to his chest. Airing his bum seems to lessen his inhabitions (hey, he''s a boy ) as he'll sometimes fart non-stop while his nap's off. At the end of the day, I really need to go cold turkey on my sugar habit .

I CANNOT imagine what colic must be like where the bub cries for hours without consolation. A couple of people have referred to Cam's wind as colic, but I definitely wouldn't class it as that, simply because he only cries for a little bit till he gets some relief.

Luey - Only spotted one slightly over the top mum. She had a 3-year-old son who she kept changing in and out of a tuxedo depending on what category was being judged (there were about 6 categories). Poor little bugger - I reckon she changed him into the tux four times. Dunno why she didn't just leave him in it??? The pic I added to my ticker is what Cam wore in the baby comp. Little red overalls and matching bootie/shoes.

Hayley - have fun at the expo. I presume Brissie will have one sometime soon, in which case I'll be there with bells on. Hope the aisles are wide enough for a gazillion prams!

Mel - hope things OK with James. Can we help?

Cheers, Andie
