Hi Ladies,

Had trouble posting yesterday.. kept getting errors too...

Got an un-clingy baby this week, totally different from last week! - loves the bouncer and watching tv in it and also the playmat (back or side only, still doesn't like the tummy) When it is time to sleep though he does love a cuddle which is cute.

Jitterbug - YAY for the long long weekend, that will be so nice for you all.

I bottle feed Edison and have dealt with lots of wind and also trouble pooing - but not pain with poos... We burp during a feed and after a feed and make sure we get one, we are also boiling up 30mls of water and steeping a chamomile teabag in it and feeding him 5mls each feed - he feeds about 6 times a day. This just doesn't make it as hard to poo which is nice for him, helps the digestion etc... We have the chamomile tea in a bottle and just let him have a few sucks then straight into the bottle of milk... seems to be working for us so far... He poos once a day and it is quite solid, different from breastfeeding.

Tiggerlinda - oh yeah, we had wind trouble, love the drops! We still use them every now and then when Edi is just really unsettled and if I notice the burps aren't as frequent.
Oh wow - grabbing rings and giving cuddles - that is so exciting!

Storm - Glad to hear Noah is going well, it must have been awful for you, but so fantastic to see him all happy and content now- that is the best

Hollo - The 4 hour sleep is promising! Edi went through a period of not settling after the 40mins as well, I would pat and cuddle and rock the cot everytime he couldn't settle and that went on for a week and a good 5 times a cycle, but now he is pretty good - Thank goodness... I hope it gets better for you.
Edi now wont sleep in his cot during the day so falls asleep in his bouncer for an hour - I tried to move him but he wakes and gets upset in the cot so I just leave him now.

We are feeding Edison approx 800mls of goats milk formula a day - little piglet - sometimes he overflows though. He will drink around 120-150ml a go.
