Hi all,

It was certainly a week of firsts for us last week - Cam crawled, then we turned his car seat around ... and he finally cut his first tooth ! He wasn't too bad either, just a bit grouchy when we put him to bed, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Having said that, he's been up and down tonight - has grizzled on and off since putting him to bed. I suspect the next tooth may be coming, so I've given him some Nurafen and hoping for the best.

Re: your bubs waking lots during the night - you have my heartfelt . I don't know how you all function the next day. Cam generally grizzles a couple of times during the night and either DH or I get up, put his dummy in his mouth and turn on his lullaby light. He generally doesn't even wake properly, so goes straight back to sleep once we go in to him. Those nights where he is scratchy and doesn't resettle well, we bring him into bed with us and he zonks immediately. Hope things settle down for you all.

Re: weight. Had Cam weighed today just to see if the formula and full-cream milk in his cereal/custard over the past two weeks has made a diff to his weight. But he didn't put on a gram. If anything, he lost 10-20grams. Stuffed if I know why he's not putting on any weight at all, but he's not a sickly, underweight, unhappy kid - quite the opposite. So, I'm just gonna go with the flow, keep feeding him sensibly and see what happens. I guess he'll start to put it on eventually ... I haven't seen any healthy 3 or 4 year olds who weigh 9kg or less!!

OK, gotta go to bed. At least the Nurafen I gave Cam seems to be working

Cheers, Andie xx
