Thanks Jen - we're trying out a product called medihoney at the moment. lots of natural ingredients. Will give it a couple of days and see if it improves things. if not, I'll be off to the dr about it. I'm pretty sure it's not bothering him.. he's sleeping well at night.. except for the odd night here and there, i think it worries me more than him. hehe. it just looks terrible.. his whole body is flaky and dry. It did have a red kinda rash under it at one stage, but that seems to have gone.. maybe the medihoney is working

Kas - thinking of you and your family. Hope your grandma recovers ok.

Jen - on the dummy thing.. we only use the dummy if he's already fed and isn't asleep yet. But often he chomps on it and talks to me with his mouthful! He's getting in the habit of talking himself to sleep in my arms. hehe. it's lovely actually I have on occasion put him in his cot and he's just looked around and fallen asleep. Doesn't always work tho. hehe.
