    Yay Bron, well done it really makes you feel so much better when you know they have put on weight then you can enjoy them that little bit more cos you aren't worrying as much.

    So sorry for your loss SJ how sad, thinking of you and your DH. What a stupid thing MIL said some people should think before they speak.

    Welcome catherinemoses congrats on the little boy Flynn, the boys are really outnumbering the girls now, looking forward to hearing more from you.

    I have heard that boiled water is good for wind as it pushes the wind through as the milk just sits on top and then if they burp they usually chuck, i think you only give them 1teaspoon and don't give water instead of a feed. Have also heard that too much dairy can make bubs really unsettled and for me i can't have onion, too much broccoli or salad it makes it hard when you have to cut things out.

    Summer has been so cranky and windy today, poor little bubba she was so overtired and beside herself when we got home from soccer training but she is finally asleep. She sleeps pretty well at night, i am lucky too, but not expecting it every night as don't want to push my luck. She gets so worn out with all the outings we have.

    DH is gone back to the single parent for a few weeks, at least i wont have to pick his undies up off the floor or his wet towel on the bed hehehe.

    Hope you all get some sleep xoxoxox

    Welcome Cathrine and Flynn!!

    Molly Jane went down at about 8.30 last night and i didnt get woken for a feed until 2.30am Woo hoo! means i got a great sleep (in bed by 10.30 and literally asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow!)

    Our 'routine' goes something like this...

    7.30 up and cuddles with Dad
    8-9am feed burp, change feed
    9.30 - wash and change for the day (maybe another feed)
    9.30-10am - down for a sleep
    12 -2 - wake up sometime in this period then feed and play
    4pm feed and sleep again (hopefully)
    6pm-8pm play, bath, cuddles with Dad and possibly 2 feeds
    8.30 - story in rocking chair then bed
    midnight-2am- wke for a feed
    5am- grizzlying, usually wind, burp, feed, change, feed, burp then back to sleep
    then its 7.30am again and we do it all again!!!

    I do find though that if we have 'outings' or people visiting this is disrupted and she gets more cranky.
    Trina, jade, teach and those other mummy;s with outer kids - just writing this makes me wonder how you do it with other kids to consider. I guess it becomes a juggling act!

    How do you give the water? such a small amount, im guessing dropping it into mouth?

    water doesnt wk 4 everyone but worth a try you can put 20ml in a bottle or use a dropper or medicine cup.

    its hard to feed and type hey

    so you give them 20ml (not instead of a feed) in the bottle and it helps with wind?

    can anyone recomend a bottle which really reduces wind intake???

    hi girls..
    im just back fr the mw.
    she said you dont really need to give water cos foremilk has lots of fluid, so im not sure.
    im using infacol, she said try tat for a week, else try Brauer's colic. its supposed to work better w the bacteria in the tummy.

    im a bit upset, lakshman just took the boob this morning and he didnt seem hungry for formula so i was very happy. then the mw weighed him and said he's at the bottom of the range.. im so upset. i have to keep topping up w formula.
    im going to ask his paed if the range is a WHO standard or Australian standard.. he might be taking after me, as non-Anglo Saxon babies tend to be a bit smaller..
