NaNa- Gosh your having a rough time with bubs... I FULLY understand how bad it can be... Just glad my DD isnt like DS. (sorry not meaning to rub it in)... Have you thought about going to Tresillian??? They worked wonders on my friends bubs... 2 nights in a row now DD has woken up once and i go in cover her in blankets and put the music on and walk out again... Since she learnt to self settle things have been so much better. Are you feeding to sleep??? I now just pop DD down and let her go to sleep herself.... She cried for ages at the begining... (had to be tough) now she might cry a tiny bit but knows now that once she's on there its sleep time. I cant use johnsons on DD or DS. They have eczema so i need to use the cetahpil or similar products so i can avoid flair ups. What about a relaxation CD??? Pop a small CD player in and have the musoc going??? think i may have mentioned this... My DS needed to hear noises to stay asleep... (like the radio) or the projector music things (only they dont last long with a cranky bubs who doesnt want to settle. Really wish i could be more help... have any family or friends who could watch bubs so you can catch up on some sleep????

I HATE people who b!tch about BF when your doing it discretly. I can understand people having issues if your popping out your full breast then picking up bubs (like exposed for enough time for people to see... (still annoys me) but when your doing it discretly it *****s me... like who do they think they are... but i guess most people have never seen a BF women in REAL life...

Sass- if you think its having a bad affect (and only you'd know that) then maybe its best to hold off... I've started the chewy sack thing (not allowed to call it that here though) tomorrow i'll try carrots. a whole tinn seems like too much food to me (but every bubs is different) DD has max of 2 heaped teaspoons and only 1 feed a day for now. With the jobs i agree with NaNa- gove them a call- it shows your interested.

Have a drink for me also... And you could have met up with Mis_tree when you were in bathurst... i think she's also from there. Jayda could assosiate your brother with being away from you... but dont worry... DD wont go to ANYONE... My MIL has been having a fit that DD screams as soon as she takes her... Now i keep getting "she needs to come over more to get used to me"
