Tatt - That sounds great and ur sounding very positive about it all too which is a fantastic start!! Well done! I have friends who have been to MBU before and they loved it, it really does make a world of difference to have ppl who are experienced in settling difficult babies and even just having a little break and someone to talk to can change ur whole perception of the situation.
And I know how u feel, I was hospitalized with a kidney infection 5 yrs ago and I was put in the dementia ward... (due to lack of beds)There was a lady next to me who sang the vegimite commercial over and over and in the middle of the night I would wake up to a naked 80+ yro man standing in the middle of my room... it was freaky and eventho I was doped up on morphine it didnt make it any nicer... lol The lady next to me kept putting my bag and shoes outside the door coz "she" was getting picked up... lol (she wasnt) and I was hooked up to drips and machines so I couldnt get them back... DH walked into me and her fighting over my bag and me yelling "it's mine give it back!!!!" and crying He couldnt believe his eyes...! hahaha I had to suffer that for 2 WEEKS!!! lol
Amazd - LOL yes I do believe it's a baby's job to eat and poo...
Well I have been sleeping out in the lounge room for the past 2 nights with Ethan. I dont know if it's just coz the lounge room is warmer or if he has decided to start a routine but he has been sleeping like an angel inhis basinette.
He has his last feed around 10pm then has a little cuddle and off to bed, wakes up for a feed at 4am (which is a really quick 10 min feed - if that) then off to sleep and we wake up at 7:30am... I cut out the night nappy change unless he's really full or dirty but coz he's only having a little feed over night I haven't needed to change him for the past 2 nights... And since sleeping in the lounge room he hasn't had any wind at all over night (has it during the day a little bit tho in late arvo) and hasn't been grunting and keeping m awake...
He has been a dream... and DH has been getting sleep so he's happier at work and more energetic.
I wonder how Nat and Sue are going? and Blue... haven't heard from them in a while.
