Hi everyone. Hope you're all having a good weekend. We've got a long weekend here and its beautiful weather - been outside at a friend's housewarming breakfast this morning. Her friend is the head chef at one of the 5 star hotels in Perth so brekkie was pretty damn yummy! Izzy has had a much better day today after three days that got continuously worse. Fortunately her nights are still good - she had 6 hours between feeds and then another 4 hour gap so today I'm feeling pretty good. Today has been good so far so let's hope that little stage is done for the moment.

Tan - good on you for going out. I found once you brave it the first time its not so bad. As for telling whether or not your Izzy is colicky, look for blue around her mouth - particularly her upper lip - as well as knees being drawn up to her chest and real discomfort when placed on her back. My Izzy much prefers being held upright, along my forearm, or over my shoulder - pressure on her tummy helps with the gas.

Taking advantage of Izzy's good mood and off to clean the balcony and alfresco now - they're disgusting but now that the garden's in I don't have an excuse to avoid it!
