Hi All,

We ended up going away for the long weekend to a farm about 3 1/2 hrs drive from Melb. Caitlin had a great time and Campbell slept a lot and fed terribly. I had just enough bottles to last us while we were there so I didn't have to sterilise but he wouldn't drink. In the 3 days we were away he probably only had 1 day worth of milk. Now that we are home though he is back to having his full feeds. I suppose it was the different surroundings that he was not comfortable with. Makes me worry when we go up to Qld in Apr/May. He will have just started solids but will still need to be having bottles so hopefully being that little bit older he will do as he is told and drink well! Unfortunately when we go away I will have to do some sterilizing because I am not buying 11 days worth of bottles to take up there pre-sterilized!

Picketty - Our routine is pretty set now but it is much easier when you are bottle feeding than demand feeding. Up at 8am for bottle. Sleep by 9.30/10. Bottle 11.45. Sleep 1.15/1.45. Bottle 3.30. Catnap 5/5.30. Bottle 7.15. Bed 8/8.30. Dreamfeed 11/11.30. The 1st 2 sleeps of the day vary, 1 will be a long 2hr sleep and the other will be a catnap / awake / catnap. If he sleeps past 8 I just adjust the day by feeding him 3.45hrly so that his dreamfeed is as close to 11pm as possible so I can get to bed although DH does this feed regularly so I can get some extra sleep!

Finally got physio clearance to go to my first hockey training last night. I wasn't allowed to do much but it was great to get back out on the pitch. I am sore today though and very unfit! I have a lot of work to do to get fit for the season. I think I will probably peak halfway through season! Oh well better than nothing I suppose!

Hope everyone else is well
