I was quoted $25 per hour + $30 agency fees for a nanny. So that would be $230 a day for us in sydney!! Dont know what we're going to do. My MIL has Ella for 2 days but i still need to find someone to care for her the other day.

Kim - Big hugs. I'm sure DH will do his very very best to be there for you. Its tough being in a new town.

Well Ella's eating a bit better today. Tonight will be tough again. DH said he'll settle her tonight - that's 2hrs of settling... so i can sleep.

Nelly - how long did it take to change the night feeding? I dont mind going in to settle her if she wakes but I need her to start putting on weight with solids so i've gotta cut out the night feeding.

Tara - have you tried bread/toast with evie? Ella will have toast if she has nothing else for her meal. So its cheese toast and avocado on toast... i think she likes to chew it.
