That's the most bizarre thing I've ever heard! He's a baby for cripes sake! I reckon he's more likely to be a happy well-adjusted child because his mother his looking after his teething needs! stomps around on her soapbox for a bit!

I am now a puddle of sweat. Maya finally fell asleep - on me. And it's so hot with the two of us next to each other! But she needs the sleep!
pp - On my web searching I found the wrap for $24.95 at a store, so I might buy it next time I go to the shops. Those wraps sound good.
belfie - Yay for new PC and for being waited on.

Woohoo tanya - what store?
You will need a large i would say as E is in a large. (just check as often the smaller sizes are cheaper! :P)
There are snug as a bug too but they have legs in them rather than a sleeping bag bottom
Well i am wet and sandy as ashley and i just spent an hour in the sandpit which has filled with water from the rain lol... and no we are having banana iced smoothies! mmmmmmmmmmm

I thought I saw PP mention those wraps cause I've been using them since BJ came home. DH bought me a Small, Medium & Large when I was 8wks pregnant. I use them at night so he doesn't get out of them. They're a bit hot for the day time. I have the green one too. It's so nice. That's the large. The small I have yellow, & the Medium is white with planes, trucks & cars on it. Funny enough DH thought that was neutral, we obviously didn't know the sex then.
I saw Renstar & Ava today. Oh my, she's just soooo cute. I CAN NOT believe BJ was nearly half her size. She was sooooo tiny. I just can't fathom he was that small. Amazing how easily we forget.

Georgi - we dont use them day time either - we use a light muslin wrap for his arms - legs free and air con on 25
I use the swaddleme as kinda like a que for 'night time sleep' if that makes sense
as for trucks lol... very cute perhaps to a boy it is neutral! haaha

me fretting...
geeesh. You know how i said I wasn't going to worry about the u/s for X's hip. Well I've changed my mind haven't I. DH is unavoidably out tonight, I'm still taking it easy... and my imagination is running away with me. I KNOW there's no point worrying if he's got hip dysplasia (DDH) - there's no history of it in our family... BUT I don't know anyone who's had an u/s then got the all clear (probably cos they don't need to talk about it at all!). I only know of babies who had the u/s and turned out to have DDH... so I'm feeling a bit nervous... and I'm googling which is such a bad idea
Can someone pls tell me I'm being stupid and not to worry? Ta!

Belfie: I don't know about babies and ultrasounds, but I had to have an ultrasound on my boob after I had Jude to check for breast cancer and it came up all clear ... just normal breast tissue. It was VERY reassuring to know I could stop worrying about that lump.
Jude woke up just once last night which was nice, last time he did that was on my birthday 6 days ago. Not exactly a pattern, but always appreciated. The community midwife came by yesterday and showed me a great settling technique when Jude was screaming all red in the face and choking.
She swaddled him and rolled him on his side so he was facing away from us. With one hand she held his shoulder and arm firmly and with the other hand she patted his hip/bum in a heart-beat rhythm, fast to match his heart beat and then she slowed right down and then held him firmly for a few minutes. It was amazing, Jude calmed down so quickly and went to sleep.
Tanya: Have you tried the above settling technique? I use it to resettle Jude yesterday (only the 2nd time I've done that successfully). It took me about 15 minutes for him to sleep but he was calm that whole time.
