PP - Cute photo in your sig. I need to get my hair done too. Not sure when that'll happen though!

teruteru - Yeah dressing them in less clothes is a start to keeping babies cool.

Georgi - I've read that babies can learn to sign before they can talk! So you might be on to a good thing!

katones - Great news re: Jacks feeding. I still worry about Maya's feeding because she does seem to drink less now. She doesn't want to feed as often in a day now and will drink for shorter time at each feed. But being BF I can't tell how much she's actually drinking!

belfie - It's good to know I'm not the only person who'll be posting my Xmas/thank you cards on Monday! Last minute.. which is always the case with me and nothing to do with having a baby.

On Friday night I went to an Osteo cos I am still having problems with pains and numbness in my hands, knees and feet. I thought that they would have gone by now!

Anyway, I left Maya with DH around feed time and Maya just would not take a bottle. So by the time I got home she was a screaming mess. I tried feeding her from the boob for a little bit and then giving her a bottle but she won't have a bottle. Now I want to try and 'teach' her to have a bottle cos otherwise I won't be able to go out for longer periods without her!! She will accept it in her mouth if she's not crying, but she just won't suck on it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to help her learn to suck on a bottle?
