thanks Sami. I am not sure if i can cut out dairy. its too hard lol but i will wait out the spew.
Ashley never spewed AT ALL.. they are such different babies.
!

Hun, you got your threads crossed - I would never give up dairy either lol - someone in your other thread said they gave up all dairy - I read it yesterday and felt very selfish cos I couldn't/wouldn't do it .....

Tanya - sorry bout the inlaw confusion!!!

I am dead tired today - Zander is feeding scrappy again so wanting to feed overnight at the moment despite my best attempts to settle him. However he does go straight to sleep again but it means I am up for an hour during the night and an early morning again boohoo.

katones - I wouldn't be worrying about Jack if I were you - he is a great size!

sami-

naughty stuff. he's been good since NY so he just needs to keep it up

has any1 ever applied for a passport for a baby? how would u go abt gettin the photo done?

This morning DP said he doesnt feel like he's been a father lately. its cos he hasnt really helped with anything. what can i do to make him feel less this way without causing to much hassle (considerin his current state)?

ETA- im thinkin ahead of time but how would i go abt switching dragon frm bf to formula? would it take a while for him to adapt? im thinkin of when he's ard 6mths or so (roughly when he starts solids)

SamiH - yep i know lol i am just a scatterbrain and often say a thousand thoughts at once lol

Teru - can he do the bath? DH does this and after i have fed will lay DS next to DH for father/son talks lol...

As for formula. DD went to formula at 7 months and she took to it well. I was going to wean slowly - subsituting a feed for a few days then 2 feeds etc but once she got the taste she didnt want boob and we ended up weaning cold turkey

We're having a good time here in Tassie - all the rellies very glad to see my little man... but he's been quite unsettled - heaps of people around, noise, different temperature etc. I don't know what's happening with the air down here, but both X and DH's skin is SO dry! And it's been so cold cold cold (15 degrees

) which I think isn't helping. We were already moisturising EVERY nappy change, but now X's poor little head & body are so flakey and dry (like all-over dandruff!) - we're actually moisturising twice every feed! I double checked at the pharmacy and we're using all the right stuff etc etc (plus he's got eczema prescription creams) but he's just getting drier and drier. I feel so sorry for him! Hopefully he'll come good when we get home. I'm also taking fish oils & evening primrose oil so hopefully that'll come through in the milk & help too...

Any other tips?

He was good on the flight though, just fed on the descent which seemed to make him happy (which is lucky cos it was VERY turbulent). Oh and everyone in the rows behind us was beaming cos he was sitting beaming at me... hehe so cute.

Hi to everyone, sorry haven't time for personals but have had a quick read
