ITSME I lay byron on the edge of the pillow & shake toys in front of him (tummy time) so he lifts his head up, then I turn him over so he's facing me & do what I call aerobics. Hands together then apart x4, feet together then apart x4 opposite hand to feet x4 then bicycles, all while singing stupid songs. I do that twice. Then I support his neck with one hand while I bring him up for a few sit ups, holding his legs with the other hand. Then do some roll overs, from back to tummy. Then finish off with more tummy time on the pillow. I learnt this from a nurse who taught me the benefits to doing it. It gives us some time together plus it tires him out so he sleeps much better when we have done this. I don't do it at night though. So he knows it's long sleep time. HTH

BLIZZ I hope that mastitis eases up. It's just so awful isn't it. Make sure you rest up

BELFIE OMG Xander is just so cute. That pic is adorable. Thanks, the routine certainly works for us

KURAIZA Maybe you can try some excercise for Jude, like I mentioned to Itsme. It might tire him out so he sleeps more. I put Byron in his nursery for every sleep. He sleeps for 2.5 - 3hours each time. Though sometimes I do need to re settle him. Sometimes every half an hour. I definately agree that if he's putting on weight, then you're doing it right

Byron kept waking up last night. He's got trapped wind. I could hear him trying to push out farties & they just wouldn't come out. I ended up co sleeping with him from 4am so he could lay on his side. It didn't get the farties out, but it did give me a bit more sleep. I went to bed at 9pm but took ages to get to sleep cause I had a nap from 3pm - 4.45pm earlier that day. Byron woke at 1am for a feed. But I had to re settle him at 11am. Didn't take long though.

My sister & nieces arrive today (from Sydney). I can't wait to see my adorable little girls. They're 3, 2 & 1 (years old). They're meeting their cousin (Byron) for the first time.

Happy Sunday!
