    KURAIZA - Your seaworld day sounds like a challenge. I wouldn't dare take Byron out for a day like that. I'm still not comfortable bfeeding in public. My let down is so forceful that Byron pulls off & it sprays right across the room. Imagine seeing that happen. AS for your weight loss... That's great! I lost heaps after Byron was born too. I was also lighter than pre pregnancy.. But.... I then put a heap back on. So now I'm still porky. I hope you can keep it off.. Unlike me

    KATONES - Yay for your man sleeping more. What a relief aye

    SAMI - Byron seems to sleep like Zander. Goes down at 7ish & wakes up once throughout the night then again at 6 or 7am. Although Byron is nearly 3 months old, he's really only 4 weeks. Everything goes by his corrected age so I act as if he was born Oct 14th. That way I won't expect too much from him

    BELFIE - I've got my sister & her kids here from interstate too. Glad to hear all is going well with you

    TANSTAR - Thanks for dropping in. I'm just hanging in this thread. It's hard enough keeping up with this one. Glad alls great with you

    ITSME - That's wonderful that you had a great night out. I bet it was a relief knowing you can leave Maya with your mum without a drama

    CATHIE - Sounds like you're doing a great job with the twins. Hooray for getting some sleep too

    PP - Are you using a dummy? Maybe if you try resettling with a dummy he will sleep longer therefore feed longer & maybe get him into a longer routine IYKWIM. Just a thought. Hope you're coping ok. I know i'd be stuffed. I take my hat off to you

    HOLLYE - Hope your doing well xx

    That's as far back as I can go on this screen so I'm sorry for missing anyone.

    Well Byron hasn't slept through the night again, boohoo. It must've been a once off occaision. Still, he's pretty good though. Goes down at 7is, wakes at 2ish then 6am ish. I got to bet around 9pm so i'm getting some solid sleep. He hasn't done a poo for 4 days now. He's only now starting to get pains in his tummy. He grumbled from 3.45am so I didn't get much sleep trying to resettle him all morning. I ended up giving him 20mls of water after his feed this morning so i'm hoping that'll do the trick.

    Other than that I'm just enjoying spending time with my sister & nieces while they're up here. They go home on Thursday.

    Georgi - We are trying the dummy. He is getting better at it but he spits it out a lot and crys.
    Plus he is a tummy sleeper and he is a little harder to master the dummy on his tummy as he turns his head side to side BUt we will get there!

    I hope byron does a poo soon!!

    Ashley has started coming to us now and waving her hand at her nose and says 'ppoooooo' yay!!! its exciting that she is recognising and telling us now..... toliet training soon!

    Katones and PP: We do cloth and I have no problems in public with it. I've changed Jude in the parents room at a shopping centre on a change table and just on the sink bench top at Seaworld (I couldn't find a parents room and I didn't particularly care if anyone objected) and of course at the community health centre when he gets weighed.

    Jude's still a bit small for the bum Gs and they've leaked a few times, so I actually prefer using flats at the moment. My brother in laws are coming from America to visit (arriving today, eek more visiters) and we suggested they could buy come happy heinys from amazon for us, so fingers crossed we'll get some more MCN soon.

    Are your husbands good at changing cloth? My husband loves the Bum Gs.

    kur
    dh is an itti fan for ashley! lol
    with ethan he still uses sposies but that is ok for a few more weeks. atm i am lucky to use 2 sposies a day - mostly at night.

    the bg fit ethan well and so do the HH pockets. i have a baby cheeks on him atm and the leg protection is fab! no chance of leaks and they dont have to b done up tight at the waist to make the legs smaller like the rest as the legs are adjustable!

    he is still too small for the baby beehinds yet.
