Nikki - I am still breastfeeding, wouldn't give him anything other than that for now. I'm surprised though, because leading up to it, my bb's were becoming overfull, and quite enlarged because of it. I had to express quite a lot to keep them from getting sore. The mornings are still pretty bad though.

We're back from the doctors. Benjamin has had his 2 month needles, followed by a blood test. The panadol has done some of the job, he's very sleepy now. The polio vaccination that usually comes on a spoon, now comes in an injection too. He had to have 3 needles, then because he's still a little jaundice they sent us for a blood test. For the vaccinations, I just had to hold his hip and knee still while the doctor jabbed him quickly. He was ok for the first one, but the next 2 he got upset. No tears, just a lot of noise. Then when they took blood from him, 3 people had to hold him still. I just kept talking to him while he screamed the place down. I can't believe there wasn't any tears after that either, just a lot of noise again. I was really sad about them taking blood from him, I almost had a cry for him, I just wanted to pick him up and tell them to leave him alone, he sounded so hurt.

We are home now, and DH has taken him for some daddy sleep time. Benjamin is fast asleep too. They both look so peaceful sleeping together.

I did get told off by my doctor for co-sleeping with Benjamin. What else can you do if they won't sleep in their cot or pram?

Kristie - Benjamin feeds often during the day every hour - 2 hours. He has longer between feeds at night. Panadol knocks them out for longer too. We found that out when I had to give him some to settle a cold he had.

Tracey - I hope he doesn't become a professional boxer. I prefer he keeps a few more brain cells. I'd like to put him into swimming and kinder gym first.
