Hi Kell - I love bubba fat too! It's so cute. Will sounds like Louis with the sleeps. How much sleep would he be getting through the day in total?

I keep thinking it's something I'm eating....He has had a farty bottom continuosly all day and night for the last week. I have eaten a variety of things in that time though....I get so tempted to give him formula sometimes just to avoid that whole situation but then I get the guilts.....

I used to sleep him in the bouncer through the day but our MCHN said that I shouldn't. He would sleep sometimes a couple of hours though.....I wonder if it's worth a try again. He's so big though he kind of slips right down to the bottom if I don't strap him in, but if I do I'm sure he'll wake up.

That's great the Molly gets her cast off!!! What a relief.

I'm sure I would go insane if I had to spend 2 weeks with the IL's. I just spent 5 days after christmas and was ready to murder someone at the end. It didn't help that dh spent everyday all day down in the shed with his dad leaving me very bored......grrrr.As soon as we got in the car to leave I said I'm never going for that long ever again! hehe.

I have my picture through the little ticker. so if you get one of those you got through the process and it asks if you want to attach a picture file.....

Linda - Louis never goes back to sleep without me picking him up and rocking him again....I think I've started a very bad habit. I'm not sure whether I should use controlled crying to get him out of it. It seems so cruel to let him cry for so long...and all for just a 40min sleep.

Donella - thanks - he seems to push them out quite well at all times of the day. We used to do that when he was little and sure enough a poo would be had!! hehe. It doesn't seem to work anymore.......I hope he's little belly is o.k. Although he did do one yesterday after 4 days and I didn't even notice that he had so it can't be hurting him....

Has anyone given their bubbas rice cereal yet or are you all waiting for 6 months??? Louis is loving having milk on a spoon at the moment. He's quite good at it actually. Not much gets spat out at all. hehe.
