Donella - your virus sounds terrible - pity you have to go back to work tomorrow although it may be easier than being at home if you are sick -may take your mind off it. I hope the kids are nice to you -if not, throw up on them!!!!!! Poor Dylan with his reflux - does it bother him. Sounds like alot of work having to give him a feed before each milk feed, but if it works, then atleast that may stop the chucking.

Kell - sorry about your Nan. I hope that you atleast get some joy from your Dad coming down. I am sure seeing Molly and Will, will make him feel better also. Hugs to you.

Bonnie - Wow on Tristan rolling - that is amazing. Watch that he doesn't start rolling away from you!!! (he he)

Kristie - Louis seems to be enjoying his tucker. I haven't even thought about that with Eden yet. I tried Brandan on solids when he was three months. With Eden, she seems so much smaller that I don't think about giving her solids. Soon enough though.

Tracey - hope those donuts were worth the calories (he he). 5 feeds a day is about right for chn of this age - cut down to about 4 feeds at 6 mnths I think. Eden has just started feeding twice a night again so I think she must be having a bit of a growth spurt.

Melissa - brave little Benjamin with his needles - the time comes around too quickly.

Had my Mums group at my house today - 12 children and 7 adults BEDLAM!!!!!! The kids went crazy - but had a great play. One of the mums stayed behind and vaccumed the house for me after everyone left 'cause I can't at the minute. Such a sweetie - she also made everyone's coffees so I could just sit down. I am knackered now though but happy that I got to catch up with everyone at once. Brandan was pleased that all of his friends were at his house and Eden slept for most of it despite the high noise level. Free day tomorrow so I will just be resting.

Is anyone not swaddling/wrapping their bubbas anymore and HOW did you do it. I tried to loosely wrap Eden today and she couldn't get to sleep but she keeps escaping from her wrap at night which I think is another reason she is waking. ALSO - does anyone else have to settle their babies to sleep at night. I only have to help Eden for one of her sleeps - the 7pm sleep and the rest she settles herself. Just curious as to what the other babes are doing?

Love and Hugs tothe Kids.
