Kate, we haven't used a dummy for either boy. Jack wouldn't take one and never needed it anyway (he slept well and never really cried). I haven't tried Thomas with one because Jack was so good without one and I don't want to create a problem with having to get up to "replug" as you say. I have considered it on his bad nights, but I don't think it would help. When he is screaming in pain he won't suck on my finger even so probably wouldn't take the dummy. When he's not screaming in pain he's settled and doesn't need a dummy anyway! I have just got some tips from my local ABA counsellor though. With both boys I have had an oversupply of milk and apparently this can cause many of the things Tom is experiencing. By feeding on one side only for 2 consecutive feeds then changing sides for 2 feeds etc this often relieves the problems. So I'll give that a try and see what happens.
You must be finding it even harder getting out then I am. At least Jack walks really well (he was walking at 9 months so is very experienced by now!).
Kathryn, glad to hear that Ashton's weight is doing the right things. Doesn't the time go quickly!
Hi Britney. Sorry to hear that you've had so some problems but hopefully all will be well now.
Tegan, I hope Charlie's feeding settles down. Some of them seem to just feed often. Jack did that but luckily only during the day!
Welcome to Karlee. What a shame you had a difficult start but I hope everything is going well now.
Today is my errands day as Jack is at day care. I have been out all morning and now have a heap of stuff to do around the house then have to pick him up in an hour. Looks like Thursdays are going to be my busiest days and here I was thinking I'd get a rest day once a week!! LOL!!
