Morning everyone!

I had such a cr@p night last night, but I've decided to stay positive today lol! Joel's cold has turned into a nasty cough and he kept me up all night coughing or whining. I may have gotten 4 hours in total of broken sleep, I'm not really sure!! K did OK o'night. He did the usual 2am and 4am wake up, but was easily resettled. I'm not sure why he keeps waking during the night, he isn't hungry.

K did his first poo in the bath last night! It was so yuck, I quickly pulled him out! He only poos every 4 - 5 days now and the bath must have relaxed him. It was only a matter of time I suppose!

Viv - It will be interesting to see if dairy is the thing that is bothering James. It sounds very likely if you are also intolerant. Hopefully you will have it all sorted soon. If it is lactose intolerance, does that mean he shouldn't have normal formula too? (Not that he seems to want to take formula anyway!)

Alz - I hope the baptism went well yesterday! K definitely has his whingy days where he just wants to be picked up and lugged everywhere. Just normal baby stuff, who knows why they do it!

Saffi - Hope you had a better night with Lachlan last night. I use a stroller with K for short trips to the shops so I don't have to bring out his big pram. He is fine in it. I have a Maclaren Quest which I love. They are really expensive, but Maclaren's are definitely the best stroller I have found. (Of course I didn't buy mine new lol!). I suppose, just make sure the stroller has long enough handles so you aren't hunching over, a reclining seat is really handy (most don't lay completely flat), and a good sunshade. Test drive a stroller with L in it and see if if it feels easy to push and steer. Steelcraft do a good stroller too if you don't want to spend a fortune.

Amber - Ooh, happy belated 5 months to Myles! Lucky you going to see Phantom! I saw it years ago and absolutely LOVED it!

A question - Does anyone here use an Ergo carrier? I have been doing some research and I really like the Ergo. If you have one what do you think of it? I want a carrier that won't hurt my back and shoulders like the Baby Bjorn does. Kieran loves to be carried around and I need something that will distribute his weight evenly. I like the Ergo because it looks pretty simple and quick to use, but I don't know anyone who has one to find out if they are worthwhile. If anyone can help that would be great
