saf - can't sue. they'd have an excellent case of contributory negligence against me for bashing into it... (tired etc).

trish - how long would you say you can comfortably carry a young'un in the ergo before you get the burning? james' baby bjorn air is getting too hard after about 20 minutes. john finds it easier to carry him but then that's no use to me when i need to.

need to tell you all about the pumpkin fiasco. i pureed pumpkin and ebm in a little container and fed it to the boy. he took three spoons then did the red/purple faced silent cry which then turned into full blown pain screaming. i don't know if it was the pumpkin or if he bit the spoon (which he never does with cereal). we could not console him for 10 minutes, even refused the breast (which he would normally have to be dead before he'd consider refusing it). so i gave him some cool ebm in a bottle and then put him back on the boob. he's fine now but *****, i think punkin is oouuuut.

i guess i'll just go back to 10 or 11 feeds a day plus cereal. poor kid. hungry but no goog on pumpkin. MIL says john was no good on pumpkin, and neither is FIL, so i blame the genes. i love punkin m'self.

toes are still a bit sore but i've been walking for a few days.
