willow - i'm with you on that. the monkey is not sleeping particularly well but i'm not going to start any kind of aggressive 'sleep-through' strategy until he's on solids and i'm sure he doesn't really need a night feed. he's pretty into it at the mo and will let the neighbourhood know if i try and resettle him.

when are we supposed to give breastfed babies extra water? when they start solids? when they're drooling so much to replace lost fluid? and... how much?
