Cath - Would prefer a weekday,'tho can do a weekend, and the only days that don't suit me are 19/11, 20/11, 23/11, 6/12 and 13/12. Would like to meet up sometime in the next month, before Xmas festivities start to take up all our time? Maybe the first week of December?

Celtic - sorry to hear u have been so unwell. Hopefully u are on the road to recovery now.

We use Avent everything - dummies, teats, pump, steriliser, bottles. Did buy some Tommee Tippee dummies but they are too big for him.

L slept from 6.30pm to around 10.30 last night. After a feed he then slept until 4am. After numerous feeds couldn't settle him. DH then reminded me of that settling technique u use Trish. Within 10 mins he was asleep. Mind u he screamed for 5 mins and if DH hadn't of been with me I would have given up. He then slept for another 2+ hours- as did I. Got to learn not to panic and be more persistent.

Off to the inlaws today. Will be L's first outing to another person's home. fingers crossed.

Thanks Trish for the colic advice. I don't think that is his problem - more just being overtired and how we settle him. Will keep in mind tho.
