Morning everyone!

Not looking forward to today, it is going to be 37 degrees, yuck! I used to love hot weather, but with a baby it is so horrible. Keiran wouldn't settle after his 6pm feed yesterday, I think it was a combination of being so hot and that MIL came over. He seems unsettled when there is a lot of activity going on during his sleep time. Luckily he slept really well overnight, but wouldn't settle after his 6am feed until about 5 minutes ago! He went 5 hours between feeds for two nights in a row now which is great.

Tiff - I would get checked out by a dr to be on the safe side, but from memory you had an episiotomy? I'm guessing you would feel more pain for longer after having one. I haven't had any probs with my stitches and I'm guessing they are well and truly gone. Luckily I only had a first degree tear this time.

Saffi - Glad the settling technique worked. It is still working really well for us. The MCHN said that it feels like forever that they are crying while you settle them, but if you time it on your watch it is usually only a minute or two. I tried that theory out and she was right! He usually only takes about 20-30 seconds now.

Leah - Wow, your doctor sounds facinating! Does he have any stories to tell? It's great when you can have a (kind-of) claim to fame! Our house was built by Kylie Minogue's grandparents and our neighbours who built next door tell us that she and Danni used to run around the back yard when they were little. So that's our claim!

Re: Christmas pressies, I have NO idea what to get Kieran. We so don't need any more toys. Maybe something boring like clothes. Amelia and Catherine - Jolly Jumpers are a great present, I'm sure your bubs will love them!
