Hello!!!

Sorry I haven't been on for a while, computer meltdown!!!!

Erin ~ Glad you like the Peanut Shell! Its really been a life saver for us. I find it hard to hold Seven over my shoulder for very long due to my back injury and the fact that she is a fatty boomba!! The peanut shell allows me to carry her for so much longer without getting achy, and she settles right down - except for last night when Daddy tried to use it and she thought it was time to play!

Mumma ~ Wow!! And I thought Seven gained weight quickly! Good on you and whatever you are doing, continue doing it. I personally attribute Seven's good weight gain to my chocolate eating habits!!! LOL

Captain ~ Yeah Seven likes her baths to calm her down too. So if, tonight, she is still awake at midnight, guess whose getting a bath then!!!

Candy ~ Please don't say you failed at breast feeding. You gave it a go, and from the looks of it, you are still trying. Erin is right, the first priority is to get your baby fed, who gives a blue wazoo how you do it. You will feel better in the fact knowing that you are looking after your baby. I work in a hospital and we are all go go go breastfeeding, but I tell my Mums "if it's not going to work for you, so what?" Good on you for continuing expressing, I can only imagine how tiring that must be for you.
A peanut shell is an all in one fabric sling that sits OVER your shoulder and baby fits nice and snuggly inside. You can lay them down, wear them sitting up facing you, facing out, on your back and, when they are a toddler it is great to support that huge bundle on your hip! Oh, and you can breastfeed in it too. We use ours every night to help settle Seven to sleep. They are magical!!!

Hi Indie and anyone else who has popped in but hasn't posted yet!!!

Seven is growing like a weed! Stays awake from about 11-2am the past 5 nights, and has a very very gurgly tummy but we are trying to combat that with Brauers Stomach Calm and Infants Friend. Seems to be working, she is able to fart and bring up her wind so much better now!

Speak of the little Madam, I hear her grunting for me! Better run.

Love & Hugs!!!!!
