Hope you dont mind me coming into this thread. Xavier was born 28th Sept but no one seems to post in my thread and I do read and keep up with you all in this thread.

A little history I moved to Brisbane from the UK at 32 wks pregnant and had Xavier on due date. He is my second child I have a daughter Erykah who is 3 1/2 born in Melbourne. We lived there for 3 yrs before moving back to the UK and now we are settling into life in Brisbane.

Well I can sympathise with Captain on the sleep front I feel like Xavier feeds more at night than during the day. From about 7pm he cluster feeds I got him down last night by 8.30 and he woke again at 9.30 for a feed. Got him back to sleep and then he woke at 1, 4 and then up at 6.30 that was a good night. I am thankful that he goes straight back to sleep after feeding as my daughter had me up most of the night. He has reflux and is on Zantac which I tried to take him off over new year but he was very distressed and unsettled so I put him back on to it. He has 2mls a day so I have reduced it by a ml to the doseage the dr said.

I dont co sleep but he sleeps in a cot in our room for the moment I am moving him into his room when our visitor leaves at the end of Jan.

I have taken Xavier for his first swim lesson this morning. He was due a sleep typical and so was a little tetchy. I was not entirely happy with some of the things they were expecting him to do and he was crying. I felt all clumsy with the holds they wanted us to do and he was wriggling and I felt like he could slip out of my hands at any moment.

I wonder if there is something wrong with me as I love water really love swimming but I am very nervous with my kids around water. I just cant relax and to see Xavier with his face going into the water had me all panicked

Oh got to dash as Xavier waking up so best feed him


Will be around again soon
