It is a great idea Laurin, but without me trying to be too negative, please be careful as leaving a bub to self feed can be a bit of a choking risk - it only takes a minute. Please don't think I'm being nasty... I just finished a first aid course so a bit paranoid at the moment!

Shell - That's great the Ash will take just a regular bottle now. Xander will now take anything too - to the point that I just bought a pack of 3 super cheap Happy Baby bottles from BigW (for less than $5) - they have a X cut teat so the flow is variable.

Jodi - I was also going to suggest lots of layers. If the back of her neck is warm, she's warm enough. Perth gets down to about 3 degrees this time of year... and I've noticed that, even without using heating during the night, the house doesn't drop below about 15 degrees. Enjoy your holiday.

Belle - Big hugs matey.

Happy month birthdays' to Eithan and Ash... growing up way too fast!
