Renee - The castings are so nice, definately worth the money I say. Its something you will keep forever. Did you provide the photo or did they take it? Just go to the doc tomorrow for the blood test to ease your mind.

Sherie - Maybe I will do the same and only use cream if she is looking a bit rashy. My mum told me I didnt need to use it every single change, but I didnt listen hehe.

Hayley - Why was your night a disaster? Was Scarlet being fussy? I had a nightmare night out a few nights ago with a very sleepy Maddie.

Cally - Your DH sounds wonderful! Hope you have a nice nights sleep tonight.

Marydean - Do you have leakage probs with snugglers? I'm surprised alot of us are saying that they leak, I havent had any probs? I'm sure your daughter would love the 'CHD' hehe they love grooming themselves at that age.

Hi! hope everyone is having a lovely lazy Sunday. Am trying to multitask w a baby one one boob while typing l-handed...
MD tx 4 asking, she *seems* to be better but still get some painful screaming post-feed. NFI if i am feeding her enough as she usu only has one boob per feed & that gets chugged in 10-15 mins, then wrestles with my boob but doesn't suck properly, but she seems quite ok and last wk weighed 7-800g over birth weight. the screams seem quite harsh and painy kwim? occasionally she gets the 2nd side too but quite often just falls aslep. hang on- she is just getting the 2nd side now, but 1st side still seems to have some when i squeeze even though it feels... um... floppy & empty! Can you o BF gurus explain this?? should i express it????
hayley (? was it you?) i love the canvas prints idea - i had been thinking about doing something simiolar but was unsure what paint to use that wd be safe, thanks! we have my footprintss from when i was a baby too.
renee those casts sound gorgeous - will have to check out your pics!
we have been using huggies bnut are about to move to semi-recycled fancy schmancy enviro(ish) sposies - there is a great shop in Kew called the nappy shop and thry home deliver. About to try "bambo" brand which are sadly more $ than huggies. My friend used them and reckons she noticed fewer blowouts than huggies. Another mate uses 7th generation and is really happy with thm but are more $. Also have some "nature babycare" we got from safeway/coles which seem ok.
for barrier cream we use bepanthen ointment -she got nappy rash and it killed it by 2 days. we smear it on not rub it in. have been given some weleda which is organic but notgame to stop a winni9ng formula LOL!
she has really started to smile, gurgle and relate over the last few days. Today she was holding toys. Very strong neck & legs.
pregpan - hope you're having a great time here! let me know next time u r down & maybe we can have a sept buddies catchup! afraid to admit i am about to eat a ham roll LOL. havew moved on from the urge to make latkes and am now dreaming of blintzes mmmm gurgle *homer simpson salivating sound*. carlisle or ackland sts here we come!
my goodness Sherie that sounded like one awesome party!
