Rain- i have 2 mothers groups too! Single white female. *insert spooky music* i would NEVER stay here by myself at night. I'm a super scardy cat too!

MM- i think childcare injuries are inevitable, especially with toddlers. I think you did the right thing. It is good to know what happened, but there isn't alot you can do. It only takes two seconds for a kid to bite. A friends toddler bit Lu and we were both sitting there watching them, it happened so quickly there was no way i could have stopped it. I give Lu a plain Jalna yoghurt with no sugar. Some times i mix pear or apple through it. That would help reduce her sugar if you still wanted to give her custard and yoghurt. Lu is on about 4 feeds in 24hrs. Sometimes 3, sometimes 5!

Nonie- if you seriously think he is depressed, then things will only get worse unless he gets some help. I too have only spent about 4 hours away from Lu since she was born. But i guess that has been my choice. It is hard sometimes, especially when you are tired, things seem to get a little out of perspective. Sorry i don't know what to say except i hope you get a bit of support and some more sleep.

Arte- thanks for the info on the nuts. I do get a bit nervous about anaphalaxis, it is a scary reaction. A friend and her partner have no allergies what so ever and their son is allergic to nuts and eggs, i guess that makes me a bit cautious.
That's a bit rough about the dog, they should have told you 5 months ago.

Lu did 6.30 - 6.30 with no boob. WOOT! She did need a pat twice, but good ol' DH did it, so i didn't get out of bed all night.
My little performing seal also waves and claps on command these days. Isn;t funny how we get so proud of a tiny little thing like a wave!
