em - hope you find that cricket quickly! If it was me, I'd be spraying my room like a crazy person (since DS doesn't sleep in there)
.

Appts went well - got the all clear from ob to continue life as normal - so into the pool sometime soon I think! Paed appt went well - DS is 5.3kg now. Paed thought he might have some acid reflux, but I'm not sure I agree - he does bring up a bit of milk and chokes on it sometimes, and gets hiccups over an hour after a feed, but he never seems upset by that and he always sleeps happily on his back, so I don't think any reflux is bothering him, he really only gets cranky when passing gas - especially when he's overtired already. Sometimes it wakes him up from day naps and sometimes that's what wakes him in the morning around 6:30ish. I'm guessing he'll grow out of it in a month or so - will keep using Infant's Friend in the meantime since that seems to help settle him down when he's having an attack. The paed suggested I use some Mylanta to see if that helps when he's cranky and it's not a feed time yet - I guess if that has no effect I can rule out the reflux. I also asked him about DS's gunky eye - still going since he was born - I've been cleaning it with cooled boiled water with salt in it (DS hates it) a few times a day - apparently it's a blocked tear duct and should resolve itself in time - I should keep cleaning it as I am, but also press gently with a clean finger in the inner corner of his eye while he's relaxed (e.g. while feeding). We'll see how it goes, but I hope it clears up soon. At least it doesn't bother DS.

Ok, off to have a shower and settle myself for sleep Trying to get a couple of hours in before the 11:30ish feed!
Yep got the cricket last night before bed and washed it down the sink!

I second disgirl's suggestion of breastmilk
Hi girls, just a quick one

Things are still going really well here. Josh's only problem is he has a bit of wind, usually hitting in the early afternoon. I've found that putting him on his tummy for a while helps, although he doesn't seem to last long on his tum as he rolls over onto his back. If I can get him to stay there though, I can usually then sit him up and the wind gets itself out. Apart from that we're into a bit of a loose routine; he is mostly wakeful in the morning and then has a good, long sleep in the afternoon. He's still sleeping really well through the night, only up once for a feed which is a lovely change from the other two.

That's about it. DH is back to work on Sunday night Not looking forward to next week at all, especially since it's leading up to Valentine's Day, when DH is busy at work.

Hope you're all well.

(csab, I sent you a PM about meeting up )
Sucks about your DH going back to work, but you'll be fine!

AFU, MJ like's to be awake from 6-7pm til midnight-2am everynight, rather exhausting but she just won't settle til then, Last night I just gave in and fed her every hour. It eventually worked lol by 2am then she slept til 5am had a feed then woke for a feed at 8am. She should probably weigh a heap more with the way i'm feeding her. Although i've found that my boobs aren't as full as they used to to be, does this mean i'm running low or don't they get full like they use to anymore?
