Hi Ladies,

Ok I am on the PC for once so I will attempt some persies while DH has DS.

Sunshine - I think my little one must be broken lol, he never closes his mouth when he has had enough milkies, he just lets the bottle sit there in his mouth and he sucks on it like a dummy, until Mummy gets smart and realises hehe.

How is your little one doing now after the hospital visit? You sound so content talking about how your family is complete. I know mine is still not complete, it's like I can't even contemplate the thought of not having another one. I am already planning about how I can increase my chances of a VBAC lol.


Geeky - Oh hun I could have written that post a few weeks ago, you have every ounce of sympathy I can muster. This is exactly when we gave in and gave DS the dummy. To be honest it is a blessing. As much as I was against them and get so frustrated replacing them when they fall out. I have given in and we have a much happier baby - my advise if you do get one is get a cherry shapped one (looks like a big ball at the rubber bit) as they are apparently the dentist preferred shape and they fall out much less.

mchope - What a wonderful idea the family daycare is. I have no knowledge that could help but I hope its not too hard for you to do. I know what you mean about not wanting to put them into daycare, I dread having to go back to work for that very reason, and it looks like I will be back in December.

Dory - I am highly impressed with thriathalon, have you done them before? I am hoping to be able to get back to doing some dancing (ballroom) and possibly even teaching it again.

Little O You poor thing, you really have coped well with the miriad of BF issues that have been thrown at you. Is there a reason you need to come off the sheilds or just preference? I found them such a pain in the backside but my nipple nowhere even close to filled it so it felt very unnatural. The immunisations weren't that bad I found (or maybe I am just heartless lol) DS only cried for a few seconds and then went straight to sleep after. I just didn't look while they did them and held him really tight.

BR - Sounds exactly like my DS on his day sleeping. I am trying so hard to put him down at his first tired signs but then it seems like he only feeds and sleeps.

Hi to everyone I have missed

AFM - Well DS has been off since Friday after he had his immunisations on Thursday. I think he has had a touch of gastro and some issues with a different formula we tried. Back to the original formula now and he has improved somewhat today but he is still really unsettled and his poos are quite fluid compared to normal. Sleeping great - we even got an 8 hr stretch out of him last night. Oh and I have the wonderful knowledge I have taught him to poke his tongue out
