    See the thing is, I haven't eaten anything I don't normally munch on without any problems. His poo this morning though huge was still pretty normal - I'm just going to put it down to one of those things I guess. He seems fine today.

    Glad to hear he is doing better Ck, hopefully it was just one of those random things maybe some tummy pain or whatever.

    Lilly's days are still really unsettled but not becuase of the Colic now, becuase she can't switch off and go to sleep during the day. I've started trying a routine for nap time, as I think becuase of all the tummy issues she has has she hasnt' gotten herself into a routine for day sleeps and we have just been doing whatever to get her to sleep. She has a really hard time settling. Won't settle in my arms so we are doing in cot settling for now with sleeping bag and dummy.

    It's been hard the last 2 naps becuase she constantly wakes. Or wakes after 15-30mins. She is so tired Night times are fine however, I've ordered some block out curtains as perhaps it is too bright in her room and she has issues settling with the extra distraction.

    After much persistance through 2 naps times today I seem to have gotten her to go to sleep finally. I never let her cry, I'm always in comforting once she starts to cry but its been tough getting her to sleep. She is getting really miserable and hard to manage during the day so I know she needs the down time. I've been doing feed, play, and then when she yawns taking her upstairs doing nappy change/check telling her its sleepy time, putting her in her sleeping bag and then giving her a cuddle until sleepy, if she starts to cry I use dummy to soothe in arms and walk and pat till sleepy then pop her into bed.

    Each time she wakes, I wait until she is crying (she does the half assed cry/grizzle first) I calm her with bum pats and dummy until calm starting to get sleepy again and then leave. Rinse and repeat I don't know how many times today gees.

    Hopefully this works, as she really needs to start getting more ZZzzz

    Hopefully it will right itself in a week or so, after 8 weeks of inconsitancy from being unwell it's not a wonder she is all over the place

    Keep your fingers crossed for me it is hard work!

    I'm having the worse day today. She has been crying/won't sleep since 6am. Nearly 12 hrs of it. Dealing with her like this and DS is doing my head in. We had to go to docs today to get her losec prescription and doc thinks she has a combo of reflux/colic and settling issues. She says it can persist until 7 months, even one year. Not sure how I will get through. It is a daily slog. So much holding my arms feel like they are breaking. The patience of listening to her crying. It's just so tiring

    I have no advice just sympathy and hugs. If you need to talk just send me a PM. I'm trying to sort DD settling issues out and colic and its so hard.

    Frustration follows me everywhere atm.

    Same here Nikky.

    Well I am pleased to say we had our 6-8 week check up today and Aubree is now weighing in at 4.725kg. So she has put on 1.725kg since birth! The nurse was so pleased Anyways Im off to spend some times with my hubby

    Big Hugs Jan
    Any chance of going to yr mums for a break? Even an hours sleep or something?? Might make you feel a bit better.

    My mum goes home tomorrow! going to miss having the company actually....but be glad to get my house back! and not to have her clutter everywhere!

    So, Zoe has been puking a bit of late...like after every feed she has a bit of a puke. Sometimes it comes out her mouth AND nose! so distressing poor tyke

    So last nite, I put a pillow under the sheet in my bed (where she sleeps), and laid her head on top of that...she slept great! no puking during the night! She slept right thru from 9ish to 7ish! And being that the pillow was under the sheet, I didn't have any fears of her getting her lil face stuck between two pillows

    yay!

    Tomorrow I have to go and pay the deposit for Harriett's dance lessons! yep, my baby is starting dancing next month! w00t .. I am finally becoming a *soccer mom* .. have ALWAYS wanted to be one! Dance, Swimming, School ...ohhh wait til they start sports! soooo exciting!

    Lolpigs I've had to boost my nappies up with the extra padding cos there was a bit of a gap at the legs still. But I've still been using huggies overnight.

    We got this cyclone coming overnight so we've been in prep mode all day and I've been cooking Anzac and chic chip biccies today . Everytime I turn around this arvo DS2 is in stealing another lil bicci the little bugger LOL..

    Nikky I can't wait till I can put a leotard and ballet shoes on Abby, she'd better be a little princess and not a tomboy hehehe!!

    Hehe little ballet shoes! Hubby is hoping Lilly is a little princess. I'm sure she will be with the way she is acting!

    Well despite yesturday we had a good night, went to bed at 6:30pm after her bath, dream feed at 10:30pm then up at 3am and back to sleep till 6am, and now asleep again at 7:15am. Seems the little miss who dosent like to be wrapped, actually does and wants her arms up so no more sleeping bags, and I bought some summer weight I love to dream swaddles. Little pest!

    Is Feed Play Feed sleep an ok Routine? Lilly seems to settle alot better if she feeds before sleeping helps her wind down better than dummy sucking. Although she did just fall asleep in my arms I am hoping for more settled days as they affect her sleeping over night and her eating. She did fall asleep mostly in my arms that time around LOL

    Mollie, the new routine of popping her down in the cot on her side and rubbing her leg until she is asleep worked well this time around. I wonder if it will work well next time? Seemed more comforting for her to be rubbed till she was asleep.

    Aubree prefers to be rubbed rather then patted.. Don't know why, although some days she doesn't.. Who knows...
    She made a liar or me yesterday though.. We have started at a mothers group and I was saying to one of the girls "oh I can't get Aubree to sleep longer then 40 min blocks during the day" She slept for basically the whole time we were there which was 2 hours... Little toad!! I couldn't believe it.. And then when we got home it was back to 40 min blocks!!!

    Heh, feed/play/feed/sleep is what I normally do with Alex. He just settles quicker and sleeps longer. He also likes having the back of his head stroked. Had fantastic night last night, he fed then dozed slowly off to sleep on my chest, was in bed by 9.30pm and has just woken at 5am for a feed. Consequentially I woke up to wet sheets and a very sore chest because he'd usually feed twice in that time.

    Need to figure out something to do with DD today - she was very patient with my tired blahness yesterday.

    BTW, if anyone's heard of Brands Exclusive, they're having a sale on Hot Milk bras and Ergo-pouch sleeping bags among other stuff. If anyone wants an invite PM me

    LOL fell asleep after last feed.. I'm not complaining! Although I guess this 100% confirms the Breastmilk was upsetting her ;( Shes been off it again now for over 24hours. Ah well.

    Oh no Mollie I hope you get better fast
