Hiya girls. Oooh, I wish I could come too Stupid Sydney.
BG: Woohoo for the sleep in the hammock! I am considering getting rid of ours. I hope everything is coming together for next weekend. I'll bet its going to be an awesome day.
Bella: Glad you are back online, babe! And woohoo for going platinum. Can't wait to see your avvy. There are some lurverly ones around atm.
Krystie: Thanks for the poo reassurance. I am sure Kyson drinks a lot more than 100ml at a time. Maybe sometimes he will have more and sometimes less. I'm inclined to believe that babies are quite like us in their eating habits - sometimes they want a snack, sometimes a large meal, sometimes a smaller one... Anyhoo, it's good to know he will take a bottle if you need him to.
Naomi: Amen, preach it, sister. They do knock you around, these little people. But good on you for pushing through it. Phoebe goes crazy just about every night for a couple of hours before settling down. I have never heard a little baby scream and cry so much. And there's nothing either DH and I can do for her except hold her and cuddle her and wait for it to be over and for her to crash. She doesn't want the boob, she is just mega tired and can't work out how to sleep. It sucks, and I often end up a bit teary myself. Good to hear that Bailey is doing better now.
Vic: Interesting that the hip dysplasia is more common in firstborns. I too wonder why that would be? I'm thrilled that you are getting some responses on the hip forum too.
LOL @ CJ choosing the waiting room to deliver a poo package. Phoebe did the same thing yesterday at the drs!
Kat: So glad Ivy is doing so well! Natty didn't take a bottle either. I tried when she was about 6 months old with formula because I'd gotten desperate about sleep and wanted to see if the formula would carry her through for longer (she was waking 1-2 hourly!). She just fiddled around with it in her mouth. I understand that bittersweet feeling of it.
Nicky: We're not really TT properly - Natty hasn't even done a wee in the toilet yet, so Lachie is ahead of her there! I am getting a bit tired of negotiating at nappy change time and sometimes I wonder if it'd be easiest to just bite the bullet and give it a go. Maybe in a couple of weeks.
Sorry about the food thing. I do a similar thing with Natty and we have had a couple of successes, but mostly she's still very fussy. I wish I had some sort of solution to offer, but we are definitely in the same boat as you.

Agh, I have to go. My kids are feral. I'll BBL.
