Hi Carmey - not sure why your pic is so big hee hee but it's cute! When I did my siggy I downloaded it as normal and it just made it small to fit in the ticker. Did you just upload it as normal?
Hi Rose - great to hear you're feeling much better and Liam sounds like he's doing so well. 6 hours wahoo! I got 5 last night and woke Amelia out of panic, hope she gives it another shot tonight so I can let her go and see what happens.
As for the poo explosion, I had a real one like the add yesterday, we stopped at the shops and DH stayed in the car with the aircon, when I came back he said she'd pooed and boy did she ever, it came out the sides of her nappy, up her stomach, on the car seat, the seatbelts, you name it. She was screaming as she hates a pooey nappy so we had to change her there and then. The worst part is I went to take her out of the seat to put her in the back to change her and I put my hand in it and it went in my nails and everything, eeuw!!!!!!!! ha ha, sorry TMI peoples.
Alison - I was just teasing. I didn't mean to say you were oblivious - just that I remember you being fed up with everyone telling you. Ewww with the poo explosion. Why don't these things happen at home?
Carmey - Tonight I started using it during feeds and she seemed to bring up less. I was getting worried as after her 2 big spews today, she had dry nappies. But she's had some very wet ones tonight. I look forward to reading your birth story.
Rose - So glad Liam is settling better. It's amazing when they sleep well and they can interact with us a little more. I hope it continues.
AFM - I have had a fantastic night so far. Amelia woke at 6:45 for a feed. I then gave her a bath and she was so calm afterwards I decided to try giving her a massage. She's usually so tense I don't bother as massage seems to make her worse (because she isn't used to it, I guess). She loved it. She smiled and made lots of gooing noises. I dressed & wrapped her ready for bed, but she seemed wide awake still. I was going to read to her but thought better of it as I didn't want to overstimulate her. As soon as I started rocking her, she closed her eyes and that was it. She woke again after half and hour for another feed, but went straight to sleep afterwards and didn't wake for 3 hours. By then it was 11:30 and she woke up with terrible wind. I stayed calm and massaged her belly until it passed. She's now sleeping again after another feed. After a week of inconsolable nights, it feels so good to know that it is possible to comfort my daughter and give her what she needs. I don't expect every night to be like this, but if I could have a couple a week it would be easier to bear the bad ones.
