Just popping in here quickly - have identified one of the causes of the velcro baby: a case of the sniffles. Poor bub, he's all snotty and he has no idea what to do about it. He's generally happy, though - the irritation with the sniffles seems to come in waves - and he's still feeding okay. He actually spent a lot of today sleeping, and is sleeping (in his cot) for the night now (hopefully).
