Babies born~December 1st-15th 2009 #3

Hi girls

Tilda re the poos. I have had worries with Jett since birth. He used
to go only once every 7days or so. We had him in hospital once cause
it had been 10days and he was screaming in pain. The did ultrasound
scans etc and showed nothing then after some stimulation he went.
After that we gave him prune juice with water and he now goes every
day or two. Hope Matilda is feeling better after she has gone now and
continues.

Alison glad to hear you had a great birthday enjoy the cake and food
it's only your birthday once a year!!!

Rose how good is Liam going with his sleep I bet you feel great, I
hope it continues for you.

BS love the updated pics of Eva. If Eva continues the backwards crawl it wont be long and she will be off forwards.

Carmey hope you are feeling better and things are looking up for you.

Kanda I hope Sienna feels better soon and improves on her sleeping.

Kawa hope all is going well with the business. Where do u post where you will be for markets?

Willow I hope the thrush clears up for you both very quickly. Sending the get well fairies your way.

Suz sounds like you had a lovely night out witht he girls even though you missed dinner. Hope you are having a great weekend at your caravan.

Beany Hope Michael is going well, lets hope the sleep continues to improve for you.

Hannah You are a wonderful mum, hope you are feeling better and brighter. :hug:

Well Jett has been ok I have still been up a few times a night. DH
took Jett out this morning to the park to fly his remote control
planes. It was a great break for me. I went and got my nails done then
came home and got some housework done. And a big achievement from Jett
when he got back from being out with DH I fed him and was trying to put
him to sleep and he was fighting it so. Thought fine go into your
bassinet and lay there for all I care and then there was silence and he
had self settled. Yay I am very happy! He has now been asleep for
almost 2 hours. Normally only an hour or hour and a half during the day.

Well must be off.

Hope you are all having a great weekend.

Sorry if i have missed anyone it is not intentional if I have.

Hi Lani. Poor little Jet not going for 10 days! Glad its settled. I might try the prune juice in water but its hard to even get her to drink water. Isn't it amazing when they decide they just want to be put down and go to sleep! I'm hoping Matilda starts again when she gets through this fussy period. My mum arrives Tuesday so I'm really hoping things settle down before then.

Hi Rose - I'll be over for lessons on the Desire for sure! lol DH's brother who is a computer guy said the Desire and the iPhone4 are very very similar but if he had to choose he'd go the Desire, just because it is apparently run through Linux and operates via Google and so has more opportunity for apps etc....he said the iPhone being an Apple product means you are limited to Apple apps only. Apparently Apple and Adobe for example had a fight so now you can't use anything associated with Adobe which includes Flashplayer so if you want to download something using that you can't. Anyway, that's what he said, he did tell me other stuff but he got a bit technical for me so I switched off lol. I'm still trying to work out how to send a bloomin text message! ha ha. It's great though, love it so far.

Well everyone, I had a lovely birthday weekend but it's been a little marred with Amelia coming down with her 2nd cold in 4 weeks!!! This one is a little worse as her nose is really snotty and blocked this time, I got up 6 times to her last night and eventually at 4.30 am I gave in and put her in bed with us - haven't done that in months, I just couldn't settle her and the more she cried the worse her nose got, it was bubbling it was so bad. Poor petal. I just feel awful for her. Then today we had lunch out with my family and then went back to my sister's for cake, she was happy enough but she would not go to sleep. I've just got her to bed now at 7.15 pm, she has been awake since 11.00 am - except for half an hour in the car on the way from the restaurant to my sister's she has been awake for 6.5 hours, it's just ridiculous. I don't know what tonight will bring, it will either mean she will be awake all night again with her nose or she'll be so pooped she'll sleep - I'm expecting the worst though. Is it normal to have 2 colds in 4 weeks though? I'm not sure where she got this one from although the swimming teacher last week came to teach the class with a cold (WTF!!)....I won't be taking her this week if she's unwell.

Anyway, best go, will write some more tomorrow. Thanks for all your birthday wishes this weekend, I cherish our friendship a lot and feel blessed to have met you girls.

Hope you all had lovely weekends.
xx

Tilda Jett wouldn't take the prune juice so I was using a syringe and I would get about 5-10mls a few times a day.

I hope Matilda settles for u. Enjoy the time with your mum.

Well must try n get to bed so I can get up n watch the soccer in the morning.

Sorry double post :)

Gee.. how often does this happen! I just wrote the longest post ever and WAMMO! it's gone...AGH!

Tilda, I have a a feeling it's teeth...my friend's baby who is super easy was giving her trouble with sleeping and she just discovered the two little teeth had pushed through this WE...check out her gums to see if anything is pushing through :) If Eva wakes up every day at 630 that would be awesome but usually it is more like 5am! Since she was sleeping later she started waking at 630, but she has gone back to her normal bedtime for two days now and up at 5 for a 530 feed since then...lol...Whatever, she might just be an early riser...

For poo, try to find a magnesium infused water - I used it sometimes, when Eva has not pooed or to steam veggies that might constipate...I think a bit of diluted juice helps, and avoid banana, apple, and potatoes because they solidify poo - When she had gastro I found that out! Give her a bit of water in a cup - I have been doing that since Eva started veggies too, Alison is right - remember that they are used to a liquid diet!!! It is also a good way to introduce the cup...Eva won't take water in a bottle but LOVES it in a cup, but be ready to change her afterwards - dribble, dribble :)

Alison - HAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPY belated BIRTHDAY!!!! Sorry to not have posted this WE but I have no comp upstairs anymore since going back to work - my comp is in the office, and I have a hard time being motivated enough to go to the office to get online - I only skim stuff on my phone...I hope it was gorgeous because you deserve a gorgeous day to celebrate your gorgeous self ;) - Hope Amelia gets better :( - Eva was like that a bit back - the electric pump is great for getting all that stuff out - I put phsyiologic water in her nose then suck all the stuff out..She HATES it but afterwards she can breathe, just make sure when you put the liquid that he head is turned sideways...poor thing...

And honey, once you go Iphone, you'll never go back - I have like 40 albums of Eva on my phone, all my music, agenda, emails etc...you'll love it! The iphone is great for "non-tech people" - Only IT people or serious computer fans complain of a lack of apps, since Apple has tons and tons!

Lani, nice to see you have some time to post and yay for the self settling!!!!! I am glad you got some time to take care of yourself, it makes such a difference!

Kanda, I am typing this post in word! It happens pretty damn often! :)

AFM - well, my little Eva is on all fours now about 85% of the time she spends on the floor, she gets up there or in plank position and rocks back and forth...She does the backwards crawl on her knees now!!! I dropped her off this morning at daycare and as soon as she was on the floor, she just bounced right up on to her knees and back and forth and back and forth - the girl who takes care of her looked at me and said, time for baby proofing - crawling is coming very soon! I got some new pics, I'llput up later...

We had father's day here in Belgium so we spent the We with DH and the ILs...We got a cool design birdfeeder of FIL - he loves putting bowls of food ont he terrace by his office window to have the gorgeous birds from this region come eat..but they are ugly and get full of water all the time, so he was really happy.

I got DH a full volume of all of the luxury watches on the market and left hand wrote a card from Eva and myself...They also made him a cute little picture frame at daycare with a pic of Eva and her little fingerprints were used to decorate the frame - super cute :)

My girl is just gorgeous, I can't take it! She has been up on all fours contantly, so affectionate and just wonderful and her week of not sleeping well is over, - I see why she was so restless, but remembe rI was saying it seems she is trying to crawl in bed? That was it, she is now on all fours and will be moving soon. She has also picked up speed in that walker of hers.

Next weekend Dh and I are staying in for baby proofing!

Have a gorgeous week girls!!!

(Eva is 7 months on the 19th!!! how fast does this fly??? - I am already thinking about my next one!)

BS - Go Eva with the almost-crawling! I can't believe that she's almost 7 months already!

kanda - Losing posts is the most annoying thing.

Alison - I hope Amelia is feeling a little bit better. Poor little thing getting another cold so quickly. I think it's supposed to be normal for them to get something like 7-10 colds in their first year of life.

Tilda - Glad that Matilda has pooed! Isn't it amazing how we all get obsessed with poo! I haven't given Liam anything like meat or pasta yet - just veggies and fruit, oats, rice cereal and rusks. I don't know when I'll introduce meat, need to look up some guidelines.

Hi to everyone else, as usual I have too damn much to scroll back through.

AFM - Holy crap, today I feel like someone has replaced my baby with another one. And in a good way.

Liam's always had short periods of being a "good" baby - content to be left alone for a little while, happy and laughing etc. But these have been interspersed with longer periods of being very fussy. Today, for the first time since he was born, he didn't have a single fussy period. Not even grizzling near the end of the day when he was getting tired. It's amazing how much difference getting enough sleep makes.

I think we can call the move into his room a success. He's now waking only once a night to feed, though he needed to be resettled once last night (because he had to burp and woke himself up). And he slept in until somewhere around 7:30am. Now I just need to stop waking up every two hours in anticipation of him waking up!

Next step is to work on his daytime naps and see if we can get him doing more than catnaps. But even if he doesn't, it's no huge deal right now - he wakes up from a catnap happy enough, and so long as he has enough total hours of naps, he seems to do fine.

I've been reading the 90 minute baby sleep book - really interesting stuff about their awake and sleep cycles being 90 minutes - so they'll be primed to go to sleep after being awake for 90 minutes or 3 hours etc. I'm going to keep an eye on Liam and see if it's true ad see if it helps getting him into longer naps.

Hi Rose - glad Liam is sleeping better for you, isn't it amazing what some sleep does for you. I've lost mine at the moment (see below) and it's killing me! Re the 90 minute thing, what's that about? Would be interested to hear that one. I've found since keeping Amelia awake a bit longer in the day her day naps are longer, she is having at least 1.5 hours but up to 2 hours as well (except for the at the moment with this darn cold). She can also last to 3 hours if needs be but can't go longer than that without getting cranky.

AFM - just a quick post as I'm shattered. This cold is worse than the last, poor thing can't breathe so is waking heaps in the night, I was up with her from 1.30 am to 3.30 am this morning solidly, she literally can't breathe through her nose so I have to get her upright until she goes to sleep again. Honestly, my eyeballs are hanging out of my head this morning - I got up a couple more times to check on her but the other times she managed to go back to sleep. I have no idea how long this cold will last but I have a feeling we're in for a good week of this at least. Unfortunately I think her nose is as bad as mine gets and not being able to give her any sudafed or anything means it might take longer I guess. I wish there was more I could do, I'm dousing her with Vicks, have the vaporizer on, using the Fess and the suction thing which she absolutely hates, what else can I do!

Anyway, I must go have a shower while I can, I think I'm going to have to have a sleep this afternoon when she does, of course she's sleeping less in the day too. She's so tired, she wants to go to sleep but as soon as she closes her eyes she wakes up again because of her damn nose - she can't even suck on her dummy because she can't breathe with it in. Makes me realise how much she likes her dummy at night! Wish me luck girls, I think I'm going to need it to get through this week. Honestly I feel like I just get a couple of good weeks and then she gets sick, first gastro, then a cold, then wonder week and teething and now teething and another cold, grrrr! No matter how crap she must feel she still manages to smile and she has learnt to clap hands now, when we sing that clap handies clap handies till daddy comes home song she does it, it's so cute. How can you be mad when they're sick.
xx

Hi Alison - poor little Amelia! It's awful when they're so sick. Matilda's last cold was quite bad too and lasted a bit over a week. But the worst was over within the week. You're doing absolutely everything you can. So just keep it up and it will pass.

Hi Rose - it's great to hear how well Liam is going. He seems to be going from strength to strength! I find the same thing as Alison with the day naps - that I'm better off keeping her up a bit longer to make sure she's tired enough to have a good sleep. Otherwise she just wakes up when I put her down or after 30 to 40 minutes.

Hi BS - I hope it is just teeth that's unsettling her. It's always hard when you can't quite put your finger on it. Sounds like Eva is getting really quite mobile. And that all fathers and grandfathers got a good spoiling.

Hi Lani - I will have to try the syringe. And maybe a sippee cup too.

Kanda - No fair that you lost your post. It's such a pain. And we would have loved to hear how you're going.

AFM - Well a bit of a useless morning. I dragged Matilda out to go to a new mother's group right around the time she was due for her first sleep. I thought if I don't just go today I never will and I thought she might fall asleep in the pram....but no. So I get to the cafe where it's supposed to be and there is no-one there!! And I have one grumpy baby on my hands. So I trudge back home with Matilda screaming most of the way and people staring and giving me dark looks. At least she went down quickly and deeply when we did get home. I'm going through another one of my crises of self-confidence re feed to sleep versus self-settling. I was just skimming through a book I have called the Dream Baby Guide and Matilda wakes up at all the classic times that babies that don't self settle wake up during the night - around 10, 2 and 5 (and more if I'm unlucky). So, do I just bide my time and trust that it will change (which DH reckons will happen) or do I bite the bullet and do some self-settling/controlled crying? A friend has just gone down the controlled crying route and it took a week. She said it was heartbreaking but that it worked. My concern is not that it disturbs my sleep but that it disturbs Matilda's sleep. I see these awful references in the media and in "expert books" that link "sleep disorders" in babies with drug addiction later in life. Oh the guilt!! Don't the media and book publishers know how to press your buttons and sell books!! For those that have tried the self-settling techniques, was there LOTS of crying? Do you think it was worth it? Or do you think you just go back to square one when the next WW comes around, cold or teething? Someone at the door. See you later on!

Tilda - I don't know if this will help at all, but I've never done any kind of controlled crying with Liam (though I've thought about it - I do hate the idea of it, though). And I feed to sleep almost all of the time still. He will occasionally go to sleep with some rocking, but invariably he needs to be fed. I've been working on feeding him until he's *sleepy* instead of totally asleep, which is helping I think.

Other than that, I've done nothing, and he just started learning to soothe himself back to sleep on his own at night. The move into his own room has helped him so much. Most nights I actually hear him wake and cry a bit, then he goes quiet. I think something that's really helped him has been the fact that he's started to suck his thumb, too, so he has an easy method of self soothing.

I'm still slightly in shock here, because he actually slept through the night last night - almost twelve hours of solid sleep without a wake up. He did stir a bit at 6:30am, but went back to sleep for an hour before he started calling out. I was crazy engorged when he finally got up, though!

On a tangent with feeding, I've noticed recently that he's started to drop off how much he's been breastfeeding. He's on solids three times a day right now - but not huge portions, and he doesn't always eat them all. I'm just hoping that it's him not needing the frequent feeds (maybe growing out of his reflux?) and not him trying to wean.

Hello all!

Alison - oh so sorry to hear poor little Amelia has another cold. Isn't it awful when they can't even suck their dummy, they love it so much and it brings them so much pleasure and they can't even do that :( I hope she gets better soon. Hang in there, it will be over soon :hug:

Rose - I am soooooooooooooooo happy for you and Liam!!! :dance: Finally you're both getting a better sleep! Maybe its just the solids are messing around with his appetite?

Tilda - Oh you poor thing, why did no one else turn up? Good on you for making the effort :clap: I haven't tried any controlled crying. Usually when I put him down he'll either have a whinge for 5-10 mins (but not crying), or he'll be chatting and messing around for a while. BUT having said that, he has recently had a few episodes of real loud crying when we put him down. He never seems to respond to any sort of cuddling, rocking, etc to sleep (much to my disappointment :() so all I can do is keep going back in to give him his dummy, eventually he will go back to sleep. Maybe I should just try and pick him up once and see what happens? Normally it gets him even more cranky.

BS - wow! Sounds like Eva is really developing! So she gets up on her knees and hands and rocks backwards and forwards? Glad you and your DH had a lovely Fathers Day! Made me start thinkinga bout ours, but thats not till September...still, I shoujld start getting soem ideas! When are you thinking of having your next one?

Kanda - bummer about your lost post! I usually do Cntrl+A then Cntrl+C to copy it all right before I hit submit. That way if it doesn't work, I still have it saved.

Lani - glad Jett has been able to self settle! Has he continued the trend?

Willow & Suz - gosh, what do you dress your bubs in when the egg is blue? Just curious, I do wonder what I should do if it ever gets freezingly freezing!

Hello to anyone I have missed!

AFM- Wish I could say that sleep is great this end. Unfortunately, it has improved from waking every hour, but only slightly. He now wakes about 10pm, then between 2-6am its usually every 40 mins to 1.5 hours. When he wakes at 10pm, he usually self settles, but the other times if I don't go in to him he just ends up waking up and chatting, etc. I don't know what to do. His day sleeps have got worse too...rarely sleeps more than 40 mins at a time. If I try to put him down for his 3rd nap of the day (about 4pm, he can take up to nearly an hour to fall asleep!!!!) so I"ve given up on that sleep for the past couple of days. But all this issue with sleep is really doing my head in :( He used to be such a good sleeper :(

On a positive note, DH took a sickie today (naughty!) and we went to Ikea. Got a bunch of stuff...they did end up having the smock bibs, on special for $5 for a pack of 2!!! And I thought my Target buy was a bargain! So stocked up on those. Also bought one of their highchairs, as they seem to get rave reviews. And a floor mat/quilty thing, and some placemats, and some bibs....and prolly other stuff but i can't remember! I LOVE Ikea!

I think I'm going to call up the local Playgroup this week, to see if I can get Michael in. I know he's a bit young, but it will be good for him still...and I really need to make more friends. Our Mothers Group is beginning to peter out, and I'm worried I'll get really lonely if I don't start getting out and seeing more people.

OH!!! And remember I was saying about DH cousin who's having IVF?? Well, she got a positive!!!! On her first go!!!! Its early days yet, obviously, but thats got to be good getting a positive!

DH mum is not doing so well. She has gone back to being Neutropenic (no immune system), which is bad in itself - Michael can't see her as he has just had his needles. But she has developed an ulcer on her tongue, which is not healing itself. DH got a call from his dad to call and ambulance for his mum this morning as she was having trouble swallowing and breathing. turned out to be a false alarm, but its pretty scary. She had another bone marrow test last week and we get the results of those on Thursday.

Hi girls, just a quick one to have a whinge....oh but first Rose:happyforyou: I am so glad for you that Liam is transformed!!!!:D

Well as for us, I am completely over it! Harry's coming down with another cold, or maybe it's the same one just round 2? Last night he was having floor play and all of a sudden he just started crying and was quite upset for an hour or so, had a bit of a sleep on me woke up cranky again and wasn't realyy moving his right arm. I think he may have hurt it somehow while he was rolling around, or maybe he strained something else that's effecting his arm, I'm not sure. He had a bath and was a bit better and is a bit better again today but still not right so we're getting it looked at tomorrow morning.
Also I lost my purse Grrrr!!!!!!!!! So that means cancelling everything and getting new stuff, but I pics of the boys in there and I'm not sure if I have copies of a couple of them from when the boys were little:( my own fault I guess. I think my purse got thrown out with the maccas rubbish last week, MIL trying to help(I wish she wouldn't!) Not her fault I guess, I would have put it in one of the bags to carry it in from the car, seeing as I use a baby bag now I don't bother taking it on trips like that and just carry my purse, won't do that again!
Harry's been grumpy and distractible today and I just spent 2 1/2 hrs getting him to sleep, put him to bed then MIL comes in and ILs have to have a discussion in the laundry right next to his room whilst banging the door and he was awake again before I even got out of the room. Seriously I have never met adults that are as ignorant as them! Then if I was to say anything to them MIL ends up in tears apologising, then the next day she does it all over again, I just don't know how to get through to them??!! They can make all the noise they want just not right near his room or outside his door FFS!!!
Better go now and deal with Mr Squirmy on my lap, sorry to complain but I'm really over it.

Rose! Wooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Seriously, I feel like Eva and Liam are so similar! She changed so much when she moved to her room! I am so happy for you - trust me you'll get used to sleeping through soon enough! :) You're going to feel like a new woman soon! I am really so happy for you!

Tilda, sucks about that mother's group...I don't think it is wrong to feed to sleep - I never did but recently Eva tuckers herself out so much that she generally ends up asleep at the end of her last feed...Do what is good for her. At the same time, I do the self settling and it works fine, she has only whined a bit like Michael and once the dummy is back in she just settles back down...But she is a belly sleeper which makes a HUGE difference - my friend's baby has started rolling over to belly sleep and now sleeps straight from 7-830AM! she actually has to wake her up in the morning to drop her off at daycare since she started belly sleep...have you tried that with Matilda? Again, you can try for a nap and see what happens...They are pretty strong now so it should not be a prob.

Alison, your poor baby :( Eva is also blocked up and has to be settled to sleep lately, but I suction her nose with the physio serum before bed every night or else she also wakes up constantly not being able to breathe...I also noticed that she is slightly more comfy in a slight seated position and the first few days when the cold was worse I put her in bed with a little pillow to prop her up (not at night but for naps...) and found that she slept and breathed better, maybe try that? Sending out get well vibes to her!

Beany, I think Michael is just going through the difficult 6 month sleep thing. Eva is on and off since hitting 6 months too, she seems to be settling back in now, but she def has way less sleep period now - She has two little naps max during the day and plays constantly - they are getting bigger! I hope MIL gets better :( It must be so hard for you guys to see her not well and so hard for her not to see Michael...you guys should skype with her so she can see him on video - I do that with my fam in NYC.

Willow, :( It is so annoying sometimes when you have people all in your space and you just need to keep your baby in a controlled environment! And some people just don't get it! They forget everything five minutes after you tell them...How much longer do you have before you're in your own place? Just take a breath and count down, you're almost there!!!! Put a sign up on the door of the laundry saying "Don't forget Harry is next door :) " or something - maybe that will help them remember without you having to get angry?

AFM, just booked a ticket to NYC - my mother called complaining that she can't take it anymore - not seeing Eva, that is! So we will be in NYC from the 1st - 10th of July then we get back and leave for the south of france on the 15-31st! I can't wait!!! NYC for shopping and all of my favorite beauty salons and hair salons then vacation in the sun! yay!

I need to get all of the logistics in order for the trips, but once I organize everything it should be great.

Eva is still going strong up on all fours and is reversing while up on her knees, she advances a bit but nothing that seems to be on purpose, but she is figuring it out! There is a little vid on fb of her bouncing up and down on her knees...that was last week so she is doing it A LOT more now!

I am also going today to buy her a bunch of new toys - she is ready for more lights and buttons and I will donate her baby toys to the daycare :)

Have a great day girls!

xoxo

I thought about that BS I already have a sign on the door from the kitchen to the lounge saying "Please keep the door shut" I feel like a bit of a bossy b**** if I start putting more signs up. They're going awayon the weekend for a couple of weeks and by the time they get back the extension should be done...hopefully

Hi girls

Kawa hope all is going well with the business. Where do u post where you will be for markets?

.

---

I have been just advertising on face book about where i am.
as not many people on here are from around my area...

Hi Girls, sorry this will be quick as I have a grumpy cold ridden baby on my hands! I'm so friggin exhausted right now. Thanks for all your tips, I'm trying all of them and there's not much else I can do, already tried the elevated mattress, doing the vaporizer, the suction thing (which she absolutely hates and upsets her which makes her nose worse when she cries) - I swear I'm going to poke her brains out cause she moves at the wrong time. Anyway, I just have to ride it out, no sleep for me for a while I fear.

Hi Tilda - until about 4 weeks ago Amelia was still being rocked and cuddled to sleep, to teach her to self settle I was dreading it but it was much easier than I thought and it only took a week and she was doing it on her own. I just put her down - on her tummy as that's her comfiest position and pat her bum and say shhhhhh shhhh until she'd fall asleep - at first she fought it so I just kept at it and I also use the dummy but you don't have to do that, it was quite frustrating at times and at the start was taking me up to an hour but by the 4th/5th day I was down to about 5/10 minutes and then eventually I'd just put her down pat her bum and say goodnight etc and walk out with her just having her music softly in the background and her cot mobile or aquarium thing on. Give it a go and persevere, it's worth it believe me, she will do it. I thought it was impossible as well but it's not. Good luck.

Oh and Kawazuki, are we friends on FB? Can you send me a request if not, Alison Lewkowski. Thanks!

Sorry girls, really have to go, I've had hardly any time to post or get on FB properly at all this week other than to read, not write! I just want this cold to be over with - 2 colds in 4 weeks plus the gastro earlier on, not fair poor thing! Love you all. xx

Beany it must have been the day for ikea cause I went today too. How exciting for DH's cousin positive first round I've is fantastic I hope all goes smoothly for her. Not so good for his mum. Fingers crossed all is ok.

Alison poor little ameila. Try putting some vicks on the soles of her feet then putting socks on before bed. Jett had a runny nose a few weeks back and after one night was heaps better and only a few nights all cleared up.

Tilda bummer about mothers group.

Rose yay for Liam and his sleeping. U must be feeling great.

BS clever little Eva. I am jealous of your jet setting. NYC and Sth France how lovely.

Willow poor Harry. Hope he feels better soon. Maybe try him with the vicks on the feet too. ARGH about your wallet what a bummer.

Kawasaki I will have to check out where u will be for markets n hopefully will be able to check one out.

AFM we went to ikea today n got some bibs too also some cups and toy boxes. Also got some great bargains in target for myself. Jett has been a little better I still seem to be up twice for a feed during the night. I normally give last feed about 9pm then he is awake about 1am and again at 5am. I feed him, do u think I should be???
The self settling is going ok he has done it a few times now or with just a little patting or yesterday we were out and it was just a little rocking of the pram. I have noticed a great improvement.

Jett is 6mths old today. Wow the time has flown. We had a cake for him tonight at the IL's.

I had told my work that I would be returning at the start of August. Thinking about it makes me sick. I don't know what to do :( I would love to never go back but I have to at some stage. Argh

Well must be off to bed now talk soon.

Sorry if I missed anyone :hug:
