Malyna - I really hope you get a better MCHN next visit. DS didn't put on any weight at all (30g) between 8-9 months. But then last month he put on nearly half a kilo. They go up and down. Please don't stress about his weight. He's a little speed demon!! I hope you start to get somewhere with the sleep. Once you're getting more sleep you'll definitely feel better. I'd love to take that bamboo off your hands if it's still avail. Do you still have my addy? I'll pm it to you again if not.

Nai - Thanks for the light at the end of the tunnel. I keep thinking that things should improve (hopefully!) by the time he's 12 months old.

Shell - That's sad that DD is no longer in your room! But you got 11 months. Be glad for the time you had, I only had 4 months . It's also a bit sad that you're clearing out baby gear (IMO) - hope you're keeping a few things for the memories.

Olive - Enjoy the pokes

Pinny - Oh poor L. I dunno much about babies vomitting - DS possits on me all the time still (twice today) after feeding but that's not vomitting. Cows milk should be ok at this age. I thought it was between 9-12 months ok?? But if it's not cows milk, then it's gastro and I'm not wishing that on you guys!! Hope he's feeling much better overnight and your trip away is relaxing.

Holly/Ali/Olive and others I've forgotten with non-sleeping, in-pain babies sending you all a massive Look after yourselves girls!!

AFU - Slightly better couple of days here. DS is back to feeding 4 hourly (approx) overnight (although still doesn't want to go to bed on time).

ETA - Ali I have also been thinking of Tracey and Milana (more than usual lately). Milana's birthday will be very hard.
