Rainforest - DS does similar to what the other girls have posted. He's had 4 sleeps today and I'm currently trying for a 5th. He will likely need another feed before he goes down for the night and he can take anywhere up to an hour to settle after the last feed. I can usually get a 1.5-2hour sleep out of him first thing in the morning. After that, it's very rare that he sleeps more than 45 mins to an hour. He needs more settling/resettling as the day wears on. We are using a dummy - occasionally he will go down without it. I have tried white noise and rocking his basinette - sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. The sling was good for quite a while but he is getting a bit big for it now and doesn't have the head control yet for the other one. He is awake progressively longer as the day wears on too. So for the first feed he is usually only awake 30-45mins but by the end of the day he can be awake 2-2.5hours and on a bad day, won't sleep in the afternoon/evening at all no matter what I try.
Nai - Bummer about being in quarantine! I really hope it's not swine (or another serious) flu. I agree about the hype. Other countries like the US and Canada are now just letting it run it's course like any other flu.
Ali - It never rains but it pours huh? You poor thing. That would have irritated mother teresa darl! Hopefully your DP's chat will work.
Shell - You must be exhausted only getting a couple of hours sleep at a time. Hope it's over soon and Em starts to go longer between overnight feeds.
Laura - Hello!! Well done on getting to the gym and the weightloss! Glad you're happy being single.
Meg - Is your DS wanting to eat yoghurt now so he can grow up big like a lion? lol!!
AJP - What does ringworm look like? Is it itchy for her? Poor little poppet.

AFM - Went to see the CFHN today for me and Jacob got weighed a day early. He's now 5.4kg and has grown another 2cm (in two weeks!!). Head circ is another 1cm bigger too. Feeling more relaxed about his feeding now. It's funny how I kind of knew he was probably ok because he looks happy most of the time, lots of wet/dirty nappies, bright eyes, alert etc but knowing the numbers (that he's consistently put on almost 200g a week for quite a few weeks now) makes me feel so much better. Why can't I just trust my instincts?
