Ellie- you poor thing. Hang in there, before you know it, it will be over and you will have your bubba.

2 things I have to share: I was eating a bowl of cicken casserole with brown rice for lunch(leftovers) and E LOVED it. She kept wanting more and more and was upset when it was finished.

AND

She has now bitten me 4 times really HARD when feeding. I am thinking that if she keeps it up I will have to wean

Megie - L is biting, pinching and scratching. He loves pinching my nipples and he does it so hard that milk squirts out and I have scratches all over me. It is so awful and I always say "no" sternly but he clearly doesn't mean to do it so no amount of telling him off is working!! I find myself getting angry at him because he is hurting me but then I feel bad because I know he doesn't mean it.

Holly - I know how you feel. It is the first time that I have growled at DD. She has to learn biting is just not an option

[Kailani]

Yes the biting is a definite no no. I always say "NO do not bite, that hurts!" lol but with the scratching and pinching he seems to just do it without meaning to...the scratching in particular seems to be a comfort thing. The pinching...well he does that more when he's frustrated and unsettled. So annoying and painful!

Tonight he is having zuchini fritters for dinner - just cooked zuchini with cheese and covered in bread crumbs. He's never had cheese before!

Today for breakfast he had oats with pear and for lunch hommus on cruskits. Because he's been sick he was really off his food yesterday and hardly ate so was back to the mild smelling breastmilk poos. Tomorrow is going to be a different story though!

Hi girls,

I hope everyone (babies and mums included) are feeling better. I am getting better but feeling really exhausted. Glandular Fever crossed my mind but I had that when I was a teenager and I dont htink you can get it twice.

I have been feeling really funy today though with bf. I dont know why but today everytime DD has wanted to feed of me I am kind of resenting her. Its not that I dont want to feed her, its more that I just want my own space. Has anyone else ever felt like this. I am hoping that it is just today and that I will get over it. It is the only day I have felt like this.

I gave DD baked beans mashed up on toast this morning. For lunch she had tomatoe and basil chicken with rice (loved it) and for dinner yoghurt and a jar of puree pear. (and of course all themilk feeds in between! She is in bed now.

I think we have dropped a day sleep as well. She is only wanting 2 day sleeps, absolutely screams the house down if I try to put her down for another sleep!

Okay just so I have an idea, I have a couple of questions!

1. Sitting?
2. Crawling?
3. Standing up holding furniture?
4. How many meals a day?
5. What do you do for play time at home?
6. Still have a dummy?
7. Saying words?
8. clapping?
9. waving?

Ali - Gland Fever can also cause Epstin Bar virus which can lead to tiredness etc. I also have times when I want to have my own space... Are your iron levels okay? Have you thought about having a full blood workup to rule out anything else.
