Deb - I've bought some Bauer's colic relief. I like that it's natural, can be used on bubs of any age, and doesn't have to be given every feed whether they need it or not (Some over the counter meds at the chemist do, Infacol I think is one?). I used donnalix with Noah a little too, most of the mums in my mother's group then swore by it. It is a pharmacy one though, and was a bit hard to find.

As for the dummy, don't stress! I always said Noah would never have one and ended up giving in. He did become really addicted, like REALLY addicted, but I figured he'd have to get rid of it eventually. The way I see it, you don't tend to see too many 5 year olds running around with one in their mouths. He actually threw his in the toilet last Sunday (trying to hide it from daddy) and we took that as our opportunity! So far, so good!

Oliver's sleeping in our room (obviously, his nursery still isn't bloody built!), and probably will for the first 3 months or so. Noah slept in our room for the first 3 months and it worked well for us. I think this is purely a personal choice though, if you feel comfortable with Annie sleeping in her nursery now, there's no reason you should wait. On the other hand, if you want her in with you until she's 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, nothing wrong with that either!

Anyway, sorry for the lack of other personals, had a crappy week here, Noah had gastro ontop of everything else and I just don't have the energy. Hope everyone's well!!
