Jetta – Though Oliver’s breastfed, we’re really still just demand feeding. I have no idea how many feeds he has in a day or how often he feeds. I used to know exactly when Noah was due for a feed and planned everything around it. Unfortunately for Ollie, he’s kind of got to fit in around us this time. Helps that a feed takes 10minutes with him where Noah used to take 60mins. He generally wakes around 7-7.30 and is in bed for the night around 8-8.30. Oliver responds to some noises (like high pitched “kissy” noises, and Noah slamming something) but I don’t notice him turning to a lot. I wouldn’t be too concerned about him, perhaps he just doesn’t quite have the head/neck control needed to turn to every noise?

Sloane – I agree with MissE, whatever works for you and Corey has to be “the right thing”.

Sorry for the lack of personals, though I do have an excuse this time. After my pity post last week Oliver and I both got the cold/flu from hell! Let’s put it this way, Noah, who is almost 3, has been to the doctors 5 times in his entire life (two of those times were due to open wounds), but I felt the need to take Ollie to the doctors for this cold based on how horrible I felt with it. Lucky I did because it turned out he has a double ear infection, which I had absolutely no idea about. So he’s on antibiotics 3 times a day, which he hates and I have to force into him. He also got put on Zantac for reflux, as he still seems to have bouts of horrible screamy pain. Then Noah had diarrhoea on Sunday, which got passed on to both DP and I as gastro. Somehow however, DP is “dying” and had to go to the doctors, yet I managed to survive having gastro, the cold/flu, sleeping on the floor, and breastfeeding Oliver overnight. He got to sleep most of yesterday while I disinfected everything and looked after both boys. Seriously, how do men survive?

ETA - Ok, I should not type this out while watching repeats of Project Runway on TV! We were still on Page 18, when I started this, so I apologise for the horrible lack of personals!
