Hi Guys!
Happy New Year everyone and I can see that everyone had a lovely Christmas.

Sloane - so good about Corey being on all 4's! I can't believe it. Sam is doing this bottom thrusting thing at the moment which is so funny!!

jasp - we have been experiencing some things which I can't work out if they are solids related or not but I know what you mean. I feel like I am back at day 1 all over again.

Miss E - sounds like you have been very busy! Hope things settle down soon!
Debee - glad you are back! I am sorry to hear about your time, I think being a first time mum is hard enough let alone not knowing what you can do and what is wrong. I am glad that you finally had some help and someone heard the crying, I think a lot of times people just think you are carrying on but you know that something is wrong. I hope things are improving.

Lovelycate- I hope you have a great holiday! I love NZ, my mum is from there and we go there alot. Have a great time!

Sorry for not being on for ages and lack of personals. We have had a 2 week break which has been great. We have loved spending every minute with Sam and I have had to go back to work 2 days a week again and I am miserable. We run our own business so this year I will start 3 days, hubbys mum looks after Sam two days and hubby will look after Sam one day so we both get a break from work as he had a hard time without me last year. I don't mind that, but I just miss Sam so much and can't express as much milk as he would have if off the boob so I stress out about him not getting enough. Can you give formula sometimes??
AFM, Sam is doing well and growing all the time, he is really taking in everything around him and everyone always comments on how placid he is. He has started rolling and sits up for a few seconds! We are having issues with settling at night. Settles for each day sleep (3) but then at night he howls and howls and won't settle. The only thing that helps is a top up again after 20 minutes of crying which builds up and then I go up, try dummy, mobile etc and then after 1 hour of rocking etc give him a top up, it calms him down and then he gets himself off to sleep. I am so confused about how much solids I should be giving him, I am probably overanalysing but I feel like I am back at day 1 all over again. I have had him on solids for almost a month just a small amount (1 tablespoon of farex or fruit or vegies) at lunch time and wanted to take it slow. Since that time is when he started not settling at night with wind etc now just doesn't settle. I have just in the last two days introduced solids in the morning. He is having 5 feeds a day and was looking at taking out the 10pm feed as I didn't think he needed it, hence introducing solids in the morning to increase to two feeds. Anyway, he projectile vomited 3 times in a row yesterday so not sure why but was happy anyway. Anyway, I don't really know where I am going with this!! But I am trying to read him but I have no idea!! I will stop babbling now. Ahh....

Hope everyone is well and will try to be on here more often.
