miss E - Zac didn't seem to have any reaction to the needles at all this time, thank goodness!

ss_storm - changed Zac to stage 2 formula recently too, but it seemed to have the opposite effect on him :-) Fortunately that has settled down now. Plenty of people use prune juice with babies - you may just want to water it down a bit.

The place yesterday does what they call 'responsive settling', definitely not CIO. What was good about it was having somebody there saying, "yes, he's crying, but that's not a distressed cry, he's just making noise, now he's starting to calm down, or he's getting more unhappy go in and settle him" Listening to the other babies I could really see how we react so much faster and more emotionally to our own babies, so that was really helpful.

Of course, he woke up screaming after twenty minutes this morning...
