Hi girls,

Happy Birthday b and Insom for yesterday!! Hope you girls had a lovely day and got spoiled! Love the month of May for birthdays, mine is on Mother's Day would you believe!!!!!

Charly's mum, Cam is also getting too big for his bassinette. I've bought him a bigger cradle a couple of days ago and he loves to be swung to sleep in it! It's so much bigger too

Meercat, poor 'lil Tiah! I dread taking Cam for his vaccination neeldles soon, I know he'll hate it and cry! Got the panadol on stand by

Teresa, Cam also has a mixture of good and bad days, I'm hoping it will improve from 8 weeks or so. Sometimes he just cries for hours on end and I'm tearing my hear out from the stress, although it seems to happen on days when he doesn't sleep much so I know he's over tired. No matter what I try, he won't sleep for longer than 10 minutes. I just hate it when he cries, it breaks my wee heart to see him so upset And as for your friend, I can understand where she is coming from but hopefully they will work our what is causing her m/c and she'll have a bub of her own soon. My AF has not arrive as yet.....waiting, waiting.....

Jelly, Cam sleeps for 3-3.5 hours at a time, including over night, but I've noticed that over the last few nights he has slept for up to 5 hours. I have increased his formula to 150 ml (from 120) and when he takes in the whole lot he sleeps longer. He might be also recovering from a day of little sleep too, so I'm not too sure.....Hopefully your little guy sleeps longer and longer soon!

AFM, I continue to have very restless evening times with my wee man, and very little sleep during the day from him. I was convinced he had a cold (blocked nose, raspy sound from him chest, excessive crying, not finishing his bottles etc ) so I finally took him to the doc today, and he has severe thrush in his mouth!! I have to admit it's been pretty bad for a week or so, but I thought it was from the milk.....Turns out it's thrush. So I have some gel I have to put in his mouth 3 times a day. The doc said that could explain why he doesn't always finish his bottles and the unsettled behaviour. I hope he's onto something....we'll soon see!

Ho to everyone else!
