BG - Hmmm, I wonder if you are right about Kyson not wanting the EBM from a bottle when the "real-deal" was right in front of him. Maybe next time I should get DH to try... Can't do it tonight though because DH is DJing tonight. I miss him because he gave up DJing on Fri and Sat nights after Kyson was born (just kept the Sun nights), but this week he did guest spots on both Fri and Sat night, so I've missed him all weekend. Gosh I soooo shouldn't complain with the way things are for you in regards to your DH being away though!
Kyson is still co-sleeping with us, but he's been in his own cot since he was about 2 months old. His cot is up against my side of the bed with the side off so that his matress is flush with mine. Makes feeding during the night eay because I can just sit up and pull him across. I often wonder if he wakes more because he's next to us, or because he's just gotten used to me tending to him so quickly, but I guess I'd prefer to have him wake more often in the night at this stage than move him to his own room. He would probably be ok, but I don't think I'm ready, lol. We're aiming to move him to his nursery at about 8 months. Hopefully by then his feeds will be less during the night because I don't like the idea of getting right out of bed during the night hehe.

Nicky - Oh gosh! 20-30 minutes?! And I was complaining about 2 hourly waking and feeding! It's hard enough staying bright and alert during the day looking after one baby after a rocky night, so I can't even imagine how you are feeling with the two Don't feel bad for having a cry, it's a wonderful outlet. Cry as much as you feel you need to. Even if you didn't get to celebrate your anniversary, I hope you enjoyed it in your heart.

Amy - DH is great in the mornings. Even during the week when he gets up for work he still generally gets Kyson up for his first nappy change and play. Kyson gets sleepy quickly in the morning, so comes back to bed with me for a feed and sleep in time for DH to get himself and the DSS's ready for the day. He loves the morning time with Kyson because Kyson is always such a happy, giggly boy in the morning. The rest of the day it's pretty much all me though most of the time. Kyson has become a rather velcro baby and won't go to anyone for most of the day (DH is just lucky in the morning, lol). By the time DH gets home from work Kyson will go to him for maybe 5-10 minutes. And the other day I realised DH has never managed to put Kyson to bed when he lay him down in the cot with his head at the wrong end, LOL! Then I do all the night feeds and settling so that DH can sleep. He's started a new job which is pretty intense (CIO of BOM) so I like to let him get as much rest as he can

Jacinta - Kyson has dicovered the squeal too. Very cute, but VERY loud, lol. He talked all through mother's group on Friday (except when he slept) and was so noisy, haha!
Finger's crossed number 2 is just as good a sleeper as Jamie. I don't think you are crazy at all with wanting another baby already. I was joking about the next baby the same day I had Kyson. I would be TTCing now if I could, but I have an appointment I have to go to in a months time before we can do anything. I saw someone in a parents room last week that had a preggie belly that looked like mine did, and I got jealous!

Naomi - No matter what gets said anywhere on BB, NEVER EVER feel guilty for giving Bailey solids when you did! It sounds like you don't feel any regret which is fabulous, and I would hate for you to let what anyone else says (on here and IRL) make you second-guess yourself. Bailey is doing so well, and starting solids has been fantastic for him The same goes for everything else that you are doing with Bailey. If rocking is good for you all, then rock away my dear I bounce Kyson to sleep every time he sleeps (day and night) and we are quite happy with the arrangement (as are my new buns-of-steel ).
I think you are right about them just turning away when they are full. Kyson even does that with the breast. Sometimes I'm not convinced he's finished his feed and will try to entice him to have more by rubbing the nipple over his mouth, but if he's done he just clamps those gorgeous little lips together!

Vic - Congratulations for little CJ!!! What wonderful news. She's ging to have the brace off in no time! I bet she'll even defy the odds and be one of the first of our babies to crawl
