lou I think arching the back can be a sign of tiredness as well so it might not be a sore belly...... Anyone else know this for sure??? I'm still pretty new to all this like many of us are!!
Hi Emma,

I'm still pretty new to this stuff also but yes I believe that is right -
  • Irritability
  • Glassy eyes and looking away
  • Finger-splaying or saluting
  • Squirming appearing to sit on air
  • Back and neck arching
  • Frantic jerky movements
  • Tongue thrusting
  • Grimacing frowning and grunting
  • Yawning sneezing hiccups
  • Paleness mottling flushing and bluish colour around the mouth
  • Changes in vital signs
  • Gagging or spitting-up

Full information on baby cues is located at Baby Cues - What Is My Baby Saying? I know that it helped DW and myself.

AFM - Mary still has not adjusted to outside life quite yet, still having awful trouble at night time especially for DW - I seem to have this frustrating ability once I'm asleep to stay asleep no matter what happens which I know utterly annoys (rightly so) DW. We traveled into the city to register DD birth & did the medicare thing last week so she is all organised. Just need to get child care arranged and we are done (should have orangised that before she was born ) .
