wow, learning left and right before three! that's amazing!

Ann, thanks for explaining about how to feed two at once. Excellent that there is a special bf-ing pillow to help you do it. I used the football hold in the early stages, until bilby got too long. Are you able to feed them when out of home? like at the shops? When i was first learning how to bf, i NEEDED my comfy sofa at home, my special pillows and found it really hard to feed when not at home. i would do it if i had to, but got sore arms and back.

Sounds wonderful that both of your girls latch on so well.

i can understand your intrepidation at travelling interstate with three very young children. i think for me, i would need AT LEAST to have one adult per child, to do that.

AJP, congrats to Sophie for swimming like a little fish, way to go Sophie.
bilby has been 86cm (since April) and 12.5kg, still got the chubby face (i suspect from the sucking to get the breastmilk), even though she eats like a sparrow.
I agree, WHERE has the time gone? i've been checking out kindy options too.

Yeh TL, i have been wondering too, if you heard any more about Chino's allergy test.

We get the results of the two part speech therapy assessment back soon, looking forward to finding those out. I feel like i'm living with a mute child. She is constantly trying to communicate with me (and everyone else) with mime, gestures, acting it out. So few words and most of those i have to translate for other people e.g she says "boo" and points at at blue item, i know she's telling me the colour. Other times, boo means other things to her. So many letters just don't come out. Boops instead of boots. Gar instead of Car. Dah instead of Star.

i wondered if her liking and chewing up (for 20 mins) a tiny bit of meatball, (made of mince) but not being physically able to swallow it, might have some meaning, as to why so little speech, but the speech therapist had no idea what to suggest, when i told her about that.

the lovely Gymbaroo teacher has just had breast cancer surgery, so i doubt we will be going to any more Gymbaroo classes. Can't believe this has happened, she is the loveliest person and teacher, really inspirational, the kind of teacher you don't often come across. Has made "a difference" to SO many children and their families.
