Hi girls

wow this is a busy forum now, i so miss it lol - i am to clucky for my own good. firstly a huge congratulations to you all, your babies are just all beautiful and you all sound like you a doing really well.

i just wanted to say to colleen that lani has a comp bottle (1 per day) at her last feed 7pm at night - this has been since she was 5mths old, i had a bit of trial and error as i tried s26 and karicare which my others used to have but it didn't agree with lani and she has the nan gold which is great for her and it doesn't smell as strong - check out the breastfeeding/solids forum there are quite a few posts on different formula's there.

also deb i remember wow back 7yrs ago (was it really that long) at our anti natal classes - someone asked re temps and the midwife said a babies room should be around 18 degrees - hope that helps, for all 3 children have had a may baby, july baby and september baby (so have had cold nights as bubs) i have had the bassinet with a flat sheet and top sheet (just cotton) wrapped bubs up (either in muslin or a strethcy t-shirty wrap thingy which lani adores - still lol) then had a cot cellular blanket (folded in half) then a bunny rug also folded in half over the top. if you are worried about them being to cold or hot just put your finger behind there neck and you can tell if they are to sweaty or to cold - you will get the hang of it, i have also read that you go buy what you have in bed but have 1 extra blanket.

anyway congratulations girls i will go back to my 6-9mth thread, before you know it you girls will be there and lani will be 1 (boo hoo) and don't worry it won't be long and you will forget about all those sleepless nights - well you still get them but not as constant lol.
