hi sarah

just a note on the capsule - is it one that goes in the car - i gather it is. i hired one of those capsules that go in and out of the car and it was in the instructions that you should not leave a baby in it for longer than about 2hrs - yours may be different - check the instructions or maybe aske your health nurse. maybe you could take the capsule out and just put zander in the pram next to the bed - (although i think i once read the sids does not recommend this as it could be suffocating for bubs in an enclosed area) i have a friend and she had all 3 children in prams.

have you got a basinet - i got one from a friend it was great next to the bed and quite often when lani woke (and she didn't need feeding) i used to put my arm out and rock it - was wonderful, i also took it around the house so she was out with us getting used to all the noise during the day. i hired one with my first two children it was great.

sorry to intrude on the forum girlies - can't help myself reading all about all your beautiful babies - even though lani is beautiful and still a baby i am still so so clucky i just adore newborns they rely so much on us for their well being.
