KOAG, sounds like a growth spurt to me... Hang in there, they're short lived

I only remembered after a friend of mine announced she was moving to Taiwan and I saw the Guardian.

Sorry Fitz

I just saw the Gruffaloeuf on facebook - JEALOUS!

I got my friend (she got me, i was avoiding her for weeks ) to help with DS' egg cos i'm totally uncreative, and they did a rabbit, which consisted of colouring the egg in blue felt tip, and gluing a cotton wool ball for a tail, and some card ears. Looked a bit pap IMO but hopefully they'll see that it's a 6 year olds work lol!

Good news wise: Fergie really likes kester. When he is excited, he says 'gishi-yeah!' and he says this when he sees kezzie in the mornings. he has also spontaneously gone and done forehead touches with him a couple of times :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool: while we call ot 'GENTLY fergie!'

Hello lovely Weezl, so glad to see you. I think about you lots and hope that you are enjoying your boys.

Any chance of a mini-break from the little boys to make the big boy feel special for half an hour? Just a cuddle and a little bit of undivided listening works in my house. It is usually reciprocate with hubby being extra-nice to me too!!

*melts at brotherly forehead touches*

I see others have got there before me with the April Fools :rotfl:

Krystal a quick question for you if you don't mind.... Since A's growth spurt a few days ago where he spent 3 days feeding every 2 hours during the day he is now going a shorter time between feeds. We were happily on 4 hour feeds before but now, especially after his first morning feed (around 7am) he is going only another 2 hours til he's hungry again - is this normal?! (Unless he is on the move in the car or pram in which case he'll just sleep til we stop)

Had a quick read back and just wanted to say I am so sorry to hear about your nephew Krystal. Really hope it's been caught in time.

Glam's OH is off work this week I think so she probably won't be on as much for those who are looking for her.

NMS - Don't worry, I love you sweetie! xx

I think your photo is inspired SS, and I would shamelessly steal it if we didn't have so many friends in common!!

Another question for sling users - when you take a small baby out in the sling, what do you do when you want to stop for a coffee or something, do you leave them in the sling or take it off and hold them? (presumably when they are older it's easier as they can sit on their own)

It's very normal hun.

If you think how often you have a nibble of something, or a drink... It's probably quite more often than every 4 hours... That's all he's doing...

4 hourly feeds are actually quite manufactured, a more normal pattern is a cluster of feeds close together followed by a rest period, at least until they get more efficient at feeding...
