    Not done very well today... my 8wk old DS is not a happy bunny at the moment... colic big time! my mum is over tomorrow so will hopefully catch up then!

    Any tips on colicy babies anyone?? I have exhausted most obvious options and hate seeing my baby boy in so much pain!

    Only thing that worked for DS2 was putting him to sleep on his tummy but I know that is against most of the advice. If you are BF has you checked if it could be something in your diet? Good luck it is such hard work.

    To the ironing board for me.

  • Hiya! Well im off to a much better start this week, i've decided to take the dot to dot cleaning approach in the bedroom and have one sparkly bedside table, and also one sparkly set of draws, also done half an hour of ironing and put clothes away. I'm going to try and work through the suggested regime too, altho will probably stick to level one until I get over the overall mess of the house! and then hopefully move up a level (or 2) to maintain the cleanliness! (if that makes sense?)
