    Thanks team :)

    We do swaddle, it helped some (but doesn't stop her being windy and miserable!)

    We use Infacol (although immediately before feed, not 20 minutes... hmm)

    Gripe Water and Colief both on the shopping list, but will be a week til she's a month old

    We've only taken C out twice so far, and OH did indeed sling her, we have 2 slings available. Around the house we've not been but she's usually happy in her vibrating bouncer anyway - on the whole it's the nights where she has periods of misery!
    Bruno, the HV told us that the 20 minute thing is cos it is best if it provides a gentle lining for the tummy, so ideally 20 mins before a feed helps it get there before the quicker digested milk, IYSWIM? Sorry about the car :(

    Sorry about the car, Bruno, I feel your pain - we put new brake pads on ours (around £100) and the NEXT DAY the clutch went which is when we bought the new one.

    Gentle hugs for poor C, hopefully you'll hit upon the solution soon - silly babies, why can't they just tell us what they want? :D

    Sorry to hear about the car Bruno.

    My is due a service and MOT at the end of Feb. I know it needs a new starter motor as it struggles to get going, and I think the brakes will need doing too - ouch! It's an 8 year old car and at the stage where things keep need doing on it. It's got a huge dint in the passenger door where someone hit it and drove off in a car park too :o

    We keep seeing the advert for the new C-Max Grande and keep dreaming, but it will have to stay a dream for now!
    Here I go again on my own....

    You could always edit your post and put in the list of regular posters instead?

    How is everyone today? We've been to Ikea and bought things in the sale that we can't put up until we've tiled/boxed in pipes/stripped and re-hung wallpaper.... so some point in 2012, but never mind!
