Handy hint for anyone who doesn't know... in dire straits, the nice wide necks mean vests will go downwards as well as upwards!

Could be a heat/sweat rash? If you can,pop to the pharmastist next to the dr surgery. The pharmastist there is lovely(Irish man). He could have a look at Charlie for you. They are as good as drs x

Hi Sitting! So cool you have managed to bf. Mine will only latch with a nipple shield, but even using one, my nipples are still bleeding and sore! Going to try the medela contact shields at the end of the month, maybe the Avent ones are too big. We also top him up with formula to make sure he gets enough!

Hi Ro!So glad all is well x

Thought we'd been doing ok with it mozzy but the little man has hardly slept for the past 2 days and just seems to want to be fed constantly
Hes only just gone off now because hes having a bit of skin to skin with mummy and hes not properly slept since 2!! Oh wait spoke too soon!!

An hour later....well he woke up, fed properly for a little while, then like the past 2 days got extremely fussy and just wont latch for any period of time
Even after a successful latch he is still going for his hands and cueing for a feed. I don't know if hes just using me for comfort and I should try a dummy....he's just been so good so far and we were getting a little routine going.
Now mummys only had 2hrs sleep and doesnt know whats going on!

Sitting, my lo gets like that when she has lots of trapped wind.Maybe try some extra burping ? The constant feeding is quite possible as your milk might still not quite be in fully, so they often feed little and often. Make sure you drink enough yourself, and don't switch boobs to soon, wait till lo has fallen off one before offering the other.

It may just be baby acne. Cj has had it. Try cooling pics to see. Its not sore and won't harm him. Wipe his face with cooled boiled water and blot dry gently .

WSS!

Leo had baby acne when he was tiny. I took him to the docs who google imaged baby acne so that I could see how common it is. He told me it would clear up by 6 weeks and it did - not too pretty to look at but very very common xx

Jack had it as well, it does clear up soon.

My backside is out the window today, he's been such a daddy's boy! And we had a tantrum last night because he wanted to stay and gran and papa's instead of going home. They were both working early this morning though, so he'd have been left with my brother, who, great as he is for entertaining and making a bottle, won't change a dirty nappy.

The joy of having a baby that only poos every other day, that was a megapoo! Out the side and up the back. Worst thing is, my boiler decided to give up last night, and though it isn't freezing, it is far too cold just to dump him in the bath and sort it out there. Can't wait till the boiler man comes on monday. In the meantime, we've finally found a use for all those hand knitted cardies! It's been too hot indoors and too cold out to use them so far.

Mozzy, my little one seems to get spots everywhere he dribbles milk on himself. Or where it squirts in jet propelled fashion.

After two very colicky days, we've actually had some sleep in the crib during the daytime today. Yesterday I basically held him from 7am to about 10.30pm, when we finally got dinner! Not sure if he's happier now because he megapooed, twice! Or if the Infacol is wearing off, or if I gave in and started drinking camomile tea. Kira (was it you who was doing the same?) how often do you drink it? I've had two cups so far today, but I hate herbal teas, so have to drink it with a very healthy dose of honey to get it down!
