    Hmm someone said not to bother with freezer bags for expressed milk (sorry can't find who)....why not? I already have a box of medela ones that I got for a couple of quid off ebay, doh! But what's wrong with them? I don't want to express 150ml in to it if it's going to pop or something!
  • Teething - Cal;gel, Calpol and some powdered granules (whats given tends to depend on the severity...when he's up with it at night he suffers and so do I every 15 mins!)

    Naps - My LO just to be a cat napper then he started waking up crying which some internet research suggests might be coz he can't get back to sleep so a few swift actions with the dummy or a song and he'l nod back off so the naps are getting up to 40-50 nins at a time now.

    So far this morning I've been pooed on as wave 2 came mid-nappy change, peed on (this necessitated changing her clothes just as we were heading out of the door)... waiting for the vom cannon...

    Getting more and more worried about her headshape (not that I can do much about it- they won't treat it in our PCT and we can't afford the treatment if it's needed) - she resolutely will NOT lie with her head on the other side at ALL... so it's naps in the sling a lot more today and I did half the night cosleeping with her in the crook of my arm to get her more time off the flat side of her head... this would have worked better if she didn't get the giggles - and everytime she looked at me she started grinning and laughing - which set me off - which set her back off! It was very cute really.

    Moring all, thought I'd join in here as me and my DW have a beautiful 4 month daughter and she's gone from sleeping solid from 10pm - 5am to waking up at 2am, 4am, 5am, 6am etc. I have an hour to drive to work (thankfully only for the next few days, then it's working from home time :D ), but it's like we're walking zombies again. :(

    It's also rather annoying when she's kept us both up all night then looks at us with a giant grin on her face. How can you be frustrated at such a beautiful baby girl!? :o

    Hello hun, my sisters LO had a flat spot on his head. She tried a lot of stuff but he just kept turning his head to the other side!! I can't remember how old he was but he did grow out of it and head shape corrected itself. I'm pretty sure she tried a sleep positioner thing, but I don't really think it helped until he decided he would sleep the other way.
    Lol at her giggling at you in the night!!! And sorry for the poo/wee explosion, they always happen when you have hardly any time dont they!

    Morning!

    Charlie has a very flat back of head, but we've been told that once they start sitting up, its corrects itself, so not worried about it. I'm sure it'll be the same for you hun x ps hope the vom cannon doesn't appear! :eek:
