he might whinge a little bit, but usually he just goes to sleep - he won't stay still in my arms, or anywhere else for that matter LOL. he weighs just over 20lbs now and doesn't feel like any weight to carry at all, particularly on my back. :D

connor feeds to sleep - which is fine for me, but a bit difficult when someone else is looking after him. the latter doesn't happen very often so its not something i feel the need to address particularly. but the one thing that does always work for me, or anyone else, is slinging him. during...

i don't know if you do this already, but feed him in bed whilst lying on your side? that way you can doze (or even sleep) your way through it. i swear its the only way i stayed sane :)

sounds like a growth spurt - time to start cosleeping if you don't already?? it won't last :hug: :hug: :hug:

luvvie alert... :oops: :oops: :oops: i've met loads of famous folk through my job... most of them were a few years ago and they probably wouldn't remember me now - i've had curry at marcus brigstocke's house, drinks with ant & dec, partied with melvyn bragg, drinks with bill bailey, actually...

not sure how much he'll be getting quantity-wise, but if he's feeding on demand, he'll be getting enough. babies know what they need :) :)

it just sounds like he's extremely efficient these days :) connor doesn't feed for too long now - only his bedtime feed is lengthy. he snacks on and off during the day instead.

i voted 'other' cos i still haven't got mine back... but i empathise with you moss, cos i've got PCOS too and am the size of a house at the moment. so much for bf-ing helping you to lose weight :shakehead: :shakehead:

i had similar problems with connor when he was teeny - i had pethidine during labour and he was extremely sleepy for the first 48 hours after birth and wouldn't latch. he never got the hang of latching properly and by the time he was a month old he looked like a famine victim. i'd been giving...

if you're happy, just keep going :D :D :D congratulations hon, 6 months is a brilliant achievement! :hug: :hug:

i don't think i can come any more :( sorry guys...

i noticed too - glad you're back :hug: :hug: :hug:

I've got loads of bits & pieces that I need to add to this, but thought I'd get started! * Brand New Boxed! Baby Jogger City Mini in blue. http://www.babyjogger.co.uk/shop/produc ... ucts_id/63 £90 + p&p - I'll send this via Parcelforce, so if you're interested, drop me a PM and we can work...

You obviously need some help hon, but I think CC is cruel. I'm with Beanie - The No Cry Sleep Solution is a lovely book. There are some really good gentle techniques that should help you and James. :hug: :hug: Can Alan do bedtimes and give you a break?

connor went through a phase of it too - its awful.... :evil: :evil: i bought him some bikkiepegs and attached them to his jumper in the hope that he'd chomp on them instead - it sort of worked. i think he did it for about 2/3 weeks and thankfully hasn't done it since.
