Yes I threw in the towel , overpowerd , put to shame , shown no mercy , all this from , a 2 month old ,,,,,, fed him at 8.55 pm ,winded him , played with him , changed him ,,,next feed due at 12.55 , his 4 year old sister was blissfully in dream land , by midnight I was ready to do the same , no sleep the night before - no reason just could'nt get to sleep. so I waited and waited and waited for him to wake for his feed ,did;nt want to fall asleep in case he woke up and I was'nt ready for him ,so what did he do to me ? HE did'nt wake up till 4.15 am .thats what !! then he ate his feed ,I winded him , changed him,and by 5.am he was fast asleep again . you see for the first 6 weeks he suffered bad colic , and brought through his first tooth , his mum thought about changing his feed , but her health visiter told her not too , so she asked my advice , so I told her to go with her instinks as she was his mother , so she changed his feed 2 weeks ago ---- and what a diffrence in him, but what she forgot to do was tell me that he misses out his late night feed .So In reallity I was defeated by a 24 year old - - - which does'nt really make me any happier, - - - cause Im still nackerd , and the moral off the story is this , to all you new mothers out there , please dont forget to pass vital information on to us not so new grans !!!!!! now when I go shopping tomorrow I can leave the bag at home , cause I can carry it home in the bags under my eyes lol Sally , not so Sunshine (tonight) x

Oh Sally I had to laugh at that one.....I always ask DiL for times for meals, instructions on sleep times etc....they change all the time when they are small, don't they....

Dont you just love em. Colic isnt nice Tiddler had it screamed and I mean screamed from 9pm til 2 am. Bet when you saw him this morning though and that cute little face you just loved him to bits lol
