Deb: Thanks for the congrats but not at 12 months just yet. I'm sorry to hear that it is tough going at your place at the moment. I really hope Immy is on the mend soon and you get to have a bit of rest.

Michelle: Mate, I have plenty of sympathy for you. Being UTD and having a sick bub has to be really hard. My DH is the same, he basically sleeps through when Oliver wakes up because I have a lad who has a serious case of 'Mummy will only do' at night. It is exhausting and sometimes I just resent the fact that DH is sound asleep and I'm up, again. So big coming your way.

Willow: Every kid is different but I find that Oliver drinks both 120mls and is sometimes looking for more. It is just trial and error really. If he is happy to eat solids then you can give him plenty of food and just offer water. Can I suggest that the week before you start with giving him EBM and then you'll get a bit of a practice run.

Well Sydney ladies, can make a suggestion. I really want to see you but if Mako, Michelle and the kids are sick perhaps it isn't a great idea. Usually I wouldn't worry about germs but given that we have a few days driving ahead of us I don't think it would go really well with a sick bub. Look, I am just thinking that it might be a bad idea for everyone who isn't feeling so well to lug themselves and their kids out. Perhaps we leave the decision until tomorrow and see how everyone is feeling.
