Oh mopsy, I feel your pain! 'Why won't they f---ing do X, Y', etc; I find myself going all Spock (Star Trek, not Doctor) and thinking 'this isn't logical, why are they doing it', which is probably the most stupid thought ever, but you do find yourself wonder why? what can I do?!
itsy, I've done the same for eyes since LO was born, and have done it again this morning. It does seem to work!
Another LO sounding like Marge Simpson here, gawd he grunts and sorts.
air, really pleased that you're relaxing on the weight issue, that takes some doing.
We've not been having fun the past week or so. Poor LO had a week around wk 3/4 when I was on the anti-bs and it upset him, and made him a bit colicky. Got over that, and he's now on the evening 'fussing' thing, which is horrible. He yells, arches his back, refuses the boob but when he goes on it feeds like a baby possessed, and then when we try to go to bed he really kicks off.
Cue an hour or two of real upset, jiggling to sleep, and then about an hour of ensuring my nipple does not leave his mouth as we're lying down to sooth us off to sleep.
It varies in severity from night to night; Tuesday wasn't too bad, last night he started early and finished late (so the bloody nap didn't work then 
).
It appears to be classic 6 week behaviour, and I can rule out colic (because of the anti-bs and siblings I know what a colic cry sounds like) and it's not reflux- I hope, although some of the symptoms are the same.
This too shall pass........................................................................
Right, off to get dressed and off to nursery no. 2, and hope everyone gets to tick things of their day/week lists
