We're down to 3 BFs a day - at 7am, 3.30pm and 6.30pm. I've had to bring back the dreamfeed because of him not sleeping through, and have been giving him formula for the last few nights as I'm struggling to express anything. It seems to be working as this morning he slept til 7.30 Hopefully I'll be able to drop the dreamfeed soon and I'll then move the formula to the 3.30pm feed, ready for when I go back to work.

I go back to work in 5 weeks...I'm feeling v. v. down about it. I keep waking in the night worrying about it all...but hopefully once I've got the first week out of the way, it'll be ok.

It's hard not to worry about milestones...Jamie doesn't sit very well - if I put him in the sitting position, he just pushes himself backwards so he's lying down. We met up with a mum and her baby who is 3 weeks younger than him this week, and it was really obvious how much better she was at sitting than him. I do worry about it a bit... But she wasn't rolling, whereas Jamie is. I guess they all do things at their own pace.

Happy New Year!

Well I've got 8 weeks more mat leave left, I'm going back after Feb half term. I'm really not looking forward to it at all. I'm going to try and enjoy every minute with Jamie before then though.

Jamie is trying to crawl and can kind of shuffle himself backwards a little way, but he just loves rolling at the moment, it seems to be his preferred method of moving from one place to another. I can't really leave him on his playmat anymore as he will roll himself to the other side of the room in a few seconds! However many toys I put round him, he insists on making his way underneath the Christmas tree, or onto the hearth instead. Think I need to get a playpen! He's sitting well, but I still wouldn't leave him alone while sitting as he sometimes topples over.
