Well Logan got over his cold. And I am pleased to say that since we stopped the saline solution he hasn't been sick once, not even a little dribble after a feed.
We tried the wrap sling scarf for the first time last week and it's brilliant, although Logan, who loves to move about, feels quite constraint in it at the beginning. I find it great for a lot of things as it enables you to use both arms. However, with the child right in front of me, obviously I can't do such things as cooking, washing dishes, ironing etc... But hanging the washing and most importantly typing on the computer are all of a sudden feasible!!
The other fab thing about the scarf is that it puts him to sleep quite quickly! So I've used it 3 times so far, one hour each time as about half an hour after he's fallen asleep I then like to put him in his crib (sleeping lying is better then sat I think). I need to get him used to it though as I plan on using it a lot this summer when we go on a 2 week holiday/work trip to visit the Orkneys. And I won't have space in the car for his huge pram, so we will go about visiting places with him in the scarf.
So I need to find a meeting somewhere, where I can be helped with it, just like with the breastfeeding. Last time I used it, I had it really tight (as was recommended to me) but I felt it was maybe hurting his wee legs. And he took a long time to settle. I'll post something once I've been to a meeting.
Logan at exactly 8 weeks old. Bit grumpy that morning.

First time in the wrap sling scarf!
