Like you Austgirl she clicks when she eats as well. We just bear with it cause I don't know what else to do. She is also drooling 24/7 and I hope that she is not teething yet cause that would suck. Plus she is not sleeping during the day unless I hold her. Don't really know how to fix that.

EBF babes usually poop once every week to ten days (not always but thats supposed to be the norm)

drooling - my other two started teething at 2 months but nothing ever broke through till about a year. So starting early doesn't mean a tooth will break through next week

Have you got a sling? Anna was like this for a while. Also swaddling helps. I cannot put her down w/o being swaddled cause when she does the "falling baby" jerk she wakes herself up.

thanks I needed that

Kind of funny. With DS2, I lamented that I didn't have computer access to take advantage of a DDC on MDC. This time, I had access and didn't take advantage either- except for complaining.
Thanks for the sympathies, ladies. I hope I'll see you over in the new thread.
