Here we go, Rémi is more than a month old and finally I manage to write a post! Marc was supposed to write one for the Rémi's birth, but he also didn't have time. Having two children, can it be called a technical problem, Melanie?

So in the news, Rémi is fine, but has a lot of difficulties to sleep during the day. He began his life to feed every 20 minutes at night. He calmed down now and sleeps between 4 to 5 hours at night, but the day he can't sleep alone. He vomits a lot, found it difficult to burp and therefore has a lot of gas in his small tummy. He likes to eat and does it like a piggy from the start. We have reached the stage of using a dummy because my breasts are not! So I couldn't do much during the day. Now, it's getting better.

I see an osteopath because he always sleeps with his head on the same side (and also begins to have the flat head). She found a tension in his neck and his shoulders. I also contacted my homoeopath for his vomiting and she will give me a treatment which I hope will work or at least help.

Arthur is fine. After Rémi's birth it was a little tough with him, but not with Rémi, but with us. His opposition phase has increased dramatically and the fact that my parents and Marc's sister were there has not improved things. He is calmer now, he doesn't necessarily obey more, but we are managing to avoid conflicts and to have what we want from him, with a lot of patience. He loves his brother, he wants to breastfeed him, kiss him constantly and if he can't he takes his hand. He was very disturbed at the beginning when he was crying, but it's OK now and even make fun of him.

We are knaked. Marc has a lot of work, but looks after Arthur in the morning to bring him to the childminder because I'm very tired with Rémi's last feed at 5am! He also manages the evening when Rémi cries. He must have magic hands because he calms him down faster than me. We are starting to have a routine again, but it will be disturbed with all the visits that we will have this summer starting this weekend with the Savio family.

Here we go the news, they are brief, but from now I'll try to give some more often (do I promise that?)
