Apparently I was a colicy baby too - my mother was quick to pitch in with that revelation when we revealed Tom's problems - so I guess there's a possibility it's all my fault.

However, they have made up for that in other ways!

For now though there is little we can do but use some special drops we got from the chemist, give him comfort when he needs it and sometimes let him have a good old fashioned wail when he needs that too!<BR/><BR/>Aw go on Laura, at least imagine how lovely it would be to see a litter of kittens in a Moses basket! I'm not sure of the symbolism of giving birth to cats though... that may need looking up on-line!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-5679169454478754752007-11-08T16:34:00.000+01:002007-11-08T16:34:00.000+01:00Every time I've had one of those 'giving birth' dr...Every time I've had one of those 'giving birth' dreams it's always been to kittens.
