    Pretty much the same here except we are on cow & gate comfort now. We even tried soy milk but she wouldn't take that at all.
    We tried the osteopath as well. Didn't notice any real improvement.

    The crying at night like that sounds like colic. Our little girl has silent reflux. We havgo for the swallow test next week to find out how bad her reflux is. I think nothing is going to work till she grows out of it herself.

    Having said that she's snoring away on my knee at the moment.
    Ha just up feeding now as well,is their such a thing as night time colic,vos that's the only time he starts roaring.
    U need to get one of these babies bob it will change your life so much, I don't no how I used to spend my day b 4 this:-)

    Best advice I ever got was "there's only a short time in anything" they quickly get through things and move on. Now maybe it's on to the next hurdle but they grow quickly.
    Ours are 11 and 5 and it only seems such a short time since we were up at night feeding or teething.

    Have faith lads.

    You're right there bbam I cant even remember the colic days from the first lad even though im told they were bad !
    I think too that we all get worked up a bit over the first baby when they are upset , we weren't half as fussy over the second lad and everything goes just aswell with him if not better because of it .

    Where does your man go now after having her for the last yr.
    She didn't stay married long or did your mans money run out.

    I wasn't so happy with how the ewes went (€53 & €66), they were all tipped. But, most were older animals, and I selected them on the quality of lamb they produced so didn't want to bring them home.

    I had two small batches of lambs and a bigger batch. The worst went more than I thought (€51), the crossbreds a little less (€66) so it evened out. The bigger batch of blackface lambs (€64) bested the price the ould fella got for his crossbred ewe lambs so that was a little victory :D

    All in all, job done. Am cleared out for the year now and it's full tilt on for lambing next Spring with no more distractions.

    Aim for next year, must do better.
