wind, dummies and bottles

Leon's doing well, sleeping well again :)
We've discovered two new tricks, from friends and a book Sarah the Goth lent us:
1) a spoonfull or two of cold fennel tea before feeds reduces trapped wind - seems to be working.
2) when he does have wind we lie him on his side, on a cushion, on our laps with a dummy... and that really helps.
He's definitely a dummy baby. We don't use it all the time, but he likes it in the evenings and he's started to hold it, or at least reach for it... unfortunately he often knocks it out his mouth!
And, news flash, I fed him with a bottle of expressed milk last night :)
He's a lovely chappy :)
