Well with introducing the bath and nighttime clothes - ashley will sleep well over night (2hrs at a time - taking about 1 hr to feed and settle in her cocoon). However now she will hardley sleep during the day! she has slept a total of 1 hour in the last 8 hours and that was on me. she wont sleep in her cocoon - and if she falls asleep and i put her down she will wake within 10 minutes.

she is obviously tired and cries alot ++- gets windy (when not on the boob - which equates to a lot of time!!). the only way i seem to setlle her is put her on the boob (sometimes every hour - not that she always feeds sometimes she just suckles).

i think about expressing so dh can feed overnight but i feel it is counterproductive to my supply (as i need to feed to keep it up anyhow??). plus i know it sounds odd but i dont want to express ebm when we have family coming up as i enjoy bfing and i dont want them to assume they can feed her instead - i want dh to share the experience but i dont want it to be a givenn to take the bottle???

also she has had lots and lots of watery yellow poos and squirt out! about 8-10 dirty nappies ( + wet ones only on top) a day! is this normal for bf bubs?

i have ordered a sling but it prob wont arrive until monday , and she hates the car rides...

i am starting to get so tired.... i get nothing done at home AT ALL... and no chance of sleeping during day as ashley wont sleep! and i am lucky to have breakfast by 11am because she is so restless.... (i am taking elevit to make up for my shortcomings). i always eat dinner though because dh is home and he can comfort her!

Any advice or help would be appreciated on hints.

ta!
