    thank you that is reassuring. I think she is happy and content. sure she can scream just like any baby, i think she suffers pains and lots of wind. mostly she is fine and her unsettled/cluster period is btw 6-10pm. When she's screaming it can normally be resolved with a big burp and sometimes burp after burp. Last night she wouldnt stop crying so I kept feeding (maybe growth spurt i fed on the hour!) with lots of burps and she flaked 10pm and then slept til 3.30am back down 4.30 and awake again 7am. Day hours she is happy and content IMO. When she is awake too long then she gets grizzly. So her times of unsettled behaviour I can normally pinpoint to hunger, pain, nappy or tiredness.. If she grizzles strait after a feed I take that to mean she wants more and I put her back on to finish, I dont count this as another feed I just count it as finishing off the other. She doesnt seem to be putting on 150-250g a week though. I have thought of the local meets, I might go next wk esp if I cant get appt with the council LC
