Amy jellybean congratulations on your beautiful baby. And welcome to the world of breast feeding! My DD is 11 months and the early days were hard for us in terms of breast feeding and settling. My DD didn't sleep at all in hospital or at home unless she was cuddled to sleep and held while she slept. I tried to fight that, insisting on putting her into her cot once asleep but she always stirred and cried then couldn't be settled. As all babies do, she grew out of that as she adjusted to life on the outside but next time around baby is sleeping on me!


As for the poo, as you noticed it changes so much when they're little. Green poo, frothy poo, compact poo... It's all normal!

You are doing an amazing job and you should be proud. Breast feeding is an incredible gift we bestow upon our children and it's the most natural thing in the world but that doesn't mean it isn't hard sometimes. Be proud and in time things will get better, always.
