    We never fed dd again, unless she was showing signs of being hungry but she would normally chuck and then sleep. We always had cloth nappies on hand when feeding too, we would surround her in them, have them on our shoulders to try and stop the constant changing of clothes.

    Thanks girls.

    Today is quite a full on chucky day so I have had to use full size towels to catch the spew rather than the terry flats I was using.

    Im not too phased with her chuckiness TBH, DD1 was also a huge chucker and it went at 6 months. So I know it does stop eventually and only seems bad atm because Im living in the moment iykwim. Just wasnt sure whether or not to feed her again as shes a feed, play, sleep kind of kid (otherwise she spews constantly over her bed ) . Ill just follow her cues as suggested and if it seems she needs a little more before being put to sleep, I will offer. She loves her booby though and is the type of kid to drink, even if shes not hungry. HENCE all the spew!!! I dont trust her at all to tell me when shes full lol.

    You are doing a great job there! Another thing I did was use the terry flats on top of the sheet they lay on, saved on sheets

    DD#2 was a happy chucker - I found that keeping her upright for 20-30mins after a feed helped heaps

    Sounds like youre doing a great job though!
