Thanks so much for your replies and advice. Today has got off to a brilliant start! We use a bubba moe sling frequently although this has not even worked of late. We also have a baby bjorn (DH choice) for doing groceries.

Traveller - I don't think my milk is coming to fast as I don't ever leak and we have tried laying down, me on my back her on her tummy, normal. I haven't tried massage yet. Baths will distract her for a bit but she screams when we get out of them lol.

CF - Hope your bubs has improved too. I would love to express and leave DH at home with her. He is looking after her this afternoon while I go and get my hair cut. But he doesn't handle crying so I don't actually like to leave her for long periods of time.

Eluned - you're right it won't last forever. I think the sling hasn't been successful because she literally throws tantrums stiffens out etc.

Lady Zaidie - She's not showing any signs of being interested in food... yet thanks.

JB- It could be teeth. We have an amber teething necklace and it was helping, but she is showing signs of teething.

Barb - THANK YOU! I think I'll get DH to read your post. to answer your questions. Yesterday She fed 9 times in 11hrs during the day, then 4 times throught the night. The only way I could get her to sleep last night at 9:15pm was to feed co-sleeping. So as DH was on Night shift we co slept all night.

Allergies: DH was apparently dairy intollerant when a younger boy. Nothing crazy just didn't work well for him. I only ever had bronchial asthma as a young child and now only get it when I'm sick or in damp weather. She has still got cradle cap which won't seem to budge and has had a little bit of eczema but that is due to the bad water here, when we go away it clears up.

Sleeping - if any during the day is only a cat nap. She will fall asleep feeding even with my best efforts to keep her awake (using washer, singing tickling etc) but soon as I move she's awake again and won't sleep. Lately she goes down about 9pm for sleep, wakes about 1-2am, 3-4am and 5-6am then up for the day. Sometimes I can have her fed and asleep again in 30mins other times its an hour and a half.

We have only just seen a paed on 18th of last month regarding her plagiocephaly. They say she is going well. She was 5.9kg then at 4.5months (about 20wks) and 62 cm long. SHe was 2.5kg born and 48cm long. I think she is growing well. I will book into health nurse to get her weighed again asap.

As for tired signs, as soon as she shows any signs I try to put her down. Except the chewing fist as this seems to be all day everyday at the moment lol.

This morning I got up and fed her at about 630 and managed to be able to put her back down about 730am and she slept for 2 hrs. I'll try the 2hr thing and go try put her down again now.

Thanks for your support everyone. It makes the world of difference to my emotional and mental state. I love BB.
