2 week old only gained 35g in 12 days - so stressed

That's fantastic!!! You should be really proud of yourself.

Re the settling, while I was waiting for a phone consult with the Queen Elizabeth Centre (a six week waiting list just for a phone consult!) for my amazing sleepless baby who was waking every two hours for a feed and not sleeping during the day, I downloaded their podcasts. And I never even needed the consult after that. I tried their techniques and they are brilliant. Tom only wakes once a night now, and has two good sleeps most days. He also has reflux, by the way.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the link, but if you google queen elizabeth centre, noble park, you'll find their site and their podcasts.

All the best!

Congratulations - have been following your story as I'm going through similar issues regarding supply, weight gains and sucking. You are just a little bit ahead of me - Sam turned 7 weeks on Tuesday just gone so hopefully we won't be too far behind you. Its so great to hear the stories of it working out makes you just try that little bit harder again. Well done to the both of you

toomany, thanks for the QEH recomendation (podcasts). Does that centre use "controlled crying" as their technique, or are other ways presented also?
