Just an update on where we are at - DD has been diagnosed with silent reflux, which is why she initially refuses to feed as it hurts her, and when I try to put her to the breast, she only remembers the pain. Poor little DD, but at least now we know, and can treat it.

Jennifer and Marcellus - thank you for your reassurances about settling. Jen, what you said makes so much sense, and no one has put it that way to me before. Glad to know that I am not alone, and that following my insticts is the right thing to do.

Thanks again to you all, your advice is very much appreciated xo
