thanks.... he really does seem to prefer the breast milk to the formula so i suppose that is saying something... he is also having some difficulty breathing, he sounds like a little snorting piggy, so i suppose that is complicating things a bit, i keep thinking he must have a cold, but its just piggy snorting it seems...

i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to use a sling, i had an ergo and a HAB with my first, and i just bought a 100knots ring sling, but can't for the life of me work out how to get him in it comfy... i got it second hand off ebay, so if anyone can recommend a good sling with good instructions (i want to carry him cradled/nursing position and feel the ergo and HAB will be better once he is older) i am really thinking i will need to buy a new one... i did used to have another ebay sling called a jazzsling that was unable to be adusted, but suited my first born in the cradle position, have no idea where it is now...

i have help during the day thank god, i honestly don't know how mums have like multiple children then a newborn, does the newborn get left to cry a bit, as long as he's fed, changed, warm etc? i can't possibly fathom looking after other children while tending to a newborn.... i am blown away by this concept at the moment.

i just feel so much guilt that i don't get to spend hardly any quality time with my daughter anymore, although i know once bubs is a bit older this will change, and in time she will have a playmate which is such a fantastic gift for her, but at the same time i am struggling feeling like all my attention goes to the baby... she doesn't seem phased though so i guess i'm being hard on myself.
