Sophie is great in the day - feeds every 2 hours, sometimes less. Has a play with her sister, then falls alseep. SOmetimes on the breast, othertimes on her own. She doesnt have a lot of hours sleep in day - prob 3 hours all up. The thing is I LOVE BREASTFEEDING, did with DD#1 too, but when its almost every hour your up, by the 4th or 5th time you start resenting it a bit. I think i yelled, 'right, we're goign onto formula' sometime during last nights escapade - i resent saying it now, i dont want to feel like that, but i guess thats what broken sleep does.

Ive tried the dummy today and she suckign it like a trooper. For the past week at lunchtime ive been giving her 20mls of EBM - every day she's been smiling or just playing with the teat - but today she gulped the 20mls. Its been a long day, but im so happy she took it.

I LOVE co sleeping, but DH wont have it (grrrrr). We'll see how tonight goes......maybe it is a growth spurt like some of you have said......
