    hun. I think Lulu is on to something!! I was going to suggest a sling too. I hope that your GP and Tresillian can help. I cant imagine how exhausted you must be.

    Listen to Lulu!! In some cultures women stay indoors for a month. The first three months is like the fourth trimester - which means you should be resting too.



    At this stage I think bubs just needs reassurance and comfort so try to limit visitors and external stimultion. Keep it simple and quiet. Are you breastfeeding? If so, take your top off and undress baby and have heaps of skin on skin...that worked wonders with DD.

    GL!

    my recommedations

    Hi there!

    the only reccomedations i can make is to try a sling (as other have said), co-sleeping (then u get rest too), as much Breastfeeding as she needs, and lots of bonding/close contact.

    i look forward to hearing what works for you

    if you get time you could try read (or go onto) Pinky Makay's website, she has written a great book 'sleeping like a baby'
