Yay, I'm celebrating as we are over the hurdle now and Tara is much better. BG the "Wonder Weeks" book arrived today and I've read up on the 5 week changes, described everything to a tee. Thanks for the recommendation and I'll be reading up on the 8 week change to know what to expect.
It seems we have now gone from cranky baby to sleepy baby (must be the 6 week growth spurt) as we have had wonderful sleeps at night now with Tara only waking for 1 night feed. She actually slept for almost 7 hours last night before waking for a feed at 5am and then back to sleep for another 3 hours after that. Plus she has only been awake today for feeds and then back to sleep straight away. She has also increased how much formula she is taking each feed and we are now on 6 feeds a day, so I'm a much more relaxed mummy at the moment who is getting some good sleep and able to keep the housework up to date as well.
She had her 6 week paed check yesterday and has put on 1kg since her birth (now weighs 4.2kg), was told she is in the 25th centile so a little bit less than normal but her length is perfect so we just have a long and lean baby.
Once again, thanks to you all for your support during my trying week it was so nice to be able to vent and get positive vibes back from you all.
