Hi Kelly,
woah, I couldn't do the 12-13 hour sleep even if Jazz wanted to. She still needs to feed through the night and if she doesn't she gets dehydrated. Last night she slept for 9 hours and I woke up at her feed times but she didn't so I let her sleep through. She woke at 5, had a short feed, then all three of us had lovely big sleep-in together in our bed. Unfortunately there was a tell-tale sign in her nappy in the morning (urates). have you had them at all? It's like crystalised uric acid I think and it's an orangy, blood-like colour. It may just be a problem with small babies. I learnt all about it in hospital when I got a tut-tut from a nurse when I explained it. I haven't had it since but at least I recognise it and will wake her for feeds if she sleeps through tonight.

Today has been great and all seems back on track....and....drum roll please....we got smiles!!!!!!! Oh happy day, lots of gorgeous big cheeky grins at everything, including the dog. It's hard to catch one on camera but got a bit of phone footage. What a heart melting moment. So relieving to see her making those connections and we both saw at the same time so we couldn't deny they were real. can't wait til play time tomorrow

Sorry about your problems with the reflux, you might find some other threads talking about those issues if no one gets back to you soon. I am fully breast feeding so I don't have the same problems but i hope you get help for your lovely girl.
