Amelia was having a very unsettled sleep time yesturday. Only sleeping 20min at a time wher she normally leeps 1.5-2hrs most sleeps. I was geared up for a no sleep night last night but she slept from 10.30pm - 5.45am. It was my ds who wokke me at 12am crying for 1/2 hr with sore gums. Cutting 2yr molars(joy) Went back to bed in clothes thinking I would be up and down all night and didn't wake till Amelia woke me. Wooow. Having a much better day. Back to our usual routine of
feeds- 6am, 9am, 12.30pm, 3.30pm, 6.30pm and 9.30pm. Hope it lasts. Breast feeding is also finally becoming natural to me. She is latching on better and my nipples are NOT sore anymore. Yay. As for steralising, I have to remind myself to steralise my pump at night as we pump one breast and freeze the milk for later, as I have too much in the mornings for her to drink both breats. I am so glad I don't have to go down the steralising road on a reg. basis. Although it is a reliefe when baby is 12mths and water and bottles do not have to be boiled/sterile.

Please note****I am not against anyone bottle feeding.

Christy, hope you are having a better day with Matilda.
