Hi all! Not so great this morning, but she went to bed really early last night, just couldn't keep her awake.... 6pm!! So no wonder she woke up at 5.30... oh well...

I bled until around 8weeks post Matilda...

re the dummy... Matilda didn't like the dummy at first, but she loves it now & we use it only to settle her at night when she wakes in the middle of the night, we pop the dummy in and she goes straight to sleep. We also use it now when we are out & she needs to sleep & is tired. We were told that using the dummy and/or bottles would cause nipple confusion, but we never had that issue. Matilda from 2 weeks would have a bottle in the evening and fed really well off the breast with no confusion at all... so I guess some babies get put off by it and some dont... as with everything I guess... we went to bottles only because of her reflux and would have kept bf otherwise as she was so good at it and we had no attachment probs... sometimes I miss it now and I thought I never would as I didn't enjoy it all the time, that was when she was feeding every two hours for the first 16 weeks though...bit tiring....

Anyway... I'll stop my epic posting lol... I hope you are all well... its another rainy day here & no car so I am trying to come up with something to stimulate her later as I think she's getting bored now after a few days of being at home in the rain no walks... hmmm....
