Caddie- Don't get to stressed about the amounts that Millana is having to eat. All babies are different. If she is putting on weight and is healthy, then she is eating plenty.

We didn't have Alana in a bassinette for very long, as a friend of ours had a terrible time transferring her daughter over to a cot. First of all we spent a few nights with the bassinette outside our room. Then, Alana had a couple days sleeping in the bassinette in her room, so that she could get use to the room. And then we put her in the cot and she has been there ever since. I thought that I would have real issues with Alana being in her room, but infact I was so glad that we did it sooner than later. I found that both Alana and myself starting sleeping heaps better.

I personnally don't allow Alana to cry any longer than it takes for me to get to her. The only way Alana can communicate with me is through crying. I of course have to then work out what is wrong. This can be the difficult part! LOL!

Motherhood can be stressful, hey?

Had my councelling appointment today. Glad I went as she was able to make me understand that all the feelings I'm having are completely normal and should not feel bad about it. And that I should listen to my feelings , as she believes there is alot to say about Mothers instincts. So I guess I'm not going nuts!
