Hi Erin and welcome. congrats on the birth of Charlie. Olivia sleeps catnaps during the day and sometimes longer. most my problems are her poor sleeping at night but in saying that she slet almost 12 hours last night with only 2 quick feeds
When i notice she is tired and grumpy i just try and rock her to sleep if i have eliminated everything else...nappy, feed, play... Good luck and i hope you can get some good advice.

to all who have left email addresses i just have to get Adam to help me scan it in tonight and will send it off. Party was good, although i was a little upset when one of our friends asked if i was dressing as a school girl or a s*ut, because i walked in with our baby. grrrrrr
Anyway, take care chat soon
love melissa

Hi!

Had dinner out last night which went well! The boys behaved although Louis was a little grumpy today! We've put him in his big bed for his day sleep and tonight and all seems to be going well which is handy. That means hopefully in the next week or two I can put Dylan in the cot!
Today's been cruisy...I'm still really sick so we just chilled out at home. Dh gave me a sleep in which was sooo nice.
Dylans feeds are really strange at the moment. He drinks so quickly and he's having huge gaps between feeds...only about 4 through the day and 1 at some stage overnight...Hopefully he's gaining weight. I do think he'll be long and lean though so maybe he just won't gain as quickly as Louis....I mean he's still over 5 kg so growing well anyway...

Danni - Hope you got your house cleaned! I'm sure your photos were gorgeous! Ooh I'm a big brother addict as well this season! hehehe.

Melissa - Hope you had fun at your party last night!!! ...sounds like your friend was a bit harsh...You don't need that!! Hopefully Olivia keeps up the good night sleeping!
Thanks for the chart!!!

Deb - Dylan chucked the day after immunisations as well! Glad he coped well though...Sounds like fun having showers - we still have Louis in the bath...Dylan has one first and then dh just fills it up a bit more and throws Louis in!

Kaz - Dylan doesn't have a mobile! He just chats to himself...he sleeps out in the lounge at the moment cos I can't sleep with him in my room. Or he's talking to down lights - we have them to but we have a dimmer switch so we have them on low all night. The perfect amount of light to just see him and feed him...
Good on you for getting out for a walk! I'm so lazy in the cold weather..

Kel - Glad Lily slept so well for you yesterday...It's so nice when they sleep for longer than you think and you get everything done - It's also nice when you get a chance to sit down and do nothing!
I'm with you on the comfort food - went out for dinner last night and ate bread and dip, ricotta & spinach canneloni and trifle for dessert - oh and a glass of wine and a baileys!! Talk about overdoing it - was soooo good though! hehehe.

Erin - Nice to "meet" you...It certainly is good to chat with other people that are going through exactly what you are!
My first baby was like that - it can be such hard work to get them to sleep that you don't want to spoil it...Luckily I'm managing to settle Dylan a lot easier this time...they do all grow out of it though and end up having a good couple of naps before long...

Chat tomorrow!
