Fire I have read that somewhere too about BF babies going weeks between poos and it is all normal. As for when does the mothering thing get easier, I find that having a routine helps me to not be overwhelmed by it all, even if that means forcing a routine onto him, now if that gets all out of whack, i'm a blubbering mess
BabyWrangler have to say we haven't really done tummy time yet, but now that he is having more awake periods we will start, we couldn't do it with Jordan as it made his reflux worse and he would scream in pain. I was told to keep Oliver upright for approx 20 mins after a feed which should help with his food settling in his stomach. Just out of curiosity, why do you have a problem with back sleeping? I used to put Jordan on his side because of his bad reflux, as if he was on his back he would sound like he was choking on his vomit.
Beatrix I didn't get Oliver to bring his last bit of wind up at his 2.30pm feed last night and he was grizzly and grumbly for the the rest of the night. Oliver is starting to enjoy his bouncer, it is the Fisher Price rainforest one and he really likes looking at the lights and the moving animals.
Nettie my DH wears ear plugs to bed, and he doesn't even know when I have got out of bed, or when I come back LOL, I have to agree and think that the constant resettling when they are being restless is definitely more tiring, you can just be starting to doze off and then you have to get up again, anyone would find it very frustrating
alittlegrubi I was back into my own bed the first night home and it was wonderful, DH said that he got very lonely in there by himself, and it was nice to have the cuddles on the colder nights too. My eldest always slept on his tummy, this was before they found that it can increase the chances of SIDS.

I took Oliver to the community nurse today and he has put on 400g in 10 days (little piggly) she also congratulated me on picking up on his signs of reflux and that we did make the right decision in putting him onto the thickened formula, especially since he has now gone back to drinking 90-110ml at each feed. He had also grown 2cm since birth and his HC was 1cm bigger too, so all in all, the nurse was happy with his progress.
