Nettie it was only about 3 weeks ago when Oliver was only having between 90-110ml at each feed and some feeds where only 70 or 80 ml so you may find that Liam will increase in a few weeks, as long as he is gaining weight it doesn't matter.
Fire how are Ci's pox going, hope you don't get them too.
BabyWrangler if Oliver wakes really early in the morning I don't make eye contact or talk to him because he will give me that huge grin and start flapping his arms about and kicking his legs because he is so excited, if I just put the dummy in, stroke his head once, go shhhh, and walk out he will normally go back to sleep. I can't wait for the giggles, they are just so adorable. The 'taggie' sounds really cute, nothing like a home made toy/blankie, I can't sew to save my life
alittlegrubi I still have good days, bad days and then REALLY bad days, but the REALLY bad days aren't happening as often.
laurab welcome to the thread, there are a few 1st time mums here, I am now up to #3 and there will definitely be no more.
MummyMeg I find that when Oliver is really over tired he makes a fuss about going to bed too, they just find it too hard to turn off.
Beatrix I am sure your parents wouldn't think you failed them, at least I hope not, as that is the last thing you need right now, hope they give you lots of support
Zennie hope your little man gets better soon.

Oliver was a good boy this morning, after altering his wrap slightly last night he wasn't able to escape so easily and slept until 6am, he then went back to bed at 7am and slept till 9.30am so mummy got to have another couple of hours sleep this morning which was fantastic.
