Aha!! Finally found where I should be. Wasn't sure where to go after DD was born - here looks like the place though.
Charlotte Anne was born on April 16 after being induced for Pregnancy Induced Hypertension. She weighed 7lb 14.5oz. I was really lucky and had a 'dream' induction and it was only 5.5 hours from breaking my waters to her arrival.
We have been home for a week now and are settling in nicely. She is quite colicky (when she is awake - she sleeps for about 4 - 5 hours at a time and has about 3 periods a day of wakefulness of about an hour). Am using Grip Water fairly regularly with her and have just introduced a dummy for when she won't settle after a night feed - but have not found a magic cure for her to be able to get rid of the wind - have tried everything - massage, burping, baths, gravity feeding - all with no luck.
I am BF and have a s**tload of milk which makes my boobs very hard particularly when it is so long between feeds and still have quite tender nipples (have to hold my breathe for the first 4-5 sucks) but otherwise she attaches fine (unless she has wind) and usually has a good feed (also drinks 100mls if given expressed milk in a bottle - but will pay for it later with wind!)
She is my little koala cause she loves sleeping on my (or DH) chest - and is currently snuggled up there as I type this!!
Anyway, it is nice to have found a new 'home'. Talk to you all soon.
