I've posted in the BF problems area, we have never had a sleep time over 6 hours you're so lucky

kel I wouldn't worry.. Eli only had a 6+ hour sleep from 4 weeks old and he's a big boy. My midwife said it can be a lot to do with their weight and how much their stomach can store.

kel- I'm 100% BF here too. I don't get much beyond 6-7 hours, only at night. The first few feeds of the day are 2 hours apart (no negotiations on that, if he wants it before that he has to wait due to digestion issues) and then we spread out as the day wears on.

typing with one hand while ds is asleep in my arms, so I will come back later to chat more

hi girls ...

sorry so long between posts but man where have the past weeks gone ... i think too much has happened to catch up on personals at the moment so I will do my best to catch up over the next few days .....

My aunt has been over for visiting from Dubbo whilst my parents are holidaying in Tassie so I have been spending time with her catching up and going out a bit and then the long weekend DH had a full 3 days off so we had some well needed family time and him home on a weekend and not working - YAY !!

Have also been working from home too so at the moment whenever I have free time and Ali is sleeping I need to work to get this event and AGM organised ... I have flights and accommodation and registration to organise for all our members and our staff so I will be busy me thinks !!!

Ali gets her injections tomorrow not looking forward to them at all and since my mum is away my aunt is going to come with me for moral support and then she will stay with us and have dinner esp until DH gets home from work ....

Ali got the milk pimples and in the heat they flare up even worse than normal .. they have started clearing on her cheeks but are now spreading to the back of her ears etc .. I took her to the dr about them as well and he said they are normal and it can last until she is 12 weeks old but not to do anything to them .... so we have left them and they are s l o w l y clearing up ....

I read somewhere today that chocolate can give babies wind and whenever I eat it I think it affects Ali so my days of enjoying some chocolate are well and truly over I think .... bummer .... but worth it for her to be wind free .... has anyone else know what triggers affect the wind in bubs?

I b/f Ali every feed except her night feed which DH has just given her now .. we normally feed her around 730 or 830 depending on schedule but she is going every 4 hours and has been doing 4am, 8am, 12 noon, 4pm, 8pm ... she sleeps from 930 to 730 generally but every 2nd night tends to wake up at 2am or 3am for a quick top up which is weird ?!?!? Why every second night I have no idea and the long weekend on Sat morning she woke at 5am and was ready for play time ... I ended up in the lounge room with her so DH could sleep peacefully and was playing with her at 5am ..

Will try and catch up on personals and I hope everyone is doing well ....
