Hi Ladies,

I am so sorry I haven't posted in here for so long. Life has just been very busy as you would all know too well.

Mia is going ok. We had a pretty rough time in the first 3-4 weeks but she seems to have settled down a bit. We give her infants friend and I think this helps her. She is a very windy baby (passes wind alot) but that doesn't seem to bother her much anymore. I am not sure if it's because of the infants friend or because she is getting bigger. She has been doing one 5hr block at night which is nice but last night was 4hrs. I believe she is going through her 6 week growth spurt atm (started yesterday) so today I have been offering the breast every 2hrs. So far it has worked well.

We also bought a swing. Hubby went back to work yesterday so the swing has come in handy. I actually have my hands free and Mia goes to sleep in the swing. So anyone that has a baby that only goes to sleep by rocking etc, I would recommend investing in a swing. Soooo worth it!

As for routine, we have none, which I hate. But I am accepting that I need to wait untill she is atleast 3-4mths old before starting one. Atm every day is very different LOL. The only thing I have started is a bath and massage in the late arvo early evening so she starts to know when bedtime is.

Kayla is coping pretty well. I feel sorry for her because I feel most of the time all I am doing is tellign her to "be quiet" or "wait untill mummy has fed Mia" etc etc. Mia is a very sensitive baby (apparently I was too LOL) so noise doesn't go down well when she is trying to feed or go to sleep.

So that's us atm. Taking one day at a time. I don't know how anyone with more then 2 kids or a small age gap does it!!!! My hat goes off to you LOL.
