Hi all,

Sara you have done well to recover from colby's birth. You must be tough. Great to hear everything is going well for you. I have to aim to get xavier to have some structured day sleeps. at the moment he will only sleep after eating, and in my arms and insists on eating at 7.30ish (2nd breakfast) 10 (morning tea) 12 (lunch) 3 (afternoon tea) 6 (tea) 7/7.30 (desert) then asleep till anywhere from 2.30-4.30 (first breakfast). FYI, the talking to didn't work

Sehra, That was a good sleep you had, I understand waking her becasue it can get very painful. I express about 1 - 1.5 hours after xavier goes to bed and I have no trouble sleeping through. i also ditched ewearing any tops / bras to bed at all I found it too un-comfy. a sports bra is a little better than a maternity bra, but I prefer nothing. If I wak up in the middle of the night and am worried i will get too heavy before the next feed, I put a towel down to sleep on. When storing the milk because I'm using the avent isis pump, all of the accessories are interchangable and it comes with re-useable/disposable cups that you can freeze as well. and you can use them for food when bubs gets bigger.


Rhiannon, that's a great sleep, just the start of things to come I think. I'm sure he would have survived the hour and a half. He probably was just acting hungry because its a sure way to get mum, yet it didn't work for him this time. I'm sure I would find it hard the first time I leave Xavier with someone. I have trouble when others hold him and they are trying in vein to help him when he sooks, and I'm sitting there and I know what he wants but it's so hard to say to you mil give me back my son
