HI all,

Neuri, the cluster feeding at around 3 weeks is perfectly normal, and it will probably happen again before the 6 weeks is up. if you do need a 5 min brake try what krist mentioned and try wearing your bubs. Xavier decided at the start of this week sleeping in your cot was for suckers and so while awake, why not have a boobie in your mouth. that got a little tiresom, so I ended up wearing him in his Hug a bub for a little each day, and he got some good long sleeps. he's a new little man now.

re the breast pump I just got the manual avent isis, it works fine for me. there is another isis that has an electronic memory and learns what motion you like then you hit cruise control and it goes for you. also around the $100 mark. What I found was great though we have a ufs pharmacy here and they give a membership discount. I saved 10-20% off all my avent stuff I have bought so far, cheaper than big w sells it for.

and I agree with krist, nothing wrong with spoiling in the first 3 months. there is a july mummy that just had her 5th child and she has co0slept with all of them until 12 weeks, and they don't have any bad sleeping habits
