Well, DS has started sleeping for longer periods during the night since late last week but unfortunately last night he went back to the usual feeding every 2 hours But i'm fine with that as i can see he's starting to work out day and night. He has 30mins - 1hr playtime after a feed during the day and off to sleep for either 5 mins or an hour. At night he seems to stay asleep during feed times or if he is awake, he seems to settle much easier once he's finished feeding.

So glad to have some improvement, finally! I think i can thank the WCH Rhubarb and Soda mixture i bought to help relieve his colic. We're trying out Losec at the the moment for his reflux but it's a real pain to give as it comes in a tablet form. But we'll keep persisting!

How is everyone else going this week?

I am curious to know how much you other girls manage to do with a newborn baby? Are any of you back at work? Do you get out n about with bubs much?

I wanted to go to the shops this morning but i was hesitant as i don't think i can get the pram in and out of the car - it's pretty heavy. I bought a minimonkey sling to carry him around in for short trips to the shops but my few attempts to get him into it at home has ended up with him screaming and getting stuck in it. I think i wasted $80 for nothing!
