marcey - the exercise situation does get better! I was having a hard time sitting for a while, and couldn't walk far, but yesterday, at three weeks, we put madam in the close carrier and went for a massive walk. It felt SO good, probably racked up 4km or so. She loved it, I loved it, DH was a bit jealous because he wasn't carrying her, but he took her out in it today. It really is the best thing ever!

Kaz - SO pleased your visit went well. Hope that you get somewhere with that LC too.

Babyluv - definitely try waking every two hours in the day, I do it, because our little miss does have some long day sleeps and definitely has the potential to get day and night confused. Except today - took two and a half hours to get her down and she was well overtired by the end of it, so I let her go for three hours.

Jules - I burp every time she comes off, whether she's asleep or awake. As for whether to wake her, it depends on what kind of feed she's having. If she's not long had a big one, I let her go, but if she seems to need more (like first thing in the morning) then I go and change her nappy to wake her up, and it usually works.

Got the massive poo right after my last post! She had her nappy off, and I had a prefold under her bottom, she did three big squirts on that, then I had to add another one, and two big squirts on that one, then she got into a third one! DH had taken the nappy bin downstairs to wash and forgotten to bring it back up, so I was yelling at him to bring it so I had somewhere to put my dirty wipes! Good thing was though, the nappies she did her artwork on were soakable, which made it nice and easy. And a day out in the sun has them sparkling white again! Yay!

In the hot weather, do we just trust that they will take on enough fluid on their own? Or do you offer more often than they ask?
