Laura our bubs must be on the same schedule, 2-3 hours is the most I get too.
No milk rash as yet here, I don't think Abby ever got one either.
During the day Elise either sleeps in the rocker or on someones chest lol she's a bit spoilt, depends on how much I have to do around the place and if I am looking for an excuse to get out of it
At night she was in the cot next to my side of the bed but she was waking every hour - hour and a half, wanting to be settled again, so I've ended up co sleeping since last night. Had the best night last night she fed at 11 then woke at 230am then again at 630 and then at 10am so I got a few good blocks of sleep, feeling a bit more human today.

Claire I'm not sure if there is a proper time to give it, I've given it to Elise twice, once just before a feed and the other time was about an hour after cause she was super windy. Such a hard thing to know what to do and very trying on the patience, I hope she is feeding better for you today.

Anthea I am very jealous of your 6-8 hours sleep, I hope she keeps it up for you.
Good Luck with your mum, I hope she comes to her senses soon.

I am going to take Elise to get weighed tomorrow, it's been over a week now and I am curious to see what she is up too in her measurements.
