Just quickly, little miss is about to wake up.

I got my butt into gear this morning and woke up to get Dh to work so I could have the car, so I'll go and get Elise weighed today, I'm curious to see how much she has put on, her cheeks are so chubby now and she has a third chin

Kitten - oh poor Matisse with the thrush, DD1 had it quite bad and I ended getting it on my nipples, might be worth rubbing some of the stuff you are putting in her mouth on your nipples as well to make sure you don't get it, otherwise it can become a vicious cycle, as it did with me and DD1.
I haven't tried to Braurs nappy cream, I've been rubbing paw paw ointment (the black one) into Elise's butt at every nappy change and that works wonders. I forgot a spare cover when I was out on Saturday and ended up having to use a sampler huggies I had in the nappy bag cause she had a poo plosion and it went everywhere, but was all nice and contained to the prefold and cover. the poor thing came up in a huge welt across her pubic area from the nappy, but the paw paw fixed it up quickly.
Your right about the alone time, my DD1 is in Elise's face all the time too, I don't mind it too much truth be told, I'm functioning well on 4-5 hours a night really, and once DD starts school I'll be able to have a day nap, that will be AWESOME!!

Skye - glad you got a better night, mine wasn't too bad at all either, last feed at midnight, then she was up at 230 for an hour then up again at 6am. That's about the best I can hope for right now.

Claire oh those screaming fits are awful, luckily Elise doesn't scream forhours like DD1 did. After 4pm -7pm is geneally what I like to call the "witching hour" seems to go longer than an hour though, just a horrible time of day, sounds great though if the bath will calm her down.
