Hey everyone, thanks for the reality check. At least I'm not in it alone on the sleep front. and it does sound like the weekend was a shocker because of some kind of 'wonder week' action. would love to read that book...
So sorry that no-one else is getting much sleep either.
Prob extra hormonal atm & so not coping v. well. Just have to keep hanging in there one day at a time.
thinking about getting rid of the dummy again tho! hmmm. dunno.

to all the otehr sleep deprived mummies.

Lauren, Ella's wind did improve when I reduced the feeds, altho I don't think I was feeding as often as you. Reducing the no. of feeds made her feed better & therefore get more hindmilk & reduce the lactose overload which is a problem. Ella's still a bit of a windy bub on the whole, so I think it's just her / slightly sensitive gut, altho not the same probs you've got with Ash at night. I'm still wondering about going off dairy again tho & seeing if it improves night sleep.

On the solids front, I'm giving anything I can get my hands on. Am cooking for her, but because she's so fussy, not cooking much b/c she may not eat it, so lots of jar / package foods while we find out what she'll actually eat. Prefer to home cook, but we're going for reality here!

Hey Nic, just remembered something else she'll eat - the first thing she actually opened her mouth for - a heinz fruit custard that comes in packs of 4 tubs. Maybe Olivia will take that?

Found a new brand of organic/dairy free rusks (& other stuff I think) called "holle" at our local big chemist. Might be worth you looking for for ash Lauren.

Hope this all helsp & everyone's week going OK. Gotta go pay the baby some attention. just got home from work (aka my 'day off')
