Babyluv: Aww It's so hard when they keep crying and you don't know what to do isn't it? Sounds like you've tried almost everything. Are you getting any rest at all? Have you thought about trying sleep school? I've got a friend who had a difficult baby and went to sleep school at Mitcham. She found it really good and learnt a lot about settling and reading her baby more.

Kirsten: Yup I think they do have a growth spurt at 6 wks. It's almost like every 4 wks. Claire did the feed every 2 hr thing for 2 days and it's worked coz my boobs are so full now esp at night! Hope Ivy starts to sleep better once she's over her spurting again. Yay to Ds liking school! What a drive for you 40 mins just to go to school. Glad Ivy was good in the car. Do you just pour a small amount of water over her head in the bath?

Renee: LOL on the poo explosion! Time really flies doesn't it? Claire's already 6 wks. OMG. I really don't know where the 6 weeks went. Just seems like yesterday when we met here on BB. Re the bleeding, just keep an eye on it. Could just be normal as long as it isn't too heavy. If it gets heavy then do call ur MW. AF is quite unlikely if u're BF exclusively.

Had a fantastic night of 3 hourly feeding instead of every 2 hrs. She's been a sleepy head all day today, not sure if it's because it's nice and cool or if it's because she's finished her growth spurt or if she's just being nice to mummy She slept all morning, only getting up to feed at 8am, 9am, 11.30am. Falling straight back to sleep each time. Even stayed asleep in the pram at the shops, woke up briefly on the way back and is now sleeping again. I'm hoping it doesn't mean she's going to be a night owl!
