Shell - I so wish I could lend you my mum, and that we lived closer together. DH went back to work today, and my mum is staying here until the weekend, so that is great.

E has slept all day, so I am bracing for a full on night. At least J will be looked after by Nanna in the morning, and I can try and rest.

I have been taking probiotics and so has J, as we both had 5 lots of gastro during my pregnancy.

AJP - You would get some cute pics with her hands up!

Holly - How was Leon today??

I am going to try for an early night. Mum will listen out for E and bring her in. I want to catch up on Ladette to Lady that I taped, as I am never awake to watch the end!!

Holly- I think in the breastfeeding section they have info on storing EBM. I can't remember it all. Be good to freeze and put away so when you get around to having a night off you have feed there.

I'm getting nervous already bout how tonight will go, she sleeps so well in the day, only had to rock the bassinet once.
Had the MCHN over and she told me can take up to 8 weeks for them to sort night from day! Hope we aren't waiting that long.

Hey girls
just wondering if it is OK to crash your thread!! Even though levi was born 2/2 i know you girls better so wondering if it OK to come on in
mwah
odette

[shellbell3]

Of course Det, we'd love to have you with us!

[Olive]

crash away odette!!!! i couldnt part from you guys either!!

shell im worried about tonight too! DD has literally slept all day

meg her hands are in the wrap but just up near her face if that makes sense, instead of down her side which she fights, this way shes quiet happy.

holly you can get bags to freeze but they can get expensive otherwise avent sell little cups and lids that are reusable

AJP - DD is already fussing after 2-3 good sleeps today so I'm with you I'm about to get into bed with her and try to get her to settle. She seems to be tired but not wanting to sleep.

[Olive]

nai so i might see you on here in the wee hours of the morning!!

im off to bed as millie has gone down without a peep she has seriously been awake for a total of 3 hours allllll day sense my uh oh.....

i had toddlergroup today with both girls by myself all day and im buggered, need to see how my haemoglobin and iron are but thats another 2-3 weeks away, i;ll need matchsticks for the eyes soon

I am so with everyone. E slept all day yest. She was up a little overnight, but nothing that I couldn't manage.3am she had a feed, and then didn't settle, so back on the other boob, and then in bed with us. So she was really only fussing for about 15 mins and feeding the rest of the time. I think I even fell asleep while feeding! She is back to sleeping and needing to be woken for a sleep. I wish she did that at night!

Had an improved night, Em had feed at 10 which I thought great can go sleep after but took til MN to settle, then woke exact 3 hrly for feeds. Night feeds just frustrating cause I spend alot time trying to keep her awake to get decent feed in.

Saw bit blood on Ems jumpsuit and realised its from my nipple, no wonder its so bloody sore, been using the lasinoh cream. Can't wait to get past this hard part of breastfeeding cause I know how lovely and enjoyable it is once I get past this pain and attachment barrier.

AJP- I was just thinking this morn about how I'll go next week with my first outing with the 2 of them, already quite daunting! Bring out the match sticks I say.

Nai- Howd yr night go?

Meg, we posted same time, hopefully they get this night/ day business sorted sooner rather than later, its great you can feed lying down, because pain and engorgement I really have to sit up and concentrate on attaching, Em sleeps next to me and Df been sleeping in other room so at least waking is easier when in the bed.
