Hi all, going ok here, not feeling so tired today, we just had few bad nights if not Emily then Ash was crying in the night!

Kaz- Em prolly has approx 8 feeds in the 24hrs, she is getting quite fast at drinking now except for the odd occasion when she'll come on anf off, usually 30mins at max to feed, burp, change.

Det- wow 120mls after a feed is very impressive!

Nai- You sound like you deserve time off or maybe buy yourself something nice, anything you've had your eye on?

Meg- At night Em usually settles fairly well after a feed, as she is next to me anyway I just pat/ rub her back or sort of gentle shake her while she is lying down. During the day we do whatever works, bouncer, electric swing, cuddles, hugabub, alottimes I will cuddle her til she falls asleep then put her down on her side and rub her back as soon as she cries to get her to drift off again, dummy also helps at times. Won't worry bout self settling just yet, maybe at 3 months I'll see where we are at.

Heaven- Glad you had great time away. I would love to get away somewhere, the coast sounds good but bit cold here.

AJP- Oh god, i seriously would have dumped the baby and sprayed the hell outta it!

Ellie- Thats great things have improved with the losec, you must be feeling so much better also.

Ali- we sort of co-sleep, Em sleeps on Dfs side bed (Df is out in spare room) and we have our own seperate blankets and all, just alot easier at night to feed and settle.

Last night I gave Em half bottle the breast and she went 5hrs til next feed and oh my god my boobs were gonna bust, then cause so big she only needed one side so I'm hand expressing the other into a cloth nappy but must have had such forceful spray that it missed and went half way across my bed cause my sheets were all wet! Think next time I give bedtime bottle I will express what she doesn't drink from boobs!
