Tracey- the pic is just beautiful, such a nice way to remember Milana, great idea too about the teddies. her memory will always be kept alive.

NZGirl- Hi! 5kg is great weight gain, try get some time to relax!

AJP- 8hrs! We usually only get 4, had one lot 5 the other night.

tarkine- how scary, all this feeding he is doing must be draining you, try to drink glass water each time you feed just to keep your BP up.

Kaz- good luck with the weigh in!

Holly- Can the mchn give you some pointers on ways to help while you are waiting for the pead appt? Good luck with the weigh in too, seems to be the day for it.

Laura- Thats great news, how is it all going today? Do you need to go on meds to help the milk back or you doing it thru lots feeding/ expressing?

Ali- How is her rash today? Thats the prob with babies there skin so sensitive, we used to have alot probs with Ash when she was baby with rashes and anything except sorbolene irritated her skin, we also used the QV bath oil which helped.

I was thinking about all the talk with the number feeds a day and if they're putting on weight I wouldn't worry at all. i remember Ash used to be on the breast heaps and at one weigh in had only done 15g day average, I think due to the fact she was more snacking, Em has 7-8 feeds a day but I know they are really good feeds she nearly takes both sides so I wouldn't worry.

A question for everyone, how many bubs during the day will go thru to a 2nd sleep cycle without help? Em rarely does, always after 40-45mins she wakes and needs help to get back to sleep and also needs alot resettling in this 2nd sleep cycle time too, more seems to cat nap then sleep then before she can go properly to sleep she is due next feed. i keep persevering cause I don't want major issues down the track where they refuse to sleep longer than that.
