    laura- What a stupid Dr!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Kaz- Well, they say they should have up to 20mins on one side so if DD comes off I just keep putting her back on the same side up to 20mins and then if she still wants more I put her on the other side. So hopefully this means she's getting the hindmilk. BUT I can barely get her to have 10mins on one side!!!! Don't know if she's just getting faster or what, hope she's having enough, I feel like I'm having to force feed her!! Just keep feeding in the evenings and he will be getting milk, don't worry. Even if they feel empty there is always milk there promise!
    det- sorry to hear about your nan Well done on the eulogy.
    Meg- Having problems getting DD to sleep too, esp at night. She wakes at 3.30am and then it feels like she never goes back to sleep!!
    Ali- I have heaps of milk too, boobs are always hard between feeds still! Just fed DD and struggled to get her to have 10mins, wtf! And my BB felt like there was still milk there, not completely empty, although it was pretty full at the start and she was gulping like mad so I guess she's had enough? She's gone to sleep anyway. It's so confusing, I feel like I'm always trying to make her have more and she's fighting me, lol. How long does A feed for?

    Well I feel Em is getting a little more settled still struggles with her wind and poo but the last couple days it hasn't seemed as bad, hasn't been bad enough for me to use the infacol drops so good sign. Still not going all that long overnight, seems to wake at same times, always around 1am then again at 4-5am and that feed seems to take a little while to settle afterwards.

    Heaven- its hard isn't it, Em never goes for 20mins on a boob I just keep offering the one side and when it seems she is coming on/ off constant or doing this quick type of shallow suck (if that makes sense), like there is nothing left I assume then that side is done and switch to the next.

    Ali- yay on dtd, maybe it takes time for it to really properly get back to normal down there? Its been thru a lot, maybe post somewhere on here about it. We didn't dtd til Ash was nearly 6 months so things were def back to nbormal by then.

    Meg- I agree with others leave the kids with him and go out shopping or do something nice for yourself. Ash too was going 8hrs by this stage, altho by 12 weeks she did regress. Hope J settles soon for you. We have probs with Ash being very sensitive like crying very easily and also been very fearful of everything lately.

    Det- sounds like a nice send off for your nan, glad your eulogy went well, i would've found it hard to get up and do it.

    Had DF's 40th birthday party today, turned out well, was a sit down late lunch, lots kids there so Ash had a ball, think Df enjoyed himself, he is still out kicking on well into the night so I'm on my own with the 2 kids. Em sleeps so well with noise, she fell asleep on the way to the party and then slept for 2 hrs there, kept thinking I should record all that background noise and play at sleep times!

    Meg- A friend of mine today mentioned something about them, hadn't really heard of them, must look into it, I think it would work so well for her. Might drive me nuts at night tho!

    I've just put a bid for one on e-bay, only $5 for 2 cds if I win plus $7 postage so not bad. Has white noise and pink noise! Didn't know noise came in different colors.
