Have some more time to post while Oliver is having a good sleep. I've been home from hossy for five days now... Oliver is one week and two days old! DH and I slowly settling into life with Oliver. Like I mentioned, I get very overwhelmed sometimes - usually of an evening/night when the lack of sleep catches up to me. I've had one or two little cries, and DH has been wonderful - giving me lots of hugs when I need them.
Oliver is a wonderful bub - doesn't get unsettled very often, and has even been sleeping 5-6 hours a night from 1-2am onwards. Feeding is going okay. I've been using a nipple shield mainly, cause my silly big boobies and flat nipples make it hard for Oliver to latch on. But once he's on he's a wonderful feeder - he's a great little sucker! I can't really follow the 3-4 hourly feeds. Sometimes he just desperately needs another feed after 2-2.5 hours.
We have our first check up on Tuesday - I can't wait to see how much weight Oliver has put on, and how much he's grown!

I hope everyone is doing well, and I hope we have some more new mummies come to join us soon!
