Hi ladies,ive been looking for this thread and only just found it yah!I know some of you from our belly buddies thread!My baby girl summer was born on the 5th of feb at 8pm weighing 5lb5 and 45 cms.The first 2 weeks were quite good but shes fallen into a bad pattern of crying when shes tired like she will cry and cry but refuse to fall asleep where as before she used to just sleep after a feed,now if shes been awake for a bit she will just cry,only way to get her off seems to be in our arms at the moment when she has these times,other than that things are good,i had a few concerns about breast feeding as i was worried she wasnt getting enough and was hungry and thats why she was crying but it seems to be weve worked out what the problem is so thats good.

Andjxx-Hi,I might have to try the co sleeping thing,we arent getting much sleep at night at all,she wakes up every 3 hours sometimes less.I feel as you do,i feel a bit bored being home and sometimes even lonely,maybe its just hormones but its a big difference i guess from work.

Blip-I hear you!Im so over not knowing who to listen too!Ive been told the same,wake her for feeds,no shes tired let her sleep bla bla,i think i have to work it out for myself,i give up otherwise!!Yes mine is doing the feeds for 40mins then awake but lately its then cry time then sleep but 3 hours if we lucky.I cant sleep really during the day.

Melaniekate-ive had those concerns too and everyone i spoke too(except 2 ladies i know old school who told me to stick her on formula)said to stick with it and your breasts will make enough milk,my sister told me sometimes you have lower milk in the day so bubs cluster feeds but later on during night etc builds up again,im not sure if any is right or true but i know how you feel,ive actually had formula and a bottle ready to go for the last 3 days worried she isnt getting enough off me,i just havent done it yet.Mines also wont suckle properly at times and like thrashes around and pulls herself off then looks for it again,its like shes fighting it but wants it,then i think is she not getting enough or is it the opposite and its coming too fast or is it something else??Sure wish they could tell us!Hang in there with me!The other night she took soooo long to settle i was just in tears all night.its gotta get better!

well i finally got her to sleep and am thinking should i try sleep also or finish brekky or clean up or get out of my nighty???sigh!Sorry girls its been a bad 2 nights,we'll get there!
