Good morning ladies!

I'm feeling really good today. I feel like I'm getting into the swing of motherhood - feeling a lot more relaxed and confident with everything.

Hi Michelle - welcome to the group! Sorry to hear your bub has reflux. I hope things settle down soon.

Andjxx: That's fantastic that Harris is putting on so much weight! It's nice to find out how much our bubs are putting on! Oliver had put on almost 500g since birth at our last check-up. Getting those tips on over tiredness must have been great! Do share .

1PJ: Oh, I know what you mean about wanting to go home when bub screams in public. I'm not so nervous about it now, but I remember the first few times I went out with Oliver I was really nervous about him starting to cry and me not being able to settle him - something about having an audience with your new and developing parenting skills.

Antheia: Glad you're still about. How is Orson doing?

Blip: That sucks that you've had such a long and confusing/contradicting time with the MCHN, etc. I think the "If in doubt, whip it out" idea is great. Our bubs know when they're hungry! And if it helps Darren to settle, why not? Congrats on the RAK! I suppose you'll get an avvy soon - that must be exciting!

AFM: Oliver has been feeding and sleeping really well the last couple of days. He was doing crazy-cluster feeds of an evening/night where I felt like I was feeding him non-stop for a few hours... but I think he was just trying to trigger more milk - cause he's not doing it anymore and seems to be getting plenty of milk each feed. I'm still using the nipple shield though... I think I'm getting too comfortable with it - I need to start trying harder to wean us both off it.

Hope everyone is doing well .
