Good morning everyone!

Roquen/Ash - Congrats on the excellent weight gain! The paediatrician told me that the average weekly weight gain is 150g, so it's really reassuring to hear that they are doing so well.

Kirsten - Sorry to hear that you were up all night. I hear you on the sore nipples; after four weeks of breastfeeding it still hurts when Jasper latches on. I have to say that he went through a few days of not latching on properly and just sucking the nipple, so hopefully it will improve soon. In the meantime we'll just have to hang in there.

Prama - congratulations on Laxman being back to his birth weight! And hopefully it will be a bit easier on you being able to feed on demand; you deserve it after having such a hard time and persevering with it!!!

Roya - Congratulations on the arrival of Amelie!

Carley - Glad to hear that you enjoyed a couple of good nights. It always makes you hope that they will be the go from now, only to be dissappointed the next night. Ah well, one day it will get easier and we will get that elusive full night sleep...

All girls - Good to hear that Summer has a good appetite, even though in might hurt the nipples. To see them put on weight is worth every excruciating second of it!

Hi to everyone else! We've got so many girls in this group; 18 all up!

We are doing alright. Had a reasonable night sleep with a grizzly/vomity period between 12 and 3. Lucky he settled down at the 3 o'clock feed and had a good sleep after that. Everyone reckones that DS looks like his mummy, but I can see certain expressions that are certainly his dad's and he has a red glow over his blondish hair, so it might just change when he gets older...

Hope you have a good day!

Esther
