jen - when she is unsettled I try first a cuddle, then walking around and rocking her, a few little exercises the midwives taught me to help get rid of gas, I will try the rocking chair and if all else fails, I will feed her again! I am still not sure what the problem is a lot of the time, but I know she gets a lot of gas so that is most likely the problem. It takes a while to work out these little people!

Jacki - woo hoo on a four hour sleep! Sleep makes such a difference to your overall mood, hey.

I am finding going out a bit daunting still. We managed to get to the drs yesterday which was fine and we have visited the families a couple of times. I haven't been to the shops on my own yet because DH has been around enough, but will brave that soon. As for a wedding, not sure if I could handle that! I am also a bit shy to bf in public, as sometimes it takes a while to get her on properly, or she pulls herself off a few times, exposing me to everyone! So far I have only been around friends and family, so it has been ok.

Esme - glad to hear little Jasper put on so much weight in one night - that's impressive!

We were doing pretty well with a four hour routine once we got home from the hosp, but now we seem to be going backwards! Now we can barely make three hours, and sometimes only two! She also gets confused between day and night and sometimes will go back to sleep straight after a day time feed and then wants to play after a night time feed! So annoying!
