Hi mummas
Mel A-sent you my username and password to change my ticker,im so blonde n dopey!!

Well last night the self settling worked again,my DH more persistant than me and its paying off,i think cos im so unwell i have less patience..Boy how the hell do i keep the nightowl awake during the day,,he just sleeps n sleeps,today he been going down every 3-4 hours then wakes for 2 hours..he woke up at 7pm ish for a feed so now keep up til 9ish and bath n bottle..he takes a good hour or so to self settle but we are persisting,has no set wake up n sleep routine during the day he just does it automatically.i dunno whether its worth implementing a set daytime one or just let him go as he does so automatic...Last night he did ok,the worst was the 2am feed,had to change his bum and that was like charging the batteries,he didnt self settle til about 4am then went back to sleep..awake at 630am and in with me and we both slept like we in a coma,i love our morning naps...He's a bugger to feed soemtimes,doesnt have a full bottle then other times wants more,am hoping he aint got a touch of colic as its usually 7pm ish he squealing and carrying on after bottle,wont relax,hes having gripe water and that helps and loves the taste,ewww i still can remember that taste from when i was a kid,hasnt changed,just now less potent and no alcohol...haha
Well tomorrow im soooo excited,my mum gets to meet her grandson for the 1st time,she suffers from bad back n hips with arthritis and cant travel for long periods,so we are off to the country to see her and my other family...i miss them heaps an wish they lived closer
Does anyone know that can you MCHN or local council offer home help with new mums who need help or are ill,im falling behind in anything from fatigue and illness and need help,cant expect DH to do it all and thought they offer something thru ur local health nurse/health centre..Also has anyone joined a mothers group in ur local area? ive asked my MCHN but havent heard a thing
p.s thanx for the ticker mel...........
cheers bon
