Hi ladies,

Man did we have a bad day yesterday. Amy had one good sleep but for the rest of the day she was so unsettled. I couldn't work out why. I think maybe she had tummy pains or something.....who knows with these little ones. She's fed every two hours this morning from 4am and has finally gone down so hopefully the rest of the day is ok. I wanted to go visit my cousin today but don't want to go if all Amy will do is cry. Not much fun at all!

Just wanted to say too, thank you all for your supportive words. I never thought I'd get so much out of this forum but you ladies are something else. I've decided that I'm going to speak to the naturopath today and tell her I don't want to keep taking the herbs and we'll see how my supply goes without it. I'm going to start weaning really soon. I told Mark that I will try to make it to 12 weeks but I don't think I'll make it that long just cos Amy is taking bigger and bigger top ups and I feel like I'm wasting my time putting her on my bb's. I'm going to give her a formula only feed today for the next one and see how she goes.

Jess - that sucking blister is nothing to worry about at all. Amy had one of those and I did nothing and it went away on its own. A little bit of dry skin came off her lip yesterday and now its totally gone.

Kate - nice one on the purchases! Amy didn't like her baby carrier at first either but now she doesn't mind it. Mark just kept putting her in it and it only took a couple of goes before she realised it wasn't torture.

Jen - that's great that Amber is sleeping but I know what you mean about worrying. if it's not one thing it's another! I'm the same.

Sazz - i hope you haven't got mastitis but from the sounds of it you do. go to the dr just in case!!!!!! sending you get well vibes.

Well, better go have a shower and see if my cousin is up for a visit. Hope you all have a wonderful day ladies. speak to you soon xxxxx Nik and Amy
PS thanks again for your support :-)
