good morning everyone!

Amy had an awful day yesterday. She was so unsettled. Every time I put her down for a sleep after her feed she would whinge. She had about 3 hours proper sleep all day and the rest was napping in my arms. Not sure why. I'm going to go buy some different formula today. Not sure whether to go Karicare or Nan. Might look at both of them and see the difference......Karicare was recommended.....but then again everyone raves about Nan......am just waiting for Amy to go to sleep after a feed this morning. She had a bit of bb and then half her bottle (I put 120ml in) and then pretty much fell asleep and wouldn't take anymore so I'm hoping she goes down. Just a question for ff mums, do your bubs wait 4 hourly or do you do small feeds more regularly? I seem to waste a lot of formula sometimes because Amy doesn't want it all. I guess it doesn't help that I'm bf too sometimes so I have no idea how much she's getting from that.....

Thanks to everyone for their bub's routine. Sounds pretty similar to Amy. Last night I fed her at 8 pm and she went down at 9.30 and slept through to her 3am feed. Prob because she was so tired after yesterday. Would love it if she made that her routine though. Got some unbroken sleep!

Jess - hope the ff is going well. His poos will really stink even with half half. I'm still getting used to them and we've been doing half half for almost a month now!

Carol - I bought a second hand baby carrier of a friend. It's no special brand but it does the trick. I'm going to brave the shops today with her in it....it's too tricky shopping on your own with a pram. I bought a bubba moe sling but she hates being cradled, even in your arms so it's no good for Amy. Some babies love them though. Wasted a bit of money but it was worth a try and it might come in handy for the next one......it seems a bit uncomfortable though......

Have a great day ladies. I'm sure I'll be back on here if Amy actually sleeps today. Someone told me that she was probably unsettled cos it was really windy yesterday. I find that I'm a little irritable on windy days so maybe that was it......? Who knows!?? Heheheh. chat soon xxx Luv Nik and Amy
