Hi girls,

We just got back from a day of visiting Nanna in Rochester and then Nanny and Russell (yep my dad is called Russell) in Bendigo. Amber slept a little in the car on the way up. She didnt sleep at Nanna's, she dozed in the car on the way to Bendigo, didnt sleep with Nanny and she slept a little on the way home. Now she is in bed after a mountain of feeding! She got herself a little dehydrated today as she was hot so we did a lot of feeding. Luckily we had 60ml of EBM at home to give her when we got home. My poor boobies will be drained for hours!

Routine??? Whats that? Nah we dont have one of them yet. She goes down between 8-11 and sleeps about 5-6 hours, I do a feed and then she sleeps for another 4 or so hours. During the day we are finding it very tough to get her to go down. We can usually get 4 or so hour from her after a lot of going into her room to pat her or put her dummy in... But she's 2 and a half weeks so I will persevere a little longer. I would love to start a routine but from what I have read the first 2 weeks you girls had it tough and it sort of eases after that...

We have a baby bjorn. Was second hand from ebay but she LOVES it. We have worn it to the shops twice and she goes to sleep in it. She is getting used to her pram. We have taken her on a few short walks in it and she no longer screams.

We are still bf for now. I will keep doing so while I have milk and can seemingly keep her happy.

Might go to bed while DD is sleeping.

a good night to all
