Hi everyone!

Loren, welcome back! Glad things are going so well. Adeline feeds 2-3 hrly daytimes too. She is a catnapper (30min sleeps) all day, but sleeps well overnight. Always waking for 1 feed.

Welcome lunesoleil, I have to say I also love the name Amelie. It was one of my absolute favourites but DH said it sounds too french for him. Adeline is a family name. We are bfing, and have shortened our feeds to about 15mins each boob, hugs on 1 hour feeds still. I think Addy has become so much more efficient. She has been putting on about 200g per week, but I think we are having our 12 week growth spurt at the moment cause her clothes are suddenly all tight. I have to get her weighed again soon. She was 6.1kg at 10weeks. by the way, loved the typo on "bum gaining weight". Also have that problem!!!!

As for work, I am lucky to have paid mat leave- half pay till May, then I am taking another 6 months unpaid, then will re-evaluate how I am feeling in regards to going back to work parttime. I think I will go casual and try 1-2 shifts a week.

Anyway, hugs to all
Mary
