Hi everyone.

Mez - swaddling might have been the prob. I read that newborns (up to 3 months) have something called a startle reflex which the swaddling is supposed to help them not startle themselves awake. I know that if I don't swaddle Ava, shes awake in about an hour. Swaddling, I get a good 3 hours out of her during the day and during the night, I only wake once at 4 to feed her.

Kel - sorry your having such a bad time of it. Hope everything gets better for you soon.

Bel - photos are SO cute. Reminds me that I haven't put photos of Ava up yet (slack I know)

Tan - congrats on sticking with the BF and hope yopur little one is a chubber at weight-in

I've been trying to keep BF Ava and have over the last week increased my supply a bit (no where near enough to exclusively BF her but still a start) so got DH to take me down tot he drs yesterday for motilium (sp?). Hopefully that will do the trick.

Hi to anyone else I missed.
