Tiggerlinda - Those colic exercises sound interesting. My DD has become a bit unsettled in the last few days. She sleeps a lot but fusses for a reasonable period each day now. Can I ask why you are expressing lots of milk at the mo? Did I miss something in a previous post?
I got a bit teary when I forgot to take pain relief in the first week or 2 post cs. You think you are OK then all of a sudden you are in pain and it is hard to cope.

Good to hear a bunch of us are co sleeping at times. Its interesting Hollo and Trinity as I remember I began co sleeping with DS2 due to tiredness with looking after DS1 as well. With this bub I automatically popped her in next to me so I could get more rest and it has helped. When DS2 was 4 months old I put him in the cot to sleep o'night and he quickly settled. I wonder if I will be as lucky with this one.
When I was in hospital I was reminded that it is not cosher with the SIDS advice to co sleep. All the studies that came out several years ago however identified that the risks were related to parents who were intoxicated. In other cultures it is the norm to co sleep - and it just feels right for me.

I agree Hollo (and Helen), there is so much advice from so many sources that you just have to make up your own mind in the end. And what is good for some is not for others. I used to particularly hate the old ladies in the super market who had to put their 2 bobs worth in. I think I have become pretty confident that I know what is right for me and bubs now a days so I dont let them bug me so much any more.

Go the great milky boobs!! (and the fortifying formulas - whatever is your way!).

Oh and the nurse said that you no longer are encouraged to wear a bra to bed - problem - wet bed from excessive milk supply at night!!!! Solution - sleep with a flannel nappy of towel - just dont lose it in the bed somewhere - ha ha
