Thanks to all of you re the support towards my bf problems it really does make me feel better.

Mrs C - feeding at this early stage does take a long time, but it gets quicker each month. Bunny is learning how to bf just like you are and I bet she is loving being so close to you.

Jitterbug - I felt the same as you towards Mothers group but you all have your babies in common and that gives you all something to bond and talk over. I really hope you go and like it. I liked that we all went through the same stages with our babies and could offer support. It is also fun to watch your babe interact once they are older.

Treena - Poppy is also my little helper and is surprisingly good at it, fetching me nappies, wipes, dummies whatever i call for really. She is growing up so fast now its scary, yesterday she had her 1st haircut and peed in the potty!!

Hollo - I had DH for one week and I hang out for him to get home each night. The day goes by so fast, it still amazes me! We are also waiting for our 'Ruddy' as we call it. Though it is going into our debt. We will buy a few things but not much.

Kellbell - I agree with all that Trinity said. Its really normal behavior for little babes and mine is the same. I find that wrapping her really helps not to wake her as i transfer her to the cradle. And i keep a hand firmly on her chest as i put another blanket over her and tuck it in firmly.

Sascha is settling into a feeding and sleep pattern now, she sleeps at night from 7pm to 2am and feeds again at 6am. During the day she eats around 9am and every 3 to 4 hourly after that. I bath her each night as she loves it and it has really helped to settle her. My DH and I cherish the quiet nights we have been getting with both girls in bed. Though last night Poppy was up crying till about 2am with her last molars breaking through. I have learn't through her that routines and patterns always fluctuate and to enjoy them when they are stable!
