Caro, you poor thing, I don't have any advice for you I'm afraid, obviously being new to this myself. I just wanted to say that you are NOT a failure, fraud or loser - please don't think like this. You know that every baby is different, what worked with your DD may not work with your DS, it is no reflection on you what so ever. Feeding 3 hourly is normal for BF babies - Grace still feeds 3 hourly during the day it's only at night that she goes longer. Also from memory, Grace was terrible with her feeding between 6 and 8 weeks, she would really fuss, she would absolutely crack it, fight the breast, scream until she was red in the face - just had to stay calm and relaxed and persevere (?sp), she still gained weight and once she hit 8 weeks she calmed down again, we put it down to the growth spurt that they can get during this time. She was also feeding alot during this time. I hope the losec helps and that you get some rest. Please remember that you are a fantastic mother (you have a gorgeous little girl to prove you know what you are doing).

Karina - lol, I did say no. It was just lucky that my excuse was we would be to squished with 2 babies and 3 adults, if Grace wasn't here I don't know what I would have said. OMG for your horrid night, fingers crossed for a better one tonight. How sweet of you DH, at least he acknowledges the work you do. I am a lucky one, my DH probably changes more nappies than me! He gets up through the night when he isn't working the next day and will change her nappy while I get ready to feed, as I said, very lucky.

Sonia - I thought the same thing that maybe I needed to spend more time trying to establish a routine at home. We are trying to get Grace used to sleeping in her cot in the day which will obviously come with time, it won't come if we aren't home to put her in her cot!! Problem is sometimes I just need to get out, I find the days that I am home alone all day, just grace and I, more tiring and stressful than going out! For some reason I find dealing with Grace if she is upset easier if there are other people around. Does anyone else feel like this? No advice on feeding I'm afraid, hope you get some advice.

Jo - thanks. How funny that you have the same photo. Very cute.

Oops gotta run...
