Hello...had a normal light last night thank god! She still hasn't pooed but doing lots of really stinky farts today so hopefully not too far away.

Cass - I asked the MCHN about water and was told that she doesn't need it as she gets the water from me. If she hasn't gone in another couple of days I think I will definitely be giving her some though.

Karina - Grace has been doing that for over a month. I posted in the breastfeeding chat thread and didn't get many responses unfortunately, but she is putting on weight, happy in between feeds and lots of wet nappies. Also if I try to express after feeding her there isn't much left (I can get maybe 20mls, whereas if I express while DH bottle feeds I can get over 140ml). I worried about supply but so far so good. I usually persist with the coming on and off for a couple of times then sit her up for a burp. Sometimes burps sometimes doesn't, so put her back on again then swap sides and we go through it again. She usually feeds in 10 minutes (both sides). As long as she is happy, putting on weight and having wet nappies then she is getting enough.

Jo - I feel the same way. The love is amazing isn't it! How cute that he smiled and laughed at your mum.

Sarah - yay on the better sleep. We have just started to wean Grace out of the wrap as she is constantly trying to suck her hands. We want to get her into a sleeping bag. Good luck with it.

Went for a walk this morning - can't believe how many people were out walking at 9am! It was cold and foggy too. Grace is currently ont he floor with her nappy off (I am praying for poo!).
