Rachel, just had the same problem putting Sebastian in his cot tonight. Wouldn't sleep, or when he did he'd just wake up crying. Brought him downstairs and he's snuggled up in his bouncer, obviously just decided it was too lonely up there by himself! Sometimes you just have to go with what works, don't you?! Sorry she was so upset on your birthday for you.

I'm having some success expressing at last - finally managed to get about 100ml last night, will have another go tonight. Letdown seemed to take ages though, which meant I didn't get to bed early enough, then S woke up after an hour and a half wanting a feed so fed him, then put him to bed, just get into bed myself and he fills his nappy!! So up I get again, change him (had already changed him after his feed, of course! Typical!) and finally got back to bed after midnight, then up again at 4 because M started early this morning. Tomorrow I am SLEEPING IN!!
