Hi girls,

Finally had a chance to hop on and say hi..... arghhh another unsettled morning with DJ arghhhhh He has been wanting to feed every 2 hours today and just won't settle and sleep, he has only had 1 hour sleep since 5am this morning. We both think it is a case of bad wind, but we both can't clear it out, tried all holds and patting his bum etc just can't get rid of it. Just fed him and hoping this will be it, he is yawning heaps so hubby is trying to settle him down to sleep, so we can get some rest

I am expressing mostly now and feeding him around 80ml feeds, sometimes he takes it all and sometimes he leaves 15-20ml. I find breastfeeding so uncomfortable, my back and shoulders and neck kill me, because he prefers to be in the football grip which means I have to sit forward and just can't get comfortable. I was hoping to get to Babies Galore today and check out gliding rocking chairs and breastfeeding pillows etc, but we need to make sure DJ has a good solid sleep before heading out anywhere. I don't know if I can continue breastfeeding past 3-4 month mark, I am always exhausted after expressing or breastfeeding...... I am hoping I can get myself to at least 4 months, but I just don't think I can get through to 6 months, it is just too exhausting....

Sorry I am not doing any personals today - feel so slack for not doing any, but my brain is all gobbledegook....

I really wanted to get him weighed at the baby clinic up the road but can only go up between 1:30-3:00pm, so I might just see if he gets a good solid sleep before even contemplating taking him out to get weighed. He has definitely put on weight, very heavy that is for sure..... I am still waiting on the community nurse coming out to see me as well, I am on the high priority list though, so hopefully they will come out soon.

Once again, sorry for no personals.....
