teach - all his measurements are at the 10%. paed said he's thriving no problems just that he's at the bottom. i dont know if it's to do with infacol that's making him sleepy. im starting to cut down as he doesnt seem to have much wind now. maybe he's sleeping lots cos it's cold? our house gets quite cold. he's been wide awake since 8.30 so maybe he's got day and night confused?
so far it makes my day time easy but that's not good if he's sleeping too much.

Morning girls,

I had a good sleep for a change, hubby did the early morning feed which was at 1:30am and then I woke up at 4:30 to get him ready for his feed again and my mum woke up and sent me back to bed so she could do it for us. So, I had a good sleep getting to bed around 10:30, and only waking up at 4:30am, then again for his 7:30am feed. Still averaging every 2-4 hours..... All depends really..... I look forward to a regular routine in the sense so I can say yeah he eats every 3 hours or something haha Just sent hubby back to bed, because he didn't catch-up on any sleep yesterday so is really exhausted. If I can get hubby all rested then we can head out later this morning

I need more baby washing detergent, I go through it so quickly.... Washing baby clothes or nappies everyday. Need to buy some more BBH nappies so I can wash them every second day instead of everyday!!! I have 10 fitted,8 magic alls, 4 pul covers and 2 wool covers. So, I think I just need another 6 fitted and 6 pulls to be right. Poor little DJ has a bit of a nappy rash, just a redness around his butt hole, I am guessing that is a nappy rash so putting on some powder and cream to help heal it up and make it more comfortable for him.

Prama - are you still considering doing the postnatal with bub at Hills Yoga??? I am going to put my name down and just noticed from her site that I need to wait until 8 weeks for a c-section arghhhh I will see if I can push it for 6 weeks though

Let me know and we can try to go to the same class

Andie - I have a problem with DJ not being able to latch onto my boob when they are really full so I do try to empty them with a bit of expressing first, and still no luck so I have to use a nipple shield if I breastfeed which normally is only 1-2 times a day because I find breastfeeding uncomfortable, purely because DJ prefers the football grip and it means I have to lean forward and my back, shoulders and neck kill in this position. Hoping to go to Babies Galore to look at breastfeeding pillows etc so I can breastfeed more. So, I know what you mean.... A friend of mine her little one is almost 5 weeks old and she only needs to feed him 8-10 mins on each side and that is enough for him. She has so much milk supply that she squirts - can't wait for that to happen to me.

well, I better get some expressing done, so have a good day girls.

Shell xxxx

I'm so tired at night and first thing in the morning so I've started waiting until Jazz actually starts crying before feeding her. I normally would do it when I hear her starting to fuss but I'm getting lazy. Often though it works, she'll fuss a bit and sometimes I might give her a dummy and get another half to one hour sleep before she really lets me know that she wants me.
