thanks jodi...DS seems to have a lot of feeds in the evening too and have been offering my finger when I think he just wants to suck, seems to be doing tthe trick.

klee - thanks for that info...it is encouraging...i am tending not to worry tooo much about it now until he gets weighed on wednesday...

last night we had a great night with feeding and sleeping but tonight not so good...my left boob is blocked up and engorged and i have a blister on my right nipple...so josh is fussing at each feed so they are taking ages and he's wanting it more often so i haven't even had a chance to try and express the left for some relief...he also has a blocked right nostril which is making him unhappy i think.
