Morning all,

Well the weekend wasnt too bad. Friday night was ok few night feedsa but saturday night Tiahna had another screaming attack and everytime we'd settle her down and then put her in the bassinette or pram she's last 5 mins and scream for another hour... DP's first time at hime while this happened and he just couldnt handle it... He'd take her for 5 mins and pass her back... in the end by 2.30 i had decided to just let her cry herself to sleep but it gets inside your head and makes me feel like i could scream cos i dont know what else to try... I had the pillow over my head trying to think of something else to try when DP took her in the lounge room into the rocker and like magic she went to sleep... he brought it in and she slept in it till 5am...

So last night i just put her straigh in the rocker to sleep for the night and she feel asleep at 11, woke up at 2, then 5 so not too bad... mind you it was cold this morning even with the heat on...

Sunday we had our first BIG outing.... she was wonderful... slept in the car and i fed her at our friends house we had lunch and she woke up just as it was being served up but i had brought a bottle of EBM so i was able to eat while someone else fed her... But gosh i paid for it later... My boobs were so sore on the way home and when i got hom i had to express both sides as they were leaking like a tap and so engorged they were killing me... been trying to express from one side and feed from the other every few feeds so i can increase my supply for when i return to work i can have no problems with expressing... Tiahna is fussy with the bottle though... I have several different types and she seems to only ATM like the tommy tippee ones... There for combining breast and bottle???

Nana- you poor thing...hopefully it wont be an ongoing thing...

Ticklish and deancey- i feel for you... i love getting out of the house. when i had DP home we were out from the first week with the 2 kids and now i make at least 1 weekly trip either to the to the park lor ocal shops (woolies and Big W) or try to get to the bigger ones even if i dont buy anything just to get out of the house away from all the house work i struggle to get done

And yes an awesome weight gain deancey... finally some reassurance that she's getting enough....

nana- things are ok in the reflux department but every few nights we get a bad one...hoping it only lasta a few months at most and eases up... aweful to see your bub in pain and discomfort..

well best be off, have to do some laundry
