NaNa - Sounds like you are settling right into life with a baby. I'm envious!! And way to go on being back in your old jeans! I still have a long way to go before I reach that point...

Deancey - Sounds like Jordan and Liam are both settling in well. My lochia is the opposite - hardly anything at night but a little more during the day when I am moving about doing things. But still, it is very light now so nice and managable. No mad rush to get undies and a pad in place when I get out of the shower anymore. I hate that bit!

Mecil - yep, my left boob is bigger and gets more full and sprays more than the right. I had terrible cracks on the right that took 3 months to heal last time and have a massive scar on that nipple so not sure if it's due to that or just because my left was always going to be the milkier side? It gives me a little bit of a logistics problem with trying to make sure each baby gets equal time on the 'good' boob though!! LOL

Sarah - Right now, 5 hours of broken sleep is sounding luxurious! But I know what you mean - you very quickly get used to 6 hours or whatever you manage to get and then you miss it when it's gone! I hope Juliette returns to her former sleepiness tonight for you. I hate the way the MCN put so much emphasis on baby weight. It causes so much unnecessary stress for mothers IMO.

Nikki - Abbie sounds like such a calm, settled baby. I have heard lots of mums say #3 is a charm - do you think she's easier than your others?

As for us - I feel like I am coping far better than I did with the newborn stage last time. If I just had 1 baby, I'd be getting lots of sleep and just cruising. But there's two! eek! They seem to play tag-team and take it in turns to be unsettled. They were doing really well for a while but last night Hazel was unsettled from her feed at 6:30pm until she finally fell asleep at 2am. She was screaming with what I think was a sore, windy tummy. Then Imelda woke for a feed at 4:30am, got her fed and settled and then Hazel woke again at 6am. Then my toddler was up for the day at 7am. So I got a total of about 2 hours sleep.
My last baby never had problems with wind so I don't know what to do! I have tried every recommended position I can find - massage, walking etc etc. When Eleanor wakes up I think we are off to the chemist for some Infacol or similar - I can't take another night like last night!! Now just to figure out how to make it to the chemist with the 3 of them on my own...
