Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone has had a great day. I've been having trouble getting onto the website too.... I've been blaming our internet so I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Abb34 - Glad to hear we're not the only ones having 15min feeds. Aidan's been settling well and gaining weight so I'm not too worried about it. Having said that he's had a few longer feeds in the last couple of days - 30mins - so maybe he's just maturing and getting stronger and will now start feeding for longer.

Je$$ - Sorry to hear Tiahna has a blocked nose. Aidan has had some noisy snot since he's been home but it doesn't seem to bother him too much. Does Tiahna have a lot of mucous that you can see in her nose? I've just bought the Fess "Little Noses" - my sis is a nurse with 3 small children and recommended it. I haven't used it yet but its some saline drops that you can put in bubs nose to thin the mucous and then a sucker that you use to suck out the snot as they obviously can't blow their nose. It will be very handy to have this if Aidan ever gets a cold.

Mecil & NaNa - Glad to hear I'm not the only one really going through the breast pads. I was hoping the boobies would have settled by now but they may be even getting worse in the leaking department. In the hosp I used some Johnson's & Johnson's breast pads but now I'm on the Pigeon ones. I really like them. They're very thin and have absorptive stuff in them (like in nappies and pads) that keeps moisture away from the skin so you always feel dry - probably not the cheapest though.

Beckstar - Congrats on your bubba and I hope all is going well.

Aidan's been really good. He's got a lovely nature and is quite a placid baby. His only trouble is he loves to play in the wee hours of the morning. I was up from 1:30 until 3:30 this morning. He was just up and wanting fun. I was soooooo tired but he was soooo cute. Also we weighed Aidan on Tuesday and the little tacker has put on 540g in the last week! I'm not sure how accurate that is though. We used different scales at the health clinic today. Last time he was weighed I'm sure he was actually heavier than the scales said so he's probably not put on quite that much. He now weighs 3590g (7lb14oz). So our little man is really catching up! So I'm definitely not concerned about the short feed times now - he's obviously just a little piggy and likes to eat quickly.

I hope you all have a good night.
