HI Ladies

In regards to bubs wanting to suck/feed at night I had these issues with Jordan when he was a bubs. I was feeding him every hour as he woke and wanted to suck. I dont think its a supply issue at all rather than them needing a comfort suck. Have you tried a dummy? I used to hold it in Jordans mouth as he could never work out how to keep it in and he would fall off to sleep.
As a BF mother I know when bubs is unsettled we always think its us that has something wrong ie. not enough milk or ate something that is upsetting bubs. I would keep the water intake up as this does help with supply however I would try the dummy to see if they sleep without a feed.

Liam had an unsettled night. I fed him at 10pm, he went 5 hrs from the last feed which was good. He then woke up 2 for a feed and then woke again at 4am. As he didnt need to be fed I ask DH to settle him. Liam did have dirty nappy but then DH bought him in for a BF as he couldnt settle him. He did fall asleep after a bit of a feed and then was up again at 7.30am. I held him off till 8am and then DH took him and Jordan to swimming lessons and they are still not home.
I have been able to do the floors, a load of washing and mr sheen the house, I feel so productive.

LMK DH wants to hold off on the cubby till xmas also. I think it is a good combined pressie and it will assist in getting some of the BIG toy items out of the house. I hope Abbie is more settled for you today.

Jess good luck on your 1st day with the kids on your own. I found it a little daunting but I am sure you will do fine. Just remember you cant do everything and prioritise the important things.

well I better hang the washing out as I dont think it will do it itself.... take care
