I know I haven't been posting much since Cooper was born, but I read when I get the chance. My mum is down from Sydney at the moment so I dont get online as much as usual.
Congrats to Kim and family on the birth of Toby. Can't wait to see pics and hear how the insuction went. Sorry I didn't reply to your sms, got sidetracked
Cooper is going well. I did have 4 really bad days with him where he was just fighting sleep after every feed. It would take 2+ hours to get him to sleep. It was exhausting, physically and emotionally. He isn't breastfeeding, but its probably my fault as I am so slcak in trying to get him on. I had such an awful experience with it in hospital I just associate bad times with BF and get uptight when I think about it. I have been expressing full feeds. Last night I decided to try him on just formula, and he is back to a calm and content baby who sleeps and doesnt scream. I am going to do a trial and error this week, and if formula seems to make him happier, then I will stop expressing and change to formula. He seems happier on formula, which means I am happier and we are both getting sleep.
I hope you are all well and enjoying your babies. I am thinking of you all. Will try to get on and post more regularly.
