Hi everyone!

OMG a secong thread already! Ok don't have time to read back through the last one sorry, he he what a bunch of chatterboxes, I love it lol!

mmm's first - I have elevated Elena's bassinette and hoping that it helps with her colic. We'll see how it goes. I've been trying to elevate her after feeds too. I don't have a sling but I might look into getting one, then at least I may be able to get some things done if she is unsettled!

Kelly sorry about your sore nipples. Mine are also sore but I think its due to attachment issues, Elena sometimes doesn't open her mouth wide enough and likes to just take the end of my nipple. Ouch!!

Mel I've also heard that the mini pill can have some side effects. Gosh I haven't even thought about contraception yet, ha ha DTD is the last thing on my mind. Besides I had an episiotomy so not allowed to for a few more weeks yet!

Janet yes it usually takes me between 1-1.5hrs to feed/change/settle and sometimes longer so don't worry you are not alone. I also feel hopeless with getting things done around the house. My lovely mum came over today and did my washing and vacuuming, I was so thankful lol! He he and I was still unshowered and in my pyjamas at 1pm!

I went to my first visit with the maternal/child nurse today and Elena is doing great, she put on 400g. Then I went to my first session of mothers group and it was so great to meet other mums with similar age babies and compare notes! It's nice to know I"m not the only sleep deprived mummy!

Better go I can hear Elena crying, her colic starts to get worse about this time of night poor little bub.
