Danni - I hope Mason is ok, and Kristen yay for Mia, can you get her to spill her secret to Izzy please??

Quick one here - Im back to broadband - yay -dial up sucks. Izzy was up THREE times last night - its doing my head in so Im on Operation Routine Sleep School again!! 3 hourly feeds, not feeding to sleep and nap times at set time (only up for 1 1/2 hours) fingers crossed it helps her night sleeps too. I got a bit slack with when I was feeding her, and because it was easy I would get her up during nap time and feed her to sleep when she cried. Baaad idea. So back to our routine and we will see what happens. I think she was feeding too frequently but not for long enough - lots of snacking and so is pretty hungry and feeding well at night SO far 2 naps today - she has grizzled for 20 mins each time, but I havent taken her out of her cot - just settled her by patting and stroking. Not too bad.

Shes also kicking the ***** out of me at feed time - grrrrr if its not one thing- its another Its like she has found her legs all of a sudden - shes never still! Well better go fly - (any of you flying??!!) Im just using the emails each day to motivate myself to clean up this sty so I pick out one or two things to focus on!
Back later.

ETA: 2 feeds last night - but it took her over an hour to get to sleep in the first place.... usually we feed and straight to bed and she will sleep. Last night the minute I put her down there was screaming and tears. It took me rocking her and walking her in my arms to get her down. She did sleep once I fed her during the night thank goodness but Im about beside myself wondering whats going on. Seperation anxiety? My milk? Growth sput? Routine change? Its all just beyond me and Im back to feeling useless again. Back later when I pull myself out of this damn rut.
