Hey girls - sooooo busy in here! Right lets see how i manage today!!

Kelly - I feel for you hun - I went back to the hospital and saw the LC there - as my nipple is only slightly grazed and not really damaged at all, plus Izzy has a light white coating on her tongue so she put it down to thrush. Its easy to treat but it hasnt kicked in yet so i have to use a sheild on my right - which confuses her quite a bit when she goes back to normal nipple ...grrrrr. I have to keep up the sheild though otherwise Im literally crying in pain when she feeds and was really dreading every feed which is not a good state of mind to be in. Hope you find something that helps, is ther someone at your hospital you can get onto?? - good luck.

Sarah - congrats on your course - must be a relief and so worth all the hassle now!! Hope your night routine works for you guys - we do the same - bath time is great -she loves it and really seems to settle her at night. By the way PMSL at you squirting milk into Noahs eye although ive read the same thing!! Hee hee!

Lis - hope the colic relief gives you and Elena both a relief so you can get some rest and my parents live in Kilsyth!! Small world!!

Ash - I hear you on the personals this is my first attempt and Im afraid its pretty p*** poor!

Sez - - I grew up in Croydon - we are almost neighbours!! Isnt it amazing what one day differnce makes - Izzy was so unsettled yesterday feeding at odd times every hour to every hour and a half and not sleeping for more than 30 minutes and since midnight shes back to her 3 hour pattern.....bliss.

Lulu - hope Isabelle settles for you and gives you a break hun... she will probably have put on heaps of weight with all that feeding!!

Danni - glad Mason is fattening up for you - little champ!! Hope you getting lots of rest!

Tess - so pleased for you and looking forward to reading all about it in January!!!

To everyone else I have missed - apologies i cant read back any further but I have been reading lots and keeping up!

Well as I said Isabelle has been an angel since midnight after her restless day yesterday, sleeping for 3 hours and feeding better. Mums here to help today making dinner for us as we speak and helping me get into some sort ouf routine as Im still feeling so clueless. Al keeps telling me that Im fine - but I really feel so useless when she is screaming just fed changed etc.... I hate not knowing whats wrong. Having this demon nipple doesnt help much either - hoping the treatment will kick in very soon!

Anyway -better go and see if I can have a bit of a rest before she wakes again- have a great day mums and bubs!!
