Katie loves the sling we're using...essentially a 'front cross wrap' which goes over both shoulders and snuggles her up against my chest. I made it myself as it's basically just a strip of fabric that is 5m x 50cm that ties around me. But you can buy them commercially of course, eg Hugaboo. Good luck in your search.

Hi Natasha, glad you found us. lol. Read your birth story, sounds like mine... except my labour wasn't as long and i didnt have any drugs. lol
Charli is 'demand' feeding as well so shes feeding every 2-4hrs, sometimes she even wants a feed half hour after her last, but im not complaining yet, not until she puts on some more weight.
Alyssa was sick this morn and DP was out training for his forklift license, im so not looking forward to him going back to work its not gonna be easy on days like this where lys is sick and charli is hungry and then doesn't wanna sleep for almost 4 hours.
Kylie- lol @ logan being a chubba, sounds like he's growing perfectly.
I'm off to update on other threads before charli gets hungry again.

Hi. I'm finally able to join you all in here!
Not that I really have any time or energy to post much!
Hope everyone's doing well and enjoying their new bubs.
I am still finding my feet a little with Samuel. He's a great baby and is feeding well now and putting on weight. Does anyone else have a particular time of the day when baby is unsettled? It seems that between 8pm and 11pm every evening Samuel gets tired but won't go to sleep for longer than ten minutes at a time! This was also the time of day he was most active when I was pregnant with him. Interesting.
He woke up this morning with a bit of a rash around his neck and under his several chins! Totally freaked me out. Spoke to the child health nurse on the phone and she said it's heat rash and is common in that area. Poor little guy. Although he doesn't seem bothered by it.
DH has gone back to work today so it will be interesting to see how I cope without him. He's been such a Super Dad.
Well, going to go and have something to eat and try to get some more sleep before Samuel wakes up.

Melanie, yep, evenings are unsettled for us too. Katie wakes from an afternoon nap between 5 and 7pm and refuses to go to sleep again (apart from catnaps) until 11pm to 1am. On good nights though she doesn't wake up again until after 5am...so it's not all bad.

hey lira- sorry to hear bout immy, poor baby, hope she feels better soon. charli was back up to her birth weight by day 4, she does like 4+ poo's a day, although i've heard of some bubs who only poo once every couple of days. dbl check with your mchn jic though.
Charli is having arsenic hr all daytoday, she just wants to feed and feed and not sleep. dp and i had to tag team to eat our dinner tonight. lol.
Hope every1 and all the bubs r well.

Hi Lira, I've been told that it is quite common for newborns to go up to 10 days without a poo, so you probably don't need to worry too much. But as Kirra said, check with the nurse if you're concerned.
