Thanks for the welcome girls. Sorry if it takes me awhile to get to know you all. My brain isn't at its peak atm!!

AJP - I can't believe your litle one sleeps for 10hrs! I am amazed if Logan goes 2 1/2 - 3hrs.

Ann- Ella sounds like she is doing great also. Are the night feeds taking you long or does she go straight back down again?

Kim - Yeah for a happily growing Chelsea and a good sleeper also! My maternal health nurse says they often start to sleep longer/better when they hit the 5kg mark. Hoping for myself this is the case!

Christy - sounds like it is tough work with two young ones on the go. We will probably be trying for no2 within the next 12mths - not sure i am going to be prepared/able to cope with another but I guess millions of families do it and survive.

Vicky - thanks for the reassurance. I am going on my instincts atm and doing what works and keeps us all the most content. I don't like the "right" and "wrong" theories on how a baby should be raised - they just cause me anxiety if i think about it to much. I am not going to tell people about the co-sleeping anymore as everyone (other than in here) is so negative about it - I don't want to feel guilty about doing something that feels right and means I am getting some sleep!
Mind you, I would like to get Logan out of our bed sometime in the nearish future just so we can have "mummy - daddy time" !
Glad Aston is doing well. Did your other children breast feed ok as well? What do they think of their brother?

Went for maternal health nurse check up today - early given it will be xmas when he hits 4 weeks.
Logan has put on almost 500g in 9 days and is now just of 4kgs!!! Guess the hospital was wrong in saying they thought I might not have enough milk.No wonder I am hungry all the time! Probably also at least partially explains his colicky symptoms - trying to digest too much food poor fella1
Anyway at least he is thriving and i think (don't want to jinx myself) settling a little more. certainly seem to be getting some longer sleeps during the day.
