belfie - Maybe you can get X to share some of his weight with Maya. She went from 5.3 kgs at 4 months to 5.4 kgs at 5 months!

Sami - Where are you getting your b/f necklace from? I like the idea of it but with my quick internet search saw that they are $35 which I think is expensive - specially when I don't know if it'll actually work or not. Enjoy your movie tomorrow.

katones - I'm the opposite. I want Maya to use her thumb to settle herself so that she can self settle cos sometimes she has throws a tantrum with the dummy! Oh and I agree monitor could be a good idea. We use a monitor now that Maya is in her own room. I think my DH likes having it there for reassurance and I need it there cos I am partially deaf.

kuraiza - There's a b/f necklace on the ABA shop site. Or do a search for b/f necklace. But basically from what I can see it's just a bunch of different shaped and coloured beads you put around your neck. hmm.. maybe I can make my own...

csab - I hope V is feeling better soon. I can empathise with the migrane. I had one last night.

Happy Birthday Georgi!!

Yesterday I realised that I have been highly stressed for such a long time now. First with her sleep (which is better at the moment BTW) and now her feeding. And that stress prob isn't helping with my milk flow and production. So I'm trying to relax more and not worry about her weight! If I hadn't gotten her weighed I would still be thinking everything's fine. Though I can't help worry a little and I am going to take her to the doctors. But my plan for now is to try and get her to feed longer and express whenever I can. I can't get much out but she'll happily drink the few mls I get out which is a few extra calories.

Then this afternoon I noticed my right boob is rock hard in a part of it so now I think I have a blocked duct. So now I have something new to stress about! I'm trying to massage it, using heat packs, trying to express, trying to get Maya to feed from it but it's not budging.
