Georgi - I've been (and still am a lot of the time) where you are now. From about 3 months old Maya stopped taking breast feeds (only a couple of mins on each side) and she stopped sleeping well. It's been such a hard ride for me over the last few months because of her weight. To help with feeds I got an electric breast pump and would express after every feed and then top her up. Then I started giving her a bottle of formula as a dream feed and only expressed morning and night. Now I can't take the expressing twice a day any more so I'm only doing it at night time (though I can't always get anything out). Anyway, Maya is feeding a lot better now on the bb but I don't think it's because of anything I did. I think she just got over the phase she was in. And she will still sometimes only stay on for a couple of mins. What I did was such hard work and I won't do it again. If Maya starts eating poorly again I'll move her over to formula. My long winded point is.. that you have to do what feels right for you. Also, with the sleep schools they don't just focus on sleep. They look at the whole picture and try to sort out any eating issues too. So maybe sleep school is worth a consideration.

csab - I'm so glad that V is doing so well.

Hello everyone else. Where are you all? I expected to log on here and have a heap of messages to read up on. I hope you all had a good long weekend.

I got back into unpacking. I really want to fix this place up finally so that I can have visitors over. I also bought a new vacuum.. which (yes I know it's sad I'm excited about. They didn't have any in stock so we had to order one in. I can't wait to have a vacuum that actually picks up dirt!!

I'm feeling a bit sick today. Sore throat. Hope it doesn't develop into anything else. Specially cos tomorrow I'm going to an info session for some potential at home work! I hope the work turns out to be ok. It'd be nice to be doing something different again and earning some extra $$.
