belfie - maybe I should charge a finders fee for the Infacol! 3am post hey .... well my boy didn't wake for his feed until 4.10 this morning so I shoulda got on and posted at 4.40 I haven't used it for 2 days now in hope that he is able to get wind out by himself and he is doing ok. But, wouldn't hesitate to use it, especially for the overnight/bed time feeds!!

Yes, I have a waterfall when I have a let-down too - bu Zander is just starting to cope with it so that is good too - about time my boobs started to settle down though hmmmm ....

Went shopping and bought 2 new tops today - ones I can breastfeed in - I have been living in jeans and t-shirts pretty much and wanted something a bit nicer for Christmas. My pre-baby tops don't fit me cos of my boobs/back at the moment but come the new year all of that should settle down.

georgi - I am hoping Zander is on his way to sleeping through - keeping him up and letting him have a snooze in my arms from around 7 - 7.30 - then a little play and a top-up feed and the last two nights he hasn't woken until 4am for a feed - fingers crossed he shouldn't be too far away now ... by Christmas would be nice.

big Hi to everyone else

Hollye - I did take picture of him in his big boy clothes - but haven't set up a gallery or anything on here - one of those things I keep saying I must do, but time wise just don't get around to - much like cleaning the shelves in the walk-in pantry But keeping sane is more important.

I am very lucky Zander doesn't have the witching/arsenic hours at night time - I think the kids keep him so well entertained - even when he is overtired he doesn't cry much, just one or two big squawks which either mean - sit me up I need to burp, or I wanna try and go to sleep please help me.

belfie - second mention - imagine a Maxwell Smart voice - "the old feed, play, sleep routine hey".. hehe re your settling class. Riley was fabulous at this routine - Giselle was ok, but zander's is out the window and sometimes he goes to bed twice before another feed, and then catnaps at school drop-offs and all that stuff - but he copes really well cos he has to! But yes, for babies it is great if they can learn to predict/know what comes next so Zander is still wrapped for this reason - plus I think he would poke an eye out too .... like today we wanted to go shopping, he had been down about 30 minutes so I just had to pick him up and put him in the car, whereas with #1 I just would have waited till he woke - aaaah such is life. But once we got there, I sorta wrapped him in the pram so he knew it was still sleep time ...

Tomorrow I am having morning tea with some other girls from work who are on mat leave - 5 of us with babies all born within 2 months of each - amazing. When I say from my work - I "work" with 200 people in the building so maybe not that amazing - but kinda is cos we all know each other pretty well. Does that make sense? Oh well must be time for a coffee for me then .....
