BELFIE I second what Sami said. Don't worry about the ease up of poops. B has eased up his poos too. Though occaisionally he has an explosive, up the back one.

PP I feel for you. I can't imagine being up all night like you are with Ethan

SAMI Sounds like B & Z are very similar. I have to settle B every 45 mins or so, but he sleeps great overnight. He goes down around 7 or 8, wakes at 1 or 2am, then at 5 or 6am. If I go to bed around 8.30/9/30 I find I get a solid sleep. I'm hoping he'll drop that 1/2am feed too. Do you reckon I need to do anything to help drop it? Like try to re settle him instead of feed him? Or should he drop it on his own?

KYLIE No worries.. Hope that helped

HELLY Hope those nipples ease up for you. Ouch

BELFIE I used the Medela Symphony when B was in the SCN. I really liked it too. I don't have anything now. I just feed B every time. I still have 10ltrs of expressed milk in my freezer

ITSME I agree with Belfie, but don't know if you want to spend the money to hire one. B only takes 10-20 mins to feed & has 1.5hours wake time so I can fit the whole routine in quite easily. It sounds like you're starting the right way. I started with only once or twice a day until B had more awake time

Well I've had an unusual afternoon with B. I think he was over stimulated with meeting his cousins for the first time. He fed at 2.30, 4.30 & 6.30. He has never done this before. He is a 4 hourly feeder. He hardly slept all afternoon. He finally went to sleep at 8pm so I'm hoping tonight is the night that he sleeps through. Considering he fed all afternoon he should be full for the night. I'll let you's know how we go.... Fingers crossed.
