Hi Tegan, welcome to the Oct babies club (although I'm cheating a little, bub arrived early). I hope the feeding problems settle down. I had awful pain with no 1 as he had a tongue-tie and couldn't attach. The good new is that it does get easier as they get bigger. And the lactation consultant should help too.

Thomas is feeding well but seems to get windy for the middle of the night feed. Most feeds take 30 mins to one hour, the 1:30 ish feed mostly takes at least 2 hours (up to 4 hours one night), as he feeds a little then gets windy and vomitty and then after a while feeds again etc etc. The MCHN I rang suggested trying a dummy, but we never used one with Jack and Thomas doesn't need it the rest of the time so I'm not really wanting to start a habit that might be hard to break. She also suggested a bath might help and if everything is ready before I go to bed it might not be so daunting to bath him in the middle of the night. Maybe I'll try that tonight.

It's great news that the Oct bubs are finally starting to arrive. I'm so pleased for Kate, and it looks like Emma might have a baby or be in labour now.

Come join us girls!!
