Only in the last couple of weeks have I been able to put L down awake and he falls asleep by himself. Prior to that I would need to pat/stroke his head, pat/rub his tummy etc until he was asleep. We still have occassions when he we are in and out of his room to put the dummy back in. Looking back now I think he may have been hungry due to my supply issues. He is sleeping longer and easier to get to sleep since I have been supplementing my BM.

Major bugger - I think my breast pump is broken. It doesn't have any suction in electronic mode, so have had to resort to manual pumping. Given that I am suppossed to be expressing at every feed, this is going to make the whole process even longer

Viv - we're showing our age being able to remember when Michael Hutchence died. I am sure some of the young ones in here are going Michael who???

Mo - sorry to hear you're not well. I hope your stay in hospital is a short one.
