Hi everyone,

Welcome Erika, congrats on the arrival of Georgia!

Nic - Hooray for finally seeing your MCHN!

Saffi - Glad the settling technique worked for you too. I don't think it matters if they are on their side or back, it is just what works for you and your bub. I have one of those anti-roll pillows so Kieran can't roll onto his tummy.

Kim - I'm sure Jasmine will work out her day from night soon. Especially since you have started waking her for feeds. Kieran has a great birth mark on his right eye-lid. We were told at the hospital that it was a graze because of the way he came out, but yesterday we asked the MCHN about it and she said it is a birth mark that should vanish by 12 months of age. I think it is kind of cute!

Well, we had a much better night last night now that Kieran is on Infacol drops and we have settling all sorted. He is still waking 3 - 3.5 hourly for o/night feeds, but I think it won't be long before he can stretch out a bit.

I went to a post-natal physio class this morning at the hospital which was good. My stomach muscles have separated to 2.5 finger widths so the physio gave me a stretchy girdle-type things to wear around my tummy and showed us some exercises to help it go back to normal. Hopefully it goes back soon!
