Hello mums and bubs!

Thanks for all the recommendations for Lansinoh...seems to be brilliant stuff and lots of mums swear by it. I'm happy to report that my nipples are toughening up...finally! Not quite to the leather stage, but they're getting there

We've had a really great couple of nights, with India only waking every 3-4 hours (instead of every 1-2!) so Mummy and Daddy are much happier We have a nurse from the Early Childhood centre coming to visit on Thurs so she'll weigh Indie then I imagine. At 4 days post-birth, she'd only lost 5g of her birth weight!! The middies couldn't believe it, said they'd only seen that happen a couple of times before. It was a huge relief as I was paranoid that I wasn't providing enough milk, especially as I had no leaks pre-birth. Glad I make a good cow!

Ange, you are so lucky that Luella doesn't cry much! We had an awful couple of hours with Indie yesterday - she was wailing for no apparent reason She was fed, burped, changed, cuddled, didn't have wind, wasn't too hot/cold...but she just cried and cried. That sux about your BP still being high...is there anything you can do/take for it? LOL @ the projectile poo!

Qhi, WTG on Theo's weight gain...I'd say any weight gain is good! What a cheeky boy, pooing while he was being weighed! LOL I'm sure you'll take at least one spare change of clothes for him everywhere now Bring on the leather nipples!

Ursula, I think the tears are completely normal...I'm blaming the hormones! I didn't have the 3-day blues - mine didn't arrive until day 6...felt a little overwhelmed by it all, but we are back on track now. Getting into a routine certainly helps! Don't feel sad about FF Maddi...you have to do what is best for your baby Hopefully she will be happier about sleeping in her cradle soon. We had India in bed with us a few times as it was the only way she'd settle.

Amber, WTG on your first big adventure! It's very exciting (and damn nerve-wracking!) when you start venturing out into the big wide world. Sorry that Myles only slept for a couple of hours at a time last night - nights like that are really tough, make sure you take some time out for an afternoon nap! I totally hear you on wondering how bub could possibly be hungry again!! LOL

Mo, how did your appt go today? Sounds like Maddi is a brilliant sleeper - I could only dream of getting a 5 hour gap between feeds!

We need some more bubbas in here...where is the rest of the gang?! I think it's only Viv, Yael, Kim and Catherine who are yet to pop...
