Anna**- I'm still exclusively BFing, Ash sounds like Xander, always on the boob, although with Ash she also likes a feed when she's tired. So she is on there alot. Although these days she won't even fall asleep on the boob anymore so I have such a hard time settling her. The only prob I have with the regular feeding is the fact i get no break, its hard to try and get out between feeds knowing you have to rush back soon for the next one!

little*princess- God that gravy on the dummy sounds like my MIL wanting to put honey on a teat to get Ash to take a bottle.

rikki- My hair is desperate for a cut and color! I'm so jealous. Glad to hear you've had a great xmas.

Jodi- God Jodi, I hope it doesn't last 5 weeks! I have the wonder weeks too and it says with Ash's age over this last week she should be in a okay phase so I really don't know what is going on there. Good luck with Nina.

Nelle- I wish Ash would feed 4 hourly. I get one arge break at night and the rest I'm very lucky to get to 3.

Out of curiosity how does everyone else go about settling their bubs for day sleeps? I have tried to look for tired signs and put her down but as soon as I do she gets this second wind and starts playing so I leave her awhile then she starts crying and won't settle unless she has the boob but lately evn after she has that she still won't sleep and I try patting, rocking, sometimes the bouncer will work other times she'll just whinge in it. Its become a nightmare, I spend more time settling her for a sleep than the time spent actually sleeping!
