Hiya ladies, MY GOODNESS!!! How on earth am I supposed to keep up with you ladies...how do you find the time to do personals etc??!!

OK I will try my best to at least post so you dont forget who I am.

I feel ALLthe mixed emotions of motherhood, at night when I am up feeding and watching telly, I sometimes feel so tired that I want to just fall asleep. I feel the urge to cry creep up every now and then, and sometimes Mum will say something about how well I am doing etc and I will burst into tears.

Girls, I have it so good here. Having my Mum here has really been a saviour...and Heath is also so helpful and I am blessed to have had them both here during these first few days of Motherhood. I probably would have fallen in a heap as well If I had to deal with all this on my own.
Hmmm....miss Paigey Pops is doing well, she is zonked as the MHCN once again arrived just as we had settled her and got her off to sleep...so she had only been asleep for 30min before having to be woken. We bothed crashed before, and she woke for a burp and a top up and is now flaked again.

What is your feeding routine looking like now ladies?

Paige is on one boob for between 10 and 20 minutes - I then wind her, offer her the other side...once she has decided what she wants to do with it I either continue to feed her, or change her nappy. Once she is changed I offer her the other side again and she usually has a drink before being settled to sleep. Some times she takes aaaaages to settle, some times she is out like a light. I am using the nappy changing time as her 'PLAY' part of her sleep, feed, play, sleep routine.
Today she went in her rocker/swing for the first time as her 'play' and she loved it. Trying to introduce small 'play' sessions during the day, even if its a walk to the end of the street and back in her pram, and keep the nighttime as quiet as possible...see how we go. We have our bath at around the same-ish time each night so we can get that nighttime wind down association with her. It may work, it may not...it worked brilliantly for my 2 neices so I am trying to follow SIL's advice.
Of course all this is flexible!!!!!!

Paige is still slightly jaundice and is a sleepy baby when on the boobie - but she is putting on weight which is the main thing.

Lanisohl rubs for the sore nipples!!
Moochies for all our lovely September bubs...and ((((HUGS))) to all the tired mummies,
