nelle - when Nina fills her nappy during a feed, I stop her, change her, then put her back to the breast. She hates a dirty nappy and won't feed until it's off!! Not sure if it'll work for you, but does for us.
re: changing sides - Nina will feed for about 15-20 min one on side and will completely drain that, I then burp her and offer the second side. Very rarely will she take the other side, and if she does, then it's like dessert, as Belle said! Nina was a very sleepy baby in the first 3 weeks, but if she was hungry she'd let me know. Then after 3 weeks, she 'woke up' and hardly sleeps at all during the day.
And yes, it does get better!

little*princess - I went on the mini pill last week, although I'm hopeless when it comes to remembering to take them and keep forgetting! Before that we weren't using anything.

caddie & skorpy - hope things settled down for you guys and you got some rest.

Not much happening this side of the world with us ... Nina is feeding much more during the day, still have my fingers crossed she'll start sleeping through the night soon. Have a good day girls, and babies, be good to your mothers!
