I think I'm going to go insane with this child. She's started feeding every 2 hours during the day now, and she was sleeping through the night (which lasted just over a week), but now wakes for feeds. She started waking just once for a feed, but now she's waking three times a night!! I've tried just giving her the dummy before offering her the boob to see if she will settle, and she won't. And she's having a good feed at these times as well. She's still having plenty of wet nappies, is gaining weight and is a very content baby, so I don't think it's my milk supply. Even when we give her a bottle of formula, she still wakes a couple of times a night, it makes no difference. Any suggestions?

littlep - that's great that Alexander is gaining weight and that your mastitis is clearing up! I noticed he's grown 1cm in 5 wks - Nina grew 7cm in 7wks, I wonder if that's normal?

nelle - Nina seems to have the same personality as River - stubborn, fights sleeping and knows what she wants! I believe you can see their personality at this age. She's just like me, definitely not like her dad, who's extremely laid back!!

ellsbells - I'm so happy to hear that Paiges' xray came back all clear. Bet you're relieved at that. Hope she gets better soon, it must be hard seeing your little one so sick, and there's not a lot you can do for them. Bet she's getting lots of hugs from mummy though!

aboll - Great that your brother is there to help you today. Enjoy the rest! I have added you on my msn too,thanks.
And, happy one month old birthday to Riley!!!!
