Maz - Great to see you here! I had afterpains with Alexander, but they pretty much were gone by the 3rd day, I never took anything for them tho. Lucky you having a nice sleepy baby... Alex was great for the first two weeks, but seems to have 'woken up' and now I have a normal baby (ie, one that barely sleeps! lol) He is a real cuddle bum and he wont sleep unless he is snuggled up to either me or DH - really glad that I bought a sling now, at least I have my hands free (but it's kinda like still being preggers lugging this weight around).
I went to see the health nurse yesterday... my kid is a total piggy, he has gained 670grams since birth! Not bad at all considering I'm exclusively breastfeeding; he demand feeds at 2 hourly intervals! Thank god you cannot overfeed a breastfed bub.
