Arte, I hear you on not wanting to buy clothes to fit properly. I have a few things, but nothing *good* if we have to go out anywhere. I am going to buy at least one outfit though just to get me by.

Leanne, It wasn't too bad when I had Erin as Lindsay was a very easy going kid and didn't give me much trouble at all. Plus he had himself in a really great routine that fitted nicely with Erin. When I had Paige on the other hand LOL, Erin was at that stage where she seemed like two kids sometimes She was into everything and I had some pretty trying times, but thankfully Paige was a brilliant baby and slept alot of during the day so it worked out OK. The best thing about it was I could get them to have sleeps at the same time and I didn't lose out on much sleep myself.

Queenie, sorry hun, that would have been a bit deflating - I shouldn't have said anything. But at least things are on the downhill run so to speak

Marydean, we have an appoinment on Thursday to discuss permanent solutions too. It's also my post natal check up.

Comparing all my kids and their feeding patterns, Alister and Paige have been the best in terms of night feeds because they both only do the one feed, but Erin was a classic every 2hr feeder and Lindsay was between 3-4hrs. So far the older three were all doing 12hrs overnight by 6-7wks, and I am really hoping that Alister follows suit, but if he keeps the same feeding pattern for a while that wont be so bad either. He has picked up an extra day feed now that he is awake during the day for longer, so he has 6 feeds now - with one short sleep and one long sleep.
