Hiya everyone, finally got an opportunity to reply to everyone, yay!

Sahbear – lucky you getting 6-7 hours overnight, I can only dream I get that again one day! Great to hear you’ve got yourself a bit of a routine going, I am hoping we sort ourselves in to one some time soon as well.

Shelly – kody seems to have a bit of a whinge between 8 and 10 also, must be something in the air that time of the night too, I think he may have a bit of a wind build up though, could that be the problem with Jacob as well? Sorry to hear that Jacob is refusing again, I can’t remember if you said you’d already seen a lactation consultant? Kody hasn’t lost any of his hair yet but I remember Jake did at this age.

Sterla – way to go on the weight gain, you’re doing a fantastic job!

Leesa – I can’t believe how big your bubba girl is already! Those pics of Bree are just gorgeous, was the photographer expensive? I would love to see you too, and Miss M and Mr B are more than welcome to visit as well

Hi to everyone else, hope all is well.

We’re having a few sleep issues here at the moment, Kody has decided he won’t sleep anywhere but on mine or DH’s chest. It started when I was in hospital after the c/s, I’d have him sleep on my chest as I was physically unable to get out of bed the first day or so to get to him, and the nurses would take a little while to respond when I rang for them to come and give him to me, so I slept him on me. Unfortunately I’ve created a bit of a problem for myself. He is also a very light and fidgety sleeper, and wakes every 20 mins or so and it’s a 50/50 chance of whether he’ll put himself back to sleep or need assistance. I’m slowly getting him to sleep in his cot during the day, and will start trying at night time as well, but it’sreally taking it’s toll and I’m probably only averaging 3 hours sleep per night and even then it’s not a deep sleep as I have Kody with me the whole time. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get him to sleep on his own they’d be greatly appreciated!

Other than that I’m very lucky to say that feeding is going fantastically apart from the fact he’s a very hungry boy and feeds every 2 or so hours. Haven’t weighed him since last week, so 3 weeks old, and he’d put on 720g which my midwife said was a fantastic gain so I must be doing something right!

Anyway, take care everyone xxx
