reet, sterla, kts - well done all of you for going with the cloth nappies! I have taken the easy way out and am adding to the landfill with my sposies, feel a bit guilty but I can live with it.
One thing to keep in mind with cloth, as a baby I had terrible nappy rash with cloth, and mum eventually discovered that I was allergic to fabric softener. I am guessing things are much more gentle these days, but vinegar is a natural alternative.

Sterla - so lovely of you to offer your leftover microfleece to our girls. It feels so warm and fuzzy in here Great to hear that DS is being a perfect big brother.

Leesa - sounds like Bree is thriving! Well done And she seems to be doing well with her blocks of sleep.

Reet - LOL no choice when you are in denial Vibrating cot mattress sounds divine, not sure of side effects on the body for long stretches (all night long), but for 10/15 mins would certainly do the trick! Sienna sounds like a perfect angel, and you guys smitten parents, sounds like you are going really well. Hope you managed to get your shower!

kts - glad to hear that the BF could get better the second time around. Thanks for the reassurance. Hope Bailey didn't scream too much with his needles.

KimB - Lactation cookies? OK I am going to have to look them up now, all these things I am learning for next time. I was using Fenugreek capsules but they didn't really do much. Just reading your sig, you have quite a brood there! Was Phoebe #6?

Sah - hope Ethan is OK with his needles on Tuesday. Yes, it did feel like a weight had been lifted when I stopped expressing, I felt a bit guilty too but I soon got over that.

Kellbell, ezymay, jaycee - hope you are all doing well, and getting the sleep you need.

Jacob has his 6 week checkup at 7w2d, he is now 5.34kg and 58cm, the Paed said he was "thriving" and called him a "boofa" LOL. He is pretty much out of his 000 suits now and into 00.
Sleep wise he's doing OK, blocks of 2-4 hrs depending on his mood.
Since switching to exclusively formula he's been having problems with constipation. The Paed recommended Coloxyl from the chemist, which we have been trying but doesn't always work, we've found a little bit (2-3ml) of prune juice in a feed works much better. I have read that you shouldnt use prune juice for under 3mths but he doesn't vomit and it works better.
Have had a couple of rough days where I feel a little bit of PND creeping in, so I try to get out in the sunshine for a walk as much as possible, as a bit of exercise and sunshine make me feel SO much better!
J has his 2mth needles booked for this coming Thurs, not looking forward to that!

Hope all you Eastern State girls are enjoying your long weekend! Hope it doesn't rain the whole time! We have sunny blue skies here in Perth but it's a bit chilly. Am tempted to move to Darwin or Cairns for the winter!!
