Willow- DD1 was exactly how you describe!!... Now she's a feisty, spunky 5.5 year old!! I think how they are as babies says a lot about their personality!!... Doesn't help you now though, I know!.... I think if you can get her to sleep longer she may not ask for boob so regularly.... It's hard with a 3yr old that doesn't really get the "quiet" thing.... DD1 doesn't really get it either!! I hope things improve for you! xx

Eleni refuses a dummy also.. I have tried all the different shapes.. and sometimes she gags on it and bring up milk..and a lot of it!!

happymum- oh hope things improve for you too!!

Beatrix- Sorry to hear of your loss again! far out!
Would it help if you express some of the fore-milk before a feed? AND there is nothing wrong with giving her formula every now and then for your sanity!!!.. I used to with DD1! I also have 2 x UHT NAN in the cupboard if things go pair shaped here and my boobs can't take it anymore!


OK..... at the moment all good here....I don't want to seem like i'm gloating or rubbing it in so I'm not posting so often BUT I am reading all your posts!

Eleni is feeding 3-4hr during the day... she will feed a lot in the evening and some nights pretty much drain me!! I'm lucky she sleeps well, and is content and happy when awake!, although she does get hungry sooner if she hasn't had a nap!... The only time she grizzles is when she's hungry to gassy!... She's still bringing up a lot of milk with her burps and will need at least 3-4 burps each feed, so she's sucking in a lot of air somehow!!.... Yesterday she brought up milk that reminded me of the Exorcist!!! She's not distressed though, which is a good thing!

The other night she slept right through from about 10:30pm-8am!! She grizzled at 1:30am but when i touched her cheek she stopped and went back to sleep, then at 4am, I thought she would be hungry, but no...she had done a poo.. so I changed her and offered her a feed as I was about to burst!!..she sucked a little which relieved the pressure so I was happy....all the while still asleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At 8am I woke her to give her a good feed because I felt like I was about to explode!!

Last night though she was back to normal.... 10am-2am-5:30am....topped her up at 7:30am so I could take her on school run and she's still asleep!

The last two nights she has been all snorty and finding it hard to breath through her nose... have gone through half a bottle of Fess! But it doesn't come out it's dry and not where I can see it!!....so she gets a bit cranky!!

I have my 6 week OB check tomorrow and I also need to organise needles this week for Eleni!.....
