Are you breastfeeding? I struggle with it at times. Took a while to work on attachment - there were only a couple of nurses willing to help in the hospital. In the end I googled it at home and found out how to attach and we have picked up.

Do you treat day feeds differently to night ones? Day time we feed unwrapped, lights up windows open and we play and talk but night time we keep it quiet, wrapped up for feeds and very little light. We found this helped dd1 sort day and night out.

Hopefully we get a few more august babies soon.
I'm exclusively expressing... no formula yet thank God, though my supply is dropping.

During the day we don't bother being quiet, she sleeps in her basinette in the lounge room, and when she wakes we totally unwrap her and be as active as we can. At night, she is in the dark in our room, we don't talk or unwrap her, minimal stimulation etc. It seems to be working .

Last night she woke for a feeds at 8 pm, 12 am and 4 am and I pumped at 10 pm, 2 am and 6 am. Her sleep is getting sorted but I desperately need to pump on her schedule!
