Hi everyone! DH has taken DD for an hour so I can get some time on my own, and thought I'd pop in to say hello and see what's been happening. Can you believe we have two-month-old babies now? We had DD's vaccinations earlier this week and I was thinking back to when the midwives in the hospital were telling me that the first lot were at two months... I was thinking 'that is so long away' yet here we are now!

Juniper - glad to see it was just lochia and not AF! My MCHN said that the bleeding can be a bit on-and-off in the last few days and not to freak out if I suddenly started bleeding again - but if it went on for longer than a day, or if there were any clots, to go back to my GP. I hope all ended up okay for you there. How are you going with Amber's feeds? It is a truly awful feeling to have to supplement, especially if you're already doing everything you can to get your baby back on track. And to come away from an appointment with a specialist feeling like you've failed is horrid - I really feel for you. I do hope that things have improved, if it's due to supply issues I had massive (in every sense of the word) success with lactation cookies, the recipe is online and probably in the breastfeeding thread if you need it.

Lilias - I'm so glad to see things going well for you! Don't you just love the smiles and the noises that come out of them? I hope you're managing to get a little more sleep, it looks like a bit of sleep when you add up all the hours across a 24-hour period but when it's broken up like yours is, it's really hard to feel rested.

AFM - things have been pretty hard, but we're hopefully going to get some answers soon. DD is such an unsettled little thing - she sleeps well at night, from 10pm - 3am, up for a feed, then sleep 4am - 8am, but she does not sleep during the day. At all. Ever. If she happens to fall asleep after a feed, I will try and put her down and as soon as she realises she's not in my arms anymore, she's awake again and howling. I have a Moby wrap and an Ergo that I put her in during the day which she will sometimes sleep in, but generally she will be awake and cranky from 8am til 10pm. She has been on Losec for reflux for three-and-a-half weeks now which was working really well for a while, but doesn't seem to be having the same effect any more (we had a horrid screamy day on Sunday which ended up with us taking her to Emergency, just to make sure there was nothing other than reflux/colic going on - nope, she's perfectly healthy). On the upside, I found out about a clinic at the Royal Children's Hospital called the 'Unsettled Babies Clinic' (what a great name for it!) and my GP has referred us to that clinic. I'm just waiting on a call back from them to make an appointment. It looks really good - paediatricians, gastro-enterologists, allergists and psychologists on hand, ready to help us find out why DD is so unsettled and difficult.

On a more positive note, we had her weighed and measured yesterday and she's put on a kilo in 3 weeks! Plus 2cm in both length and head circumference. She's now 6.67kg which explains why I've hurt my shoulder and why Mum has hurt her arm hefting this baby around. She's totally off the charts but is healthy and developing beautifully - when she's in a good mood, she's all smiles and laughs, which is just gorgeous.

I've got my first Mother's Group meeting next week and I can't wait! Are any of you involved with a Mother's Group at all? S'Rose was, I recall...
