LCT, babe we did the exact same thing with the formula... The middle of the night feeds were mentally the toughest for me, so it was usually then I'd get DH to give him some formula. It honestly saved my bf'ing journey... Keep doing what you need to do honey!! And yes, it does pass darling! You look fabulous in your latest FB photo too x

Nic, that sucks about your lunch! I hate it when that happens!! Fingers crossed your dinner was a success!!

Oh and yes to the smiles!! My brother got the first non-windy grin over the wkd. I got one on Monday and just scored another one just then by making vomiting noises... What else do you do to entertain a one month old at 4am??

Miss E, glad to hear Cooper has had a good few days! I hope things. Have settled with Ash too.

Buffster, I am so very pleased that your GP was proactive and didn't fob you off!! Do the meds affect bf'ing? Lots of love to you and Miss W... I wish I lived close enough for a coffee date

Skybie, definitely sounds like Miss A is gearing up for a growth spurt! I hope you can get off the couch soon. No poo for 4 days? Connor has done 2 in the last hour

Thanks everyone for your well wishes... I feel like a new woman this morning! Connor fed on & off for 3 hours last night and then slept for 3.5 hours straight!!! Up for an hour and asleep for another 2 hours! Happy days... Mummy feels alive!

I spoke with the private m/w yesterday who confirmed growth spurt and that it was all completely normal... It doesn't make it any less exhausting, but is reassuring to know he's doing what he needs to do.

Babe has fallen asleep on my chest so I'm going to enjoy these cuddles... Thank you for putting that into perspective for me too. I was so worried about the fact he wouldn't transfer into the bassinet, I wasn't enjoying having my wee man in my arms
