Hi all,

This will be a bit general b/c Im soo tired & it's all most lil miss wake up time.

Great going everyone on the weight loss I have found Im snacking so much, I cant be bother making anything & Im craving sweet things so undoing all the good stuff that breastfeed can help with! I've told hubby that Monday is D day, going to try & exercise and make huge effort to eat better..

M&M I use manual advent express. Takes about 10 min to express 60 - 80 mls... If Im not getting milk within a minute I sort of reposition the breast pad thing and also putting a warm face washer on your breast can help, expressing while feeding from the other breast or having a warm shower before expressing... I think it's one of those things you need to just keep up with. In the morning your breasts are usually fuller so it's often a good time to do then.

I put lil miss down at 7pm and let her self settle. Usually only takes a few minutes, her unsettled time is more through the afternoon, when she might sleep 30 - 40min & then wake up & cry. Having said that my other 2 little people were screamers/unsettled for at least the first 6mths and it didn't matter what we did, & I tried everything!!! My oldest is still bad at going to sleep & she is now 4yrs old... But having said that, my one bit of advice is if your going to try one way to settle, do it for a week or two & give it time to work before trying a different method... Can be soo hard, I can feel my anxiety just peak when my babies cry & cry... very stressful...

Welcome Bec, our babies share the same birth date

Shan bummer about your friends, that's a disappointing!

Well best run now, hope you all get some good quality sleep tonight.
