Willow, that is terrible - to die so young - his poor parents must be heartbroken - Eva refused the dummy a few times and the bottle as well but we kept trying and she finally took it and takes them with no prob now...Maybe keep trying and not when he is stressed - I noticed that she took her first bottle when she was not stressed for a feed, and same witht he dummy...so try when he is relaxed and just whining for the boob.

Lani, you lucky girl with his sleeping! You are so lucky! Eva gives me 5 hours in the evening and I am jumping for joy - 7.5 is a full night!!!

Carmey, my house looks like a daycare hit by a tornado, but I have a cleaning lady come in once a week (I need it!) to change sheets and do the bathrooms and vacuuming - one of the luxuries I give myself during this period! Yuo should consider having a cleaning service in once a week - it is such a huge help! (I agree with Tilda - TOTALLY worth the money!) Eva is pimply too, whitehead and rashy looking things- totally normal - it is your hormones in his system and it will clear up on it's own. Just keep his face clean and don't use any acne products on him ever

I usually pump between 2.5-4 oz and Eva does not finish every time - on the breast they take what they need so they stop when they are full...don't worry - she sometimes drinks and asks for another bottle so i top her up an ounce or sometimes she does not finsh and I cry for the wasted milk but it is normal - I find that Eva eats big meals in the morning and smaller meals at night ....might just be his light supper time that he took the bottle

Tilda, another thing you can try which I do now is I put a small pillow or stuffed animal up against her belly or side while she sleeps (sort of tricks her into thinking there is someone there) so maybe try that? It can't hurt to try...

Alsion, great growth for your princess! She sounds like she'll be a tall one like your DH!!

Getting stuff done today and have an appt for her passport next week! I am feeling productive so let's see if I can continue this with getting a shower in!

kisses to everyone!
