Hi Alison - what a tall girl you have!! She'll be hitting the catwalk in no time with those looks and long legs! And we've all got a few kilos that decided to stick around so don't worry. I'm sure we'll need the reserves at some stage when they go through a crotchety phase and we're walking the floor for hours at a time. Hope those pesky roids clear up soon.

Hi Rose - I was having similar let down issues I think over the past week. When I called a midwife about it she suggested I pump a bit before putting Matilda on and that seemed to help and now it seems to have settled down anyway. I think eventually your supply and baby get back in sync. Its so hard with the sleeping isn't it. We haven't been at all good at getting Matilda to "self settle". We tend to cuddle her to sleep and do anything that works. But might start trying to get her to self settle more now that she's about to hit the six week milestone. Good luck!!
