Happy Mother's Day everyone!

Sounds like you all got spoiled, though it sucks that you had to do cooking and stuff, beany!

Alison - I'm with beany, too - bet that girl is nowhere near her pre-pregnancy weight!

AFM - Still having rough nights with Liam - last night he was up feeding every two hours again. And every time he was *hungry*, so it's not just a comfort thing. I'm now thinking maybe it's the six month growth spurt come early? I dunno, I have a different theory every day, really. I guess it doesn't really matter what it is - teething and growth spurt will pass and we're dealing with his reflux (and BS, I think you asked - I've been sleeping him on his tummy for a while now, I think it definitely helps. I was worried at first about tummy sleeping, but he can roll around so well that it's not an issue now. He just rolls over if he's not comfy anyway now).

Basically I'm just trying to weather this period and go back to sleeping during the day (which usually means sleeping with Liam on me, or getting someone else to watch him while he sleeps). We've increased his reflux meds (and may increase them again, depending on what my GP says, or go to see a paed if needed). I'm still limiting dairy, and have started block feeding again since he's been having issues with my oversupply again (and to deal with the possibility that it's a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance thing). We were pretty set on waiting until six months until solids, but if this keeps up, I may try him on some to see if it helps. I don't remember if anyone else is planning on doing baby-led weaning here? That's our plan, anyway.

I got desperate enough on Friday night (and exhausted enough - had a couple of very bad days with the PND last week where I would have happily given Liam away to anyone) to try giving him a bottle of formula, to see if it would hold him any better at night. And he was having none of it. He's still not overly keen on bottles of expressed milk, though he'll take one if he's hungry enough, so I guess I just get to deal with feeding him a lot.

And now I'm rambling. And yes, I got a Wii (and Wii Fit Plus) for Mother's Day. Just did the profile thingie and yeesh, not good! I really need to get my act in gear and start trying to drop some of this weight and get fitter. Hopefully the Wii fit will help I'm still kind of annoyed that I'm not one of those women who magically lose the baby weight, but eh, can't do much about it. I can do something about what I put into my mouth, though!
