Hi everyone, sorry I have been a bit slack about posting....

Alz, hope Ella is feeling better? It's no fun when they are so little & unwell

Jess I love the image of your snoozing bub, very cute indeed! yay for the weight gain.

Lilprecious - Arlea had her last naked weigh last Monday at 4 1/2 weeks & was 5200g. But she was a big baby to start with. Her gains are right about on the 20g/day. Your Jeremy sounds like he is doing really well!

Leesa, Sagres, Linda - how are you doing?

AFM - The private LC was good, had a few different suggestions - but still no major progress towards BFing. I stopped trying for a few days as it was becoming too stressful for us both. At least I have plenty of milk - I am pumpng about 3 times as much as she needs - & I am looking at reducing the number of times I express in a day hopefully. We will keep trying for a couple of weeks longer & just might end up expressing fulltime.

She is sleeping well at night, usually 6 hours, only catch is after 3am she is up & down hourly, and during the day she doesn't sleep well at all. So I don't get much of a chance to catch up. I am hoping DH will be home from work early today & I can go off to bed for a couple of hours!

Oh & she started smiling last week. The kids were absolutely over the moon! So cute.
She is MUCh more alert now, when on the floor she turns her head to look around constantly & you can see her recognising people's faces & voices.

Hope everyone is doing well
