Jenushka - How cool that we're in the same thread again!! And our bubba's are one day apart. Good to see your little one is gaining weight.

Ang - Hope your bubba soon discoveres the difference between night and day! A globber guts is good!

Alloy - Great to hear that your bubbas are healthy and strong. They will be home with you in no time I am sure.

Monique - Congrats. Where in Brisbane are you? We have a few mums / preg ladies who meet up every now and again. We are on the northside. We would love you to join us.

Lolly - I had the same feeding probs as you. Expressing is a great idea. It saved me. It took about 2-3 days before I started feeding again and within a week they were brand new and you would never have known. Hope they come good soon.

Alioops - Good to hear your bubba is gaining weight. Well done.

Kylie - Well done. I am so jealous to hear your birth story!! If you just click on your ticker it will take you to the web site where you made it and then you just find the birth ones instead of pregnancy ones and put in the info and then copy the link that they give you and then go into your profile and click on signature and alter the one from your original. Hope that makes sense - a little sleep deprived on this end! As we all are I am sure!

Eliskirsty - welcome. I had the opposite problem to you. My bubba wouldn't fit into the 0000 that I bought, she was straight into 000!



AFM - Lily went 5 hours between feeds, then 4, then 4 last night. So lets hope that she keeps that up. If we can time her going to bed with me that would be great, but doesn't happen. So last night I was woken at 10, 2 and 6. Then DH took her so I had another one and a half hours kip this morning. She usually goes back to sleep within an hour of waking at night, so that's nice. I am going to bed at 7.30-8.00pm-ish, so I can't figure out why I am tired, cause from 7.30pm to 6.00am is 10 and a half hours, less the 2 and a half hours she was awake, gives me 8 hours sleep ??? Sure, I'm used to getting 9 or 10, but that should do me, surely?!? Perhaps it will just take some time to adjust.

As for day time sleeps, she hardly sleeps at all. And I have figured that our little princess doesn't go to sleep when being cuddled most of the time, so I have to put her down and let her cry herself to sleep for anywhere up to 8 minutes. I feel really bad doing that, but she won't sleep any other way. Or if she falls asleep while feeding or being cuddled, and then I put her in her basinett, she is awake within 20 mins (but usually 5 or 10 mins). So I just thought I'd add that in case anyone else was having the same problems - and my Lily still loves me even though I am a horrible person to let such a young baby cry herself to sleep (and she will also put herself back to sleep by doing it this way too). Something you're not supposed to do with them till they're about 4 months old. Oh well, they're all different I guess.

Take care all and don't forget to have a nana nap to keep yourself sane!!
