Hi Ladies,

meercat, big, big hugs sweetheart. That's how I feel when I think I'm getting somewhere and I feel more confident with Cameron and then he grizzles for 2 to 3 hours straight and I can't work out what he wants!! It's so frasturating I'm sorry Tiah wasn't co operating hun, but don't worry sweets, she'll be perfect next week! I love your DP's comment though, it cracked me up, just what I needed!! I'm supposed to take the moulds of Cam's feet and hands, register him and I also want to do the photos, but at the moment I am just soooooo tired to organize any of it!! Oh well, tomorrow is another day

b, soooo tired hun, I don't know how you do it with your DD as well! Cam fed at 11 pm last night, then at 2 am, then I upped his formula from 100 ml to 110 ml and he slept till 5.30 am, then I offered him boobies and he slept for 3 hours (mind you he fed for 1.5 hours). He has been feeding every 3 hours for the last 2 days (normally he feeds every 4hours).

missawah, I have to try the rocker too. I have the same problem, after he feeds he sometines grizzles for ages (which mostly happens after I BF and it's b/c he's not getting enough breast milk out of my boobies) but nevertheless I get upset as I just want him to sleep so I can have a sleep too. Hope the rocker keeps working for you hun!

Well, today I went for my maternal health nurse app. and she said that babies have a growth spurt at 2 weeks, so they feed more frequently for 3 to 4 days. So that's why he feeds more now.....she also told me he is a bit tongue tied, and suggested I get it snipped. That would explain why he can't latch on the nipple, he latches on the nipple shield as it's a lot bigger. But I don't think he gets enough milk through the nipple shield as he latches on strong for 5 or so minutes and then I can barely feel him sucking. Sooooooooo, I have decided to feed formula at this stage and only give him EBM in between.

Hi to ReeRee & inSom, hope you ladies are hanging in there!
