Meercat, I'm finding the same thing with my DP, with his first child she was bottle fed so he helped with feeding her (when his ex felt like actually including him) but because I'm breast feeding and haven't started expressing yet he feels he's not doing much, even after I explained to him that just settling him is a massive help. Having said that Harrison had a horror night last night and the only way we got him to sleep was for DP to take him downstairs and camp on the couch with him.

Beata, my visitors never brought me anything either, but I also put a ban on visitors for the time being. Only a few people have been over aside from family, but I'm kinda happy about that as its given us time to get to know each other and settle in a bit.

B, yay for a better night and hope your DP gets better.

Krisvee, fingers crossed when your DH goes back to work that things stay smooth for you.

AFM I bought some infants friend today...what a difference already! maybe just a coincidence so I'm not totally convinced yet but gave Harrison 5 drops before his feed around lunch time and he's been a total angel ever since, slept for 4 hours then woke, fed and had contented cuddles for an hour or so then back off to sleep for another 4 hours...he woke again about 9:30, fed and is now just chillin out in his bassinette. this stuff works, the infacol didn't really do much for him.

On and he's 2 weeks old today!! the time is flying!
