Cass - it must be so hard without your DH home.... feeling for you

Jandals - nice to hear from you!

Ciaran is doing well and just had his 2nd check up with the midwife. He is 9 days old and has gained 350g on his birth weight - awesome eh! The midwife seems to think I make some sort of super milk as he has advanced through the poo changes with at least 1 day ahead of schedule min, and is now having lovely 3hr feeds at night.Its nice to know he is well fed and nourished

My nipples are still sore with some small cracks, but at least they are improving over the past few days.

Our only concern is some nappy rash which looks nasty (few welt like marks) which may be golden staph or something. So when i discovered them yesterday AM I thought he was reacting to the disposable nappies, and have since gone all cloth!

Must say im a bit proud that its not even 2 wks yet and we are sleeping well at night and doing 100% cloth nappies - certainly am doing my best to give this little man a great start.

Hope your all progressing well to
