Thrilled - Glad to hear that you have had a good last few days. And my biggest advice from my first son is - do whatever you need to do to keep you, bubs and your family sane and happy. The fact that you are feeling good at 4 weeks is great! I think I was in a complete daze for at least 8 weeks with my son. In fact, I don't think I could say I felt good really until he was 4 months old!!!! So you are doing really well!!!

Poor Sophie is very upset as she has not done a poo since Tuesday (now Sunday). My son did not poo until 7-10days and I had to give him prune juice on day 7, 8 ad 9 for him to poo. He did this for 6 months!! Sophie was going multiple times a day early on, so I was hoping we would not have this issue! As it makes for a very unsettled baby as each day passes. But looks like we have a windy baby with bowel issues again!!! At least I know what to do this time - as last time I was in a panic when she didn't poo for a day and went to the doctor after a few days. Dr said up to ten days is fine! She recommended the prune juice dose of 5ml day 7, 10ml day 8 and 15ml day 9. Then come to Dr if no action on day 10 but there always was. So this time I at least have a strategy. However, Sophie is so unhappy that I going to give her 5ml of prune juice today.

We also have a projectile vomit issue with Sophie (which never happened with Will). She does it about twice a week. She did it last night and in the day on Thursday, which actually hit the wall 1m away and the amount is huge!! Think I will make Dr appointment this week and ask about it - I think she is just greedy as it seems to happen when she has had a few feeds quite close together eg 2 hours apart.

On a brighter note - generally she is extending out to 3-4 hourly feeds mostly. A couple still closer together each day, so gone from 10 or 11 feeds a day to more like 8-9. It would be great if she dropped feeds this early as my son was still have 10 feeds a day at 6 months!!!

She and toddler seem to be nearly over the flu!!! Just a little cough left...finally!!!
