Nappies - we just bought snugglies infant ?(4-8kg) they are large but good for overnight as i use cloth during the day.
Clothes - we have some OOOO that fit but Zen is so long that if they have feet he cant stretch out & gets cranky.OOO are really big unless he is in cloth nappies.
Sleep - sleepy, yippee on the longer block - it works wonders on ur doesnt it? I'm jealous of you mummies get 8hr blocks but the midwife said with me breastfeeding i dont want him going an 8hr block as i'm still establishing my milk supply.i can see why some women choose to bottle feed - it seems like it would be easier!
Marni - hope your day got better! it sounded like quite a day, i would have been in tears!
Phoenix - did you get the kitchen & washing done?
JLeigh - Zens needles are mon week - I know who will be doing the crying...wish i could get DH to come along. sounds like you have been getting somew great blocks of sleep
Traylee - Big W are great as they have a brand of bulk nappies on special every week.
AFM: did the dreamfeed. Zen went down about 7pm, i fed & changed him at 9.30pm and he slept till 3.10am then till 6.15am. I'm happy with that so will persevere.
dreamfeed - already answered but is when you eed bub during a nap time...i only learnt what it was yesterday from midwife.
Milestones - Zen is chatting alot, especially at night when i put him down & he is still awake..talks himself to sleep lol.at his 5wk4day weigh he was 4.3kg, 1.1kg more than birth,
Tina - got the kitchen done and had a half hour nap lol. How are you going with cloth nappies? I'm surprised how easily I've adjusted to them - once we worked out that covers with double leg gussets keep everything in are great (have a few covers now pushed to the side for emergencies only), just an extra load of washing every 2nd day and I must admit I quite like hanging them out on the line, tragic I know I've got a bamboo & a hemp nappy to try overnight with a wool soaker cover but haven't been game to try them yet just in case.
Jleigh - amazing what an extra couple of weeks can make breastfeeding, a couple of weeks ago I went and bought nipple shields as she was killing me on the right side every feed but it seems like one day they just stopped hurting & feeding was comfortable. I still leak like crazy, not quite the flowing out I used to get after showering but definately can't go without breastpads. In the mornings after her long sleep they are so hard & sore I can't wait for her to wake up and feed.
