Hi Alison I can understand the ripped off feeling, I had that too when DD1 was another c-section. I think with the right support behind you - you can achieve anything you desire I hope you are recovering well from your section - the first one is the hardest I must say, for some reason my recovery was good with section #2 - until I got an infection

As for routines - um my kids have all sorta set their own, I just make a note of what they do every day, and if it seems to be going along the same lines for a while, then that's their routine!

DD2 has a sorta routine now - she is a much better feeder now, and feeds every 2-3 hours, except in the early evening, when it just feels like I'm permanently attached to her and I feel absolutely empty by the end of the day - but last night wasn't too bad, fed her at 11pm and she wouldn't settle, so DH took her into the loungeroom and she slept on his chest until 1.30, then he put her in the bassinette and she slept until 5am! So went 6 hours between feeds.

She's a little upset at the moment, must be hanging for another feed. Mum is trying to settle her in the swing, but I don't think its got any milk in it LOL
