Hi Emma, wow 40 hours! you must of been exhausted, glad Alyssa came out safely in the end for you.

Hi Porkbackribs, our dd is also getting a little harder to settle. She settled very quickly in the first couple of weeks but this week shes taking alot longer. She looks lovely and settled until we put her in her bassinet!

dd seems to get in a cycle when shes a bit unsettled... feeds, then poos, needs nappy change, gets a little grizzly, more boob, another poo, another change, more boob, another poo, another change! more boob to help settle her, then as shes falling asleep she does another poo which wakes her. A midwife at the hospital said if she starts to settle its ok not to change her nappy straight away, but dd HATES a dirty nappy (and I don't blame her), she likes it changed straight away and grizzles if we don't. Infact one of her favourite places seems to be the change table oddly enough!!!. shes very relaxed on there.

must go, dd is calling!
