Connie - I'm with you on the bad nights.. Issac is sleeping great during the day, but at night his feeding is all funny. He has smaller feeds, falls asleep and wakes up again pretty quickly sometimes before I can fall asleep. He doesn't cry though, I hear his little noises when he wakes up and starts to get agitated and sucking his hands and opening his mouth really wide and pushing his head forward as if my boob was there (very cute). I try everything else first in case its not a feed he wants, but usually its the only thing that settles him. Last night felt like I was constantly feeding, at each feed I tried to keep feeding him after he fell asleep but it didn't work. I know he's getting heaps of milk, I've got it coming out everywhere so its not a low supply problem, its Isaac falling asleep before he's had enough. He should sleep well today so I'll sleep when he does. Don't stress about George not having his own room yet either, it sounds like he doesn't like it but I'm pretty sure the SIDS people recommend babies sleep in the same room as parents for the first 6 months anyway

Deana - Issac had both hep b and vit k injections (vit k at birth, hep b after 3 days), and you need to sign a form for the hep b. I can't remember them asking about vit k though, maybe it was during surgery but I'm pretty sure its a routine thing.

Buzzie - fingers crossed for a rock!!

Last night was our first night at home alone, and it was not as daunting as I thought. For the first two nights at home mum stayed with us, then my sister arrived from WA the day mum went to Queensland, and only left yesterday so I've been lucky to have someone at home with me so far. Now its just me and my boy, so we'll see how we go

edit: Belfie and Buzzie, if you don't mind me asking, why did you refuse the hep b? Reason I'm asking is because I read so much about it while I was pregnant, and when they asked me if I wanted it I was so sleep deprived I couldn't remember what I'd read and what my opinion was, I was so confused I just agreed to it.
