Sanchez - have you considered that V may have reflux??? It's looking like that is Izzy's problem - silent reflux. I was worried my supply wasn't good again so phoned my LC to discuss things with her this morning and she assured me all was good but couldn't understand why Izzy is so unsettled. She asked me a few things about Izzy and I answered 'yes' to all of the questions so she is pretty sure Izzy has silent reflux. I will be so pleased if that is the reason for her being so unsettled. I know she's in pain a lot of the time so it would be great to have something to help her. I'll be discussing it with the gp as well on Thursday. Boy our doctors appt is going to be full on - so many things to sort out!

Art - PMSL about the condoms! That stash would last us a bloody long time too! We are yet to get 'back on the horse' and I'm in no hurry either. DH has been great about it thankfully. I'm just too tired and not really in the mood either. I've got the mini pill but am yet to start taking it. If the opportunity knocks, we have condoms ready to go. I can't imagine using them any time soon though. Gosh, how sad!

Sangie - did Ethan's good run of sleep continue?

Skybie - another Izzy! Welcome!! I'm sure you'll love our group My Izzy has slightly different poos as she has a bottle of formula each day. Izzy's were orange/mustard when she was exclusively breastfed but now they are more like a thick putty (foul!) and are sometimes mustard in colour but more often greenish/grey due to the formula. If your Izzy is breastfed only, she should really be doing mainly orange/mustard poos. It could be possible she is getting too much foremilk. If she has a quick feed on one side then offer that breast first again next. My health care nurse told me 10mins or less is too quick on one side for my Izzy. She normally does 20 minutes per breast. Check with your health care nurse.

Pooley - I did the lemon detox diet a few years ago. I didn't lose much weight at all but I did feel great! How did you go in the end?

Nicola - Indigo is doing really well! Izzy does a massive sleep at the beginning of the night - between and 8 hours - but she normally goes down at 6 or 7pm so I miss out on a bit of the precious sleep time. Wish I could get her to start that sleep later but there is no keeping her up and I've tried a dream feed around 10ish a couple of times and it just stuffed things up. She still woke at 2am each time

Hi Kelly, Kosi, BoB and PB! What's news with your rugrats?

Us - Izzy has had a really good day today. The past two nights were a bit unsettled after her big 'first' sleep (from 7pm - 2) so that was tiring. I didn't really get any more sleep after the 2am feed both nights. Managed to get little Miss down for a 3 hour nap yesterday though and DH got her down at 6am this morning so I got to catch up on some sleep. This morning was bliss as DH got up to her around 5.30 and I went back to sleep (finally!) then I woke at 7.30 to...wait for it...silence. It was so weird! I woke up on my own for a change and felt great! Izzy was sleeping, DH had snuck off to work and I was feeling refreshed for a change. I got to wash, dry AND straighten my hair. What a luxury!

Although it's been a good day, Izzy still hasn't slept much so it's any wonder she bombs out at 7pm. I read up on silent reflux after chatting with my LC this morning and Izzy has so many of the symptoms. It was all so obvious watching her today. I hope some meds will sort her out, the poor little thing. I've booked her into a chiro on Tuesday too and they are going to see if they can fix her reflux/colic - whatever it is she has!

Time for me to get ready for bed. I'm hoping Izzy will do a long stretch again so I can get a good sleep before the first feed. I'm recording my two fave shows (Packed to the Rafters and Private Practice) so I'm quite looking forward to the first feed so I can watch one of them.

Night girls!
