Skybie - yeah, Isobel sounds a bit strange to us too as Izzy has really stuck! I love both names so much though

Sanchez - Izzy doesn't scream, she's just unsettle during the day. Well she has been for the past couple of weeks now. She has little cries during a feed sometimes and often cries not long after being put down. I got her down for an hour sleep this morning and I had to rock the bassinet 6 times in an hour to resettle her as she was crying in her sleep. I really think it is silent reflux so I can't wait to see if the medication works.

Kelly - thanks hon. I do love knowing I can vent to you girls at any time of the day. I love the support in our group. Thankfully I have lots of support around me in Perth too. My mothers group is a godsend too - the girls are lovely and it so nice to know we are all going through the same things. As for your supply, I strongly suggest going on Motillium. It's worked wonders for me. I have Motillium (double the dose the gp prescribed) and Fenugreek (herbal remedy) three times a day and I let Izzy feed as much as she wants to. I also try to express once a day too just so I have a top up (or a full feed) ready in a bottle but it also gets my boobs thinking Izzy has had another feed and more milk is produced. I expressed 170ml total the other morning and my LC said that was great. I have expressed up to 200ml though.

Sangie - wind is a right nuisance, hey! Izzy has that issue too. She farts A LOT (and my god they smell!) and burps after her feeds but she often has wind pain. It drives me mad. I give her Infacol with each feed now and it does seem to help. Izzy is only pooping roughly every 4 days so I think that causes her a bit of pain too, especially as she has a formula feed each day. Poor little things!

Kosi - thanks for the sleep and settling info. We had a similar chat at our mothers group the other week. Some of it was really interesting. I'm loving my mothers group and wouldn't miss it for the world. The girls are lovely and we have a good gasbag every time. Izzy is always so settled there too, not sure why!

AFU - we've had a reall y good day although poor Izzy has suffered a bit with the heat over here. DH got her to sleep for me this morning so I could have a nap and I managed to get her down for an hour again this morning and an hour and a half this afternoon! I'm so pleased! I also took the bassinet off our pram and put Izzy in the normal part of the pram today and she slept! She looks so tiny in it and the straps are a bit overwhelming but hey, it seems to work for her so I think we'll be selling the bassinet. At least we got 8 weeks use out of it.

Time for bed. Missy is sound asleep so that means it's bedtime for me too. Night girls!
