I am going to give the hand expressing a go. I may also look into hiring a pump from ABA. It would be great to let DH do a feed and me sleep. The hand pump just isn't working.

Deb, I am having a frustrating day as well. Charlotte just wouldn't have a nap. I put her in the bedroom in the dark and patted her for a while but she wouldn't sleep, then I let her fall asleep on me and then put her in her bassinette and she woke up again. I finally worked out that she sleeps better with the TV on so she is here in the pram in the lounge room with me. She has been asleep for 2 hours now. If only the mother would sleep during the day as well.

Oh Sarah, you poor thing. At least now you know what the problem is.

Colleen, that is great advice, I will be checking Charlotte's tongue all the time now!
