Hi,

Just got back from Maternal child health appointment.

Louis has put on 380g this week and has grown 3.5cm in length and his head has grown 3cm! Woo hoo.

No wonder he's feeding so much - hehe. It's good to know that he's growing well though.

Linda - I can totally relate. I could not settle Louis this morning at all. He had about 30min sleep from 8.30am - 1.30pm. Not good. He's asleep now though thank god! Also last night he had a really long feed and then I realised he was using me as a dummy! So just before I broke him off and he seemed to settle o.k. All this stuff to learn. The nurse today gave me a video to watch about settling and sleep which was really helpful. Hopefully I can try a few things although he's a bit little for some of it. They really encourage you to put bubba to sleep awake and to not feed them to sleep. I've been doing both of those things - whoops. It's hard at this age though because they do get so sleepy.
