Where are the photos Kate W

How did you find the show Kabe?
I was quite overwhelmed by all the stands. But I entered a bunch of competitions and got a lot of freebies and samples . It was a tiring afternoon though.

Our night feeds are looking something like this at the moment - between 10-11, then again sometime between 2-3, then he wakes between 6-7 and normally goes back down pretty easily (this morning we went back to bed after he went down at 9am and we all slept until 11.30!!)

He is taking a long time to settle down and go to sleep after a feed, so thats a bit of a challenge...but getting the hang of it!

Gosh, that sounds good Simsam! Wouldn't it be nice if Oliver let you sleep in to 11.30 every morning!

Our feeds are looking like this, between 10-11.30pm, 2-3am, 5-7.30am but then Rex won't go back down to sleep. He is generally up until 9.30-11 before he has another sleep (unless I give him a bath with me, and then he goes back down to bed after another feed). I'm thinking I might have to give him a bath every morning - but by that stage, I'm wide awake and very unlikely to go back to bed myself.

I'm wondering when the 2-3am feed is no longer required? I find this the hardest feed.

Oh - we have only just graduated to 4 hourly feeds and she's bottle fed breast milk which also makes a difference as we can see how much she's getting

Eva's night feeds are similiar to Rex's:
between 10-11.30pm, 2-3am, 5-7.30am

I've found that Eva is difficult to settle after the 2-3am feed and last night didn't settle until 4.30am. Had a very tired, cross mummy! I find it difficult to know what to do when she's unsettled after a feed, as she still looks hungry, but can't be. MW said a hungry baby and an overfull baby look the same, which I thought was interesting.

Went to the parent and child show yesterday. Had my mum take bubs for a walk around the park, while I went in. Found it quite interesting, but abit overwhelming with all the people and prams. Didn't end up buying anything but got lots of free samples.

Sorry should have read the other posts before saying about my b/feeding issues!!

So glad to hear I am normal!

Wow I finally make it to this thread. And it's sooooo nice to hear that so many of you are in the same boat as me.

I've had a bit of a horrible 24 hours - Blair had problems settling after his 2:30am feed this morning and in the end DH (who was still up playing on the puter) took him for a drive and sent me back to bed - at 5:30. Needless to say the little man was asleep by the time they got to the end of the driveway. Thank goodness he slept for nearly 4 1/2 hours afterwards. This combined with an unsettled period yesterday and another later ths morning bought the tears on (mine)as I just couldn't settle him and was feeling pretty inadequate. I know that this tough time will pass, and I just need to hang in there, but at the time it wasn't great. Thank goodness DH still has a couple of more days at home. I know I can do this. I survived 4 nights in hospital along with the days - and DH wasn't there 24/7 - and we only called upon the nurses a couple of times at night.
