    Hope you had a lovely time......and had lots of kisses! :eek:
    Ooh we did... It was wonderful ;)
    Krystal and I had a lovely afternoon gossiping (for 3 1/2 hours :eek:) and it is concluded as a fact that she is almost a lovely as I am ;) :rotfl:
    You flatter me :D I'm not a patch as lovely as you!

    Incidentally, can you believe Caitlyn slept all the way to fetching Aimee and walking home... I leaked through both breastpads and had to wake her up to feed her when we got home at 3:45... at 4:45 she wanted fed again and went back to sleep for another 40mins!

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    It's probably been suggested before skinty, but is there a way you can encourage her to take more milk in the day so she's built up an energy store by night time? When Fergus was little we used to peel off layers and even a cold flannel on the forehead to get him to stay awake for a full feed :o;). But that was cos the book we'd read said to really concentrate on getting him to have meals not snacks!

    OH made me one. Better drink ti while it's hot! And then go cook dinner. Honestly this is so hard and no-one else seems to have it this bad - everyone I talk to has babies sleeping at night with just maybe 2 feeds, and no meltdowns, and regular naps, and I have this monster who I do love but bl00dy hell I cannot go through this again - one is going to have to be enough cos I am on the verge of a breakdown with Lilia.

    Skinty, have you mastered lying down feeding? Because (said in the nicest possible way) the best thing you can do is stop timing them... Lying down means you can sleep through the feeds, you're less likely to stress about it and she'll probably feed better because you're not stressing...

    ETA, you're not the only one... Aimee didn't sleep more than 90mins until she was well over a year old... She was still waking 2-3 times a night when she was over 2 years old... You get through it... And you do it again... And if you're really lucky... The second one sleeps!


    On a different note... I absolutely cannot stand Adrian Chiles!
