Clarrissa, this is very normal
Your lo could be having a growth spurt or just be a snacker. The more you feed now the more milk you will produce so slowly the time between feeds will get longer..... but it can take time. It is now generally recommended to feed on demand for as long as you can.
I didn't have a Gina Ford baby either!
Hope everyone is well

I swear I just read the last two pages less than 30 seconds ago but I seriously can't think of a single thing that's been said. I'm really not with it today
Hope everyone's ok, I'm having a bit of an off couple of days so not been posting all that much, but I'm still lurking. Will be back to normal soon.Newborn thread member

Hi all
Sorry I haven't been about much, had a busy few days.
Whoever posted about playing with little ones, I used to feel the same-sometimes Aiden would be lying on the floor on a blanket happy as anything and I would think ohh he needs to be playing or be looking at something, so I would disturb him and 9 times out of 10 he just wanted to stare at the light or the curtains blowing!
Been shopping today with my mum, she treated Aiden to some new jumpers and zip ups from Mothercare
Katie, hope you are ok hun? Come back when you are feeling better
Hope everyone else is well. Got some chocolate earlier which I am going to scoff now!
Gilly, I googled the 30 day shred....you are brave!!! XLittle Man born 11 March 2012 :smileyhea

Evening all
Hope everyone's well (hugs to you Katie) and that Gilly is still alive!
Not much to report here, been a quiet couple of days. Done some clothes shopping for LO (we're in 3-6, so started buying 6-9 for autumn/winter... she's a big girl), going to the hairdresser tomorrow and starting post c-section pilates on Tuesday. It's meant to help you lose your 'jelly belly' - here's hoping that's true!
My one plan for today was to mow the lawn, but it's been raining all day, so fingers crossed for tomorrow
Have a good night all - hope all the LOs sleep x0 -
I'm still alive, barely though. I am feeling the burn :eek: if you watch it on youtube. "30 day shred level 1" I swear it doesn't look that difficult, at all. Sadly looks are deceiving. I tried to walk up the stairs in M&S today and I could have cried.
If you google before and after shots though it's amazing.
It's 27 minutes long but some of that is spent warming up and cooling down. So I'd say its 20 intense minutes, so I just keep that thought in my head, only 20 minutes. OH's exercise bike from his parent is being dropped off this week too. Jumperoo gets put away and we have something else in it's place already, joy!The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.0 -
Evening all
Katiechoc - hope your ok. Remember we are all here if you do want to chat. Xx
Sunshine - sound like you had a nice day.
Nutella - I'm sticking up on 6-9 months clothes too, they grow so quick though I think he will be in them soon so I might start stocking up on 9-12 months too!
Right I'm off to google this 30 day shred.......................:)DS1 10yrsDS2 7yrs :)DS3 born March 2012
