Finally got a chance to catch up with this thread! Great to see all the new mums in here, can't believe we're all having our babies now!
Stanley is 3 weeks old today. We are still managing to exclusively bf, think he's on a growth spurt as he seems to be feeding every 2 hours today which is wearing me out a bit. Luckily, he does seem to sleep well after a feed, goes down for about 90 minutes - 2 hours during the day, a bit longer at night, maybe 3 hours if I'm lucky!
Had to take him to GP on Thursday as he's very red and sore just around his bum-hole. It's apparently developed into thrush so I am using Canesten cream on it. Breaks my heart to keep changing him as it is obviously hurting him. Supposed to give him lots of nappy free time but he wees and poos so much it's hardly worth it, I am just constantly cleaning him up, and he HATES having his nappy off too. Really hoping it clears up soon. Anyone else having nappy rash issues or is it just me?
Marinewife101 - sorry to hear you're having problems putting Michael down at night. Does he not fall asleep when on the boob? I have stopped nursing in bed because I've fallen asleep a couple of times - now I go into another room now with the radio on just so I can stay awake longer than him! When he's got all sleepy on the boob he is much easier to put down without a struggle.
