Another boring post as I don't get out much anymore...!!

A has spent the last three days napping for no more than 40 mins at a time and crying a lot. We strongly suspect she is going through the three-month growth spurt. I can only say that days seem very long when they start at 5.30am and each short nap is prefaced by a 15 min screaming fit

How goes the feeding?

It's going okay. A is still hopeless at breastfeeding - she gets tired easily, so she can't seem to satisfy herself at the breast. We breastfeed for as long as is practical, then comp with a bottle. Unfortunately as she's not stimulating my supply enough, we have to comp with formula, but at least she's getting some goodness from me, and the calories from Mr Heinz!

You have no idea how glad I am to read this. I'm not happy you're having trouble, but it's nice to know there are others out there. After reading the june community, it makes me feel bad that so many of the parents get a full night's sleep and lovely days with lots of hour or two long naps in them. I do hope it goes better soon for you though.

Early last week I thought I was on a great thing with two to three long naps, then it all feel apart... :-) If it's a growth spurt, then things should start to improve after a maximum of a week, according to the health nurse.

At the moment, I am just relishing the sleep time that is happening at the moment.

I hope monkey improves as it sounds really tough for you at the moment. As I said in my post, at least A is still sleeping well at night with only one or two wake ups, so I am getting some sleep.
