Hi, I went from your milk feed times to 730, 2 and 7. She has breakfast at 839, lunch at 1130 and dinner at 430. So we just merged the mid morning and mid afternoon bottle.

Yes! Had to put the hands over her sleepsuits at night because of it. Sometimes she scratches things and it reminds me of nails on a blackboard, I even file them to see if it helps!

We had to go to the dr for nappy rash, but it was blisters, not just redness. Got prescribed caneston as sudocream and metanium didn't help, but it was pretty severe. I think for redness lots of bare bum time :)

Good luck, we did the exact same thing at 10 weeks and she started sleeping so much better!

Like you we only ever swaddled at night so she got o know that was bedtime, but she always slept ok during the day with just a blanket. We stopped swaddling at 10 weeks and moved to the sleeping bags and use them in the day and night.

Ellie was born ith very dark hair but she is fair now, the difference is amazing. So don't be surprised if it changes :)

I'm going to continue to sterilise and move to follow on milk when our carton of first run out. Only moving because it's cheaper and get my boots or sainsburys points. We use aptimal and only difference seems to be the iron content.

Elyssa just developed this, bless she looks all blotchy. I have oilatum cream so hoping it clears up. Everyone told me it was pretty normal for them to get spots, scaly skin etc

When we stopped swaddling and used the sleeping bag she loved it! Already bought the next size up gro bags in preparation x

I bought a hooded coat especially for that reason, or stick my wolly hat on and look silly!

Another summer swaddle me fan here. We swaddled at first then stopped as she wanted her hands free but when she kept waking herself up by startling we swaddle again and we all slept better.

Yes and I used to get so stressed about it, so silly really as I have days when I'm hungrier!

Bless. Doesn't time fly. 6 months for my Elyssa tomorrow x

I left lo with my mum for the odd hour from a week old and when she wa two monts I had an evening out and my OH had her which he loved.

Lovely, that will make my cry when it happens x
