Monday 6th October
Well, I swapped rooms with my brothers so that I have the bigger room so we can put Evie's cot up. She's sleeping better in her cot. I think that's because she can see everything through the bars. In her moses basket, she can only see the wicker and the ceiling!
Anyway, she seems to be feeding MUCH better now! It's still sore, but I'm not giving her a bottle & I'm not expressing until I need to (ie going out or something).
At the moment, I guess we're at square one. Learning how to latch, getting breastfeeding established again with her "new" tongue etc!!
I think she had nipple confusion for a few days which she's just getting over atm and therefore feeding better.
Thanks for the advice ladies I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I love Evie sooooo much and I feel like we're really bonding a lot over the past couple of days since she's fed better. I don't resent her feeding anymore Bless her!
Thanks again girls xx

Hi girls,
We've had a terrible night... I think I know the reason though, she didn't feed much yesterday and slept LOADS.
Evie had her tongue clipped yesterday and had boob at about 1pm (straight afterwards). She then slept right through til 7pm when she boobie fed again, then slept til 12am for more boob! She woke up at 3am for another feed and has been a complete nightmare since! (She's just started to drift off...)
I tried everything in the night, cuddles, winding, nappy etc... I offered her more boob and she was on & off like a yo-yo ever since. Every hour she'd go on for about 10 minutes and would fuss. It's like nothing would settle her. Cuddles would settle her for a little while, but as soon as I put her back in her moses basket she'd whine again. She doesn't seem keen on her moses basket anymore. Maybe I'm holding her too much?
Now, I'm wondering if it's one of these;
- Nipples confusion because I expressed the last few days.
- Colic.
- Her disliking the moses basket.
She is usually grouchy from about 5am - midday, that's liker her "grumpy time" - So I'm wondering if it could be colic? What do you think?
I'm starting to wonder if I should just give her formula and give up BFing... I don't feel like I'm satisfying her & when I give her formula it has like a knock out effect with her! She just sleeps or settles really well for much longer than BFing... I just can't give up... But I feel like I'm doing wrong by her through pure stubborness
She's awake again
