Why the Frick are people so damn negative all the time!

its jealousy!! H sleeps through is a very happy smiley content baby who will go to anyone i pass him too. Everyone says they cant believe he's like that and not to have another as i wont be so lucky!

I know people do have a hard time with their lo's but it's not as though i've had an easy time of it myself. I got told by oh's mums friend (whos daughter had her baby 6 wks before i had h) that i was 'so lucky' my labour was fast. Well hello what part of a healing broken ankle currently being held together with a meccano set in a cast hopping around on crutches and 2 1/2 hours in theatre stiching up a 3rd degree tear did she find 'lucky'! If i could have got to her to strangle her i think i would have done!!

thats great, and I keep my fingers crossed mine sleeps straight through too. One question, you say she sleeps 10 hours straight without feeding. My midwife told my babies have to be fed at least once every 5 hours for the first few months, and that means waking them up to feed them even if they are happily sleeping. Can I ask then do you not need to do this? do you feed before she sleeps or is it just different advice depending on different midwives. Thanks xx
