OMG OMG WHEN OH WHEN WILL IT END :banghead::banghead::D

I met Robin Barker (author of baby love) the other day she told me up to 3 months of age

pwese tell she lied :D

Robin - Lie! only about teething - Pardon my ignorance but what is cluster feeding?

Is Robin still working in Paddington early Childhood clinic?

how cute is your baby....

do you mean the late afternoon - late evening cluster feeding when bubs are really unsettled,,,,,,,,,

DM - first of all - YOU MET ROBIN BARKER??????? She is my guide to everything (except teething:D )

Don't worry - it can settle down a lot earlier than that and even if you do make it to the 3 month mark it will be nothing like it is now.

What I did with DD2 was made a personal rule not to start a feed less than 1 hour apart so if I started a feed a 4pm then I couldn't start the next one until 5pm (or a few minutes too) and in between DH would take her for a walk around the block in his arms - gave her a break from smelling me and me a break from her so I could do things with DD1 and prepare meals etc. It really did pass and reduce after only a few weeks.

MARIA yes she is still working there she came to our mums group, cluster feeding is where the baby seems ravenous and eats and eats like you have starved them for a week when in fact it could be 10 minutes or an hour in between feeds.

Mysonroger Yes they are the ones where baby stocks up for the night lol and thank you for the compliment on my baby!

Draught Yes I did meet her nice woman..we didn't talk about teeth, just as well as Eliza is cutting two already :eek: I might try what you suggest as otherwise she is not getting nice milk too much hind milk lol and by the time I am 30 my boobs will be down to my cankles :D

Sorry Nat, can't help you - luckily I never had this with DD. Just wanted to give you :hugs: , and tell you to hang in there (and also that I am very jealous of you meeting Robin Barker. She wrote my baby bible - but I agree with the others - she doesn't know what she's talking about when it comes to teething!)

[Frazzled]

Ha ha about the teething! I have just been thinking the same thing! But - You Met Robin Barker! You lucky girl! She is brilliant! As for the cluster feeding, that sounds about right - grin and bare it dm!

Your little Eliza is simply beautiful xxx
