cheers molly and thanks for all your advice both nappy & non nappy related - it's been invaluable. on the cluster feeding di stick to the same breast for the 6 to 9ish feeds and the switch at 9pm ish or what's the best way to go about it? cheers

sounds like i just need to chill in the evenings and he'll chill me. :-)

Cheers, generally I'm in a quiet room upstairs trying to remain calm but he can probably feel my inner turmoil & tension...! Yep we're breast feeding on the one side, I'm going to try staying downstairs this evening and just chilling in front of the telly but was always concerned about the over stimulation thing?? Thankfully my husband does all the cooking at the mo and no other kids to deal with.

Hi, my 7 week old baby seems to constantly feed & fuss between approximately 6pm to a final feed at 9pm and then he sleeps well until about 1/2am - which is great but the early to mid evening is horrible - he feeds and falls asleep but won't settle and usually wakes within 10 minutes - is this cluster feeding, is this colic or is this just being a baby...! :-) Any help/suggestions much appreciated. Thanks

I'm a 40 year old first time mum who had a home water birth with the Brierley, beautiful baby boy born on 1st January. I can't recommend them highly enough, both my husband and I were extremely happy with all the midwives there as they had an amazing balance of caring and professionalism. Cathy
