Charlotte is now 5 weeks old. How time has flown since her birth. The first 3 weeks especially went super fast with the recovery from my caesarian surgery and adjusting to life with a toddler and new baby. Life is getting a certainly super busy now. I have no idea how other mothers with more than 2 children cope. I find every day a challenge, but I suppose I get a little better at organising things each day that goes pass.

Since Charlotte was born, she has suffered from infant reflux. After every feed, she often spills. We have tried splitting her feeds with lots of burping in between and keeping her upright as much as possible, but she still spills on most occasions. On a visit to the child health nurse, we were told to try using a peristaltic teat by Pigeon. We finally got it today, and have used it 3 times so far. I am not sure if it is just coincidence for now, but she seems to be more settled and has slept a little better following her feeds. I guess I'll have to update you at a later date. Anyway, it is 2am now, and I've just put Charlotte back to sleep following her night feed (half of this entry was typed with one hand whilst rocking her to sleep). So now, time to express and get back to sleep. Catch ya later!
