Being jealous of the sex of other children is weird isn't it Kayz? Even though I had Dd1 (and obv adore her) and I loved (still do ) having 2 boys, I would see families of 2 girls or all girls and want another.
LB Ds is 6 weeks or thereabouts, yes? He's very likely to revert back to frequent feeding around then as babies are supposed to go through a growth spurt at 3, 6 and 12 weeks I think it is. Should even out by the end of the week I would think.
GYo I hope last night and today balance themselves out for you. I don't worry about regain of weight at all. As long as the baby isn't really skinny, looks healthy, feeds frequently and poo's/wee's lots then s/he is fine in my book. I think it would be different if baby was prem/sick though. I have no idea how much Dd2 weighs and I'm not bothered in the slightest, she's very healthy!
HV and m/w's can seem a little controlling with first babies. There does seem to be this idea that if it's your first child then you don't have a clue, which may sometimes feel like it, but really do you need a clue?
What I mean is, you know yourself and over the first 3/4 weeks you get to know your baby. No one else will know her like you do. You both find your way together
Trust your instincts, you're a fab mother!
Gruff I do hope you're holding your wee one now
Gotta go 'tuptup' is filling her nappy (what ds2 calls her and it's stuck as a nickname)
