Today I went to baby massage for the first time. it's a free course run at my local sure start centre. I made sure Gwen had a sleep beforehand and gave her a good feed before we set out, but no of course she had to be the one baby who started to grizzle during the session so the massaging had to stop and I had to give her a cuddle, turned out she was tired and then fell asleep (after the massaging had finished! Ww had a cup of tea, and then the other babies started to moan, so most were all given a bottle. I was the only breastfeeder there, they had all had problems of different sorts, tongue tie, not producing enough milk etc.. It does baffle me that breastfeeding seems so challenging (I know i've been very lucky) and yet it's meant to be your body/baby doing what comes naturally. Surely it should be easier for Mums if it's natures intention?
Gwen had her first jabs on Monday, she cried for a bit, but then seemed fine. No problems in the evening, however she did sleep extra long that night! Talking of her nights, Gwen woke up hungry at 3am this morning which has been the earliest for a while. She had seemed tired at 8pm yesterday, so I got her into bed by 8.45pm. We'll see what the next few days bring.
