So a tip that has really helped us. Rachels dummy used to fall out often at night which would wake her up and make her cry so now we thread a recieving blanket through the little hole and lay it next to her. This keeps the dummy up right and next to her face so if it falls out it does not fall down completely and she finds it again on her own quite easily. I promise u it works!!!!!]]> Advice for new moms Mon, 09 Aug 2010 13:01:05 GMT http://www.ourpreciousmoments.org/advice-for-new-moms-f5/tip-for-keeping-dummy-in-mouth-t20505.htm#242536 http://www.ourpreciousmoments.org/advice-for-new-moms-f5/tip-for-keeping-dummy-in-mouth-t20505.htm http://www.ourpreciousmoments.org/advice-for-new-moms-f5/diaper-champ-or-angelcare-diaper-bin-t20120.htm PinkPanther Morning Ladies, I know this question was asked not so long ago but which one is the best?

On the NAN tin it says I should give Rachel 120ml 5 times a day. But she is still feeding every 3 hours so she is getting 8 bottles a day but still drinks 120ml. Do u think this is too much? I have stopped her 10pm feed now so she is getting 7 feeds but still more than what the tin says? She is gaining weight and clinic is very happy just wondered why the tin would say that.
