DD's head was pretty flat at the back too and it does correct itself more or less as they grow and start sitting up and/or moving. I guess if I were to shave DD's head, then it'd be noticeable, but the blessing with girls in particular is that their hair will cover up all kinds of things! That's what I was thinking - when her hair grows maybe you won't be able to see it as much. I really hope it does correct itself - I don't want to leave it too late for anything to be done. Thanks ladies for your replies x

KellsBells replied : Angie, where about in Dubai are you? I have a great sling you are welcome to, and I was also going to offer some help. I'm by no means an expert...but I have been in your shoes and I can totally relate to your posts. Eldest DS has just started school and DH is on leave, so i was thinking I could pop over and help you for a few hours in the morning if you like? Let me know if you are interested and I'll post my email address. Bless you KellsBells - that's really, really sweet of you. It would be great to chat to someone that's been through the same thing and come out the other side. She will now only be settled to sleep with the boob! I know it's my fault for giving in but I am just so tired and don't have the strength or confidence at the moment to know how to deal with it.

Thanks so much ladies for your replies. I have a Doula coming to help next week while hubby is back at work. Feeding is going much better now and the breast compression has helped. She gained 400g in her 1st week so she must be getting enough! I have been trying to work on the settling to sleep but to no avail - she simply wont settle in her basket (even when full and sleepy) and if I try to put her in there she just gets upset and results in getting over tired and then the only way to get her to sleep is to nurse her to sleep with boob in mouth. I think i'm being a bit hard on myself - I just really don't want to teach her that this is how she falls asleep. Just don't know how to change her pattern - hopefully she'll grow out of it. I will def come along to the baby wearing workshop - think a sling is a great idea. Thanks again x

Hi ladies, Thanks for starting this thread fairycakeyumm. I am also due in Sept (7th) with my first and plan to be here over summer, eek! Very excited about it all but also bit daunting as I have no idea what i'm doing, what I need etc. Looking forward to chatting to you all over the months and hopefully catching up at the coffee mornings some time. xx
