Sam loves his baby sister. When she cries he lovingly tries to shove a juice cup in her face. He diligently prods at her face pointing out her 'eye's' and tries to get his pudgy fingers in her little mouth to assess her biting abilities.

The differences between Molly and Sam is astounding. It's hard to believe they come from the same genetic stock. Sam was a content baby, he loved to eat and piled on the pounds quickly. He was happy to sit in his bouncer and didn't care who held him. Molly on the other hand is fussy, she makes each feed a trial and will frequently only settle if she is being held by me or in the sling...on ME! She is much more 'delicate' and ...well, girlie haha!

Generally things are going well, she is drinking expressed Mummy milk during the day and 'on tap' mummy milk at night. Its just what works for us. She will drink around 2oz every 3ish hours and likes to be carried or sleep on my chest the rest of the time. The nights are not too bad, she only wakes a few times and thankfully Sam is sleeping through!
