'Does Olivia sleep through, if so did you sleep train?'
Olivia has a very funny relationship with bedtimes. One month she will sleep through and then next she'll wake every other hour. At the moment she is having a bath at 6 then having a bowl of porridge and being taken to bed where she will be feed for around 5 minutes and then gets put in her cot where she'll sleep through until 4-5 then want feeding again. I didn't sleep train with her I was just very persistent. She never comes out of our bedroom once she's in there to sleep but I've never left her to 'cry it out'. As soon as she looks distressed (I have a video monitor) I go and see to her.
'How often does she feed in the day'
She has a feed when she first wakes up, then has a fruit puree for breakfast, at 10 o'clock I feed her again before her nap and some times again after her nap. She has a drink of water with her lunch (veg puree) and then will usually have one more feed before her bedtime feed!
'Whats the longest period of time that you've left Olivia for?'
The longest I've left her for was when I went Christmas shopping in Brighton. Me and my doughnut boyfriend left all the shopping until 4 days before Christmas so we had to leave her for around 8 hours as it wasn't very practical taking a 7 week old baby shopping in Brighton when it was so busy and we had to buy so much!

'How long do you plan on breast feeding for?'
Originally I was only going to feed her until she was 6 months old but now after realising how much we both love it I'm going to wean her at a year old. I'll probably still pump but just give it to her in a sippy cup rather than from me.

'Do you ever wish you didn't breast feed so that you could have a proper break?'
Honestly, no. Sometimes it would be lovely for Callum to feed her when she's having a bad night or clingy day but I'm not really into going out drinking any more and seems as she is usually quite good with sleeping I do get a break once she's asleep.

'Do you ever feel like you're doing everything wrong and that you're not a very good mum?'
Hahaha, I think every parent must think this at least once, especially at 3 in the morning.

'What was the best and worst part of your pregnancy'
I have a couple of best bits, the first being the first time I felt movement. It really does become a reality that you're pregnant once you starting feeling them move. The second best bit was the last few weeks when I could see and feel things like her bum or foot poking out.
The worst bit was definitely the first 15 weeks. Morning sickness was at its peak, I had a bleed which completely terrified me for months and with not being able to feel her move yet I just constantly thought I'd had a miscarriage!
Thank you so much for anyone who took the time to ask me questions
