(1) I ought to have acknowledged Gruppie Mama's mighty influence on my new environmentally friendly lifestyle. I wouldn't have had the tools without her. If you have a moment, check out her thoughful list.
(2) Baby V will NOT SLEEP. I put her down to sleep at 7pm and she didn't fall asleep until 9:30, screaming bloody murder every time I swaddled her, but unable to sleep without the swaddle. And then she woke up at 1am and 4am and HAD to be fed, then finally woke up completely at 6:20am, at which point she pushed against her swaddles with the power of The Hulk, pulling blankets over her head and screaming for help.
(3) Our thrush is out of control. My breasts ache terribly, she smells like feet and we practically have mushrooms growing from all our orifices. And I lack the mental capacity to problem-solve this.

If you would like some advice from a total stranger who went through much the same thing (no sleep/thrush/no sleep/screaming baby), send an e-mail to lynn at motormouth dot com and I'll be happy to offer what helped for us.
I know you are probably sick and tired of people offering up advice, but Carolina's routine is a long, warm bath, a bottle and then to bed on her belly with the bathroom fan running all night long. We have been doing this for 3 weeks now and she has gone from giving us 2 hours at a time to 8 hours at a time. I know belly sleeping is considered bad, but it may be the only solution to keeping you and your family sane....good luck...and my thoughts are always with you because sleep deprivation is truly horrendous!
Keep me posted on the thrush assault, hopefully the plan we laid out will HELP, pronto!!!!
Oh, and thanks for the shout out :).
