Congratulations

I can only imagine how excited you must be.

Here are a few links that are more on topic than an epilepsy site.

Congratulations!! im not too sure about breast feeding as my daughter was born early and couldnt latch on, but bottle feeding is every four hours, i had to start waking my daughter up in the night at the start as i got told off by the midwife! well i didnt know! a few of my friends have breastfed and they said its pretty much feeding on demand for the first few weeks then try and work out a routine hope this is atleast a little bit helpful, i used to go onto a website called askbaby it has a forum too and helped me with a lot of things, hope all goes well xxx

oh plus you could express milk so if your feeling tired some one else can do the feed x
