Love you Zoey!  Yes, I need all the support I can get.  ;) :-*

Okay, last night was better.  I had more success rousing her from her late afternoon/early evening snooze that she had done on previous days.  She had a great stretch of quiet alert A time from 7:15-8:00 or so and then fed and went to bed and we had much less partying.  :)  We changed several things last night, so I'm not sure which variables helped most, but rather than being up for an extended eating/burping/pooping cycle she slept several 3 ish hour chunks, had a good feed and then slept another chunk.  The feed right around midnight was still the longest, but just over an hour rather than several hours.  I think it was good all around as the time between feeds made each a bit better than all clustered together. 

I worked harder at burping her too as gas seemed to be contributing too the duration of her partying. 

New question--if her poop is greenish instead of mustardy, does that mean she's not getting enough hind milk?  I have that idea floating around in my head, but I'm not sure it's true.

From what I undertand (and I could be wrong :P), green poo is *usually* caused by gas and not a reflection of how much of what type of milk they are getting - there are varying reasons for the gas but the green poo is a common symptom of a gassy baby...  HTH
