Sorry to hear it - sounds like a pain. Last thing you need while little one is just settling into the world. I didn't have such bad problems but I think engorgement started to ease after 4-5 days so hopefully things will get better on their own very soon.
A blackboard in the kitchen changed our lives. Write things up there as soon as they start to run out. And reminders of stuff that needs doing. Also proper fortnightly supermarket delivery with meals planned out (top up from local shops middle weekend).
This van is making me angry! The music is so loud going past our house at 7pm. But I am being prevented from going out to confront the guy in case he is a serious and evil drug dealer who will make me sorry. If he's selling olives perhaps there's less of a threat.
Wow, sounds like it's all going on this weekend (when, unfortunately, we're away!). I'll keep my eyes open in the local press in future... Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
I haven't experienced this personally but I just stumbled on this. There's a list of strategies to help with nighttime fears at the bottom of the page. http://www.parentingscience.com/nighttime-fears.html
