people on here need to stop having a go at this girl - just because she has 2 kids at 16, doesnt mean shes on benefits or is an unfit mother. so what if shes on the computer, her baby was asleep anyway, and shes entitled to a bit of free time 4 cryin out loud! its up to her what age she has children at, it probably better to have kids early anyway, that way the parents are still young and fit enough to run around the park with them etc.
and about the names... i prefer Charley.
good luck, enjoy your daughter and make sure you prove this lot wrong by being a brilliant mother.

Kacey is my cats name so Charley gets my vote!! Good Luck with her I am sure she'll be gorgeous whatever her name is going to be! Feeding on demand has worked for me three times on the run, start putting her to bed at night in a cot, maybe her moses basket inside the cot, put a baby monitor on so you can hear if she wakes, she will start to know night and day and will sleep through the night quicker, try giving her a bath and a bottle and then settle her down for night, babies love routine and fall into routine pretty quick so keeping to a routine from birth works well, it did for me anyway, all mine slept through the night from 4 weeks,!! All the very best! Mum of three xx

Congrats! I love the name Charley, if I ever have a baby girl thats what Im going to name her! I don't have any kids so I'm no sure what to say about the sleep, changing, and feeding routine....good luck!

Congrats!!! Kacey is a much prettier name than Charley. Just personal opinion of course. And don't worry about routines, schedules, etc. You'll figure it all out on your own.

As you should already know new babies decide their own time to eat sleep and poop. lol But with having two you should try and feed them around the same time so they can both go to sleep together. To get the most sleep you can get try and sleep when ever they are sleep. Do chores around the house and other things while the two are just sitting around quite. That has always worked for me. And as for the name I'm lovin charley. Blessing to you and yours!

Names sound v. nice.
The babies will let you know their routine to work around. Try and get them to sleep thro the night asap, although with 2 this is going to be more difficult. You may want to express milk into a bottle to keep for when they're hungry, or have a fridge of formula to go.
Whatever you decide, congrats, and good luck.

CONGRATS!!! Every baby is an individual and therefor may want to eat, sleep and be changed differently than your first one..
First off if you are breast feeding than you are going to want to feed her every 2-3 hours unless she is sleeping, formula feed than around every 3 hours..Newborns sleep alot so I would just let her sleep when she is tired! With my daughter she would stay awake all night when she was tiny and I was worried that she was sleep deprived but I talked to my nurse and she told me not to stress and that a baby will sleep when she/he is tired no matter what the circumstances!! I changed my lil girl after every nap unless of course she pooped than do it right away..Hope this helps

watch out for your other child they can be really jelous.include your other older child in fetching a nappy and helping you.you have your hands full thats for sure.
make sure you have some infacol indoors for babies wind.
the routine will fall into place.
make sure you have some time to yourself though every mum needs a break.

Please put the brakes on the baby making and somehow try to get an education! You're very young to have two children. I can't believe you have time to be on a computer! I had my girls 20 months apart, was 27 when I had my youngest, and cannot remember having free time until like, they went to school!
Try spending more time paying attention to the newborn, she'll let you know what her schedule is!
