As for Trent, well he is just more and more adorable every day. He is 12 weeks today As of Monday night, we have tried to wake him around 11pm to feed him in HOPE that he will sleep for the night. He only slept 4 hrs the first night, 5 hrs last night so HOPING it will be 6 hrs tonight. Since he is nearly 3 months old, I thought we'd better try to not demand feed him at night so he can hopefully sleep through. Im going to my mothersgroup meeting today so will ask the MHCN about it and what she recommends.

Sorry to rant on girls. Just so much happening with me and its all getting to me. My head is just reeling at the moment with everything going on.

Have a good day.

Take care,
Tania
Tania - the line i bolded - please don't take this the wrong way, but night weaning can cause more issues than feeding on demand overnight. there have been a few threads on BB lately about people who have tried and it has caused more issues for them. and three months is very young for a bubba to be trying to store enough in their tummy to sustain them overnight

my DD got to the point of sleeping through very young - she was doing 6 hour stints by 5 weeks, 8+ hours by about 10 weeks. at 6months (ish) that all fell in a heap. we hit hotter weather, she was teething, started solids - and sleeping through went out the window and feeding on demand overnight started again. i can't deny her the drink she needs though. i wake and drink water overnight, so i can understand her wanting to have a drink. i believe in letting her guide us as to what she needs and when. it would be nice to be sleeping through but she is only young once, and it can work better to work with your bubba rather than against what they naturally need. hope that makes sense!

AFU - DD is only a couple of days off 8 months. she has a healthy appetitie and eats just about everything. mashed vegies got the big frown though - she spat them out - much to my embarrassment seeing it was prepared for her by friends of ours! oops! tomorrow we are getting the first of her eye tests done. not looking forward to it, but i know it has to happen and at least if we get on top of any issues early. friday she has her weigh in - she's doing well though - been weighing her at mum's - think she is a bit over 8.5kilos now
