5 hour feed - play - sleep cycle

[Maruschke]

Arrrggghhh

I just don't know what to do with my MCN's. DD1 usually has a 5 hour feed play sleep cycle (I say usually because last night it was 2 hourly ). The trouble is that my MCN's last me 3-4 hours.

What do I do? Change her twice and double up the washing (that would also mean I need more nappies ) or try and boost an MCN with a bamboo insert to make it last that bit longer?

I used to just change when she needed it, usually before a feed and then after a nap, and that did us through her sleep-wake cycles.

Change her just before you put her down. You could try boosting but if she's already wet in it before she sleeps then it may leak anyway!

Miss M was feeding every 2 hours at that stage, so I would change her either before a feed (if I wanted her to go to sleep on the bottle) or after a feed (if she just woke up for a feed).
