8-[ Hello, hello.... the bouncer at the "1-3 Month Thread" said I could come in as long as I found my friends & left straight away....
I miss all my August Thread pregnancy buddies but they got clever on me & had thier bubs early! You know who you are! [-(
Fletch I hope your bb's are feeling better.... a really hot shower & massage does wonders (not to mention some valuable time out for mummy) Your little Zane is DIVINE! I love the new smiling pics! Cant wait to see Hunter breaking out into a grin. I've just come of antibiotics for mastitis so fingers crossed it is good & gone.
I must admit ladies.... i am reading your posts about bubs sleeping 6-8 hours & positively SALIVATING! =P~ Hunter is still only managing 4 hour stretches through the night (11pm feed, 2.30am feed & then awake by 6.30am)
We are in a pretty good routine & he is a really good boy.... i had my ECC home visit yesterday & the woman was absolutely awesome.... what a lovely lady she was. Very down to earth & reassuring. Hunter has put on 580g in the last 13 days & the average for this period is 300-400g so i am feeling good about everything in terms of his health.
I am also forcing myself to go walking between 4-5pm which seems to make all the difference to his unsettled time in the afternoon (between 5-7pm).
Quick question to all the 'old hands'.... how do i know when he is ready to drop a feed? In order to keep my milk supply hearty & promote night time sleeping we are still feeding 7 times a day (but he is very fast & drains a boob in 15 minutes) but for the last five days i have actually had to wake him for his 10.30/11pm feed & he is sleepy throughout it. Any thoughts? I'm nervous about dropping it though because that would mean he would go from 7pm-2.30am. Is that too long for a bub his age to go without food?
Hunter is great though.... an old soul. Sometimes he will just lift his head & look at me as if to say "Come on Mummy, sort yourself out" it is a crack-up.... he seems like he is the one being patient with me! Watching DH with him has added a whole new dimension to my love for this man. He is besotted. I'm ok.... a bit emotional from the lack of sleep but i know it wont last. :-({|=
