just thought i would pop in and let you know that so far this weekend i have done 5 pages of scrapbooking =D> , i actually have been sitting on the floor in the room where lani has all her stuff and she lays there playing and watching so it has been great and jay is outside playing with dh so he doesn't constantly come in and annoy me lol - am planning on doing a few more pages today - want to get jays album up to date then start on lani's (then jessies but have been putting that off as it is going to be do hard and way to emotional for me - will leave that for a while i think)
anyway easter bunny bought af for me for the first time since november 2003 wow but lani has been a bit fussy on the boob - yesterday she had her morning sleep then only slept for 45mins in the afternoon so she was quite cranky luckily mum was here so she entertained her, thought i would have a few problems last night gave her a bottle at 7pm and she slept till 5am (no 1am waking hooray) then i fed her and resisted the temptation to just bring her into our bed (i sit on her floor in her room and feed her lol) put her back and she slept till 8am hooray again, she went down at 10.15am and it is now 11.45am and she is still asleep so hopefully she is settling down - i think it was a combination of af arriving (affecting the taste of the milk) and daylight savings ending, even tho she can't tell the time - i felt wrecked yesterday so can imagine the littlies would to, was contemplating giving her an extra bottle today in the arvo then only breastfeed during the night (if needed) and in the morning but my milk supply feels great so i will see how she goes if she is ok on the boobie then i will keep going.
speaking of that how many times do your bubs have there milk feeds - lani tends to have one during the night or hopefully really early in the morning then i give her one when she gets up usually around 7ish she just mucks around tho looking at jay and the telly, i then give her rice cereal and fruit around 8am, i then feed her either before her nap around 9 or 10 if she didn't take much earlier, or if she did i feed her when she gets up around 11, i then give her lunch around 12ish and at 2 i try and feed her then put her down for asleep then give her dinner at 5 and bottle and 7pm - do you think she needs more milk feeds - i tend to be guided by her when to feed but somedays if i didn't offer it i don't think she would have much milk at all.
sorry for the epic - gunna grab my scrapbooking stuff out - i have great ideas floating around my head at the moment.
