Hi Joy
as you probably know, we do a mix of bf & the bottle. He gets 5 feeds a day - four during the day and one overnight (the ECHNurse said 5 during day, but was happy with our 4 in the day and one overnight)
We've sussed out that even though he doesn't really look sleepy, that by putting back to bed 1:45 after getting him up, he will go to sleep - for at least 40mins
For instance today, got him up at just before 6am - he was chatting to himself... up, bit of a play, good portion of a bottle at 7.15 - I wanted to watch the Adrian Cronauer interview on Sunrise after the 7.30 news. He was asleep in my arms by the time the interview finished - he was in my arms and I was standing up rocking from side to side whilst it was on. He slept til 8.20-8.30, and the process continued... he did have a sleep for nearly 1.5hrs during early arvo, and back to bed about 30 mins ago
