Thanks Prama - i worked it out last tuesday and he should be having roughly 90ml per feed off that weight, guess i will see this week again with the weight check at the MCH centre. Ill just be more careful with the amount of EBM i put in a bottle, otherwise he gutses the whole lot and i suspect that's why he spewed so much...
Thanks again!

It can become a habit Prama but they are only little for so long and they grow out of it. Tahnie still comes into our bed sometimes and she is 4.5 but if i am too tired or want lots of room i just take her back into her bed. I love it you get lots of cuddles. This morning i had Codie, Tahnie and Summer all in bed with me all sound asleep, i couldn't stop looking at them all hehehe.

Summer was a little angel last night, went to bed at 9.30 woke at 2.30 then 7am and is still asleep. It makes such a difference when you get a good sleep, i doubt it will last so am making the most of it.

Hope you all had a decent sleep too xoxox

Thanks for the suggestion girls, I went out today with a friend and I found these alarm things that you put on your door or window and when the magnet seperates either an alarm or a chime will go off. I picked up 2 one for the front door and one for the patio door. Now all I'll have to do is remember to turn them off during the day and then turn them back on at night. I might just get one for the kitchen window for security purposes too. I looked on line and it said that sleepwalking usualy occures in children 5 to 12 so Cree's a year ahead of her time. But as far as causes are concern it says it usualy comes down to fatigue, loss of sleep or aniexty. All 3 make sence since Zoey's now in the picture. Hopefully this was a one time deal. Other than that Zoey we're doing okay just lossing our minds on school days lol. hope everyone is doing well!!!!

We're taking Lakshman to his doctor now, he's having a lot of phelgm and sounds so bad at night.
He was very good last night, had his feed at 10pm and didnt cry when he went to sleep. I woke up at 2.30 to see if he wanted a feed but he was still fast asleep. He woke at 4!! What a bonus. we had like 5 hrs sleep, tho i kept waking up to see if he was ok. but still!! then woke up at 8.

Will be back for personals.. lots of love

Trina - you're right, it's so wonderful to have him in bed, it makes me feel so maternal. *sigh*

Prama - How did you go at the doctors today? Hopefully everything ok?

Had the best night sleep last night! Jasper had his upset period from appr. 7 til 9, then, after a feed, off to bed and he slept until 2.20! From 2.20 he slept til 6 and then 9.30; so we got a very good sleep! Makes all the difference... Hopefully he'll keep this up. So far so good, the last three nights have been similar. The only negative is that he has a definate upset period in between 7 and 9; crying of the top of his lungs and nothing seems to settle him. But if he sleeps so well overnight I am prepared to put up with that!

Little boy crying... got to go!

Hi guys,

prama - I hope DS is ok. DD used to fall asleep a lot during feeds, I found changing her half way through helps sometimes, but other times nothing works!

Jacki - I was wondering how you were doing. I also have trouble sleeping a lot of the time - too many things to think about! And what a big bubby - that is a massive weight gain! I think DD has put on nearly that much since she was born too, but she was only 3.4kg at birth, so probably around 4.4-4.5kg now. It is amazing how fast they grow!

hi danda - yay on a leap year baby! I hope you are healing up ok - ouch!!

katkins - glad to hear Bry is doing well.

sueby - I hope you are feeling better.

esme - woo hoo on such a good night's sleep!

Jen - how are you going?

I think DD must have had a cold or something, as after being absolutely horrible for three days, she is herself again and I am getting some sleep! She is now managing a 4 to 5 hour stretch at night and is usually pretty easy to get down after her other two night feeds, so I think she is starting to understand day and night. I also discovered saline drops for blocked noses after a particularly difficult night - saved my life! It is amazing how much better you feel after a good sleep - like a whole new person. We have also had a couple of smiles lately which is just beautiful!

Hi Girls,

Prama -- 5 hours sleep well done!!!

My MCHN says a weight gain of 150g per week is what to aim for!!

Had a good girl sleeping last night went down at 9pm slept till 1am and then woke at 5.30!!
Pity that i had food poisoning and was up with vomiting and diarrhoea all night after the 1am feed. Had to get DH to give her a formula feed at 5.30 and Now DH is vomiting.
If only I could get some sleep

Sue
