Ren: Bit late now, sorry....but depends on what you are doing. Firtstly I would be excited that she has had a great block of sleep!!! If you are going for a set routine then wake her. I personally don't like waking a baby. I think they sleep because they are tired and wake because they are hungry (or have another need) but that is just my opinion, others may disagree. My DD didn't double her birth weight until 8 months and is only just 10.5 kg at 22 months. She was sleeping 12 hours at night and the MCHN would tell me to wake her and feed her during the night. I did it twice but she was too hard to settle because I had disturbed her sleep so didn't do it after that. I figured she would wake if she was hungry and sometimes she would do just that. My DD was labelled 'failure to thrive' and she was exclusively bottle fed and drank more than the recommended amounts....maybe Ava is just going to be petite. You do what you think is right...you are her Mum and you are doing a great job with her!
Hello everyone else...it is lovely reading what you are all doing and how bubs are going. Good on you for using cloth nappies (I did it last time but not so keen with 2). I will come back tomorrow and do some personals.
AFM: The Naming Day was lovely. We had all the family there and the weather held out....just. Dash was really great and the ceremony was just beautiful. My DD released 2 balloons from an olive tree we bought as our 'family tree', passed a flame around on candles which eventually lit the candle in the lantern and dedicated the song "Beautiful Boy" to Dash - at which point everyone cried go figure.
Anyway, better go. I have to package up all of DD's clothes I sold on ebay. I made $200 from her second hand clothes!!!!
