Things have been a little unsettled in our house the last couple of days. Yesterday Max decided to feed every 2 hours, the cheeky bugger (to those of you who do this all the time - I don't know how!). Anyway, by 4pm I was exhausted and desperately needed my nap, which I had tried to have at 3 but Max didn't settle after his 2pm feed. Luckily DH came home soon after, so he was able to look after him while I slept. Only problem was, he didn't put him to bed, so when I got up Max was v v tired. He ended up not settling properly till about 11 last night! I think that's the first time we've been through that. Although, we are still quite lucky, cos even though he wasn't setlled, he doesn't cry much if we hold him.
Anyway, today has been better. Max has still been waking up 2 hours after his last feed, but I've refused to feed him till 2.5 hours after. Again, he's been pretty much ok so long as being held. Hopefully he will settle back down to 2.5-3 hours between. DH is doing the middle of the night feed for me tonight - yay! I just hope I manage to sleep through and my breasts don't get too sore and full!
Someone mentioned that their bubs hadn't had a dirty nappy for 2 days - lucky you! EVERY SINGLE time we change Max his nappy is dirty. I am starting to use my cloth supply cos I just hate the waste with disposables. The other morning I went through 3 napies in 1 one change - first he pooed on the clean one, then he weed on the next one - third time lucky and I got the nappy on. So, we're using the few MCNs I have that fit and also old-style cloth, but still only part time as I don't have enough for full time use yet. Also, at this stage I just can't be bothered dealing with cloth during the night, so think I will keep him is disposables at night for a bit. Also have ordered some more MCNs. Can't wait till they get here.
Speaking of cloth nappies - does anyone know where to get flushable nappy liners? Can you get them in shops, or are they only available online?
