Well today I am on my own with JD. DH went to work today. I did the late shift last night but was great because the evening feeds have been his hissy fits and last night he settled nicely and slept through from his 8.30 feed all the way through to 1.30am and although he was a little unsettled I managed to get him back down within an hour. So he was back asleep again by 2.30am. Then he woke at about 5am to which saw he just curled out of his wrap and sheet so I wrapped him back up and went to get his bottle ready. By the time I came back he was out to the world. So I left him and slept on the couch thinking he for sure would be awake within minutes. But he stayed asleep till 7am this morning. Thing is I give him his 100ml bottle either breast milk or formula and he seems to settle for about 10 -15 minutes and then wakes wanting more milk so then I either give him the breast for a while or a bottle.
Is this common, are the breaks between feds good? I don't have a clue if I am getting good sleeps out of him as I have no one else to compare with.
I hope I have got him down now for a few hours but he is fidgety so not that confident, but if he stays down I am dancing a jig as he settles best for his dad rather than me and that has beaten my confidence down a bit.
Its been so hot here that we bought JD a portable air conditioner cause his room was way to hot to sleep in. Now it looks like VIC is getting the heat wave this week. So hang in there girls. I know what its like. Grab some dvd's and be prepared to not see the light of day for the rest of the week if you have air con at home which I hope you do.
