It doesnt really matter, just within those times i would give him a bottle. If he looks like hes starting to stir around the 3 hour mark, then get him up and give him a bottle. Otherwise id just let him sleep to the 4 hour mark, but not really go past that. If you do then no big deal, just feed him when you notice the time. He's putting on weight isnt he? Thats all thats important. But he will let you know if hes hungry. You might find if he does sleep for a long period he'll want another feed not long after that inital one he gets when he wakes.
I must be such a slack mother - I don't even really notice the time when she wants her bottles.. lol..... when I do notice, she's basically on every 2 hours during the day - and I never wake her if she goes over, I know she is putting on weight thats the main thing.
Come to think of it, I don't think I ever had to wake DS either..... ahhh.... to be blessed with a child that SLEEPS would be nice...
Mel- LOL ur funny. I think I will give him his bottle every 4 hours during the day the last one will be at 12am & see how he goes after that without me not waking him.
Tasia.. yep i wake Keira during the day every 4 hours for her bottle if she doesnt wake herself. Just change her nappy, give her her bottle and then sometimes shes out again so just put her back to bed. At night after her 10.30-11ish bottle i just let her go until she wakes. Usually its around that 4 hours period.. sometimes 5 hours.
Just had my CCN visit. Keira has a small tongue tie. But shes able to still stick her tongue out a bit so shouldnt be a problem. Just need to keep an eye on it over time. But she said it may explain why my nipples got so sore so quick feeding as if they have a tongue tie they tend to suck with their lips rather their tongue. Very interesting!Shes put on roughly 600grams and her head is 3cm bigger (boofhead!) in 3.5 weeks which is good too. She also told me, i can give her a little cooled boiled water if need be (bottle fed babies only). Can help settle the wind if its a little warm. So yeh whoever was saying their friend said that, they were right. Will try that tonight if the colic relief dont work, but she said yeh that the brauer one is a good one.
Kel- Wat if keira is awake before her 4 hours feed would you still feed her even if she's had a bottle say at 2 0r 3 hrs ago? Jonathan is tongue tied as well but maternal nurse said it's normal & Jonathan's isn't that bad, but we were thinking when he gets a bit older we might snip it off (who knows) See how he goes..
Jacob had mchn appt yesterday put on 225 grams in 2 weeks grew 2 cm and head 1 cm bigger. Not putting on as much weight as everyone elses baby but adequare amounts.
Today i had 6 week ob check and pap smear, Jacob was well behaved while there!!!
Losec seems to have reduced vomiting so that is good still not sleeping much but hope that comes soon!!! Hes not to bad at night but doesnt often sleep in basinet.
Anastasia happy bday for other day! rude dh for forgetting.
Kellxx hope bubs sleps throught night again for u how ace!!
Tasia - Happy birthday for Sunday. I hope you had a fantastic day! I didn't know you were a twin. I'm a twin too. We're not identical either. We feed Haydne no earlier then 3hrs, but during the day no later then 5hrs, or earlier, depending on how it works out for the late night feed. (I hope that makes sense)
Kell - YAY! @ Keira putting on weight. That's greatttttt. Yeah, it was freezing here last night too. I knew when hayden woke up he'd be coming into our bed cause it's so cold. I felt sorry for the poor little mite.
Pixie - Did you end up vacuuming while Beth slept? I had music going and vaccuming theo ther day while Hayden slept. It didn't bother him in the least. He even slept through all this building noise, like power tools and those loud things. I was like 'What a champ!!' We were never really quiet around DS1 either, so he can sleep anywhere.
Mel - I'd relax and just do nothing. Chill and look after yourself. Lol @ your DD getting longer by the minute.
Mez - It's great when they love the carriers. Hayden loves his too. Hope your mum has a great time
Kristy - How's things? How're you all??
Feeb - I'm glad the stuff is helping with the vomiting. Great to hear your little man was well behaved and your checkup went well.
Anyone else feeling like they've lost themselves?
Like you do everything for everyone else, and you seem to forget about you.
Anyways, I'm a bit like that at the moment but I'll snap outta it soon, I always do. Lol.
