I fed him last night around 5.45 pm and then he grizzled, cried and then screamed! So much for him going to sleep without a peep like the previous 2 nights. I had to pick him up to comfort him. Even then he cried a bit more. In the end I thought I'd try feeding him again as he only had a 10 minute feed earlier. Thankfully he fed for another 10 minutes and totally calmed down. I put him to bed and he was out like a light.
He didn't sleep for quite as long as the last time he slept through (12 hours between feeds). This time it was 11 hours between feeds. Because his last feed ended up being around 7.00 pm last night, this meant I got up to him at 6.00 am. I did hear him stirring around 5.00 am but he just kept himself amused.
His day sleeps are going fantastically as well, since I started wrapping him again and also closing the blind in his room. This morning he slept for 3 hours! Such a change from the 40-60 minute naps he was having before. Hopefully I will be able to keep wrapping during summer. I am using muslin wraps and put the ceiling fan on when it's really hot. I don't wrap at night though as he's always been a good sleeper at night.
Fraser – How is Charlie's cold? And holy moly Charlie is a BIG boy! Your back must be breaking!!!
kmh – I would be a bit nervous about taking a baby on a plane! I hope it goes well for you.
Bubseykel – Sounds like you were very spoilt for your birthday. That's great! Lucky girl
Boisey – Sorry I don't have any advice about moving babies from a bassinet to a cot. I hope someone can help you!
Cassie – Cooper has some dry patches of skin and I've been paranoid it is excema. It runs in both our families. I have tried to avoid peanuts during pregnancy and now while breastfeeding as I read this can help with allergies, excema and asthma. So yeah I'm not sure what it is at the moment. I only tried J&J bath stuff once and didn't like it. I had heard it gives babies dry skin but I still wanted to try it. I use Gaia bath wash and moisturiser. I hope Dylan's is going okay and he's not too irritated.
AJ – Sorry no advice from me about bottle feeding. Cooper has never tried a bottle. Initially I was going to express and get DH to help with some feeds but in the end it sounded like too much trouble for me so I took all my pump/steriliser/bottle equipment back to the shop!
chantal25 – Good luck with the sleep clinic tomorrow. I hope it helps.
