Leesha, does a cleft lip mean that it will be easier for the surgeons to fix and for Taj's recovery than if he had a cleft palate? Zeke never gagged when he ate, just that he spat a lot out at first. He still makes a bit of a mess even now!
Kerry, Zeke was pretty good about the storm, although he woke when it started up initially and was in bed with me after that, so I think that helped. The reason I suggested swaddling her is because Zeke can't roll when he's swaddled (yet!) so it may help Freyja stay put while she drifts off. The wind and storm may have upset her too, Zeke is usually more restless when it's windy, the wind whistles really loudly down the side of the house past our bedroom window, and it upsets him (and me!)
Hopefully she'll let you have a bit more sleep tonight, Zeke has just gone down. I gave him a top-up bottle when the storm disturbed him instead of waiting for his usual feed, and really encouraged him to drink a lot last night and he did 6 hours, which was absolute bliss! I'm going to try it again tonight and see if I get the same result. It's easier for him to drink more from the bottle b/c it flows more quickly than when he BFs, which meant he barely had to wake up at all!
Got a baby shower for my sort-of neice tomorrow, yay! The only shower I've been to before is mine, so I'm excited to see how this will turn out. Oh, and she's sort of my neice b/c she is DP's stepsister's baby... confusing!
