Just wanted advice from Mum's on what your routine looks like these days. At the minute bubs still has 5 BF per day - 6am, 10am, 1.30pm, 4.30 and 7pm. But am returning to work in January and need to reduce BF (as he won't take bottle).
Current routine:
6.30am Wake and BF
7.30am Bkfast
8.30-9am Sleep
10am Wake and BF
11-11.30 Lunch
12.30-1 Sleep
2 Wake and BF
4 Nap
4.30 BF
5.30 Dinner
6 Bath
6.30 BF
7 - 7.30 Sleep
But want to change this routine to less BF - he still needs the three sleeps per day as well. Have read BabyLove, been on Babybliss and Tresillian websites and was thinking of a routine that looks like this - but not sure about BFs.
6.30am Wake and BF
7.30am Bkfast
8.30-9 Sleep
10am Wake and Snack
11-11.30 Lunch (should I BF here?)
12.30-1 Sleep
2 Wake and (BF or snack??)
Nap and up by 4.30pm
5pm Dinner (bring dinner forward as no BF??)
Bath
BF
Bed
Nina - congrats on your wedding DH and I celebrated 5 years of marriage yesterday and I still remember the reception as the best party I have ever been to.
Julia - Welcome. I am Hayley, mum of 4 (aged, 6, 4, 2.5 and 8mths). My March08 baby is Ari James. He is crawling, pulling to stand and starting to try to walk around the furniture. He is breastfed on demand and eats some family foods. He is 9.2kg (bare) and 72cms tall. He doesn't really sleep all that well but we are down to 1 feed a night now (about midnight) and then he stays in bed with me and feeds at 5-6am , then back to sleep till the kdis drag us out of bed.
I don't do routines so no help on that front. I do know though that breast milk is a very important part of babies diet and should make up at least 50% of their food intake 6-12mths and then about 30% from 1-2years. So just be careful that bub is still getting what he needs from you . WHO | Breastfeeding
OK - CM pmsl , would of been some crunchy rice. I made muffins and instead of adding 400mls I added 4 cups of water. I think its called mummy brain.
Julia - Welcome to the thread, my son is also called Will (William). He is one of 3 Wills who all live within 200m of each other and are all close in age. Will must be one of the popular names for 08 I think .
Andie - It is only natural to feel apprehensive about going back to work. It is a big transition to make. I hope everything works out ok for both you and Cam.
Catherine - Sorry to hear your getting the nausea, hope it settles down for you soon. Are you noticing many differences between this pregnancy and your last?
Rusty - Reading about Cohen is like reading about Will. He is on a similar feeding pattern and is in 0's and 1's. He is now about 10 kg and 76 cm long. I am starting to wonder just how big he is going to get.
Well Will is chugging on ok. He had a virus a week ago, got over it and now has a rotten cold. Poor thing has been really off but is still able to smile and giggle. My heart just melts when he looks at me with a cheeky grin, red eyes, a runny nose and pick cheeks. I just want to est him up. He is also starting to move more. He has decided crawling is too much hassle so he commando crawls instead (on his stomach, using his arms and legs to move forward). I have spent this weekend baby proofing the house. this afternoon we are shopping for a gate to keep him out of the kitchen.
So now it is all about getting ready for the relly run to Perth for Christmas.
