Abb- great to hear DS is doing well now and GREAT on him sleeping in his cot, i havent even tried with tiahna... she's been sleeping so well in the rocker i'd hate to unsettle her sleeping... SHe was FANTASTIC last night. slept from 10-7 this morning... i feel GREAT.. (dont mean to rub it in sorry) i never had this luxury with my DS he would only sleep 2 hours at a time during the night and 2 hours awake before he'd go back to sleep... he was never a sleepy baby after the first 3 days. even now he's up at the latest 7.30am and can still be awake at 11-12 at night... he just doesnt get tired... if i put him to sleep earlier he's up at 3-4am.
I still wrap Tiahna but she hates her arms in so i just wrap like the elbows tucked in and that way if she wakes and pulls them they easily come out- otherwise she gets grumpy and fights the blanket. The reason we havent tried the cot also is that her room is FREEZING at night. which is why she wont sleep in our room either... we have an oil heater but she still loves the lounge room with the gas heater going... (its costing a fortune but so worth it for the sleep.) also WOW at being back at work since ds was 3 weeks old.. thats awesome strength you have. i must sound like i big sook not wanting to go back in dec.
Tiahna has been wanting more and moore feeds... i guess my supply needs to catch up to her once again... she had a bad period of screaming last night i ended up having to hold her tightly against my chest patt her butt and hold her hands down as she gets so tired (well overtired) and screams till she's blue and always fussing and rubbing at her face... its so distressing to see she scratches and practically gouges (spl) her eyes out. but once asleep i'm so stressed and upset the long sleep is just what i need.
Is it normal for her to sleep so long without a feed??? she still sleeps during the day (less and less everyday) still has a few 2-3 hour sleeps.
