Just thought I'd let you know how we went last night with the not wrapping thing. Well I put Cameron down after his wake up feed about 9.15pm, I finally fell asleep about 12ish, then woke about 5ish as DH was not well (he caught our virus which seems to have a queasiness part to it) and I thought Woohoo - he had slept right through. As DH was making a fair bit of noise , Cameron stirred, but ended up going back to sleep without us going in. But when I later spoke to DH apparently Cameron did do a little cry about 1.30ish, but as I didn't get up to attend to him DH said he went in, flipped him back onto his back and he went straight back to sleep (Cameron didn't even open his eyes). I must have been zonked , cause I didn't hear a thing (mind you this virus thing has made my right ear all blocked, I can barely hear out of it). So I guess all in all he slept ok, as I don't think the wake up at 1.30 or 5 were cause of not being wrapped, as he has been doing that wake up on and off for the last few weeks. So will probably continue to leave him unwrapped, depending on the weather and what kind of day we've had.
Today we had a nice day, went and had lunch with one of DH's Aunty's we haven't seen for a couple of years. Unfortunately Cameron doesn't sleep the best when we go out (only sleeps for 20-40mins), which usually means grumpy Cameron comes out in the arvo. I tried to put him down when we got home, but he was a little overtired by then and it was getting close to feeding time. DH then wanted to give Cameron some farex. I was a little hesitant at first, as it was almost milk time, but as DH never gets the opportunity to do it I thought why not, especially as Cameron hasn't really been interested in it for the last couple of weeks - I figured he would eat much anyway. Well to my surprise Cameron finished it all. He then got grumbly again so I tried to put him to bed again, but wasn't ready. So I decided to feed him, though expected him not to want much after a big farex feed. Well once again wrong, he drained both sides! (and I had missed his lunch time feed, as he had a full 225ml formula bottle). And now finally asleep in bed.
So I wondering if in future would that be ok, for the 2nd and 4th feed of the day, I do the solid feed before a BF. Then I would try to make sure he had a good feed on the 1st, 3rd and 5th feed of the day. As it is so hard to do the solid feed after a bf, as he usually he fills up so much on milk, there is no room and no time for the food. Will try to play around with the times this week and see how we go.
Has anyone gone to visit Santa yet? I was thinking of doing this over the next couple of weeks. I am wondering how Cameron will go with Santa. Apparently I screamed at my first trip to see Santa (i would have been about 4months old). But Cameron doesn't mind being passed around to different people, and he had had cuddles from bearded men, so hopefully he would be ok. Will be interesting.
Well I better go start to get ready. Got a 50th birthday party to go tonight - there will be a few family members I haven't seen since having Cameron so kinda feel like we should go to introduce him. Plus as Sassy said, it is sooo hot (we are on the Gold Coast too), so would only sit here sweating (to uncomfortable to sleep yet - hope a breeze comes later).
