TM - something that might be useful.....when my second baby was little, it took me a really long time to work out why she was awake so much.....eventually I worked out that she was sleeping with her eyes open. the REM should have given it away, but it didn't. Reuben is so much like his sister, and he too sleeps with his eyes open often. People who are not aware start to stimulate him because he is 'looking around'.....until I pounce on them not to stimulate/stir a sleeping baby! So, Reuben sometimes looks like he is awake/asleep/awake/asleep - but in fact he is just sleeping with his eyes open. lol! babies can be so interesting. BTW - your daily routine with Jade looks fantastic! Yes, babies do stay away longer between feeds as they get older.
