Jemima I was just talking sizes to give you an idea how small Lachie still is - he is still in 000 but still wears alot of 0000 especially in the bottoms as he has such a skinny waist. He weight 5.8kgs and is 63.5cm Long, so very long and skinny!
Lachie slept for 8 hours last night, must have known Mummy was stressed. I had a bad evening last night, just feel that everything is getting ontop of me and I am far too negative and resentful towards my son.
He was stirring at 3am and I put the dummy back in and slept till 5am. Would have helped if I had of got a good night sleep and went to bed early, as I didn't get to sleep until midnight.
He didn't drink much at his 9pm feed last night only 120ml (and he kicked and stirred so much he threw up heaps and had to change his clothes), when he normally drinks at least 180ml (this is the only bottle of the day that is big), so I gave him a dreamfeed at 11pm of 80ml, so wonder if that was the answer to him sleeping from 9pm to 5am.
He hasn't been so good today, he has had 3 x 60ml bottles, 1 very small serve of solids and only one good drink of roughly 110ml. So that is 290ml out of a possible 480ml. How my child survives on so little and is so so active (just doesn't stop) I will never know and these meds for throwing up aint working he has also chundered so much today as well.
I tried giving him a little water today out of a sipper cup so he didn't get too dehydrated as it was really hot here today.
Anyone got any advice or tips I am just clueless and had enough atm. I am going to sleep in the spare room tonight I really just need a break.
Tania came over today and spent a whole day with us and she couldn't believe what a day entails for Lachie and I over his feeding and sleeping. She has always seen him for one feed and it has always been resonably ok, but today she saw a whole cycle and how much he spewed. Not good!
This child of mine constantly has 3 sleeps a day of 1/2 hour each, is this normal, I feel he needs more but wakes up screaming, just doesn't get in that deep sleep, I still wrap him to stop him from using his hands to rub his eyes and wake himself up with the dummy flying too. I also still wrap him cause he still has the startle reflex happenin. So he sleeps for roughly 9-10 hours of a night so that is a total of 11.5hours each day, this doesn't seem like enough??????
bye for now, going to have an early night, by myself, yeah! Think it is just what the doctor ordered!
Oh and Kim I don't know how you do it with no support from your DH, I would be in the nut house without Wade, you poor thing.

: Special comment to Kim
Im with you now!! What size was he when he was born ? Jesse was 8lb1 and 53 centimetres at birth but is now 70 centimetres long and about 7 kg - although I havent weighed him for a little while so that is a bit of a guess re his weight.
