I've been feeling a little overwhelmed to post in here, I'm sorry. I'm just reading when I see a familiar face/name and saw your post Ash (I miss you!)
To me hun, sounds like Blake is having a growth spurt. I was asking the midwife/baby nurse the other day about Leo, I was saying to her 'why is it that babies are so calm for the first few weeks and then the crying/clinging/not sleeping starts' (as I've learned from experience not to get excited about my happy baby atm lol ). She said it's because around the 4 week mark that babies have a growth spurt and are unsettled and clingy because they are simply hungry. She said to me to demand feed and it will be all good. But that's BFing though, I don't have any idea on formula measurements and growth spurts. Can you ask your paed what to do if he's still acting hungry? Because Leo was a big bubba, he's having some days where he feeds every 3 hours, but last couple of days he's been eating on the hour and cluster feeding at night (constant feeding from 8-10pm) and that apparently is very normal.
ARgh, it's not easy working these bubbas out! But I reckon your instincts are right, he's hungry. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
Leon has a cold I feel like a horrible mum that he's caught a cold so young. I've been so careful not to take him out anywhere, to ask people to wash their hands with the dettol wash before touching him (including me) but I got a cold from DS1 over the weekend and now Leo has it and can't breathe through his nose which means he can barely suck as he can't breathe. It's been really scary and I've been too scared to sleep in case he chokes on mucous at night, so we've been up all night even when he's sleeping to keep watch over him, taking it in turns. He isn't sleeping at all in the day at the moment, probably because he feels rotten and I've got nothing done. If he wasn't sick, i'd have him in the baba sling to do things but I am worried about him feeling worse if I am carrying him around. He's such a brave boy, not crying hardly at all, just looking around at things and getting upset if I put him down. Poor bugger having a cold at 10 days old.
I'll have to get in the swing of things to catch up in personals with everyone, especially girls from our old May group. I'm sorry if I sound like a snob!
