Forum Name: rayray State: Vic Baby's DOB: 21/11/2005 Baby's Stats: 4640grams, 59cms tall and head circ 38cms Gender: Boy Name: Milo Jay Baby's website: Health Concerns: slight jaundice at birth & first few days Notes: 1 week 3 days over, induced & birthed naturally - used gas.
Milo has been sleeping from 11:30 is til 5am, or whenever I wake him - overnight and morning are generally longer sleeps, gradually shortening throughout the day til the afternoon when its 2 hourly 'frenzied' feeds til he sleeps through again.
Not sure if theis means I'm mistaking sleep signs as hunger, or if its just his feeding pattern?
I'm breastfeeding though, so I guess if he's not hungry he won't eat right?
Breastfeeding is, well interesting. Because he was so big, and my milk didn't really com in til day 4-5, they were really close to comp feeding him on formula, even though none of the midwives wanted to, so we decided I would express 2 hourly through the day and 3-4 hourly at night to help increase my milk supply and get it to come in a bit quicker.
This was good, as we just made it through with no comp. feeds required.
I'm still having problems attaching him though, so feeds are fantastic, others we struggle through, and I'm left wondering whether he got anything, and how long my nipples will take to get over it!
Well, better go, he's dur to wake (or be woken) pretty soon.
