I knew he wouldn't sleep through but I didn't think he'd want a feed at midnight, 4am & 5.20am. WTF? I have a newborn again. I guess all these days of not feeding properly has caught up with him. Now I have an exploda poo to go with it
for those of you who FF...how many mls is your little one taking? Jack is taking 200/210mls a time (it goes up to 210mls when made up) and drinks the lot ) BUT now he is 4 mths (by weeks not date) i tried the next lot up which is 250mls before adding powder..i added the powder made it up...and he just left too much for my liking. When did your little one drink the next amount up?? if you all get what i am trying to say?? it just seems like a huge leap from 200-250mls...
little man was in his straight jacket last night slept from 9.30pm til..well now he is still sleeping, had a feed at 6am (is basically a dream feed) woke him, he was 1/2 asleep then he finished his feed and straight back into bed asleep
katones - my DD only ever drank 150 - 180 mls tops - she never got past 200 so I stopped making the bigger bottles cos I was wasting so much - I put her on FF at around 4 months - hope that helps.
Georgi - just when we have them figured out hey - Zander feeds like crap before bed - he feeds around 6pmish which I have tried to change by moving sleeps etc etc, so then when I want him to top-up at 7ish, he doesn't want it and just wants to go to bed he is feeding fairly consistently around 4 - 5am for the past 2 weeks.
I am sick of all the probs I have with BB - cant log on, then interrupted, then database errors for the whole day etc - *sigh* not my server either cos I can do other stuff.
Zander has his needles this arvo, BBL hopefully. Need coffee
thanks samiH
he is a little piggy BUT i highly doubt he is going to drink 250mls+...he gets through his 210mls just fine now...couldn't expect the poor little man to drink 250mls 4-5 times a day....
teru..i got onto maz about the bumbo although am watching afew on ebay at the moment...
SamiH - its BB's server. they have out grown the other one. Be patient, it will be fixed one day.
Now Mia is back to normal she drink about.... 150-200mls 5-6 times a day. she is 4 months by weeks next week and there is NO WAY she would do 250 mls!!!!!!!!!! stupid tins! i dont think she will ever do that.. mayb @ 9-10 months.. if im lucky.
Katones~~ I still have Bethany on 180ml water 3 scoops, she should be heading up to the next level which is 240mls water 4 scoops total 260mls bottle. So I would need to change her to a faster flow teat, too much to have in the number 2 teat she has now but for now she seems happy with what she is having, each day or so I try a larger bottle and she finds it overwhelming. I figure she'll tell me when she wants more tucker
Georgi - That's great that BJ is feeding again. I hope he ramps up his feeding soon and then goes back to sleeping through the night for you.
Maya prob only had 3 OK feeds yesterday. I kept trying to feed her other times but she just would turn her head away. It was so frustrating. At her before bed feed I got fed up and decided to put her down for a sleep, but she wouldn't go to sleep. Finally after an hour of trying to put her to sleep I tried feeding again and she had a good feed. Ah well.. at least she did eat a good amount in the end.
Then at 3am she started squealing and DH and I bounded to her. She had a fever poor thing. I tried feeding and she drank a lot! Gave her some paracetamol. But it took a while to get her to go back to sleep! Finally she went to sleep around 4.30am! And slept till 8am and had another good feed. So at least it's two good feeds so far today! Hope she keeps it up!
Her sleeping is terrible though!! I've been struggling to put her down for a sleep this morning and finally have her lying in the lounge with me, hoping she'll calm down for sleep!
I have mums and bubs yoga this afternoon. First class.
