Hi girls.. After a hard few days (fri - sun) Byron has finally settled. He still has had his grizzling time around dinner time, but in general is back to his routined self. The great thing is that he has slept through the night for 2 nights in a row. 8.30pm - 5am. I'm hoping it stays that way. I think the heat upset him, and maybe he was going through that 6 week growth spurt you are all talking about. He was 6 weeks yesterday in corrected age. He has his 6 week check up with the paed this Thurs. We went to the clinic yesterday & he has put on another 250g in a week. That's 3 weeks in a row that he's put on 250g exactly. Weird. The nurse at the clinic suggested I get his right eye checked out by the paed as it seems to not be keeping up with the left. I can't see what she means, it looks fine to me, but I will certainly ask about it. I hope it's ok.
SAMI - Do you put Z back to bed, in his cot, after the 4/5pm feed? This may encourage him to sleep for longer than 10mins. Byron normally feeds around 4pm, we play a little, then I put him back down to bed. This is his really unsettled time so I just keep resettling him. He normally needs resettling every 15-30mins. I just be persistant and sometimes use a dummy to drag him out to 7.30/8pm. I think those little cat naps are still helping. He seems to feed fairly well at 7.30pm. He was still waking around 2am for a feed. I try to get to bed around 8.30/9pm so that I could get a few hours in a row. Though I'm hoping he continues to sleep through the night now.
Sorry for the lack of personals. I have read all your posts though. I will try to keep up over the next few days.. xxx
