Amy, I know you said that you have aircon on but do you have Bethany dressed and swaddled? If so she is probably just too hot, which is why she isn't feeding as well as usual. Try to wake her if you are worried by putting a cold washer on her to unsettle her and then feed her. If she nods off before she's drank what you are satisfied with put the washer on her again to stir her again. If she hasn't got a fever and is still urinating/pooing don't be too concerned. Bethany will start feeding again probably when you won't want her to.... around middle of the night. I had issues with getting Loralei to feed adequately but the washer does the trick for me. If in doubt call Tresillian or Karitane for over the phone advice tonight for reassurance.



(I guess you have a good excuse with 3 little'uns... I don't know how you do it, really I don't!).


- but gotta download some recent ones from camera . i hope Xander's needles were ok - Zander just unsettled on the friday and he had paracetomol Friday night and was good as gold again on Saturday - hope your little man is the same ....
. Hubby comes home Thursday night and the girls have been counting down the days while he's been counting the hours! He will be home on holidays for just under 6 weeks over Christmas and I just know we will drive each other mental. I'm so used to doing everything and being able to have the lounge room to myself (read: in control of tv etc) and he'll want to watch the cricket (
) and hog the wii (love wii fit!
). I won't want to be doing the wii fit while he's around because I'm self conscious about such things so I'll have to change my routine and do it in the mornings when he's still asleep.... basically reality has hit me and I'll have him underfoot. That said I am really looking forward to having him home with us. I'm so pleased his official posting has come through and as of Feb he won't be at sea for 2 years.
such a gorgeous collection of kiddies you've got there!
). X was GREAT! He is such a little legend. Screwed up his little face & cried a smidge (after sleeping the whole time we were waiting, and waking up at 7.15am to feed JUST when I wanted him to, for good timing). He'd already stopped crying by the time I stood up, and was asleep again within 2 mins. He's been fine all day - if anything a bit sleepier than usual - all feeds have been 4-5 hourly and he's been very settled (and we were out at very noisy BBQ tonight - lotsa young kids there). I was warned by DH's work colleagues to panadol beforehand, but I didn't, and I'm glad I didn't as he didn't seem to need it at all.
- yeah life sure is a juggle sometimes with priorities with 3 kiddies
which means not worthwhile going back to bed afterwards with school and everything. Oh to just have a baby again LOL - nah, wouldn't have t any other way of course .... except maybe on Sundays ... a biiiiiig sleep in would be noice
But I DO NOT want to go back to 2 feeds a night again - how selfish am I hey!
