Georgi: Blissful! Jude slept last night from 11pm until 5.20am, but I woke up at 4.30 wondering why I was still asleep and I just dozed until he woke up. I could have really done with that extra sleep, why did I wake up?
Itsme: I think our husbands like the "great baby handover" at the end of their work shift. I'm sure they miss their little families all day. Since Jude hates having a bath, my husband now showers with him and Jude loves it. He makes happy gurgling noises and then I take him and dry him and he plays with the towel. It's so much easier than running a bath and my husband said it's the closest bonding he can get with Jude.
Jude never sleeps until 11pm. My sister babysat yesterday so we could go out for mexican with friends, and she tried to settle him but I had to tell her he won't sleep until 11pm. Every night I wish I could go to bed earlier, but I can't.
PinkPalace: 1.26kgs in 5 weeks is plausible. Jude's gained 880gs in 5 weeks, but he's only a little guy.
Cathie: Having twins must be very difficult. I'm sure you're doing an amazing job.
Jude and I went to Seaworld yesterday with my sister, Brother-in-law and their 2 kids. My 3-year-old nephew was a nightmare. He actually hated the dolphins and had to leave the dolphin show and then he didn't want to do anything. Eventually he had some fun at Sesame Street Beach, but what a day! It was sooooo exhausting and poor Jude cried and cried because he was hungry and I couldn't feed him dead-on demand. I won't be attempting that again for a loooooong time.
Us too Katones - fed 7pm, then 12.30 (heat I think - needed a drink as it wasn't a great feed), and then 5.30 and back to bed until 8.30!
Kuraiza - very weird but I tend to wake about 80% of the time about 10 minutes before Zander demands milk. It gives me time to go to the loo, check the other kids have their bedsheets on, and I end up just getting comfy again and - WAHhh - well he's not that loud or noisy really. I don't think I would cope that well if he didn't sleep until 11pm! By then I have tried to have 2 hours sleep - but as I said in an earlier post, means I technically get up an extra time, but I am kinda glad he goes into his night time sleep around 7 - 8pm to tie in with the other kids. Do you go to bed and get DH to sit up with him so you get some sleep in the first part of the night?
Cathie - hi to you, you are forgiven for not posting much with twins - hats off to you hun
Itsme - have a woooooooonderful time tonight!
PP - how is it going for you the last few days?
belfie - where are you - hope everything is ok ...
Hi Georgi, Csab, Tanstar, AmandaJ, - I hope I haven't missed anyone .... due for some baby visitors - and Zander has only been asleep for 20 minutes - they might not even see him LOL
Sami: No, I can't sleep because Jude cries until he's choking unless he's firmly attached to my breast. This is currently an all day scenario. I did just get Jude settled after the nth feed of the day by singing the extended remix of "there were 10 in the bed" 5 times and walking around the apartment with him swaddled firmly in my arms. I can finally eat lunch (at 3.40pm) and have a well-earned milo. Phew!
My sister thinks he's being extra clingy today because I left him for 2 1/2 hours last night.
I'm here - just busy with my sis & fam visiting from interstate, plus obs, paed, physio & osteo appts!!! Two notable events for the week. Firstly - the other night X fed at 8.30pm (slow feed, put him down at 10pm)... then slept till 5.15am! WOO HOOO! Over 7 hours - I was thrilled.
Secondly, weight at the paed's - he's stacked it on alright! 5.4kg at 7 weeks. He's put on 2kg in 7 weeks!!!!
Quickie from me - Zander fed at 6.30pm and went to sleep at 7.15pm - and then woke at 4am for his feed - and gee he sucked me dry ....
If only he would feed a bit later or have another one around 9pm I would get a nearly normal night sleep!
Mind you I woke at 12am, 1am, 2.30am - checked him each time ....
For those that are giving bottles - how much is your little one taking - whether it be EBM or formula ... just curious as I have no idea how much Zander gets with the b/f gig ...
