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 ...
If you're all going to show off about your sleeping babies, I am going to show off about my post-baby body. I now officially weigh less than my pre-pregnancy weight.
Sami: The calculation for mLs per feed is 150 x baby's weight divided by the number of feeds per day.
Jude had a worse night's sleep than usual and I am tir-ed. I don't know if it's because I actually settled him into a long sleep during the day or maybe it was too hot (it was freakin' steamy hot). I found my old rusty fan and I hope that'll make a difference. I'll have to buy a new child-proof fan one day.
I don't even know what my weight is pre-baby x 3 - I think it is on another set of scales .... my body has just changed shape so many times as long as I am happy as *me* this is a good place to start!
Yep I know what the calculation for what babies SHOULD be having - but what is everyone's babies ACTUALLY taking??? EG for my DD the formula tin said she should be having 4 x 200ml bottles at a certain age - and she only took 120ml per feed cos obviously that was all she wanted and needed. Zander just doesn't seem to take more than 70mls out of a bottle and I have tried a couple of different teats - trying NUK wide neck at the moment - I have Avent bottles so don't really want to have to restock on skinny bottles ......
ok on the bottles front - we're currently expressing and giving EBM... he will take anywhere between 100 to 200ml. The formula tin says for his age he should be taking 150ml 5-6 times a day. I think he is definitely taking more than that, probably averaging 150-180ml per feed - does that help?
Oh and on the post-baby body - another woo hoo. My weight was less than pre-PG immediately following birth (and has remained so) mainly due to not putting on much weight during PG with the GD (and being a bit chubby when I got PG anyways!)
