Jasmine only will take 120mls at the most and sometimes before bed she'll only down about 80mls. Shes just not a big eater, Gemma was the same. So I'm guessing I'll giving her an early morning bottle for a while. I'm not fussed though as I know she needs it.

Kirsty, Tom isn't sleeping through either. He only did it that once, but has only woken once in the night since then - 3:45 the first night, 4am the next night, then 2am last night. We are going to get there I think but we're not there yet. I read an interesting article the other day about babies needing to double their birth weight in 4 - 6 months, and that they won't start sleeping through until they have nearly achieved that. This seems to follow with my boys, Jack slept through from about 6 weeks and had doubled his birth weight at 3 months. Tom is still not sleeping through at nearly 4 months but isn't double his birth weight yet either.
We are going to Vanuatu a week from tomorrow. We really needed a family holiday after having such a high occupancy rate at Hotel Melanie LOL. We thought we would fly somewhere while we can still not pay for Jack who is 2 on 12/02. Then we managed to find really cheap flights to Vanuatu and got the accommodation for a good price too, so thought why not. LOL, now I know why not, we will need a whole suitcase just for nappies, breast pads etc!
Kate, yay at the 5 hours sleep. Let's hope she keeps that up and improves. You truly are amazing to be able to go so long without proper sleep and still want another bub soon. Are you still bfing?
Emma, they do seem to go through an unsettled period at around 4 months where they feed more often. I remember Jack doing it, and now Tom is. Many people think the bub needs solids at this stage but most find it doesn't make a difference or makes it worse, so that is not likely to be the reason for the fussiness. I think it's just one of those developmental stages. Unfortunately it can last for a few weeks though!
Kathryn and Kate, I'm so glad we now have Tom's Christening off our to do list. LOL, now it's Jack's birthday party to organise! Hopefully that will be it for a while!
Marion, I hope Kirsten is feeling better. At least she is sleeping so well!
Hi Tegan, Belinda, Ally, Jean, Christy, anyone else?
As I said above, Tom hasn't slept through again, but I'll take one wake up! It still beats every 2 hours! He is having his 4 month vax on Monday, so I'll get his weight then. Unfortunately I have to do it while DH is away. I could have done it on Thurs after DH is back, but then we are flying out on Sat so I didn't want to risk having the vax so close to that. Can you believe he will be 4 months old next week? I can't !!
We are doing well with DH away. Jack got a bit upset when I dropped him at daycare yesterday but was fine after a minute or so. Then when I went to pick him up he said "daddy coming back", so it's obviously on his mind. But he has been so well behaved and helpful. Everyone has said to him "be good for mummy while daddy is away" and I swear he has understood bcos that's exactly what he's doing! Tom has been unsettled for 2 of the 3 days though so my hands are full, but it is nice having extra time by myself with the boys. Mind you if Tom stays unsettled I might not feel that way by the time DH returns on Wed!

Charlie has been sleeping through for a while now and he is no where near doubled his birth weight. He has only gained 1kg since birth.
