Question... Have any of the bubs gone from taking 30min to feed, to 10-15min and then they are done?? Only one side!?
Eleni has done this overnight and again this morning.... She zonks out after 10-15min sucking on the one side, then I can't wake her to go again.. she flat out refuses and throws those cute little lips out! Do you think she would be getting enough in that time to last her...? Overnight she fed every 2.5-3hrs.
Harri- Zoe has started only taking 30 min to feed rather then 45 min-1 hr.. so they can get faster. as for the one side thing, is it feeling pretty drained? I always offer the second side and change her bum after one side to rouse her but she sometimes will just suck a few times and go back to sleep.
guess who slept the entire night in her bassinet!! (apart from her feeds of course at 12 and 4) was so nice to sleep properly! specially after the really early morning as we were up at 4:30am to make the dawn service. We brought one of those sleep positioners which holds their sides (safe and sound one) figured it would make her feel snug like the feeling she gets from being held and then put her in the love to swaddle wrap and it worked!!
Beatrix- yeah it feels pretty drained, although if i squeeze a bit comes out.. I think that I have a quick flow, because she chokes on it sometimes! haha poor little thing... she's still asleep from her 7:30am feed..2.5hrs so seems she's getting enough! I change bottom between sides also... and I have tried the wet face washer etc!.. not that I am complaining about quick feeds, just that I'm hoping she's getting enough!
I use the love to Swaddle wrap too, she likes it! Will have to go buy another one! Was just using the muslin wrap but she was getting her arms out and scratching herself.
Harri as long as she's weeing and pooing she's getting enough DS3 only ever took one side every feed.
Beatrix what is this sleep positioner??? Off to google now!
We've gone from happy to be put down and sleep alone to not wanting to be put down to sleep at all the last few days. Time to pull out the Ergo I think not getting a lot done. Feeling a bit sorry for DS3 too he can't get near me without bub as well. I'll have to work harder at some one on one time with him.
Willow- its one of those anti roll things.. not 100% recommended by SIDS though but we do have the angel care monitor in the bassinet and i figure the love to swaddle since her arms are up by her head if its positioned under her arms she cant wiggle down at all and I always place her in the bassinet so her feet are practically touching the bottom
