Sarah - we're still feeding pretty consistently every 3 hours including overnight - glad to hear I'm not the only one. Zac has done the odd 4-5 hour stretch of sleep, but no signs of that becoming a habit just yet. It would be nice to have a bit more sleep overnight wouldn't it?

Tinsel - great to hear from you! I'm with you on having bubs next to you - it seems like neither you or bubs have to get fully awake and therefore both easier to settle back down. My DH sleeps in our bedroom and I sleep in the nursery but DH has the baby monitor with him so if I need help I can easily call out to him. It's working pretty well for us, but I am looking forward to some bigger sleeps from Zac so I can get back to sleeping in my own bed ;-)

We had mothers' group yesterday and one of the mums commented how Zac always is so smiley and chatty. Of course you know what happened then! - he absolutely cracked it and screamed the house down

I'm finding the feed/play/sleep thing isn't quite a one-size-fits-all - a bit like Sarah I think. Since Zac generally only sleeps up to 45mins at a time, it goes more like feed/play/little feed/sleep/play/feed/play/sleep... I wish I could get him to sleep a bit longer during the day, but at the moment I will be happy if I can get him settled a bit earlier/faster than I'm managing at the moment. Either I'm missing his cues or he's changed them I think!

Anyhow, the grizzling has started, so time for a feed I think.
