Hi All
Yep Jacob feeds 2 or 3 times overnight too.... i have had a few longer stints but they are not a pattern yet and when he goes along stretch he then makes up for it with waking more ofetn for the rest of the night... he also wakes and grizzles and needs settling froma bout 5am onwards... but i can get hin back to sleep with settling other than feeding bc i know he isnt hungry and he wont feed if i try!!!
I tried the bag last night - umm not a success. he lay there playing with his hands and arms and so i eventually wrapped him after about 45 mins and he went straight to sleep. so i thonk i cant go cold turkey on the wrapping like i did with Noah and i will have to transition him. might start athread on how i do that as he is def too strong to be swaddled anym ore and i am really scared he will get the covers over his head again.
I have him in his moses basket next to our bed at the moment but he is WAY too big... thinking i need to move him to his cot but i like having him in our room. DH and i were discussing this morning, we thought about moving the cot to our room but not sure how Noah will take that. so not sure what to do. i may have to sleep in his nursery for a bit, as it is the other end of the house and also bc he does those unsettled times when i settle him back to sleep - but id ont want to be getting up abd down all night long for a quick settle (i dont mind for a feed). Really we should move house to a bigger one and his room woudl be closer but we are likely to relocate nexty year so we cant do that til we know what we are doing...
Cate - the feed play sleep thing was never consistent here with DS1 and it isnt with Jacob either... sometimes we seem to follow it and others not and his routine seems a little like Zac's. I think all of these things are great in an ideal world...
Heva - Jacob is in 00 wondersuits (though they are getting a little short) and 00 in most other brands - well 00 isa little roomy and 000 is pretty tight so in between i guess. i bought him some americal apparel suits size 3-6 months and they are TINY! bonds wondersuits seem to be odd sizing and i think they shrink? not sure... i am finding ti hard atm as the weather is so changeable - i bought hims ummer stuff the other wk because it got hot and now we are having 12 dgerees MAX... i am also a bit of a bind bc of his skin so i cant overheat him.. so we are doing the layered thing a lot. i also find the one piece suits with no feet are no good anymore- they keep rising up and look like shorts! so he wears mainly pants/top combo and occasionally 1 piece with feet. one piece with feet for bed too. geez you didnt ask for all this detail did you LOL!
I have decided to join weight watchers and am heading to a meeting today. i want to shift 5kg that hung around after Noah and about another 5-10 kg... i hope i can do it!
