Lol Hayley must be the opposite! Or she has been lately...all this week she has been having some long day sleeps - yesterday she slept for 2 hours in the morning then a couple of little naps, and went to bed at 7. The day before I popped her on our bed at 3 so I could have a sleep too, I woke at 6, she woke at 7 and then was back in bed by 8. The last two nights she has slept right through, but she has woken up tonight and I finished feeding her only a few minutes ago. Just waiting for her to go back to sleep before I go back to bed otherwise I'm up and down, which I hate!
I think it might be the heat though, weather has been funny here lately, cool then hot, cool then rainy then hot...the heat must make her sleepy! She only had 4 bottles yesterday too because she slept for so long!
I survived my week alone!! I ended up getting a bit of help from family here and there, which was great.
Eva has suddenly dropped her cluster feeding in the evenings and is now going to bed around 8pm. Most mornings she wakes between 2 and 4 for a feed, although these feeds are still up to 2 hours long. I much prefer her to wake at 2am so I at least get back to sleep for a few hours before my other kids wake up. It seems if she wakes around 4am then there is not point me going back to sleep. I do drift in and out of sleep but it is not a full sleep, so lately my days have been starting at 4am!!!!
I had really hard time of breastfeeding her a couple of weeks ago so we introduced formula. We only used it 4 time now but it does help when I just don't have the time to cluster feed. At least I know she can take formula without any hassels and I am so glad that I don't have to stress about expressing enough for emergencies.
Eva rolled from her tummy to her back yesterday and boy or boy she is vocal...lol I am making plans to move her into a big cot next week, that should be exciting.
