Seppy - Shes a snack feeder for sure! If it were up to her she would feed every hour i reckon! Normally its around every 2.5 hours during the day, unless i really persist and try to distract her / give her her dummy etc... so thats really good to know that it made such a difference with Emilia, ill absolutely try to stretch the feeds out to 4 hourly! How did you do it, was it mainly through rying to distract / give dummy? Violet is breastfed, which makes it a little difficult to know exactly how much she is drinking! But i do notice on the on the times where she has managed to last longer between feeds, she drinks for a lot longer (boobs feel fuller etc too) so yeah, but it totally makes sense what you say in that if they get decent long feeds during the day then they will not need to wake as much at night - awesome! i feel optimistic now about that! Also, hehehe nothing is really off limits here, we are all very much fine with the TMIs after all the pregnancy TMIs! And i havent got my period back, might be due to exclusively breastfeeding though, and the fact that she feeds to often, ha! How was her birth by the way? Hope it all went very well for you! And, i SO know what you mean about someone needing to invent a way of keeping dummies in their mouths! hahah. violet is a really active sleeper too, swats her dummy out, smacks herself in the face, scratches her face etc.. so that worried me about the one arm out of the wrap too, but ill give it a go!
Lolpigs, good plan, ill try to start wrapping her with one arm out! Good idea... as long as she doesnt keep smacking her face etc! also for some reason i worry about her little hands getting cold, haha.. maybe ill dress her in a onesie that has those little fold over mittens! Just cos DH is a hot sleeper so keeps the aircon on overnight most nights!
Nikky LOL yes i often feel the need to smack the DH too... heheh. OOh also we got a few photos taken by a photographer friend, ill try to upload..
