Naomi, we're doing the same as BG. Feeding every 2 - 2.5 hours through the day. Long feed at 10pm (though often I don't have much left by then!) and then there's a little bit of a grizzle...cuddle...pat...grizzle...pat and then she'll pass out and usually sleep 'till about 6am. Will then kind of grunt and stir and suck her fists in her sleep (she sleeps next to me) and I'll give her a quick feed (she'll usually only take one side as she's almost completely asleep still) and then she'll go back down 'till about 9. Every now and then she'll ask for a feed earlier (say, 4:30am) but this is rare.
I know the regular day-feeding doesn't suit everyone but it works for us. I'm not so much demand-feeding as offering regularly when it suits - before a car-trip, when I sit down for a cuppa... so Ivy rarely even grumbles for a feed.
Hope you find some answers.
Today, she hasn't followed the above pattern at all however. Today she's barely eaten. She was great and relaxed at the movies, but this afternoon has been screaming inconsolably which is so unlike her. Usually when I offer boob this is enough to soothe whatever is bothering her, but this is only making her scream louder. She's now sleeping in the baby-bjorn attached to me out of sheer exhaustion. It's freaking me out. Why won't she eat? She doesn't have a temp or anything...???
SIGH. Being a Mummy is stressful sometimes.
Not what I wanted to hear.
wonder how she did that?
it continues now im trying to get the day sleeps in his cot so far so good i can't believe he's almost 3 months already how do u stop them from growing lol
). I wrap Bailey during day sleeps successfully but haven't wrapped him all night since he was about 3 weeks old so might try that, perhaps he is then less likely to smack himself in the head if he awakens and might go back into another sleep cycle. Kat the other idea re the regular feeding throughout the day might be a goer for us also.
