Nelly - I dreamfeed if Ethan gets sleepy around 7-8pm... I'll dreamfeed him around 10-11pm but if he doesnt get sleepy till 9-10 then I dont worry about it. All depends on his day sleeps and what time he wakes in the morning, but I have him in the habit now that swaddling means night sleep, so I can swaddle him anytime from 7pm and he'll go to sleep and he'll sleep anywhere I put him and stay asleep if I move him. Like he normally starts off in the hammock in the lounge room then I move him to the basinette in our room when we go to bed, even if he starts to wake up as soon as he's put into the basinette he goes back to sleep no hassles. It's also great if we're out for dinner or something, coz if he's swaddled and put in the pram he'll stay asleep when we move him to the car and then to bed so we still have some sort of a life! lol. I just found that worked for him, you could always try it out and see how bub goes, but all babies like different things.
And I still havent bought a breastpump yet, so it's all boob for my boy.... made it a bit hard when I was sick last week and my milk reduced, but it's back up again now after eating heaps of veggies and drinking bucket loads of water.... lol I do want to get a pump though, just so he doesnt think I'm the only one who can feed/comfort him, he's been getting a bit clingy. He cries when other ppl hold him, though today he sat with my girlfriend for an hour quite happily!
TMTM - Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww That is what makes it all worthwhile, so precious! Makes you feel appreciated!!
Ethan started crying when I left the room, but he's not as bad now. i think he's worked out that if I go I always come back! hehe
