That would b good getting them to sleep until 6/7

Max woke up for feed at 3 which he has always done but after this feed it all goes awfully wrong

Next time will be 5 ish I think n help starts screaming gel cry, scream and whinge until 9am then it's a nightmare he won't settle no matter what
Last night I was in bath at 4 am with him
 
Def wishful thinking as feeding her now! X

Here we are I Gould set my clock by max tonight

Oh I hope he settles after this feed no screaming that would be a total dream
 
Awww pregnot, hope he settles.
Hannah was clingy last night with me and same tonight. Worst evening we've had. Boob didn't seem to satisfy her, first time I've felt like I didn't have enough milk, prob because supply has settled. Eventually got sleepy but wouldn't sleep in basket. I knew she needed cuddles so tbh barely tried basket, coslept and she fell asleep straight away at 12 (usual time). Then stirred at 3am but straight back to sleep. Now feeding, will reswaddle and try basket I think. I had loads of milk in now so hopefully she'll be really sleepy again. Fx!

Hope you all get a good rest of the night xx
 
Oh dear Pregnot hope he settles ;-(

I hate the feeling of not having enough milk.. You probably did though, it's just an easy assumption to make when they're fussing and don't seem satisfied.

Well Max went to sleep at 9 and woke 5:30, which is excellent! My trouble is I wake at 5 and wait for him to wake up and also struggle to go back to sleep again after as I know I don't have long! So annoying! So even though he sleeps well I am still shattered all day! Xxx
 
Your nights don't sound great ladies. Im just up now for feed. J went 9.15-6 x

Claire, pippa and Sara that's great!
Sounds like your having a tough time pregnot :-(
LO seems to be waking earlier and earlier. Up at 5 for feed 2...third night in a row where she's wanted 2 feeds in the night :-(

Oh Hun hopefully it's just a blip, lo did that to me the other night and went from waking once to twice, hoping that's passed tho! Apparently every time they make a big development their sleep pattern takes a step back xxx
 
Well she slept in her basket after her feed at 5am, but noisily!

I'm glad you had a good night Kelly. They keep changing don't they spin? X
 
Its very odd when sometimes they wake twice and sometimes once and we dont do anything differently?

Well he did 7.45-4, then 5-8.30, quite good really. Took ages ro resettle at 4, I was contemplating bringing him into our bed. But I said when he turned 3 months I wasn't doing that anymore, so I stuck to my guns.

Put the hot water bottle in his crib with my pj top, rocked him to sleep with his dummy, and mobile on. And put him back in. He grizzled for a bit but finally went off x

It's so weird isn't it? It's really only been about a week where Max has just been waking up once, and I'm always on tenterhooks everytime he wakes when I check the time, as anything before 4 as that means 2 wake ups! I'll be happy if this continues but I'm not going to assume it will! Xxx
 
im finding if i make sure poppy sleeps from after teatime til about 9/10 she will sleep thru til 5am most of the time. bonus of combi feeding is i can get dh to give her a bottle last thing at night of expressed milk or formula and leave her with him, then he brings her to bed when she falls asleep after the last feed and i feed again whenever she wakes. when she woke at 5am this morning she didnt even want a proper feed, she snacked then fell asleep and i woke her after id pumped what was left on that side and gave ehr some of the other side then pumpedthe rest off that, got me 2 oz for later lol. really cant pump anything much at the min, either poppys drinking it all or im stuck holding her after feeding so cant pump and when i put her down she wakes and wants boob again to help her sleep lol
 
U oh! Dreading tonight! She only ate 1.5oz at 9 and went straight to sleep :(!!!
 
We are having an awful night already!!

H took 6oz of formula at 8pm (already 30 minutes passed his bed time because we had to pop out) and then was still rooting around which i thought was really odd as he normally has 4 or 5oz and is zonked. So I went to pop him on the boob to top him off and... Projectile vomit like I've never seen. Must have been the whole bottle and more. I was soaked. He was soaked. The sofa was soaked.

He was completely hysterical aswell. Had to strip him & myself off and wash us both off.

Then because he had thrown up everythinggg, he was still hungry!

So he's now had 5oz of breast milk, and has finally fallen asleep on me 2 hours passed his bedtime.

Not looking forward to tonight :(
