Sleep

[Layla]

hi again

I went to a gig on sunday night so i left Coby with my friend over night.

When i picked him up the next day she told me that he slept from 12 midnight till 7am!

he hasnt done that for me yet, still wakes up once a night for a feed.

when did your babies start sleeping through?

HOW MANY HRS SLEEP WOULD U SAY IS SLEEPING THROUGH?

dior was about 8weeks when she was going 1am - 7am

then at 12weeks it was 10pm - 8am

now my lil angel sleeps 6.30pm - 7.30am

Ella sleeps from around 11pm til 6am. Last night it was 10.30 til nearly 6.30. She normally has a feed then goes back to sleep for a bit which is nice for mummy

She was sleeping 9 hours on the trot but then since last Tuesday and her growth spurt day it's been harder to get her back into sleeping. But for the past few nights its been like above.

This sleeping pattern started when she was about 6 weeks old.

Phoebe goes to bed at 7pm and wakes up at about 6.30am.
She's been sleeping for about 11hours at night since she was 6weeks old.
Still in our room though. Want to put her in the nursery soon so we shall see if her excellent sleeping routine continues!!

I have put him up on 6oz today, hes been draining all his 5oz bottles, so im hoping the extra milk will make him sleep longer in the nights.

Well consider yourselves lucky ladies, my little Becky is waking up every hour for a 5oz feed. expressing breast milk for during the day, and she is on aptimal during the night as formula apparentley fills them up more. It hasn't worked for us yet, OH has went back to work after paternity leave,and moved into the single room. I'm exhausted, can't cope with it! Hence the reason not logged on for a while.

Thomas wakes up at least twice a night but just for feeding and then back to sleep so not too bad!!

Aptamil is a brilliant formula but it's a very thin milk which is prob why she still wakes at night so much. I changed Damien off it to SMA Gold and he sleep better.

Chin up sweetie it does get easier xxx

Damien is up twice a night still need sleeeeep!!!!!!!!!

well that didnt work! altho he drains his 5oz bottles, hes not ready for 6oz ones, he was sick everywhere!

This happened to me Layla!!

So I tried giving Phoebe her first and last bottle at 6oz and the rest at 5oz but that didn't really work.
So I tried 160ml and it worked fine. She stayed on that for ages and it was only last week that I put her up to 6oz.
Phoebe won't drink it all though. She just has as much as she wants. Does Coby drink it all and then be sick or will he leave milk if he is full?

 

[Layla]

he drinks all the 5oz bottles, he has 6 a day.

he isnt sick after any of them and doesnt seem to want more but coz hes drained them i thought best try him on 6oz.

he drank all 6oz but then was sick 10 mins after.

think his eyes are bigger than his belly lol

im putting him back down to 5oz, altho he was draining them all he seemed happy after. im sure he will let me know when they are not enough for him

 

[BubbleOne]

He definately will let you know when he wants more!!! lol.

I guess like us it takes a while for their milk to reach their bellies so they think they are still hungry!!

Seren would sleep from 1am to seven at 3 weeks though does have the odd night when she is waking more often. Now it tends to be asleep for 9.30pm, either I'll wake her for a feed at 12 and she will wake up at 6.30am or she'll sleep till 3am and then I'll feed her, and she'll awake again at 6am.
