Hi there..
Last night we had quite a good night. We tried some new things, just wondering what you all think?
The other night we had a terrible night....i think it could be due to
1. smelling milk on me so not settling with me.
2. My friends had been round, so she was cuddled for a few hours, maybe over stimulated?
3. She was sick after feeds, MW said she had probably been too greedy and he tummy was hurting???
SOOOOO.......
last night Charlotte started rooting spot on time at 7pm, so i fed her for 25 mins, then she was ready for more at about 10 to 8, so itried to distract her, OH took over soothing her, so she didnt smell milk. Put her off til 9.30, when she only took a little, then again at 10.30 she wanted more, and OH managed to put her off til 11.30 when she had a good feed for about 30 mins.
After this feed OH went to bed and i soothed her and finally got her settled at about 01.00, she slept til 6, had a feed then slept until 8.30!!
Im sure that many of you wont agree with not feeding her on demand, but if she was making herself sick and this worked do you think its worth trying it again??
I hope you all dont think im horrid! I have woke up feeling much better than yesterday, when i really felt very down.
any comments????????
