Hello, back from baby massage. dd was weighed and has gained 7oz, weighing in at a respectable 13lb! Thanks for all your replies.
tiktok- I actually don't want to give her solids yet, I was just checking Having got this far I am determined to wait until 26 weeks if I can. I think I am wondering more if I can decrease the amount of feeds. I know this sounds backwards, but when I was feeding 3-4 hourly she slept through, now I feed 2hrly, or more often if she demands it, she doesn't!
JuliaAndJohn- I hope my experiences are the same and dd sleeps better the older she gets! It's more difficult for me because ds slept through from 8 weeks old, but then he was bottle fed, maybe that had something to do with it?
chocolateshoes- have to admit I do pick dd up much sooner than I would if she was my only one IYSWIM. Ds has become a terrible sleeper lately, sometimes lying awake and talking to himself in the middle of the night for up to 4 hrs. She doesn't have water, as was told don't need to with breast fed babies, though maybe I could try? She was definitely hungry last night at midnight, and had a long feed. Maybe she's getting into the routine of having it though, rather than needing it- expecting it?
sharklet- we do use a grobag every night without fail, as we found she woke up when she kicked off the covers, and she has slept much better since we got it- started sleeping through in fact (Ah the good old days! )As for other reasons, I think she quite often wakes with wind, but I am afraid to say I have got into the habit of feeding her back to sleep, as its quickest - I know, rod for own back etc.
Guess I'll just have to see how it goes!
Wow, huge post!
