I didn't realise how regimented we were

Rofl laughing at 'beastfeed' I'm not sure if it was a typo or not.

typo yes- bleedina ccurate- Ooooh yes! LOL

Freudian slip of the fingers I reckon

Peachy, my ds is doing the frequent waking thing too . Last night I decided not to feed him any more than every 3 hours so when he woke between feeds I left him. Shock- he didn't cry, just grumbled and sighed then went back to sleep. Ok, I still got woken up but didn't have to get out of bed and it was only for a coupl eof minutes pshock] I might go for 4 hours tonight
Just realised OP said 5 motnhs and my ds is 7 months- does that still count?

Mine screetched until he fed. But- this is the gitty bit- the feeds I could cope with but he won't sleep atm unless latched on after 2am. We've tried a bottle but won't take the teat in his mout, not a dummy.

DS4 is 6 months next week- so only just in the space of 5 months I guess

Play/ watch ds (4 1/2) run around naked whilst we chase him round trying to get him dressed.
8.10 - walk to school
9am - nap
10.30 - milk
11am - Play (mat, door bouncer, rolling around on floor)
12 - nap
1.30/ 2 ish Wake up and milk

3.30 - watch ds remove school clothes and run round house again.
5 ish Milk and watch family eat their tea
6.30 - bath
7pm milk and bed.Sleeping through the night most nights

Oh Peachy, doesn't sound good. I'm still exc bfing ds but he will take a bottle if necessary. Dd never would though so I feel your pain!
My ds sucks his thumb at night, would yours do this instead of latching on?

I actually can't do ours as it's so random.

Come on - more please! {grin]

Oh dear its very haphazard. Lots and lots of feeding as always hungry and very little sleep at all in the day even when out and about. Who said 3rd babies were supposed to be easy?
