Cheesy vom, what a way to start the day, and so early on Bee...
I don't know scooby (see, I resisted punning on your name there!) but I'm in the same boat. DS does about four hours in the evening, then three-four at the beginning of the night, and then every couple of hours, so sympathy. He then starts to wake at half five, but I refuse to get up that early. And the lashings of irony that hawthers has a baby that sleeps beautifully, but has to be woken...
If he's gaining weight, and is somewhere on the centiles and following one, then surely they will start to relax a bit with the god-awful night feeds? Like aethel says, I'd perhaps put together a plan and go in with it, and say this is what you're going to do with the feeding....
Question to the Dec '11 club- curtains/blackouts in baby's bedroom....
I think part of the reason DS is waking so early is because we have some ancient, unlined curtains in the room, and so it's light (and the bed- but not the cot- faces the window). Personally, I like it, but can see it's not great for him.
MiL bought us some blackout curtains, as her little Prince DP always had them..but now can't sleep unless it's pitch in the bedroom.
Do you have blackouts, or thick curtains in your DCs' rooms? How do you deal with this?
AND we've got the clocks changing, gah...
Making chicken, ham and leek pie today, and a good dollop of Martini will go in the white sauce along with the pepper and bay- yum!
