We fed at 7, 8, 9, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 1:30, 4:30, 5:15 and now in in a foul mood because in tired. That cluster feeding should have got me a four hour stretch easily! Ds seems to be wide awake now too. Wtf I'm typing on iPhone and the writing keeps disappearing Confused

HoneyMumandSon · 15/12/2012 05:37

Ugh, another baby in a strange mood here. Currently dosing while feeding.

SpottyTeacakes · 15/12/2012 05:52

Feeding again now…

We had some projectile vomiting action from C after her 3:30 feed. Seemed okay after it & not hungry. Up again now though & feeding again. Tired. Welcome to all latest arrivals!

FriendofDorothy · 15/12/2012 06:41

One of the ward carets came in and took him for an hour. She must have brought him back when I was soundo. I think I love her though!

Hi well i have not managed to get on here much since haing dd2 but dont know why considering she keeps us up most of the night. We are both doing fine and really hope everyone else is too with there little bundles

PurplePidjChickIsNotTheMessiah · 15/12/2012 07:35

Hurrah, a night of 3 hour sleeps! And very full boobs, so i think all the cluster feeding had paid off - feed length is going down fractionally, too. Hang in there!! Xmas Grin

RarelyUnreasonable · 15/12/2012 07:45

Two sleepless nights in a row . He has a cold so I assume that's why. Bad mood here!

Bellaboo123 · 15/12/2012 08:14

spotty if it makes you feel any better we're mirroring your feeds...
Confused

SpottyTeacakes · 15/12/2012 08:30

It does make me feel a bit better, yes Wink I can cope with the evening cluster feeds but in the morning too?!

Bellaboo123 · 15/12/2012 08:37

I know what you mean- by cluster feeding all evening you'd think you'd have got away without needing to do it in the morning. I'm feeding A again now and then she'll sleep until 1130 ish why doesn't that work at night lol - where's the reprogramme button!

SpottyTeacakes · 15/12/2012 09:04

Felix feeds three hourly perfectly in the day! Oh well hopefully they will settle down in a few weeks Confused need to take dd to get her feet measured now Sad

HoneyMumandSon · 15/12/2012 11:27

My little darling (note the sarcasm) has decided he's going to feed for 5 mins every hour and a half today. Fun times. Confused

EggNogMichelle · 15/12/2012 11:37

Honey we were doing 10mins each hour, so expressed and fed him 30ml thinking that would stop the silliness, but nope, he is hungry again after 40mins, little monster!

SpottyTeacakes · 15/12/2012 11:39

I just spilt my Pepsi max all down my front and some of it splashed on ds's face Confused he didn't seem to mind Grin

HoneyMumandSon · 15/12/2012 11:44

I was trying to work out if I could express and do similar - at least once DH is home- but Dash also won't be put down for more than inure without shrieking so can't even express. Trying to work out if he's having a growth spurt, feeling a bit ill or being a little bugger for the hell of it. I'm so tired.

SpottyTeacakes · 15/12/2012 11:49

That doesn't sound fun Honey Sad hope it's just a bad day and tomorrow will be better

HoneyMumandSon · 15/12/2012 11:57

Thanks spotty am reminding myself how much this baby was wanted and wished for. Tough day and its only midday

PurplePidjChickIsNotTheMessiah · 15/12/2012 12:01

Growth spurt, Honey, he'll settle in a day or so max.

You can do this Brew

HoneyMumandSon · 15/12/2012 12:04

Thanks pidj :)

Secondsop · 15/12/2012 12:07

Is anyone else having very little joy expressing? I have the pump on for an hour and get about 5ml.

HoneyMumandSon · 15/12/2012 12:10

What kind of pump have you got seconds?

SpottyTeacakes · 15/12/2012 12:15

I'm getting really pissed off trying to get ds to latch he just turns his head or doesn't open his mouth. Dp has really annoyed me by asking when I'm going to start a routine argh
