Last night was fine til 4:30am when both were unsettled on and off until 6:45 when I got them up. They were both in separate rooms, with DD in the loft and DS2 in their normal room, but both woke up within seconds of each other...
Forgot to say, one of the things the night nanny did was to put the babies on Aptamil no 2 (the hungry baby one) just for their final feed at 6/6:30pm. I have never entertained the idea of giving them that as have heard it is just harder to digest thus making them feel fuller for longer, but it does seem to have helped as generally speaking they do make it through til 6:30am or later without feeding, and DS2 never had any sleep training, but until he changed milk he used to feed by 5am half the time.
Of course it might be just that they are eating more solids too.
So I have a weaning question. How much protein are you putting in (say chicken for example), and how much on average do your babies eat? Easier to gauge it if you are giving pots / jars I know, but am curious. Mine usually have up to a whole sachet or pot (120ml) with some minced up chicken and sometimes some baby porridge mixed in. I am nervous of putting too much chicken etc in, but then not sure they are even getting enough (using veg & fruit only pots so no protein already).
Beany are you fully recovered from tonsilitis? I don't think I have ever had it, maybe once. I tend to just get colds when I get run down (ie I had one after the other when the babies were smaller due to no sleep).
DS2 seems to have developed a "bad" habit in the last two days. Every time I put him for a nap he cries hysterically, really hysterically, as though he has lost a limb, when he has always been great at going for naps since he was about 2 months old. He screamed for 20 mins earlier, and I thought he was just overtired after not sleeping well for last couple of hours of night, but he was the same for lunchtime nap and he had only been up 2 hours, and had slept for 1hr 20 earlier. Please tell me it is a phase.......
So the weather is predicted WET for Thursday in Winchester. Whoopeeeee. My only concern for having everyone here is that my carpet is so vile I am worried about your poor babies lying on it! Maybe we can spread the picnic rugs out!
Wonder if DS1 would like Nat History Museum. Think he is probably still a bit young. He does like dinosaurs though and has recently learned to say Pterodactyl [proud].
Sorry, waffling on and still haven't checked to see how everyone else has been doing . I will look now. DH and DS1 are on their way back. DS1 was sick in car on way there, so I am fully expecting a vomit soaked boy to arrive in the next hour or so. Anyone know any cures for car sickness?
