Hello all.
Finally got my hair cut today and feel loads better for it. I was really looking like a fright before. Rory was an angel, awake the whole time,but a complete flirt, smiling at all the girls - I didn't need to look after him at all!
He's also sleeping so much better. He's been so windy and up so many times every night that I have finally succumbed to formula feeding - I still bf a bit, but mostly bottle now and the last two nights he has only woken up once . I feel bad as I had intended to bf for at least 6 months, but he was so hungry all the time, and the bottle seems to have done the trick. A week ago he was up every 1 1/2 to 2 hours in the night and last night he went down at 7.30, woke for a feed at 2.30 them slept til 7. I can't believe it! He is so adorable at the moment. It seems as though sticking to a sort of flexible routine is doing the trick (if that makes sense).
Up and feeding at 7, nap during school run. Feed 10 - 10.30, longer nap (about 1 1/2 hours), feed again 1.30ish. Short nap. A smaller feed at 4.30ish. short nap. Feed again 7 ish. bed at 8. All very flexible.
He's 10 weeks tomorrow and no giggles or laughs yet, although plenty of smiles. Can't wait for the first laugh.
Disney - thinking of you as always. Big hugs.
isaidno - hope you both feel better soon.
