Afternoon everyone!
I hope you all had half decent nights.
Zack did really well last night. He was put in his moses basket for the first part of the night, so 11.30 - 2.50. He was asleep again for 3.30 and next woke at 6.30 for a nappy change/feed and then we woke at 9.15 . This is where I love homeschooling, no mad rush in the mornings!
Love the new names Daisy! If anyone can think of a Chrismtasy name for me, I have barely got 2 braincells to rub together right now, lol!
Re dummies: There are times I wish Z would take one, like when I want to eat my tea while it's hot without giving myself heartburn from wolfing it down. Z acts like you are trying to murder him when I put a dummy anywhere near his mouth, complete with hysterical screaming, back arching and breath holding. Methinks the boy does not like dummies . Ds2 never took to a dummy either but had sensory issues, but ds1 loved his dummies and in hindsight, we used it as a method to shut him up . I was young and completely inexperienced. He had a dummy until he was 3.5 and loved them so much that he went to bed with about 4 incase he lost them and used to have one in his mouth and one in each had, one of which had to be rubbed across his nose when he was tired . We finally got him to donate his dummies to the baby reindeers. ON Xmas eve he left his dummies and a not to father christmas telling him that he was now a big boy and that the baby reideers needed the dumies more than he did and in return father christmas gave him a shiney blue bike! It worked really well, he didn't even ask for a dummy on xmas night.
The HV came around today to weigh Zack. He is 4 weeks old tomorrow (where is the time going?), was born at 8lb 11oz, went down to 8lb 8oz and is now a stagering 11lb 6.5oz . I hope he doesn't continue to put on nearly 3lb every 4 weeks or he will soon outweigh ds2! It's no wonder he has outgrown all his newborn stuff and has already filled out his 0-3.
