Well, last night was interesting.
DS2 ate a rather large amount of Ready Brek and pureed pear just before bed last night. Most I've ever seen him eat, plus he gnawed a piece of toast so some of that may have gone down. Fell asleep in his cot in his usual lah-di-dah 'why, yes, I can self-settle, mother' fashion. Awake an hour later needing cuddles to go back to sleep. Awake three hours later and...fell asleep as soon as I took him into bed with me without boob!
Huzzah! Thought I. Weaning will make a difference!
Then he puked. And shat. And puked some more, and shat again for good measure.
Interestingly, he didn't want any feeding at all last night, much to the dismay of my boobs. He cuddled back to sleep every time and/or wanted one of my fingers to suck on (he's long since fallen out with the dummy). I did find this slightly encouraging as, when DS1 had vomiting bugs at the same age, he would only feed back to sleep, so stomach bug nights were an endless cycle of feeding and spew, usually in my hair.
I'll see how well he keeps milk down today then try stuffing him with some rice pudding tonight before bed. I've just expressed 10oz off my groaning boobs in about 5 minutes so maybe I could make the pudding with that to keep it baby-gut-friendly.
Hear Has the cough fecked off yet?
timeforsleep How goes the sleep plan?
scotty Maybe you could start trying to extend time between night feeds to three hours instead of two? Although I'll totally understand if you CBA until you've got someone that you've paid telling you what to do. Ann's very pro-BF, though, so she probably wouldn't advise anything too daft.
