Well we survived a night without both kids,had to express when we got home as i was bursting and leaking! Same again when i woke at 9.30 so expressed both again! Couldnt sleep any longer and we had the lights off last night which was weird as Ive got used to having a light on in bathroom to see him.

We will collect kids soon and hear about what happened during the night.....

Ahh Me too! Although MIL came and sat at our house so we got home around 1am and saw her. My boobs were busting too though! We only left her between 9pm and 1am lol.

She was an angel for MIL too. I put her to bed at 7pm and she slept till Mil woke her at 10.30pm for an ebm feed. Then slept until about 3.30am till she woke for a booby feed. lol

I have a perfect little baby (fingers crosse all hell doesnt break lose today now lol)

Hey,

No I don't express.

He has a bottle at his 10am feed, usually one at around 4pm and one in the evening. But they don't fully satisfy him and he wont normally drain the bottle either - he will only take 4.5oz at most.

He feeds for such long periods on the boob, his morning feed is an hour. Lunchtime he will feed for around an hour to hour and a half, and breastfeeds all evening. But he will still want topping up with breastmilk after his bottles - he is never satisfied on them and its as if he wont take the whole bottle so that he can have some breastmik afterwards - which is normally about a 15 minute feed.

And we have been back on our 4am feeds for the last 5 nights now :dohh:

Well he was great for my sister fed 6pm, 9.30 and in bed at 10pm, she dream fed him at 12 and then he woke at 4am and was fed and went backto sleep till 7.15, fed again at 8 am and 12 noon and then we collected him. He slept from 9.30 to 12 noon and for half an hour in my MIL house this afternoon and very briefly on way home. I fed him on Boob at 3.15 and 6.45 pm gave him a bath (he piddled in it, made new one and he piddled in it too!) and I have him asleep now in craddle at 8.30.

Using the babywhisperer method at the moment and its working really well for us so far. Going to add in another formula feed starting from 12 weeks, not sure which feed, maybe the second one in the morning, see how it goes, dont want to do the formula and weaning at the same time.

Hope all get some sleep tonight.

I've got my contraceptive implant tomorrow so my excuse for not doing it is going to run out!
 
LOL and congrats emma on DTD!!
I dream fed Thomas at 10.15 and 12 midnight and he slept till 3.45 but when OH fed him (only 3oz!!) he couldnt get him to settle and was up with him till 5.45 when he did settle then woke at 7 am, he didnt feed too well for me and so when I got him asleep at 8.30 he only slept for 40 mins, had a better feed at 9.30 and fell asleep at 10.10 and slept for an hour. Changed and dressed him and OH took him down stairs and I got dressed and did some housework upstairs, came down at 12.45 expecting to feed him and OH had him just asleep in the rocker!!! So he will hopefully sleep a while (this is in line with the 4 hour EASY routine from the baby whisperer)! His feed not quite in line but nevertheless I am persevering with it..
