how stupid that is? I mean,I'm making the effort of not eating chocolate but I forget to write what I/we do eat?!
A terrible night for us last night, she just wanted to suck all night. She's wanted to nurse a lot today too. Who knows why
She's refusing her afternoon nap right now so I'm thinking I'll just try to keep her up and maybe try to put her to bed early. What do you do if your LO won't nap at their usual time? Do you just skip the nap or do you let them take their nap later and then have a later bed time? Our 'routine' is always getting messed up because LO won't nap at the same time 2 days in a row.
I restrained myself from actually saying anything sarcastic or unhelpful, which I think deserves a medal

for the bad night. Is it possible that she may be trying to drop down to one nap (or has that already happened)?
OH and I went to bed at 10:30 and Dom wanted feeding at 00:30. Then he didn't wake till 3:50 when I fed him again. And then he was asleep till 7:15! Seb woke at 6:15 and twice till 7:15 but I count this as really good as they usually wake every hour or more after 4. Now if ONLY I could have gone back to sleep after the midnight feed I might have had some decent sleep. Sadly it was after 2 when I finally dropped off. How perverse is that?!
Hmmm, interesting night. It's 1.40, I went to bed at 10 but I've only managed a few mins sleep as Lily just wants to keep nursing every 20 mins or so, I've tried refusing her, she'll get a but upset, but she is going back to sleep but only for a few mins. I feel bad refusing her, but it's getting too much and at times I just need her off me!
She went to sleep without a fuss to start with though

LO has been the same the past few nights. Our LOs are about the same age. Do you think there could be some kind of growth spurt? She's also been nursing a lot during the day, yesterday before bed it reminded me of the cluster feeding from when she was a newborn. After a while she started biting me though so I stopped her nursing, she had a complete meltdown then nursed a bit more and fell off to sleep really easily. We had a slightly better night after that but she still had several wake ups where she fed quite a lot. I'm still at a complete loss when it comes to explaining her sleep patterns and the constant night feedings. I come up with a million reasons every day to explain it. She's definitely not waking out of habit, it's too random to be a habit. My instincts tell me though that if she wants to nurse then I should let her nurse. There could be some hidden reason for the comfort sucking. Maybe she's fighting a bug or something that has no symptoms, maybe she's going through some big developmental leap, maybe she is just really hungry.
but yes it is just like a newborn cluster feeding! I too tried not giving lily boob at times last night as it was just getting too much, I was only able to hold her off for a few mins though.
We don't change nappies until morning unless they pooed of course which is usually obvious just from the smell! But also, they are wearing woombies which can be unzipped from the bottom up in case we do need to change them. I think it helps if they don't get too cool as that really does wake them all the way. Also, we use a nappy size up for nights. We still get the odd explosion or leak by morning but it never is at midnight and only ever towards morning. And maybe it was that Little Angels nappies weren't good enough so at the moment we are trying Pampers active fit and so far so good but I am not convinced that this solves the problem.
As for feeds, lately we are keeping the boys in the cots while feeding them. For one cot this means kneeling on the nursery bed and hanging over the railings but for Seb it means bending over while standing and my back doesn't like it much lol. But I think they drop off faster and deeper if we don't lift them out. But of course if you BF then that won't work. Good luck!
