Is this normal?
« on: May 10, 2016, 13:55:58 pm »
We are about a week into BLW and DS2 is thoroughly enjoying it. And, judging by his nappies, taking in a fair bit.

We've struggled to make it past 3 hours between feeds up until now; some stretched out but then we got more night feeds, so I've been trying to stick to 3 hourly. That got us down to two night feeds. Oh, and offering both sides - too much for him before, seems manageable now.

Since we started weaning he seems to be able to go 4 hours suddenly, is this normal? We've had a couple of nights of one night feed, too.

The other impact is that AF has returned, boo. Normal?

Sounds like it's normal for you! Everyone has different experiences I think.

Similar happened with DS - he really needed those solids!

Good to know. I can't fathom why my smaller (50-75th centile) baby needs feeding more than my bigger (75th-91st centile) baby did. Different metabolisms or something?
