Just a quick update. We are now out in Singapore - arrived on Thursday evening. He travelled really well -hardly any crying hurrah!- apart from not getting a great deal of sleep. We did of course do some APing out of necessity (e.g. having to hold him to sleep, because the seatbelt sign was on and we couldn't put him into the bassinet. No nursing to sleep though).
First night was a bit of a nightmare - he went down really easy at his usual bedtime but was then up an hour later, down, up, down, up, cry cry cry, decide it's not time to sleep but time to play gurgle gurgle hee
Finally got him to bed again at after 1am, and he was up another couple of times before waking at 6am, at which point we started the day. Naps went really well but he fell asleep in the car at 6pm on the way back from running errands, and was so tired he actually let us transfer him to his cot without waking up. But then he was up at 7.30 and we had multiple NWs again - almost as if he was on a nap schedule throughout the night.
But yesterday we were almost back to normal
He had all his naps in the car because of us being out and about, and went down for the night easily again - and really woke only to feed, and resettled very quickly
So this morning I thought we were nearly back on track!
Unfortunately he's just come down with his first illness ever
He was unusually difficult to wake this morning, and then although he fed pretty well, he was very quiet and lethargic. Then he got febrile, started coughing and proceeded to throw up twice
So I bathed him and put him to the breast again, and he suckled for a little while and then fell asleep.
So I guess all bets are out the window now while I nurse my little one back to full health!
