My breast fed little man (now 4mo4d) has settled himself pretty well into this routine
6am mumma gets me out of bed, i may have been chatting to myself for a bit
feed somewhere between 6 and 7 (as I am becoming really nosy and easily distracted) - mumma keep offering until i take some, sometimes i have to walk and feed if mumma doesn't catch me still a little sleepy
7 - 7.15 sleep for about 1 1/2 - 2 hr (mumma leaves me in my cot as most of the time I resettle after the 45min, or don't even wake up - sometimes)
9 mumma gets me up
somewhere between 9-10.15 mumma tries to feed me again, usually she catches me before I wake up properly)
10-10.15 mumma puts me back to sleep (always between first and second yawns so I can put myself to sleep)
12 - up again (try to feed)
1 - 3pm sleep though normally up by 2 or so
cluster feed throughout afternoon with a short nap at around 4pm
bath at 6, cuddles and final nurse at around 6.15 usually asleep by 6.30
mumma will give me a DF before she goes to bed, anytime from 9-10.30 depending on how many jobs she has left to do....
at 1am I might start grizzling so mumma dummies me and I sleep until 3ish when I'm starving and then i might sleep til 6ish, though around 5ish I may wake up to talk to myself.
Now I should point out that I am quite happy with this routine, as I look after other kids in my home and they arrive at 7.30, so I can get DS organised and ready before they arrive, also his bedtime enables us parents to have some together time (if my husband is home from work by then). But out of interest, I'm wondering if I have to do something about the DF or the 3am feed. Also should mention this last fortnight Steve has become troublesome with feeding, including one day where he fed every 3hrs the night before, fed at 7.30am and 6pm the next day(absolutely REFUSED to eat all day though slept normally), and slept 12hours straight that night (mummy did try to feed me at 3am even woke Steve up but wouldn't have anything to eat). since then if I don't catch Steve stilll a little sleepy for a feed, he can be quite distractable when I feed him, and won't feed well - long. He's been sleeping great during the day I feel, putting himself to sleep and settlign at the 45min. What would you suggest?
Mind you, we're getting needles tomorrow so that will no doubt throw a spanner in the works!!
Hope your day is going great, and things are good wherever you are.
Thanks,
