But aren't t...Isn't time flying by so fast? But aren't they getting more and more amazing by the day too?<br /><br />Sorry you've all been under the weather, hope everyone is feeling better by now (I am way behind on blogs, sorry!)<br /><br />I can't believe how big Caleb has got, he's almost as big as Oscar and Oscar is as big if not bigger than my friends' babies who are a few months older than him (and is currently wearing some 6-9 month clothes as he is so darn long!) so to say Caleb was much smaller at birth he has done some amazing growing, and all on mummy milk!<br /><br />You should be so proud of being able to exclusively feed them this long! I had to start switching around 6 weeks and by 12 weeks Oscar was on formula with just one comfort feed a day (which we continue) as my body just couldn't get a grip on the oversupply. So you have done amazing to produce enough for the two of them and keep going :) <br /><br />As for bedtime, well Oscar never goes to sleep before 11pm and usually not before midnight and then will rouse about 4am and sometimes needs a top up before going another 1-3 hours. I know so many women whose babies sleep a solid 7-12 hours at night but we're just not there yet and that's ok (apart from making us extra tired) because I remember those first weeks when he wouldn't sleep at all between 11pm and 4am so I'm not complaining! I honestly think some babies just aren't ready to sleep through at this age and so it doesn't matter what you do, they will still stay awake.<br /><br />What we have found helps to get him to sleep once he is ready though is playing white noise (I downloaded a free app for my phone which I lay in the cot near him until he is asleep). It stops him grizzling enough to actually drift off to sleep. But it only works when he's ready, it won't send him to sleep if we put him to bed any earlier!Amandahttp://amandaclairedesigns.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371634004403238318.post-31272390184289374722012-01-19T08:29:09.816-07:002012-01-19T08:29:09.816-07:00What a couple of cutie pies you have there!What a couple of cutie pies you have there!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05896010219423867907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371634004403238318.post-10868933782519642742012-01-15T14:10:38.845-07:002012-01-15T14:10:38.845-07:00Spit up and sore eye they are so cute!Spit up and sore eye they are so cute!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316511791499949824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371634004403238318.post-66569616506847839002012-01-15T01:19:48.226-07:002012-01-15T01:19:48.226-07:00I think you are doing great!
