An extra hour!
I know its not much but Bren slept for an extra hour inbetween feeds last night and just that little bit more sleep has made me feels loads better! 
He has been doing anything from 2.5 to 3 hours during the night and managed to go from 2am to 6am! Even better my hubby woke up (for once) and when I came back with the bottle he offered to feed him so I got chance to wash the nights bottles and make us both a cuppa in bed!
Had a bit of a day from hell with Bren yesterday so I think he is making up for it! I am pretty sure it was because he was constipated so I put some malt extract into his bottles (as recommmended by my HV) and he has done two bug poos this morning and seems much happier for it!!
Hope everyone else had a good night x

This bad day wouldn't be happening if it wasn't a leap year! I blame that!
Hope your day gets better! x
School run was a nightmare too - 2 lorries on motorway had a bit of road rage and were blocking both lanes doing 55 mph! Then a (silly) woman just sat at the lights the whole while they were on green!!! My horn's never had so much use - shame it sounds like road runner and not a wild savaging beast!
Things can only get better according to D:ream (oh how sad!).
Hope your day's better than yesterday!
Well done Brendan... even an extra hour makes so much difference doesn't it?.... For the past week Bryn has been sleeping for about 5 hours more or less at night but on wednesday night he went from 11 - 6:45 - I couldn't believe it - last night he was back to 5 hours again but at least I know he can do it!! Ophelia didn't sleep that long until she was nearly 2 - Bryn obviously takes after his daddy - far more laid back than me or his sister.
Hope you both have a lovely relaxing weekend
Em x
I'm impressed.. Cole fell back asleep for 45 mins or so after his morning bf so I got a lie in too!!
Amy has dropped her 10.30pm feed for the last 4 nights, so has been sleeping from 7.30pm to 6.30am - I don't know what to do with myself!
I'm still managing to wake up at 4.30 every morning just to check she's ok though!
Em - the faffy milk has been knocked on the head - we have a new one to try! It isn't as easy as wapping the old boob out lol but boob juice actually made her worse with colic and reflux! Strange but true. Will try the enfamil tomorrow to see if that stays down. I have more milk in my house than a milking parlour!
I've put Philip down at 8.30 tonight instead of 9.30 as he;s been horrible the last few nights at around 8 and wants a kip so thought bring bedtime forward, hopefully he'll go till 6am tomorrow but as it's saturday and no school run to do if he does wake several times in the night i've not got to be organised in the morning!!
Good luck with the new milk alioli, agree about boob juice making colic worse, seems to be a lot better now he's on bottles, although somtimes he pigs it down in a great rush then spends a good hour screaming cos his belly hurts, even though there;s no wind to come up, typical man - no patience!!
Fingers crossed for you
Did nearly slap my oh last night though when I woke him to do the 6am feed (I had done the 2am one!) and he got the bottle and then said 'you seem much more awake then me don't you want to do it?'!!! I won't repeat what I said to him but it wasn't very polite! x
Obi - how are you getting on with the earlier bedtime? Cole has been fighting sleep int he daytime and getting grizzly earlier so we've been starting to move bathtime earlier this weekend. Last night wasn't so good cause he woke up and needed burping and changing, but he slept till 7, tonight he was asleep by 9 ...but he's not napped well today so hopefully he'll sleep till 7!
Hope all the other babies are fit, happy and sleeping well. x
Sun & tonight he's bought his horrible time forward to 7pm, he's currently asleep in my arms!! will wake him at 8 so oh can play for half hour while his bottle ferments (colief drops!)
Em - that bug is the pits, our neighbours 1yr old had it last week and he went through clothes like no-body's business. Hope Bryn is better soon
We brought Cole's bathtime forwards to 7.30 last night, and he was in bed by 8.30. He had a grizzle after about 15 minutes but settled down after a burp. He woke up this morning about 7.20!!!
He's actually even been better today and has napped a couple of times for about 20 minutes each time, then slept for a good couple of hours while I was out - so hopefully he'll be less grizzly
Well done Cole!
Def growth spurt Philip! God, I sound like a bloody HV!!!!
