Mummy night off

22 September 2018 : 5 weeks (1 month)

My night off waze for test dick.

Let’s try that dictation again. “My night off was fantastic.”

My accent must be off because iPhone dictation is not recognising my dictation. Anyway, husband and I are each getting one night off per week. For my night off, I slept from 10:30pm until 3:15am and I actually had dreams that were not nightmares.

Lochie slept from 9pm until 3am with midnight feed. This is good news as it looks like the bath routine is working and setting him up for a solid 7-hour stretch with some top-ups. We just need to move the bath routine to little bit later in the night. We are back on the boob although I do not have sufficient supply to satisfy his hunger. I truly wish I did. He just screams as if he is not getting enough.

As Lochie get bigger, his body handles reflux and gas better. That’s the theory. I feel like we are trying to grow his as fast as possible, to feed him as much as he will eat, so that his body can overcome the difficulties of reflux and gas. They say you can’t overfeed a baby, not before solids. Maybe you can’t overfeed a baby on breastmilk, but Lochie is having formula as well. His growth trajectory is steep.
