another sleep update

Well, sleep for owl is a lot better - he goes in cot now, and evenings are now great, and we get most of the night at least- but we haven't had a magic fix. Continuing problems:

1. daytime sleeps - if I don't time this right, owl screams for the whole hour before as per instructions I pick him up. A bit trial and error - it seems that the very alert owl needs to be up for at least 4 hours before he can be counted on to sleep in the day. still testing this...

2. breastfeed number and sleep at night. It looks like 6 feeds at the moment means good night sleep, but 5 feeds means not making it all the way through. Problem is, that 5 feeds during the day suits him and us better - otherwise he has to be fed when not hungry, and he vomits some up, and hard to time this around sleeps, and hard to time with brother's nap and going out. Also seems to eat solids better on 5 feeds.

3. Even on 6 feeds 5:00am is all we can count on - not the 6am the Earl childhood nurse suggested. This is the least of our worries though - i think I can live with this if 1. and 2. can be solved!!!

trying at the moment to get an appointment to see nurse again. Any suggestions are welcome.....

got there
