It would be easier to feed the baby with a foot pump and a funnel. This evening for her tea she ate a good portion of butternut squash followed by two bananas. And she still wanted more. Ok, two bananas, you say, you could eat two bananas. Well, think of the size of her. It’s like you eating two bananas that are each the size of a gas cylinder you can get at the petrol station, or a bag of golf clubs, or your own leg or something. That’s right. It’s a lot of food.
Little fatty.
Hopefully going to bed with a bulging belly will mean she will sleep through the night. The past few weeks she has been waking up at 2am, and then again at about 5am. This sort of coincides with starting her on solid food (in fact, the main reason we started her on solid food when we did was that the baby seemed to be hungrier), but it could just be a growth spurt. Either way, the baby refuses point blank to have anything to do with formula milk when she wakes in the night, so maybe it’s just a comfort thing, wanting to be breastfed back into unconsciousness.
The sooner she is sleeping through again the better. Lynne is starting to get a little resentful of the amount of sleep I have been getting.
