Aimee asleep during mid-feed!!
Aimee slept for a full night for the first time in her short but lively little life. We didn’t do anything particularly different, in fact just the normal routine of milk at 6.30pm, and lights out by 7pm. After listening to her fussing for about ten minutes, Cat fed her again. Then that was it. A couple of very sleepy moans at 3am which got me out of bed, but she did not wake up from them. Of course once I was awake, I could not sleep. Aimee then woke up about 5.30am, so all in all, she slept for 10 hours solid – ole Gina Ford would be very impressed.
The trick seems to have been Cat adding an evening meal of solids to her daily food schedule. Up til now, only lunch was on the menu. But this time, a couple of cubes of pear seems to have helped. She turned her nose up at pear at first, but after a couple of spoons, eventually wolfed it down like she does all the other foods we have tried. We are both really pleased with her progress on foods and I am keen to cook her more variety of vegetable and fruit. We are also beginning our preparation towards our holiday to Scotland. It’ll be a very long car journey – something we know won’t go down too well with Aimee, but there is no other option really. It will be a big challenge for us, but also a nice chance for a change in scenery.
