Sleeping Through The Night

I'm 6 weeks old and already I'm sleeping through the night! Sort of... Better than Emma ever did at this age anyway, or so Mum tells me.

Emma slept in approximately 2 hour spans until she was 3 1/2 months old, I sleep inconsistently but never any less than 2 hours and more likely three or more. For example last night, I slept from 9:30pm until 3:00am - Mum said 'wow' and 'thank you'! ;-)

In Sleeping Through the Night: How Infants, Toddlers, and Their Parents Can Get a Good Night's Sleep by Jodi A. Mindell, Ph.D. she states that 'breast-fed babies are notorious for taking longer...to sleep through the night' so Mum and Dad decided to try giving me a bottle of formula at my bedtime feeding at 8:00pm to test the theory that formula helps people like me (babies) sleep through the night more readily. A couple of nights into the experiment, and the theory seems to be holding true...for the most part. It seems to depend on how much I drink, which makes sense - if I'm hungry, I wake up.

Another thing Mum and Dad are doing is trying to get me into a bedtime routine. For instance Emma's routine is like this: bum changed, jammies on, snacks and a cup of milk, teeth brushed, Goodnight Moon read, hugs and kisses from Dad, cuddles with Mum, lights out. She sleeps from 8:00pm until 8:00am.

So now, Mum wants me to get into the groove too. But she's finding it difficult because of course I'm not always ready for bed at 8:00pm and sometimes Em or Dad are lagging behind. I'm sure she'll get it though, as will I...eventually...

Little Bear The Movie - Review

Little Bear Stars In A Full Length Feature

On Friday, Mum went out to Walmart and stumbled upon The Maurice Sendak's Little Bear: The Movie! I was so excited! I LOVE Little Bear!

Mum, Dad, Gavin, and I watched it on Saturday as part of Movie Night...it was GREAT!

If you have a toddler yourself, or are a toddler, get this movie! GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!

Stay turned for my next review...

Which Boob?

We just scrolled down to the bottom of our blog to check out the Ads By Google, because sometimes they're rather curious. But this time, one actually made sense to us! A Feeding Bracelet - absolutely ingenious!

Mom is always mixing up which boob I finished off on last, especially during my night-time feedings, so this bracelet would come in totally handy! Mom can't wait to rec'v her bracelet...

Check them out at http://www.milkbands.com/.

Our New Blog!

Hi!

Come on along and share in our trials and tribulations (along with our mom's).

She says any money earned from this blog has to be directed to savings or charity. I don't think that's fair! I think it should be directed directly to me. But Mom says we have to split it 50/50. Again, no fair! I'm bigger and older than Gavin, therefore if it must be split it should be split 60/40! Or better yet 100/0! But no. Considering neither Gavin or I can spell, write or type and Mom is doing the work, we have to listen to her. (What a tyrant!)

We hope to bring you our favourites with reasons as to why they are our favourites, along with reasons why they are or aren't our parents' favourites.

We'll be 'blogging' again soon!

Emma
