11/8

11/8

Feeds: 9 (1 semi successful bottle), average interval 3h
Sleep: 14h, total 8 (4 daytime naps)
Diapers: 18


Slept well but backtracked in terms of interval between night feeds. Last night had to feed Boom 2 times at 2:30 and 5:30, only 3 hours in between. If only he would feed at 3:30 and 7! Boom also ate little. At 2:30 feed he pooped twice, 2 very big mess that mom had to wake daddy up to help rinse his ass since one person cannot do this task. The good thing was that after 2:30 feed he was still awake, mom put him in the crib to play and turn off the light, he protested but mom sushed and held his hand from where she was lying and he fell asleep right away in his own!

Nowadays he rarely spents more than 10, 15 minutes on each breast. Mommy had to start forcing the 2nd breast but he would only eat a little.

This morning woke up very early and played by himself and with daddy for awhile, did not even want to eat. Ms Lan was able to bottle feed him 35ml but he fell asleep! He rarely falls asleep by himself so early in the morning like this but probably because he was tired from the early wake up. Took a 1 hour nap. Today we had to move to his room during the day because of the loud contruction of the neighbor's apartment. Will have to buy new bottle and nipple to train him to bottle feed again.

But that was the only good time. After that was a terrible day in terms of nap. Took only very short naps after a long time sush and pat and other methods from mom. Sometimes had to walk around. Mommy super tired. Only got 30' midday nap and 20' for shower in the afternoon while Ms Lan looked after Boom. However he was good at bath time. Ate after bath (moved back to bedroom) while listening to mom read Toto chan, doze off while eating but woke up again. Took sometime sush and pat before finally falling asleep almost 6. Had to pick up and pat again at the 45' mảk. Nowadays during daytime naps Boom almost never sleep through the 45' without help to continue. 

Dad went to buy a new bottle for Boom today. Mom and dad managed to have dinner before Boom woke up. Mom fed Boom in bed and he fell asleep again but daddy disturbed him. Had to rock him a bit but luckily when put down into the crib drowsy, he made a few noises and moved around a bit before falling asleep at 8:15. Mom was going to give him another feed plus dream feed to tank up but both he and mom slept through. Mom woke up 11:15 and gave him a dreamfeed. He was still sleeping but ate well and continue without waking up.

Cnclusion: bad day but good evening. Big improvement on falling asleep by himself once!
