Keziah's day

Well though not established much organised routine, Keziah is now more predictable in her feeding n rest time. I would say it is not a typical schedule that one would expect of a 2-week old baby. Nurses in hospital told me she should be feeding on a 2-3 hr interval and sleep most of the time. Yet my baby has a difference. Now she sleeps quite alot at night which I am thankful of but feeds almost non-stop in the afternoon. Is she storing up for the night? Puzzled for a mum nursing baby on demand.

Typical day for Keziah
0730 Wakes up for feed
0830 Bath
0900 Play time.
1030 Nap
1230 -1300 Wakes up and begins the tormenting cycle of feed, pee, change diapers and doze of not more than 15 - 30 min. This goes on and on till the early evening. I really wonder how much she can drink. This is exhausting as there seems no rest time at all. The moment she falls asleep and I would to put her in bed, she cries again searching for milk. ARghhhhh....help me!!!
1900-2000 Finally more settle after a sponge which sometimes can be a crying battlefield but it really depends on her mood. Usually after a sponge she's more comfortable and ready for feed.
2100 Finish with feed and ready for bed. Sometimes take 10-20 min to sing and pat her to sleep...
0100 Wakes up for night feed (appox 45 min - 1 hr) and guai guai goes back to sleep after that
0700 Wakes up to begin another day

Guess the trying moment is the afternoon of continuous cycle which seems out of the norm.

Keziah's cycle is almost identical to Shawn's in the day! That's the period I am most afraid of man... seems like he can never be satiated. You are better off though... Keziah only feeds once at night a 1am and sleeps through to 7am?? That's great for u :)

Yes I know what u mean....frustrates one to think we can't even free ourselves to get a bite or a loo break. That's the thing with tbf..feed on demand. Hope it's a growth spurt n not colic. Yupz thank God she's been sleeping in the night pretty well..juz one feed so far or otherwise one more 6-7. U ok sp far?
