Breastmilk tips
Hey soon to be dad's or lurking mom's. I wanted to share some info that I picked up thats saved us. Qualifications - My 5 month son has been sleeping an average of 9hrs each night in his own bed for 3 months. His PR is 12 hrs just the other night.
Morning, Day, and night breastmilks are all different so if you pump, also write the time and try to match the bottle time to the pump times. The sleep hormones from the tired mommy or caffeine from the morning coffee will affect their sleep schedule.
Mine can eat in his sleep but your mileage may vary. If they are down for the night, do not wake them up. Give the bottle or breast as gently as you can in a dark room to keep them asleep. If they wake up, congrats you now have a 2 hour routine until they go down again.
The thinner the diaper, the less you should trust it overnight. Use the nice thick ones for nights and the cheap thin beands during the day when you can change more frequently.
Thats all I've got for now that I recently felt I should share. Good luck our there.
