I felt Joel's sleeping became more predictable in the recent weeks which I was handling ok because I had some 4-5 hour periods of him sleeping in his Moses basket but as I say it has gone back to 2-3 hours in the last week which really does make the difference to my mood as I feel so tired all the time and become irritable quickly. Questions like do I want to continue breast feeding arise as I'm thinking I will struggle to get him to take a bottle later on as the last time I expressed he wasn't happy until I gave in and gave him the boob but I really don't want to breast feed beyond teeth.........ouch! Even the thought sends shivers down my spine.
Ollie still has a bottle of milk at night for bed which is not easy to stop. We've managed to cut down to one only but he sees it as his bedtime routine and a comfort but he's two next month. It just makes me think if it is hard to give up a bottle will it be hard for Joel to give up the breast. I really don't want to be breast feeding a toddler.
Joel has also became incredibly alert over the last few weeks, he watches Ollie a lot. He has been trying to talk to us with sweet little coos and gurgles. His smile also turns into a little chuckle.
I cant believe how quickly it has gone.
