Busy bees

Busy day today mainly to distract me from the fact we didn't have a good night with Monkey being awake from 3.30-5. Ouch! Swimming in the morning followed by coffee with friends then took Monkey to be weighed before we headed to sainsburys.

Had a good chat with the health visitor about Monkey's sleep. It sounds like what she's doing (usually 2 wake ups for feeds between 10ish and 7ish) is not unusual for a baby of her age and weight (16lb10.5 now). She's growing well and putting on weight steadily so over a 24hr period is obviously getting the milk she needs. Would be nice if she could have more in the day and less at night but never mind. I asked if early weaning would help but as I can only give her fruit, veg and cereal before she's 6months which aren't massively calorific it is unlikely to and may even make it worse. Only another 4 weeks to go until we can give her proteins and fats so will hang on til then. I know weaning won't be a magic cure for sleep but hopefully it will help.
