Time to introduce soilids me thinks
Emily's generally been a good sleeper. Two weeks ago, we could count on her going from about 7ish to 7ish without waking up*. This has started creeping earlier-- I didn't mind the 6/6:30ish wake up call, and was ok with when the feed finished at 6 (so prob a 5:30 wake up, since she take both barrels first thing in the morning). The past few days, however, it's felt waaay too early. I'd arranged to take kareina to the train station at 6:30 today (a couple weeks ago. Thinking I'd drop her off, then come home and it'd be the perfect time to feed Emily. Hah!), so when Emily woke us up, I actually looked at the clock.
4:30.
I have not had to get up that early for her since my parents left (when she was 6 weeks old).
Given that she eats every 2-4 hours durring the day (e.g. yesterday: whenever the super early feed was, then 9 ish, then 12, then 1:45ish (finished eating just after 2 when the friend we had lunch with HAD to be back at work), then 5ish. Feeds tend to take 10-20min and are on one side, except for the first one of the day.), I'm not sure how to get her to eat more during the day in the hopes of needing fewer calories at night. Except maybe offering both sides at every feed from now on. But if that doesn't work, it's time for big people food. (I'll prob just offer some avocado or banana for her to play with, rather than mess about with purrees.)
*It's possible she's been waking up, playing for a bit, then falling back asleep again. As long as she's not distrubing me, I don't care :-)
