Unhappy

So tired.


Well the sleeping loads as stopped and although I love her being awake so much I'm finding it so hard to make bottles ever 2-3 hours. Sometimes I just can't be arsed! Obviously I have to but it is becoming a drag. She isn't a bad baby but doing the night shift alone every night doesn't half become tiring. I'm so busy cleaning up after everyone during the day when she decides to sleep most, then at night she is hardly ever asleep, so I'm just finding it hard to find time to sleep. Uggh, I don't want to complain I love doing stuff for her but I need a rest.

Make a bunch of bottles ahead of time... Enough for the day or the night (12 hours)

When you feed her one, set the next one out to be ready for the next feed.

And YES SLEEP WHEN SHE SLEEPS.

Your not allowed to do this anymore, as bacteria can build up in the bottle and cause serious harm to your baby.

Its suppose to be make it up as she needs one.

My understanding is that you can make up bottles you need and refrigerate them... and pull them out up to two hours prior to feeding and be ok.
