boys arent sleeping the entire three hours like they did. Cannon just woke up after two to eat another full feeding but Cooper is starting to "snack feed" eating only 35 mls at a time. (his min is supposed to be 48)
Before they would go right back to sleep after they ate, now they fall asleep and then wake back up... this all just happened today. Not to mention, POO every hour!!!
Did my happy go lucky schedule just go out of the window?
Im soooo having a mimosa tomorrow, maybe even two

Re: i think the honeymoon is over
Sister it's the 2 week growth spurt. I almost lost it at that point b/c babies were up 24/7 and DH was back at work. It was during that week when I cried out of exhaustion. It was the only time I really felt like I needed help, and my mom left work to come relieve me. For us the growth spurt lasted almost a week and they went back to every 3 hours.
I didn't respond to your Babywise post, but I agreed with the others. They are way too young for any training or schedule. And given that they were a bit early even more so. We are only now seriously working on a schedule with our babies. It does get better. Just go day by day and each day down is one day closer to sanity.
At 5 months we are really enjoying the babies. It is very hard for the first 4 months and does progressively get easier.
Hang in there! It's hard! And I promise it will get better. Our babies our now 3 months....and there is a huge difference in regards to how easy it is. I mean, it's not always easy....but they are on a routine/schedule and it's wonderful. I am enjoying them....and I will be honest.....I didn't enjoy them the first 2 months.
I just remember taking it day by day. Sometimes even hour by hour. I would do a feeding and say "OK, one more feeding done". I found them to be pretty stressful.
Good luck!!!!
