What is the "12 week sleep thing"?

Back in April a researcher posted to a few pregnancy groups looking
for new babies to take part in research about sleep - it's called HUSH
Babies (Helping to Understand Sleep Habits in Babies). [...]

Ah. Interesting.

I got some pics of YB asleep wearing his tag and I intend sending
Yvonne one or two so she can see what one of subjects looked like
asleep.
Actually, this is what he looked like...

Aw, bless. A fine looking Young Bloke he is...

YoungBloke has finally reached the stage where not every nappy is
dirty, which I feel is wonderful, and is another 'milestone' to look
forward to. I'm still waiting for not pooing every day, though!

Heh. I *prefer* it when Sprogly poops every day--it's so much more
manageable than when he saves it up. Especially when we're out and
about. Gah.

Okay, once a day I'd be thrilled with!

Even that can be a bit much with Sprogly. I don't know how he does it. If
it's not out the leg holes, it's up the back.

Sprogly stopped the every nappy dirty thing right after he started daycare,
about a week after I switched to paper nappies...our DCP was unenthusiastic
about washing out the covers 4x/day, and I couldn't see buying more covers,
and schlepping poopy diapers back and forth every day. Now I sort of wish
I'd stuck with the cloth...can't afford the nappy service *and*
disposables...I wish I had a washing machine. *grumble*

Thanks for the encouragement! The last few days we've had only yellow poo
(including one yesterday that was so impressive I emailed DH at work
about
it :-) so although DS still gets uncomfortable with wind, maybe things
are
changing in his digestive system in a good way now and his discomfort
will
ease soon. Here's hoping!

Hurrah!

My DS was still pooping up to six times per day when he was three months old
and I despaired of ever getting to the one-per-day-or less milestone. I even
asked at about it at a La Leche League meeting and they seemed of the
opinion that if he hadn't cut back by the three month mark, he was probably
going to remain a poop-a-lot-Bobby (family joke :-). Anyway, a week or two
later, he suddenly switched to once per day or once every other day. The
every others are not even as bad as some of the six-per-day were, so I'm not
positive what is up digestionally speaking. It has been about two weeks now
of this new "pattern" so far, so I'm getting used to it.

If he hasn't yet gotten to not pooing every day, my bet is that he never will.
None of my babies ever skipped a day (my daughters did go down to once or twice
a day, though), and one of them I almost never took a diaper off that was "just
wet", even when he was three years old!

*sob*
Nah, not really. I don't mind the poo, except when he waits till I've
just put a nappy on! This morning I undressed him and left him on the
change mat for some bare bum time while I had a shower. When I got out
he'd pooed. As I was cleaning him up he did it again. On the plus
side, this may well have emptied him for an hour or two...

Yes - I must ask if we'll get some feedback at the end of the study.

I am marginally biased, but I agree. He's got a good set of lungs on
him, too!

Oh yes, BTDT with disposables. Change the entire outfit, not just the
nappy.

What a shame. When YB starts nursery I've already checked that they
have no problems with cotton nappies and wraps, which they haven't -
if they do, or if we run out of wraps, I'll use eco-disposables. The
nurseries I've looked at all welcome BF mums to come and feed their
babies too, which is very supportive.

Today every nappy has been dirty. So has every wrap, and one complete
set of clothes. And the /smell/! I'm beginning to wonder what I ate
yesterday that made such a difference!

I don't know about amazed - the change is pretty gradual, nightime sleep
seems to be getting worse rather than better (3 month growth spurt, maybe)
and he still feeds 6 hours in 24 (ie I'm still waiting for the efficient
5-10 minute feeds people say start around now, and it's still the case that
if he hasn't fed for an hour in the day, he's probably hungry. Still,
things are changing, esp the length of time he can play and the kinds of
play he can do - it's great to see him discovering things, even if it is
that he can grab my hair in both hands and latch onto my nose!

Yup, DS sometimes has nappies that are only wet. The dirty ones tend to be
*very* dirty these days though!

A colleague of DH's asked if he was on solids yet - *after* asking how old
he is! She also explained to me before he was born that she hadn't been
able to bf because her babies were "hungrier" :-(
