Jasper on routine

So far we've been able to put him into a stable daily routine and he seems to cooperate well. I'm glad and thankful that both my babes are cooperative in terms of being in a routine. It also gives me some time for myself to rest and relax in between the feeding/washing/napping.

Feeding
Just a few days after turning 2 mths, the boy has gotten into a 4 hrly feeding routine and is able to sleep for a longer period of time at night - i.e. 6hrs max. before waking for milk . So his last feed now is around 1030/11pm and he'll wake around 4/5am for his first feed. Anyway, we'll try to stretch him further by patting and giving him his pacifier until he cannot tahan and cry out "Feed Me"! But like his big sister he can be quite a slow drinker, tho he seems to be slightly better since he does like his milk, just abit fussy if he's not in the mood i.e. cry and arch his back when we try to feed him; suckle/"gum" the teat gently; and lastly drink when in sleep mode. I hope he outgrows this habit like his big sister.

Sleep
His day time naps are quite standard for now about 2 long naps; one after bath and milk and the other after his afternoon milk. After which we'll make sure he's awake by 5pm so that we can do a wash up for him before he goes to bed around 8pm.

Play
So far he's sleeping most of the time and I guess that's pretty common for babies at this stage. But when he's awake we'll talk to him, play with him or place him on the playmat(at least once a day).  The boy is really responsive and loves it when people chat with him, he likes to wink and smile at faces. He sometimes even "chats" back, he's really quite charming.  At the same time he does seem to have a very quick and fiery temper tho as he can cry cry cry till he coughs and choke when he's upset, but he is easily pacified with a quick hug+rock+pat+lullaby :)



See how happy he is while I was talking to him!
