Eating
Right now she's nursing around 7 times a day and 1 bottle (around 120ml). For the past few days, we started to give her the bottle for the dreamfeed and she has finished the bottle (she used to only drink around 90 ml). I also think it's helping her extend her nights. When I nursed her, she woke up around 4 am (6 hours after the dreamfeed) but when she takes a bottle she wakes after 8 or more hours. Still too early to tell for sure but we'll see how it goes.
Sleeping
She's averaging around 13-14 hours of sleep in a day. Generally she's getting around 10-11 hours at night and the rest during naps. Naps are usually 3-4 in a day. I notice her morning nap is usually short then she has a long nap around 11 am. The afternoon naps varies quite a bit but if she doesn't sleep enough she'll fall asleep when I go fetch Meera from school. Now that school has started I think her routine will be more consistent. Wake-time is ideally 1.5-2 hours (but it's shorter if her nap was not good).
I'm still trying the sh and pat method of putting her to bed. But lately I've realised that I'm nursing her to sleep! Initially I was feeding cos whenever I fed her after waking she was so distracted she hardly drank. So when naptime rolled around and she fussed I figured she's hungry and fed. So starts the cycle of feeding to sleep. And lately I'm noticing I'm always feeding her and she falls asleep. So I'm not really doing sh pat anymore.
Need to remind myself that when she fusses it's not always a sign of hunger! If I pat and sh loud enough and persistently she will fall asleep. I just always doubt myself and nurse her instead!
Milestones
She is still rolling from back to front but I hardly see her rolling the other way round. It's happened a few times while she's in bed but whenever I put her on the mat she will roll to her tummy and after she tires herself out she starts wailing! I have yet to see her roll over on the mat.
