Since Mum has been making me wait longer for a drink, I've been starving by the time I get a feed. Then I gulp down the milk as fast as I can when I finally get the chance, and drink as much as possible. I still think this tactic is a bit mean, but I have to say that I now sleep longer during my naps. Plus I'm staying awake longer as well, so it's all good. I'm still waking quite a lot at night, but I generally last about six hours between night feeds, with a few wakings before that.

Also, I'm now scoffing down a big bowl of congee each afternoon. I love it! I could eat more - I hope Mum lets me have more soon.

Another improvement is a new wrapping technique that Mum has used. After we saw Nurse Anne last week, Mum started wrapping me with my arms up near my chin. I liked that and didn't struggle as I used to. From there, it was easy to get my arms out if I wanted, but often I left them there. Now I like to get my arms out straight away, and lie with them beside my ears. I really like this - thankfully my arms seem to have stopped waggling around of their own accord, so I can just rest them on my bed and go to sleep.
