Uh oh. I think maybe things are about to change. I've just been to see Nurse Anne at the MCH Centre and I listened in to the conversation. Didn't like it much. Nurse Anne has told Mummy to string me out between feeds to last over three hours, and preferably closer to four between drinks. That doesn't sound good to me.
I am very happy with the present arrangement: I have a drink from one side and am then content to kick back and have a play. If Mum tries to make me drink more I just turn my head and act all nonchalent. (She tried to force feed me when I was really little and I hated it, so I won't have it again) Then I have a little snooze, wake-up and ask for another little drink. No problem that I can see.
I suppose it could be easier if I didn't get so hungry overnight, but I honestly don't mind having two feeds overnight instead of one. But I heard Nurse Anne say that with my size, I shouldn't be needing a drink at all overnight. What kind of dreadful suggestion is that? I thought we went there to get helpful advice, and to suggest that I don't need to drink as often as I do is not helpful. Not to me anyway.
I need to keep all 7.88 kilos of me nice and rounded. At least I've grown a bit taller as well and not just outwards - I'm 65cm tall and my head circumference is 43cm (for those who are shopping for hats for me - it's getting very sunny). We'll just see how persuasive I can be with my cute, gummy smiles and my 'mmm mmmmmm mmmmm's'. I bet Mummy won't be able to resist letting me have a drink. Failing the cute option, there's always the scream to fall back on.
