James is starting his training early for his Olympic gymnastics debut. (I think having the pacifier will be a deduction, though.)James did fine with the larger overnight feeds, and he also did fairly well with his bottles yesterday. He only drank around 20-25 mls at a time, but he'd do that two or three times over the course of an hour, so he ended up exceeding the goal of 200 ml in daytime feedings. Of course, it seemed like we were feeding him every time we turned around! It's okay for now, and it was really nice not to have to deal with the pump during the day, but we're hoping that he'll consolidate those little feedings into fewer larger ones. He was also awake and happy a lot during the day, so at least this approach seems to be reducing his tummy discomfort.

Yea for another good day!
Blessings, blessings and more blessings!
Wow - several times an hour, not counting Mattie's feedings... Szofi only eats once every 3 hours and even that seems like constant feeding to me. Again, hats down to you guys; I am amazed how well you handle this.

FWIW, it's hard to know how the typical pattern of "cluster feeding" maps to the age of your boys, but there are certainly times when a growth spurt will cause them to (literally) demand to eat very frequently. Could be that's what's going on, and once he gets past this phase, he may not be hungry quite so frequently. Let's hope so, anyway! It's so good to hear that he's tolerating feedings so much better.
