We met with the girls Orthopaedic Surgeon yesterday. The hip braces have been on for 4 weeks now and the scan showed some improvement. We are now allowed to take the brace off to give them quick baths but other than that it is still to stay on full-time. Our next appointment and scan is in 6 weeks time and *fingers crossed* it will then only be worn at night which I am guessing means somwthing like 12 hours 6pm-6am...
I really missed giving the girls proper baths. We gave them one last night for the first time in a month and my goodness they have grown! They completely filled up the plastic bath tub.
The girls are very kind to us with their routine and have recently dropped a night-time feed. I was worried that they wouldn't make up this feed with their others as the amount they were eating didn't increase but their tummies seem to be slowly stretching to allow for the increase.
They are still demand fed but are very predictable with their feeding times so that pretty much gives them and me a routine to work with:
6.00am - Feed, up 1.5 hours
Sleep, 2.5 hours
10.00am - Feed, up 1.5 hours
Sleep, 2.5 hours
2.00pm - Feed, up 1.5 hours
Sleep, 2 hours
5.30pm - Bath, Feed, up 1.5 hours
7.00pm - Bedtime
Sleep, 4 hours
11.00pm - Feed, up 1 hour
Sleep, 6 hours
To spice things up sometimes they like to start the day at 5am. They both love their sleep but only in their cots. They hate sleeping in the pram but I suspect it is due to the uncomfortable metal bar under their butt.
