1. New and Expectant Meeting, Day One closure
--------------------------------------------------------
CarinSF - 9/22/2013 8:11 pm

 Our last New and Expectant meeting for the next month
 or two is this Tuesday!I just got an email from Day One
 and they said the following: we just found out on
 Thursday that we are not able to extend our lease for
 the month of October and our new space on Sacramento
 Street will not be ready until sometime in November
 (hopefully).I'm sorry for the late notice but we will
 not be able to host your meetings in October and most
 likely November. I'll get in contact with you once we
 have a firm opening date to resume meetings.This is
 different from what they told me two weeks ago, so I
 apologize for the confusion. I would be open to having
 folks come meet at my house in the interim, on second
 and fourth Tuesdays, perhaps in the late afternoon i.e.
 from 4-5:30 when I can ship my kids off to their
 grandparents' house, if there is an interest in
 continuing on during the Day One closure. I live in the
 inner Sunset and there is always tons of parking in
 front on my house. LMK if you'd like to switch over to
 my place in October, otherwise, I'll assume folks want
 to take a break until we hear more from Day One. Hope
 to see you guys on Tuesday!

2. Sudden middle of night wake up
--------------------------------------------------------
anonymous - 9/22/2013 9:34 am

 My girls are 3.5 months and for about 4-5 weeks they
 have been on a predictable (pretty amazing)
 schedule:7-8 pm bedtime5-6:30 am wake up, eat, go right
 back down8:30-9:30 wake up for the day. During the day
 I've been doing six feedings every 2.5 hours (sometimes
 2.25). They are exclusively breastfed and i pump once
 around 10 pm before i go to sleep. They've been growing
 at a normal to above normal rate. Nothing has changed
 about our daytime routine. And my 10 pm pumping session
 is still producing the same amount. Then two nights ago
 Baby A woke up at 2:30 am. I got her back to sleep, but
 she woke back up screaming her head off. So I fed her.
 Her sister slept through it. They woke up again at 6:45
 (later than normal), ate then went right back down and
 slept until 10 am. Then last night they went to sleep
 at the late end of the normal time frame, at 8 pm. They
 both woke up at 2:30 am crying. I fed them. Then I had
 to wake them up at 8 am (I had an appointment to go
 to). I fed them and we kept them up like a normal eat,
 play sleep cycle instead of going right back down,
 since it is so much later in the day.It didn't seem the
 right thing to do cry it out because they must be
 hungry - I know they can sleep through the night so
 they are waking up for some reason. I never had to do
 CIO in the middle of the night - only at bedtime to
 learn how to fall asleep. Wise twin moms, what do you
 think is going on? After the first middle of the night
 wake up I was very diligent yesterday about hydrating
 and eating. Do you think they are going through a
 growth spurt? Is my milk production down or somehow
 not enough anymore? I have noticed that they will just
 nurse continuously - I have to pull them off after
 25-30 mins. I can't tell if this is because they are
 pacifying themselves or they are still hungry. They
 don't generally cry when I pull them off, except Baby A
 did cry a few times and it might have been that night
 she woke up. I let her nurse a little more until she
 came off and didn't cry. No strange crying yesterday. I
 thought today I would add a little pumping in after
 each feeding to see if I can increase my supply. How
 can I tell if I need to supplement? Do I need to give
 them an extra bottle after they nurse in the evenings? 
 Any thoughts or suggestions for who to speak to
 (consultants) much appreciated. I want to get back to
 no 2:30 am wake ups!
