I stay with my DD and SIL for part of the week, and have always offered to do night feeds for at least one of the nights. My lovely grandaughter (9 weeks) totally refused to breastfeed, but is thriving on Mummy's expressed milk via a bottle, so I can do this for them. I remember how hard those early weeks were when my babies were little, and my Mum was 200 miles away - I would have just loved a whole night's sleep! Last week a good friend of mine came to stay too, and we sent the young couple out for dinner, then back for a good night's sleep while we enjoyed ourselves doing everything from evening bath through to morning bath. DGD was very well behaved and went back to sleep nice and quickly after feeds and changes.
However, when I told my sister this, she was horrified. She is Grandma to 4, and says she draws the line at night-shifts (which I can well understand as she has 4 but I only have 1!)
What do you all think? I have to say I just enjoy having her all to myself for those few hours...
