anyways take care and big hellos to you all.
Just thought I would let you know that our FET was unsuccessful, or as the clinic put it "definatively negative", so we are going to do a back to back FET and go back to our good old day 3's, as this is what resulted in Tara. I'm ok with the BFN as having Tara makes everything better anyway.
We are going on holiday on Sunday for a week and then all systems go for FET #5.
Sorry to hear your transfer didn't work Kelly - all the best for number 5.
Haven't had a chance to get onto BB for some time as we had a rotten week with Finn last week. All of a sudden my lovely sleepy baby turned into a non-sleeper. Turns out he may have reflux so he's now on Zantac for that. So far this week (touch wood, touch wood) he seems a bit better so am hoping it does the trick. From my years working in early childhood I always knew I could cope with lots of things, but babies who don't sleep is high on my list of things that send me crazy. Poor little guy, he really was unsettled and although this week he's sleeping better I still can't get him to fall asleep in the bassinet - he will only sleep in the car/pram/on my shoulder etc. Can anyone suggest any wonderful tricks and tips they may have used to get their baby to sleep in the cot???
Ah Lise, unfortunately it's pretty common. Keeping them upright as much as possible is the best thing for reflux (and pretty much all babies have it to some extent). It will pass with time. It's no wonder also that they prefer to be held when they're feeling uncomfortable.
Do you have a carrier - they've very handy for the day time when they happier to sleep in your arms.
Sleeping in a cot is an acquired taste - it takes time for some little ones and some never really get there. DS slept in a cot briefly, then we gave up after a couple of months of non-sleeping (we're slow learners) and he slept on a mattress on the floor, often with me. Anyway, at this age I wouldn't worry too much about it, it's very likely he'll settle down in the next month or so and figure it out on his own.
You may want to get a copy of the No Cry Sleep Solution - she has some useful advice on baby sleeping. And just rest whenever you can
What Marcellus said.... Also as you come up to the 6 week mark you will also start to notice some big changes as Finn will hit a "Wonder Week" when all of his senses start to hit him, especially sight. I think pretty much all of us mum's went through the horror bit around that time.
Lise - my DS had a moses basket and cot 'allergy' I just gave up trying. I expended too much energy trying to put him down all the time because I thought that is what I was 'supposed' to do. I came to the decision that in my heart of hearts it didn't matter to me where he slept and I was just trying to please the Health Visitor (UK version of MCHN) and the myriad of people who went on about cots and 'good' babies who sleep in cots! So he had his day sleeps in the sling or on my lap and was in with us at night. He still is in with us at night but now has his naps on our bed after I feed him to sleep. So I am not the person to ask for advice about how to get them sleeping in a cot!
Good luck with coming to a sleep solution that suits your family and your baby!
hugs to you lise,you poor bugga i hope things start to get better soon.

Thanks for your thoughts ladies, it's enough to bring tears to my eyes! Finn's reflux, feeding and sleeping are actually getting worse so we're at QEII which is a family centre for babies and toddlers. Am hoping they can help a bit because he's not putting any weight on and every feed is a struggle which ends with both oYep, see you both thenf us in tears - his from pain and mine because I feel so useless seeing him like that and not being able to do anything. Will let you know how we go xx
Oh Lise it's good you're getting help. I hope you can sort things out. Maybe use this as an opportunity to rest yourself and don't be hard on yourself, please! You're learning as you go and you will get there
