Not sure how much I can get on here as I have a really slow internet connection (dongle) and it has already taken about five minutes just to load this reply page and my little man may not lie happily for much longer while I type. This ladies is the reason I have been MIA for ages.
Green - I read somewhere to keep them upright for at least ten minutes after every feed throughout the day as the wind accumulates and makes them fussy with excess wind in the evening. I used to have big probs with wind in my little man but it seems to be calming down now. I have never had to burp him at night though when he is sleeping. I just used to have hours and hours of burping and screaming before bed. He does though fart alot in his sleep. He sort of thrashes and grizzles then farts but doesn't wake up. However since he is in bed with me it does wake me sometimes!!!! LOL
BG and Janie - lovely pics and lovely girls!!!
Murph - congrats on successful move and GL with those backward Southern docs and their backward administrative ways!!!! Speaking as a Queenslander here!!! LOL! Seriously though I hope Jazz can get her implants at the right time.
Neptune - hope things work out for you. I second you seeing someone to talk it through as we cannot change others behaviour but we have control over our own attitude about their behaviour until they do! Not that I am saying that you have the wrong attitude (no way!!!!) but that as he is not going to change tomorrow without some help you need help and support in coping with it in the meantime IYKWIM.
Smithy - hope the sleep settles back down again...sounds like it could be a Wonder Week...
Saph - Wonder week with the sleep? and pleased to hear about the hips!
Grub - Hello!
BOC - welcome and congratulations on the birth of Jagger!
I am so behind I am sorry I have to leave people out! Little man is starting to grumble so must be quick.
AFM - sleeping is still a nightmare but Breastfeeding is easy now!!! I love doing it! I swear it was the hardest thing I have done in my life. Seriously everything else I have ever done I have been able to fudge it or fake it, School, Uni, jobs etc but this I had to do it properly and I had to perservere and I got through in the end. He is spacing out the feeds now (which is meaning a little less sleep at night because the evening tanking up cluster feeds are gone) so life is a little easier now but he still won't sleep!!!!! Although he is getting a few more naps into the day. I feed him to sleep and he sleeps from 20 mins to an hour by himself on my bed. He still gets a sleep in the sling now and again when I am out and about but he is more alert now so likes to look about!!! Yesterday he barely slept at all but that meant I got a four hour stretch of sleep last night so swings and roundabouts I guess!!! The screaming has settled down now too. Our witching hour at night which used to be about three hours is now only half an hour! I think nd hope we are meeting our three months turnaround that everyone was promising me would happen!!! LOL
