Hannah hasn't been sleeping very well these last few days, and I'm just exhausted. She's waking every 1 - 2 hours all night long. She's putting on heaps of weight (she's at the 90th percentile for her age in height and weight) and I just don't see that she needs to feed that often! I'm feeding her every 2 hours during the day too (she's demanding to be fed that often). She is stuffing around at the breast too - and sometimes hurting me. But when I take her off and try to figure out what else could be wrong she cries and won't settle until I offer her the breast again. Can't win! Last night I got so frustrated I just had to put her back in her bassinette and let her cry for a while. I felt terrible, but I wasn't game to pick her up because I was getting so upset and angry myself. Tim had a pillow over his head through all this mind you!
I'm gonna go nuts if she doesn't sleep soon! She seems to alternate between having a few days and nights of reasonable sleeping, and then a few awake days and nights. Very unpredictable.
Oh well. I am trying to tell myself that this will pass (please tell me it will!!!).
On another note, I was thinking of putting something on lay-by for Hannah for Christmas at one of the big toy sales that are on at the moment. Is anyone else going to do this? Apparently there is no minimum deposit....then I can just pay it off at $10 a week or something like that. I just have no idea what to get her. Any ideas? What would a 7 month old like? I guess anything that says 6m plus would be ok. Does anyone know what those leap pad things are like? What's all the rage with kids toys these days?!
Hope everyone else is doing well! Hannah's wanting another feed...be back later for the personals...
