but shoegal - i haven't had af yet and don't expect to for some time, since it took over a year to return after having ds. i think hair falling out may go with breastfeeding? i'm sure i've heard of this happening before.
nettie i have serious sleep envy!!
and on that note... leyla if it helps, you're definitely not the only one with a frequently-waking baby. i'm so sick of my own sleep problems i won't go into them again but i know how it feels...
My hairdresser warned me about the falling out hair thing. I'm malting a lot - but have a really thick head of hair so I won't miss a million strands here or there! Apparently it's a hormonal thing and some of my mothers group have got their hair thinning out a lot too. My hairdresser tells me that the worst of it is when it starts growing back in and you get lots of shorter pieces in the mix which means your hair will be all over the shop!
Mine's not thin, but it's certainly uncontrollable!
Mgm - the sleeps aren't consistent. Last night he went down at 8pm, woke at 12.30 am - then at 4.15 am and again at 8 am. I did my first night feed in AGES... I did the 4.15 am one... felt buggered all day too! I know - poor me! At least I can empathise now! He's barely had any sleep all day today - probably no more than an hour ALL DAY so I'm not sure what tonight will bring
Hi guys,
Just quickly, I'm malting majorly too, which is annoying cause I have a weird irrational aversion to wet strands of stray hair on me....and I'm now getting them all the time....
yup, I know...I'm weird! but hey, we all have to be good at something!
Sleep wise for us...had a few minor wind issues with BJ the past few nights...give him his bottle, burp the **** out of him, he goes to sleep, then 15 minutes later he's awake needing to burp again....the worst it got was he went to bed at 7:30 one night, and at 11pm was still going!
Most night's its about an hour though, and I have a feeling thats its actually overtiredness kicking on not wind...he's the kind of bub that would burp if you burped him whether he was arking up about it or not...so I think whats happening is we are missing his window by about 10 minutes then we have to wait for the wake cycle to end (about 40 minutes) then he crashes again.
Once asleep he either goes through til 2am and has a dummy return then through til 6ish for another dummy return then up at 7:30, or through til 5am (finding his own dummy til then) then has a feed then back to sleep til 7:30.
Then its bit more bottle, then cereal at 8:15ish, then back in bed about 9am til 11am (then bottle), up til about 1:30 has a snooze if we are out, bottle about 2-2:30 then back down til about 5pm, then up, bottle, play, cereal, bath, bottle, bed (7:30).
A couple of times this week I've not gotten home for arvo sleep til about 3ish and he's slept through til 6pm when I've woken him.
