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.

well..that kinda all went to crud...
I mentioned that BJ has been a bit fussy at bedtime and we were assuming it was wind (cause if we got him up and burped him, he'd burp....) but I've come to the conclusion that he would burp if we patted him on the back whether wind was bothering him or not, and that I thought it was overtiredness so I was gonna aim for an earlier bedtime (it's usually 7:30). Well, he was just finishing what he wanted of his bottle at 6:40 and had lovely dopey/drowsey eyes, and blinks that lasted a couple of seconds....and DH got home from work (earlier than I expected), and came in to let us know he was home...well of course BJ went spacko at seeing daddy, smiles and laughing and squealing etc, and instead of being asleep by about 6:45, he finally fell asleep (after displaying the exact same behaviours as previous nights at 7:30.
Now dont get me wrong, I love that BJ and DH have such a wonderful connection, but I wanted to test the overtiredness theory tonight and it was all looking promising....grrr....nevermind, I've put my foot down and told DH that BJ will be in bed at 6:30 tomorrow night and thats final!
He did take a little less time to settle tonight than in previous nights, suggesting that I MAY be onto something as he was going to bed earlier tonight and then took less time to settle...will see tomorrow night I guess.

well....that was a very interesting night.
After falling asleep at 7:30...Benjamin stayed asleep til 1:30am...I got up and was on my way into him when he settled himself to sleep again...then woke at 3:45 and I had to give him his dummy cause he couldnt reach it (his neck didnt extend that far!), re-settled himself at 6:00am and stayed asleep til 8am...then had 120ml of bottle....
I'm impressed!!!
