Sounds like we've had some very unsettled bubs lately .
We are mostly back to normal with sleeps here, except that she didn't go down til 10.30 last night after trying since 7.30! I gave up for a while and she sat in her rocker and laughed at the tv. I had a bit of a breakdown again....I think just from being tired and thinking about my bf. I had her on the breast most of the day yesterday trying to increase my milk more, I think it worked, we have gone all morning today without a bottle....wooohoooo!!! I'm very excited. Last night she wouldn't take a bottle, shaking her head and screaming. Poor little monkey, she was so hungry, but I had so little milk for her. I ended up putting her on the bb then when she was half asleep, I slipped a bottle in her mouth.
Christy, I have thought of doing nannying, not sure how to go about getting a job though. I don't think agencies would let me take Lily with me if I got a job with one!! LOL. I'd love to do it, but never have, and have always thought I would love it. Tho I'm not too sure how to get something, other than through agencies.
I hope you and Olivia get some rest today!
Melissa, DH is usually still awake for the first feed, so he doesn't hear her cause he's in the lounge room, the next feed he gets up, but it takes him ages to hear her. I try to kick him out of bed...
Well, if it makes you feel better I didn't get out of my pj's at all yesterday, til I had a bath at about 7.30, after my mini breakdown...I just didn't see the use since I was on the lounge all day with Lily attached to me. Pj's are so much easier to feed in than clothes, hehehe!
With the eye thing I had the same problem a few weeks ago. I have heard that a drop of bm in her eye is good for it and tried it. It seemed to work for us, it went away that day.
Erin, my DH is the same. He works 12+ hr shifts but helps out when he can. He's pretty good and I'm lucky he doesn't need much sleep, unlike me!!
