Koru - That could be her arsnic hour??? Which is developmental stage that babies go to at around 4-6wks... This is where nothing will settle them they just need to let out a cry and after an hour or to back to their happy selves...The only other thing i could suggest would be trying all the things you already are... So that doesn't help. sorry.
Misty - My DF goes back to work today, I'm hoping my kids behave too lol... Glad to hear Baz circumsition went great. I would go see doc now hun...
Noni - your doing what is best for you an bubs which is the main thing U did a great job trying hun...
TK - hope caitlin didn't end up having a cold...
Cheezel its not your fault peter caught a cold hun... I hope hes got heaps better.
AFM - Eloise put on weight again yesterday - 290g, she know weighs 4120g! She was also diagnosed with silent reflux and she is now on Zoton granules to help. she is my little screamer, ill scream for hours because of the reflux, she on't lay flat. the only ay i can get her to sleep is in mine or Df arms and she co sleeps ith us at night. i can hardly put her don so now DF has gone bk to work this is going to be a challange holding her 24/7 and dealing with my other three kids getting them off to school etc... I can see we're going to have some late days...
On that note, I really shold go get ready... the screaming has started...
Cass blob - sorry to hear about the reflux. My DD had that as a bub and it made her (and subsequently everyone else) miserable. I am alittle concerned that Baz may have reflux, he is very perky and not happy about it, but so far not nearly as unsettled as DD was.
Koru - I could tell you all the tips for settling an unsettled bub, but the truth is I am not sure how helpfull they will be. sometimes a baby just will not settle no matter what.
Been lurking and meaning to post but by the time I get to it baby cries etc. You know how it is... Anyway
Sorry to hear that there are bubs with colds. I don't think it will be long before Immi gets one as DS is in daycare and constantly has a runny nose.
Cass - sorry to hear that bubs has reflux. Great weight gain tho, you must have been feeding her heaps despite the reflux. Noni - great that you have made the decision to FF full time. I think I'm getting to that point myself. Misty - my DH goes back to work on Monday. I'm lucky that DS is in daycare 4 days a week so it will be just me and the baby at home. I take my hat off to anyone with a baby and kids/toddlers at home. I'd go to the Dr sooner rather than later.
Hi to everyone else.
Got the MCHN coming to the house tomorrow for Immi's 4 week checkup. She put on nearly 300gr last week so I am hopeful that hweight gain this week will be just as good.
Can't believe my little girl is a month old already!
Thanks everyone for your suggestions re settling. I have come to the conclusion that Orla is just a normal baby and it's one of those things we have to live through Will try out some of the tips and see how we go....
Cass and Misty - sorry to hear about the reflux - that must be 10 times worse than a generally unsettled baby!
Have been too busy or shall i say too tired to get around to posting.
DS2 is 4 weeks old today and is piling on the weight, has put on 1 kg, and has grown 4.5cms since birth.
He has just finally started to settle more, as he has had a few wind issues the first few weeks, I altered my diet and changed my feeding position and it has made a huge difference! DS2 does still get a bit upset when doing a bowel movement, and he does these frequently! However as time progresses the scale of distress has decreased, thank goodness!
Koru- Sounds like orla is indeed a normal baby, I bet in a few weeks she will be much more settled.
Cass- Sorry to hear that Eloise has silent reflux, my BF's bub had that and it was a very distressing time for her. Hope the zantec works quickly, it did the trick with her bub. However she had months her bub screaming before someone actually diagnosed the problem.Her bub was a changed bub pretty much immediately.
Hi to everyone else, gotta go get dinner ready before bub wakes....
Hi All, I just sat down to write a nice post but my precious girl has just woken But was excited that I finally created a new ticker Hope everyone's bubs are settling into their family lives. Will be back to post properly later.
I am babysitting my nephew this weekend while my sister moves house from newcastle to canberra. It will be interesting, because as much as I love him, he can be a little brat. He is nearly 4, and lets just say that he's mother is much more 'easy-going' then I am when it comes to having rules and sharing. He already thinks I am the mean aunty, but at least that means he is more likely to listen to me then he does to others. And Jelly and Nate are loving having him here.
Baz is going well, but he isn't getting much sleep during the day. It is so noisy here with the other kids, that whenever I get him to sleep he gets woken up again. And of course he doesn't seem to sleep for very long if I try and put him down in his cradle or the snuggle bed - he wants to be held.
U did a great job trying hun...
