Hi everyone,
so sorry I've been out of the loop for a while - things have been getting on top of me a little - I'm the other one in LoriRae's mummy's group whose baby doesn't sleep thru. So glad to know we're normal... Been reading Elizabeth Pantley's no-cry sleep solution & her comment it that it's a bit weird that altho most babies don't sleep thru just yet, they're classed as the 'bad' ones with the problem!!!
I haven't been able to keep up with everyone's posts, but promise to do so from now on.
Just to throw a comment into the mix, we tried solids, but after 2 days DD was like 'whatever' on the rice cereal & BM. I think the cheeky monkey didn't want it because of the BM which she won't take in ANYTHING but the BB. I made it up one day on water, but how BORING. will wait another week or so & mix with sweet potato.
Hey Janine, know what you mean about the bottle. We've tried everything, including the Lindam one you can release the pressure with, & DD just won't play ball. This despite taking a bottle from around 3 wks old. We're trying the cup thing, which she is getting used to, however, she doesn't like the milk from it, just the water. My situation's not so serious as yours as I'm only working 1 day & DH will be able to bring DD to my work for a lunch time feed now we have our car back...
Dunno if you'll have better luck with a cup? There's a good Heinz Baby Basics one with a soft spout (no ouchies) or we're using a tiny tupperware container (about the same size as a medicine cup, only softer plastic). Good luck.
Congrats everyone on all the wonderful things your babies are doing. Hope everyone gets a good sleep tonight. We're going out to dinner (gasp) so am hoping DD stays asleep for the MIL. If not, cuddles never hurt anyone!
