Hi Ladies,
Just a quick post inbetween housework and Kindy pick ups.
Lachlan is going great guns, Stewart is working stupid hours at work and is never home . which is driving me insane as i am having to do everything on my own.
Lachlan is starting to get into a habit of feeding around 8pm then going down till 5 in the morning, although he does try and sneak in extra feeds during the day to make up for it. Yesterday i left him at home with Stewart for a few hours, he had a bottle of ebm and gulped it down. But i think he was still hungry and missed his catch up feed so last night he woke at 2 am for a feed. ah well we will get there. He is growing like crazy though .
well take care all i am going to use the peice and quiet to get a few things one while Lachlan is asleep
Hope everyone is going well and bubs are sleeping well.
Poor Reaghan and I have both had the flue, she still is not sleeping well and still wont sleep in her bassinet, it worked for a week and that was it. Day times are getting hard as to get her to sleep I have to bounce her in the bouncer and when I stop she wakes up so cant leave her. Going to try some tuff love soon as trying the peacefull ways are not working.
She is getting better today and we are having or 6 week checkup on Thursday will be interesting to see what she weighs and how much she has grown.
Hey everybody,
Just a quick post before Riley wants his bottle (so know what you mean about the temper tantie when the bottle isn't delivered promptly Taznbondy!!) The little man is going so well, full of smiles. I dont know about everyone else but I could sit there all day pulling silly faces just to see those beautiful smiles!
Went for our check up with the community nurse, told her that Riley seems to be getting alot of wind and she told me that all the signs of wind can also be signs of being over tired and that he needs to be sleeping more. Problem is he sleeps for a little while then wakes up crying and pulling his little legs up, im pretty sure thats wind!!! Anyway i have put him on infacol drops and it seems to be helping, he is now sleeping a lot better and getting into a better feed play sleep routine during the day which is always nice!
Tan, glad Lochie is feeling better, its so horrible to see them in pain and not be able to do anything for them.
Sweetpea, think im getting the flu too so I know how you feel, just hope i dont pass it onto bubby. Hope your little one starts sleeping better for you.
Anyway take care all, hope everyone gets plenty of sleep!!
Argh - I have been awake since 4am thanks to Darrens alarm clock and Bella's grunting!
At 4am on the dot Darren's alarm started bleeping away only to be turned to snooze, not once, not twice, not even three times, but four! By the second round of beeps I was awake and so was Bella, but our favourite man was still stubbornly avoiding conciousness.
Sure I feel for him. I mean he has to get up early - and no one in their right mind actually enjoys being up before the sparrow has even considered farting... but really!
I did the night feeds. It is meant to be an unspoken law that when your breastfeeding partner and baby are in bed beside you, you make every effort to get your @rse out of bed like a shot to ensure that they can slumber for 5 minutes longer!
But NO. I was the silly one who was up cooking him breakfast this morning before the frost had even settled on the grass.
Bella has since decided that she doesn't want to go back to sleep. Porsha is due to be up in not very long at all, and I have the most horrendous cough post head cold that I can remember.........Oh and did I mention that I just needed to vent?
Jules - what sort of news are you reading at 2am? Unless you are fluent in Russian I can not imagine that anything exciting is happening at that time of the day!
i feel for u naomi!!! i dont know what id do if i couldnt sleep thru DH alarm and the constant snooze and alarm going off but i do and so does alyssa. however a few times now alyssa has woken around alarm time for a feed so its good timing i suppose! (but still nothing like 4am!)
weve had some sleepless days here.. alyssa likes to fall asleep while feeding and sleep in my arms, if i put her down she wakes up. so id spent all last week doing that up till after the midday feed and then go shopping for 4-6hrs straight(id walk down the street and back, BUT i swear its rained for 2 weeks straight and forecast is another week of rain! ARGH!!!!!!!), as she likes to sleep in the pram if its moving... ah least the baby bonus is put to good use! ROFL!
I feel like she is feeding ever hour or two for 5-30mins and sleeping for 20-30mins in my arms or 10-15mins if i put her down. (its just sooo damn confusing!!)
yesterday i tried waking her every time she fell asleep while feeding, made sure she burped to kingdom come and then put her down in the bassinette for the pram (which was on the floor in front of me) it worked better, up till DH came home and dinner time.. dinner time up till 9-10pm is her big unsettled time. Once she goes down tho its nice when she wakes for a 3am feed and then again at 7am! cant complain about that!! Shes fine thru the night, but a grump thru the day!
the cat or kitten is in heat again too.. (im the one who wants it desexed) and theres now a tom in the area and he gets under our house and calls ALL FREAKING DAY!!!! id love a word or 2 with whoever owns him, as its driving me bonkers.. im glad it doesnt wake/keep me awake.. much to exhausted i guess! (theres only 1 place where he can get in under the house, but i blocked it up last time and then heard him under there and had to unblock it.. so maybe its even sleeping down there now?!!)
Just had to share this gem. Bella and I had a bath together last night and she was so happy that she wanted to gurgle the whole time. This is the first time that we have been quick enough with the camera to almost catch a real smile......but true to form Bella stuck her tongue out just at the moment that the flash went off.
Jules I am currently trying a homeopathic drop, but was told yesterday that if you use Infacol and Infants Friend together it works wonders - apparently. Something about one releasing the entrapment better and the wind.
As for the diet, I haven't changed mine, but they say windy foods are sugary foods, so if you are going to have sugary foods - do this in the morning as apposed to the afternoon. Even foods like corn and peas are apparently sugary, so try to avoid these vegies at night time meals.
