It's amazing how tuned in to new things you become after having a baby. I was in our local shopping centre yesterday and saw a mother with a pram panicking that she'd lost her toddler. I nearly cried there and then with her (thinking what if it happened to me) and couldn't relax until her little boy was found several minutes later.
Sarina is now 6 weeks old and has had a strange week this week. She's had a couple of really unsettled days where she couldn't sleep from 10am until around 8pm - no naps at all - alternating with a really good textbook baby day - sleep for at least an hour, feed happily and play for a while....and then dropping off to sleep easily.
It's was so hard when she didn't sleep at all. Last evening she slept on my chest for a couple of hours and made some really painful screaming cries but in her sleep.
Does anyone else's little one scream out in their sleep?
She also was a really 'efficient' feeder (quick to jump on, feed well then jump off) until about 4 days ago and has started to get really sleepy at each feed and taking twice as long. Not sure why she's changed - has anyone else had that experience?
