Em - I usually wait for about 5 minutes give or take. I have read bits about the controlled crying technique and that's what they say but if she becomes too histerical I go in earlier. I too let her cry at times like if I need to put the dishwasher on or doing something quite quickly. I don't think you are a terrible mum - you just got to do what you got to do!!
I just got a call from the car yard - my car will be ready on Friday!! YAY!!!
em- what i have been doing latley is when Charlotte starts to crack it i wrap her and then put her in her bed, sometimes she will cry and then i will normally go in after a few mins put her dummy back in and walk out, then she will normally lay there for about 15-30mins until she slowly goes to sleep, have been doin this and it works really well, during the day she can sleep up to 2:30-3 hrs, and then at night she will go about 6 hrs.
Bubs- in regards to tounge tie, i really don't know, i am getting it done so there will be no problems with speach later on, my MCHN said that some children don't need it done and the skin between the tounge will strech.
Fee- did you do a roll over feed?
Having a good day, i think Madison is trying to drop her afternoon sleep though i will keep putting her into bed as i ahve been told they should drop it about 3 years of age, she will normally just pl;ay and look at some books., when to target and got some nappies today as they were on special.
Has anyone thought what they are going to get their babies for Christmas, i have no idea.
Having a lovely week. Had mothers group on Monday which was fun. Saw one girlfriend yesterday with her 3 month old daughter we had a walk and lunch in a cafe and a look at the shops. Then today had my dear friend who is 15 weeks pregnant come over and we went out for lunch and a look at the shops and we always have great chats about pregnancy, babies and childrens issues so that was great. Haven't had Dylan's immunisations done as yet have put it off til next week.
Em I think it depends on whether it is daytime or nighttime when this is happening. In the daytime I let Dylan sleep as long as he will usually between 20mins to an hour and then get him up. During the night though I try to get him to resettle if I believe he does not need a feed.
Anyway baby crying in the background so no more time for here!
Cooper hardly had any sleep yesterday. About 2 hours around 9.00 am to 11.00 am. That was it! I could not get him to sleep after any of his other feed/play sessions. I hate days like that. I just don't understand why he won't sleep. It's obvious he is tired. I see the signs and try to put him in his cot but he just cries. But then he'll sleep on me!
He slept well last night though – just his usual. Feed him around 5.00 pm, 1.30 am and 5.45 am. And he settles perfectly every time. Don't understand why he can't do this during the day. What's the difference?!
Bubseykel – Hope you and Danielle are feeling better.
Fraser – Good question about the waking during light sleep. I think this is what happens with Cooper sometimes. On the days I can actually get him to sleep in his cot, he often wakes up just an hour later – way too early for his next feed. I usually pick him up. Maybe he's still tired and just needs to be patted or something? I've got no idea. Feel like I don't have a clue lately. So frustrating.
kmh – Nah I haven't tried the rollover feed yet. I am not 100% sure if I want to! I think I'll have trouble staying awake until 10.00 pm though… we'll see!
Cassie – Sounds like you are having a great week. Very nice!
