This will probably be a quick one as Dylan sleeping but will probably wake soon.
We have had an ok week still got the settling issues and now he has started waking earlier in the night like 10.30 last night though I resettled and 11.30 the night before and that time I couldn't resettle so I fed him and he then slept til 7 which is pretty good. I am having trouble settling during the day and night. I have introduced a bottle of formula at the dinner feed so I am hoping this may help perhaps he is too hungry to settle. We are booked into Oconnell which is a family unit but not until the 29th of Jan and this is for a day stay and I have tried to call a couple of the private centres but they are hard to contact. I also bought Sleep Like a Baby by Pinky McKay and have been reading this and it is good so far though am only up to the newborn bits so will have to read quicker.
It is a hot one here in Melbourne today and all hazy from the fires. Tomorrow we are going to two picnics one for our nephews 9th birthday and the other is a tradtional yearly chrissy do with some friends of ours it will be nice for all the babies to be there and see each other.
KMH I am in Melbourne and it would be great if the other girls could come and visit.
Mads I am relived to find a new home for Lily but have felt quite a few pangs of regret and there has been quite a few tears this week oh well she is better we had not much time for her anymore and she was quite a needy thing. Yes I also hear you on the DH ruining your hard work issue, DH turns on the light to resettle Dylan aarrggghhh that really annoys me and he also shoves the dummy in whenever even when Dylan doesn't need it.
Fee Cooper is so cute and cheeky looking. Dylan is getting more mobile in his cot but not quite that mobile. The excercises for rolling are you lie them on their back and hold one leg down and take the other leg and do a rolling motion and I go one two three and on the third one I push him over onto his front and then he has to work out how to get his arm out and I do it both sides. Another one from Gymbaroo is put bubs on your bed at one end and do a rolly polly all the way to the other end and then swap sides so they roll clockwise and anti clockwise.
Bubs See above for rolling excercises. On the sleeping issue I have unwrapped Dyan as he is wanting his arms out and also it is getting a bit hot. I am introducing a bottle at night now so hoping this works on the settling issue. Basically I now have to rock him to drowsiness and then put him down otherwise he cries and cries. I used to be able to put him down awake and then go in to put the dummy back in and he would go to sleep but not anymore.
