Bad bad night last night
Lach slept for 2.5 hours between 8.30 and 11, then he woke every hour to hour and a half..... I am exhausted. He doesn't seem at all unwell, or unhappy. He's his normal cheeky happy self. When he wakes, he doesn't really want to feed or anything... just has a very small snack, and then we can eventually get him off to sleep, but OMG, Adam and I have our eyes hanging out of our heads. I have no idea what has caused t his sudden change, but I am hoping it is only temporary
Anyway, I just thought I'd see if anyone else was having troubles with sleeping now? Thought maybe a growth spurt or soemthing to that effect, but I'll suss out how we go for the rest of the week.
cheers

Yes Nicky we are having lots of wake-ups. I think there is a tooth coming through today so I am putting it down to that at the moment, though really it could be any of million things.

Looks like it's quiet time again.
Jem, how was the concert? I haven't been to one in years. I think the last one was probably Bon Jovi goodness knows how long ago.
August, wish you heaps of luck with your relactating. I didn't even realise that was possible but good on you for going to the trouble.
Jan, I hope you enjoy your anniversary tomorrow. I know what you mean about going out being hard. We are going to leave Autie with my mum for the first time on Saturday so we can go out for lunch - a bit easier for us than dinner with the whole sleeping, waking, needing a feed to get back to sleep thing. Hope you're not worrying too much about the solids, he'll just surprise you one day probably.
Not a lot happening here apart from a tooth coming through and Autie standing up in her cot now. Dan is home today so we're going to look at cars over the next few days so that is a little bit exciting I guess. Oh, and Autie has discovered my nipple as a play thing. The first time she started flicking at it with her finger, I couldn't help laughing and now she thinks it's funny to do all the time.
Best get some dinner I guess. BBL if anyone is around.

Hi girls! This is just quick because i am watching Women's Murder Club so doing this in the ad! Just wanted to say hi and see how everyone is.
Sacha - what kind of car are you thinking of getting? I want a new one - being greedy because only got one before T was born! I can't believe Autumn is standing up in her cot. I will never get Tom to sleep when he does that!
Nicky - about a week or 2 ago we had a really really bad patch with Tom's sleeping. I was beside myself i was sooo tired. Not sure what was going on because no teeth have popped thru or anything although he is drooling like crazy. His sleeping has gone back to normal thankgod. I have heard they go a little crazy around this time because of all the new stuff they are learning and they cant settle properly.
Jan - Happy Anniversary and hope your family is all feeling better. Urggh - gastro. Yukky!
Opps better go - missing my show! Hi to everyone!
Hi all,
Just quickly popping in! Lucas has a cold so has been quite a sooky la la the past few days and just loves his mummy and daddy a bit too much!!! Poor little pickle!
Will come back tomorrow to catch up!
I hope you all get a good nights sleep, it seems the zzzzzzzz's are lacking!!
Night night

Hi all,
long time no post, so I'm sorry if I have missed any improtant times
AMM, all the best with the re-lactating
Jan, happy aniversary tomorrow, sorry to hear about the gastro. Xavier had an upset tummy, but not gastro and he has gone off food. he will eat apples though and I think we are making some head way but it's like we are starting from scratch with a couple of spoons and working our way up again.
Nicki, we have been going through something very similar for the last month or so and it is starting to improve, there are heaps of reason that I have considered that it might be MCHN suggested that Xav was missing me 'cause he didn't see me all day anymore and wanted to spend more time with me, I think he's been a little under the weather, plus has been farting like a trojan so I think he has had trouble with some foods, so we are cutting back, and he is kinda teething, trying to crawl, occasionally rolling over and really wants to sit up, so it's like he's building up to do everything at once and it's making him restless. Your mum was telling me Lach is rocking on all 4's a lot so maybe he really needs to crawl and it's making him unsettled??
Ok, well update on us.
Xavier hit 7 months yesterday, had our 6 month needles last week (had to wait for a night session) has been very unsettled lately, not too different to what some of you others have mentioned but as I said above it just feels like it's a combo of everything. My mum keeps saying we need to call this specialist lady they have locally to get us some help to settle him, which I find very insulting. I plan to just perserveer for a while, and I feel like I have made progress.
I have a few questions for you all, what's your bub drink breast or formula and how often are the drinking now?? Because he is a creche during the day he has stretched out the daytime feeds and kinda holds on until I pick him up. So the closest thing to normal we have is
about 3-4 am wake and feed then back to bed
7am ish wake and feed
hopefully followed by breakfast at about 7.30-745 ish
he generally wants to be fed again between 10-11am and will drink anywhere from 100-180ml of ebm
about halfway between this bottle and the next he has some lunch vegies usually
then around 2-3pm has another 100-180ml of ebm
we get home by about 5.45 when he goes strait on the boob, drains them and is still hungry so has some solids. Plays for a while then either wakes around 10pm for a feed or gets a dream feed in the vain attempt of mum getting more than 4 hours sleep in one hit.
Latley we have had a few extra night feeds thrown in, but that's about the gist of it all. Because I kow what I can get out when I express (now up to min of 200ml per session) I can guestemate that he is getting at least 700ml per day which i believe is normal.
and has anyone got any ideas how I can get my little boy back eating vegies. he was doning very well but he's a clever little cookie and he just won't eat them. yet offer him apple and the hatch opend up. at the moment I so want his tummy to be full at night so I can sleep that that's what he is having for tea. I tried cutting out the fruit on the weekend and seeing if he would give up and eat vegies and I'm talking like pumpkin, and carrots which are both on the sweeter side, and nope just refused and then mucked his night sleeping up again.
I have tried whole pieces, I have tried home made, and jars, I have tried mixing a litle apple in to sweeten it. I have tried returning to plain farex with ebm so thick milk basically and he wouldn't have a barr of it. Yet has not rejected me in anyway. now that he is 7 months I bought a more exciting flavoured jar to try 'cause I can't spen the energy on food that won't be eaten, but am now wary about trying it 'cause i'm worried this fussiness might have been cause by an upset tummy because a food didn't agree with him.
any who gotta go, gotta get up and work tomorrow. Gees I miss those mornings where xavier went back to sleep and I could too!!!
Take care all

HI everyone,
Have been MIA lately- have been really busy, have been popping in but not posting sorry!
Bit of a sselfish post tonight as I am really exhausted.
Kaetlyn hasnt been sleeping propperly- not settling at night- the latest she has settled has been 4.30AM!!!!!!!. We think she is teething but really arnt sure, she is showing all the signs, but we cant find any in her mouth.
We tried her on potato tongiht- mixed in with sweet potato and zuchinni, but she hated it, every mouthful was this horrid little face. I said to DH that it is funny that potato is the blandest vege and its the one she doesnt like. Ah well, I guess she likes broc and zucc which are the ones that people most hate!!
Okay am off to get some sleep- hopefully it will be an early night tongiht!

Hi girls,
Where is everyone?
Sacha - Oliver does the nipple flicking thing too! Drives me crazy. Good luck with your car hunting. How exciting, I love getting a new car!
Nicky - Oliver did that same thing on the weekend. It was a real shock to the system because he is usually a great sleeper. Hope tonight goes better for you guys!
Jan - you have to stop scaring me with all this girl talk!! lol. Happy Anniversary for tomorrow.
Jem - how was Kelly Clarkson? I like her.
Megan - hope Lucas gets better soon.
Well, Oliver is very close to crawling. He is up on all fours most of the day just rocking back and forth. I hate it. Ok, that sounds rediculous I know but I'm not coping with these milestones at all. I should be happy I know but I just don't want him to grow up so fast. I will just have to get over it though cause it's happening!
My mothers group is going well. We have 9 ladies now, with bubs aged from a few weeks to 3 years! I put a post on another forum (feel like I'm having an affair lol) and found some more from my area.
Hope all is well with everyone! Have a great night and hope those babies sleep!!
