Hi ladys just thougth i would pop in n say hi
I have a lil Man Bayleigh matheu who was born 24th july 07
He has only slept through the night 2 in 8 months and im starting to pull my hair out i have contact my health nurse to discuss sleep school but i cant ge tin ot see health nurse till next month... He goes to bed about 8pm wakes at 1130 and from then on its every hour on the hour so im not managering very much sleep at night
Has anyone got any ideas i can try on how to get him to sleep more??????????
I never had this problem with my daughter as she slept through the night from the time she was 2 days old

Well on a happier note.... bayleigh crawls everywhere and now walks along the furniture has stood alone for about 40 secs and has learnt how to climb
Caught him ontop of the coffee table last week and on good friday caught him tryin to climb the dining room chair and have fotos of him tryin to climb the TV cabinet ...... he is goin to be sooooo much trouble when he is actaully walking lol

well i hope everyone had a great easter and a safe one if you went away

Thanks for that Mel, I forgot teething can do that to them.

Welcome Sarah and Bayleigh! What a nice name for a little boy. Is he BF or FF? What is his feeding like? Is he on solids? Could he be windy? Cold? Waking up from some noise? How is his sleeping during the day? Just asking to get a general idea and so may be able to help you out! Looking forward to getting to know you and your little man more. My DS was born two days before on the 22nd July.

Have not been for that walk and swim yet, been procratinating and playing video games.

Hi thanks for the welcome
um Bayleighs FF He has between 3-4 250ml bottles a day as he has solids 3 times a day breakfast, lunch , dinner... He's not windy... We live in mildura and at da moment no chance of him getting cold LOL if anything he could be gettin hot but we have aircon goin in da hallway n fan on low in his room n blowing in diff direction to him as to not have it blowing on him... Through the day he sleeps pretty well he'll have a 2-3 hour sleep in the morning n sumtimes have a 2 hour sleep in the afternoon but not very often... its just strange as he wakes at da same times every nite ...

Sounds like he is eating and day sleeping like a champion. Have you tried a dreamfeed? Where you feed him late in the evening (without waking him) before he wakes up, say at 10.30pm? It might only prolong his sleeping for a couple of more hours but it may be a couple more for you which would be great! Aim to cut out one night waking at a time, its less pressure on you to get him to 'sleep through'. Maybe a cuddly might help? If he misses you and wants your company maybe a blanket or toy (wear it down you top for awhile so it smells like you!) might help him settle or self settle if he wakes?

august moon: bayleigh does have a cuddly toy he sleeps with i used to spray my perfume on it(not directly on it) but i think the last time i washed it ( 2 weeks ago) i havent sprayed it... so im thinking the smell isnt the problem as he's been waking every hour for atleast the last 6 months..... but i mite try the dream feed like you suggust and see if that has any effect on his sleeping

Becca: Hi , bayleigh was a winter baby born 24th july he hated the cold when he was a new bub.. the heat doesnt seem to bother him but i cant say that i have had him out in the heat for huge amount of time as on really hot days i stay home under the air con

Hi everyone,

I went and saw my nephew's bub today. Such a precious little man, soooo tiny but so perfect. He is still doing well, but it's still one day at a time. It will be a long road. Bub's born that early usually don't get to go home until around their due dates. I knew he was going to be tiny but I was not prepared for how small he actually is. I got to be there when he had his first bit of colostrum - 1/2 a ml!!! I was really happy to see that, go the mamma's milk!!!

OLIVER IS CRAWLING!!! And he is loving it! Not me though - time to babyproof the house! First thing he went for was the DVD's! He is saying dad-dad constantly, to everyone! Oh and he has started crawling at the exact same time that Lexxen did.

Rebecca - Yay on Xaviers sleep! You are doing such a wonderful job still bfeeding while working full time!

smcgt - Hello and welcome to our group!

Jess - for Ethan standing on his own. Geez some of these July babies are so advanced! lol at your inlaws getting him a big football egg! At least you will have a nice supply of chocolate.....

Well it's taken me ages to write this as I have stopped and started about 20 times!! Hello to everyone that I have missed. Be back tomorrow to catch up on some more posts.
