Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't been around. Having a terrible time settling this baby of mine. He is thankfully ok at night time. Feeds about 11pm, 2am, 5am but goes back to sleep ok. Through the day it is a different story. He can be up from 7am to 9pm with one sleep on a bad day. And that sleep is generally in the baby bjorn only. He doesn't seem to have wind and pretty sure he isn't hungry. He just refuses to sleep no matter what I try. He is so so alert and even if he falls asleep wakes 10 mintes later. He tends to go to sleep much better for people other than me though. He seems to smell the milk or something and keeps trying to feed. I have tried constantly feeding him and that doesn't help either. He is also putting on 350g a week and I know he isn't actually hungry - he acts differently when he is.

My 3 yo is also being very demanding so I am mentally and physically exhausted at the moment. I am going to borrow a friends rocking swing and see if that helps. Hopefully this will pass as he gets older. I don't remember it being this bad first time round.

Sorry no personals. I thought he had gone to sleep but - nope awake already.

bye...

ps. my birth story is in birth stories if anyone is interested. It already seems so long ago.
