Oh wouldnt it be lovely if they could work out which end of the dummy goes in the mouth. Ella sucks all around it and by that time is awake.
Her night sleeps are just out the window these days. Waking up every 30mins after busting out of the wrap and flinging the dummy away or crying because she can find which way goes in the mouth. (while still holding it in her hand). Last night after waking at 4.30 i went in to find she'd escaped her wrap and had pulled her blanket over her head. She was crying cause she couldnt get out!!!! It scared me. Next week we're going to ease her out of her wrap and look at getting one of those grobags.
Well she had her shots yesterday and they went well. (didnt cry just whimpered) but when we weighed her she had lost weight! My GP said "oh that's why she cant sleep - she's starving". I felt like the WORST MOTHER ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET. I was in tears last night and just couldnt sleep either.
I thought she was getting enough. She was breastfeeding and sometimes not having both boobs and she was on 3 solid meals. I guess she was spreading her feeds out thinking she could feed during the night. But i was popping the dummy back in when i should have been feeding. (AGAIN FEELING SO GUILTY.)
There are so many issues...i've gotta just deal with it one at a time. I've been ranting since last night so i should probably just chill out and deal with her weight first...Its just that after 2months of sleepless nights i'm about to lose it!
