Hi everyone
I think the reason our litle man was so unsettled last week was a combinatin of a 6 week growth spurt, weather of 30 to 41 degrees for a week, and reflux that made him so unsettled. The last few days he has been much better. We have 2 more 40 degree days coming up, which I am not looking forward too, particularly as we have to go in the car for my 6 week check up with the obgyn. He just seems to get so hot in his car seat, no matter how high we have the air con on. Does anyone have any suggestions on this?
The new parents group (mothers group) being run through our local council is so overwhelmed with new mums that they told me last week that they couldn't fit me in the current group,and that I would have to wait until March to start. I was not at all imprssed when I was told this. Luckily for me DH was with me and he said that was not acceptable, and that we needed support and that we were to be in the current group. MCHN then left the room to speak to the other MCHN, and when she came back she said that I could go into the current group, which starts on 16 Jan. Yay!! I am a very social person, and have really been looking forward to starting with a mothers group ( very annoyed at the Christmas delays). Will be great to meet some new mums who live near me, and enjoy our babies together.
Krisp- it sees that we have the same babies!! My DS is fine in his bainet overnight- waking 1-2 times for feeds. But he really doesnt like sleeping in it during the day. At the moment am I just working around this problem, letting him sleep in his rocker, his pram, the car, the baby bjorn. I will try at least once a day to get him to sleep in his basinet, but if he kicks up too much of a stink, I am not pushing it too hard. Ithink as he gets a bit older, I will start to try a bit more. Just not very good at doing the whole leaving him to cry thing ATM.
Other than that DS has almost hit 4.5kg, and is now 57cm long.
Anyway better had off to get some sleep now, as I am sure DS will be awake in a few hours for a feed.
