Hollye - My mothers group starts in January as well and there is also a local playgroup that is at the same place we go to see the MCHN. I can't wait to get out and meet some mums and bubs from around here. Most of my friends live about 40mins away and don't come to visit very often. So I understand when you say how lonely it is.
yes Ashley still has a little of the runs last night... nothing this morning.... fingers crossed
Ethan is tired (from being up all night no wonder!!!).
MOthers groups are great - especially for those with bubs the same age!
Hollye - It's amazing how much happier babies are after a good sleep! I just wish it was easier to get them to sleep when they need it!
Well I'm already having a bad day. Last night we finally got Maya to go to sleep around 8.30pm. Then she woke at 10.30pm, 2am and 6am. Normally she goes back down for a sleep in the morning, but she didn't want to sleep, so I figured that she needed some play time. But she kept crying no matter what I did! I finally fed her again at 8.30am. Normally by that time I've done two feeds not three! Then she was yawning heaps so I tried putting her down for a sleep and I kept having to go to her every few minutes!
I don't know how any of you manage to settle your babies in their beds! If I try and settle her in bed she just gets louder and louder! So I always have to pick her up and walk around for ages till she goes back to sleep!
And I find it so hard when she's crying a lot. I start to question everything - is she hungry again? Is she over tired? Does she need play time? Should I persist with trying to put her to bed or play with her or feed her?! I often wonder if I'm doing the wrong thing and that's why it's a battle to get her to sleep!
Ah she's awake again.. gotta go. Hope everyone else is having better days so far!
Hollye my older three boys have all had heinz nuture and they had no problems, no constipation or anything. That's also great that you got to go for a walk, I've also got to lose about 30kgs, but would be happy with 20.
Going to go out later and get a christmas tree and some advent calendars for the older boys, also just to get out and have a look at the shops.
PP.. just a question RE:- ethan's tummy sleeping...
with the monitor, the sensor pads go 'under' the matress right?? do you have an inner spring matress in his cot, using the sensor pads?? and did you have to place plywood on the cot for the sensor pads to go on???
kat - i didnt place plywood down as the slats were quite wide and it covered one slat.
I tested it out lightly pressing the vast corners of the mattress and it detected it fine.
It is the thicken innerspring mattress yes.
yay - i think i am getting a motorised swing for DS!!!!!! woohooooooo
I am having such an exhausting day. DD just won't sleep!! But I did a feed at 2.30pm and she fell asleep on my breast. She has now slept for about 15 mins. So I'm still sitting on the couch with her sleeping on me. I don't want to move cos I know she needs any sleep she can get and I'm sure I'll wake her if I try and get up! Luckily I can reach my laptop, otherwise I'd be stuck on the couch with nothing to do!
