You are NOT NOT NOT a bad mum Hollye, we had the same night. I need to get new bottles for Bethany to help her wind.
You are NOT alone and you are NOT a bad mum!!!
Hear hear - you are NOT a bad mum! Neither of you are! And Infacol is truly the best thing on this sweet earth. It may be that I have lost my sense of perspective... but honestly it is SO worth trying it if your sweet child suddenly turns into a grizzling nightmare. Or if your grizzling unsettled nightmare of a sweet child has always been unsettled. Or if you want to. Ok I'm waffling now. Must go wrap some more pressies
I have this sudden urge to be watching Anne... Amy that's your influence
I have been watching Anne and wrapping pressies, and finishing thank you notes, and getting photos ready to post to distant relatives...I feel a sense of accomplishment!! Put Anne on you can do anything with Anne Had to fast forward Matthew's death, still too post natal to watch that! LOL
Did you know you can have the soundtrack? I downloaded it from a friend, I can enjoy the music whenever I want, I am going to use it tonight for Bethany's sleeping music!! Or would that be brainwashing?? mmmm
Poor Maya's a little grizzly now and keeps wanting to be attached to my boobs. I checked her temp and it's normal, so maybe she's just sore or feeling unwell.
Hollye -You are not a bad mum! Sometimes babies are just unsettled and no one can find a reason!
thanks girls. It just gets to them times where im like "omg i just cant do this anymore". Lastnight i ended up going outside and closing the door so i couldnt hear her. I only left her for about a minute but i needed a breather. I then went back into her, gave her cuddles and tried to get her to sleep again. It was like a merry go round!
but.... today has been very successful so far. I think i have worked out a routine. As her feeds were coming around the same time, im sticking with that. She feeds 10:30am, 2:30pm, 6:30pm, 10:30pm, 2:30am (she usually sleeps through this one) and 6:30am. Hopefully we can stick with that. Today it has been successful so fingers crossed!
Ive added more recent pics of Mia in my gallery too!
Hollye: Jude has a sort of routine, too. He likes to be fed around 2am, 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 9pm. I just realised that's 7 feeds a day, no wonder I feel literally drained. I wish i could convince him to drop a feed.
I'm thinking of trying this infacol. I don't have any baby meds in the house, I'm not sure I'm the best person to diagnose what Jude needs, but he has been crying and screaming today from around 11am and hasn't slept much or for very long stretches. He's in bed now, please let him stay asleep for a while.
Itsme: I like your handle! I think it's witty and clever.
Belfie: You have 2 lovely names, your real name and your nickname. Both suit you perfectly but I like Belfie because it sounds like belfry as in "bats in the ..."
PP: Anne is Anne of Green Gables. I think I've seen it but 'The Princess Bride' is my go-to movie when I need to relax. I only own it on VHS, I need it on DVD.
Maya has now been sleeping a lot during the day - an effect of the immunisations I assume. I don't know whether to wake her or not for a feed. I don't think she's eaten enough today but maybe she needs the sleep?!? Any suggestions??
Though I must say it is kinda nice having her sleep in the afternoon and into the evening for once!
Hollye - I've noticed Maya is in a routine with her feeds now too. Although it still can vary on some days. I had a look at the new Mia pics. She is so adorable! I keep thinking how funny it is because our second choice of name was Mia and second name would have been Anne! We nearly named our daughter exactly the same!
PP - They are talking about Anne of Green Gables. How's the routine going?
Itsme - If it were me, I'd let her sleep - she'll probably just want a huge feed when she does wake. X slept for longer than usual after his immunisations and seemed to be just fine when he woke, and slept well that night also.
