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.
Zander was sleepy for the afternoon as well if that helps.
Giselle has her christmas concert (read : 3 songs) at child care tomorrow arvo - she doesn't go on Fridays but I will still pick Riley up from school and we will go so she can be in it - how cute!
Then the obligatory Santa photo on Saturday
kuraiza - don't you have any paracetomol in the house for bubs? If nothing else, I would definitely recommend it. I remember I had nothing and then the first night Riley was around 3 months and cried from 10pm till morning (so it felt - it was ears) - oh to have had some paracetomol that night! Another good one to buy and just put away is Bonjela cos when they start teething it happens just out of the blue and it can provide them with some relief.
Personally I don't buy Panadol I buy the Dymadon - my other two chucked up panadol - I think cos its a runny type liquid in those awful strawberry vanilla or something flavours LOL. My kids have taken the Dymadon one (orange flavour and much pleasanter smelling if you spill some on your clothes, or they puke later in your hair) Same ingredients, just presented differentl.
Just put Z to bed, he was so tired tonight - unlikely to see him again until the early hours I would think ... hope .... pray ....
Bethany doing marathon sleeps too, just the affect of the jabs I think.
I could go a sleep too.
Off to have dinner then BED!
I love the princess bride, lost my copy should buy it on DVD but Anne was great
Maya woke up about 5 mins after I asked whether I should wake her or not! So she's now had a good feed, a bit of play and is in bed again - hopefully for the night!
