Babies Born September 2006 #8

Nelle- Xander only wakes once during the night now (between 9pm and 4am) so definately need a decent nappy with all those wee's! I'm using either the hemp or bamboo BBH's.. the bamboo is a lot better at night. Will be starting to use the stash of wool soakers soon too.
Hope you had a great sleep!

Grrrr- my turn to get somewhat peeve'd. Last night, (like you Nelle!) I was really engorged so I expressed. Xander was asleep at the time, but he woke just as I was finished.... well, rather than DH offering to do the feed/nappy change and me head off to bed for an early one, DH just went to bed leaving me to bottle feed and settle Xander!!!! I'm also getting a tad bit annoyed that I pretty much always have to ask DH to take Xander for a cuddle, and then DH will only just get him and plonk him onto the couch next to him like he is a stuffed toy IFYWIM? I tell him Xander wont like just being ignored like that, then DH gets all "I dunno what to do, go back to Mummy" when he does cry.

Maz - Best of luck with the needles today! Your getting two (kids) done aren't you?

Hooray! Ashleigh only woke once overnight. Couldn't believe ut. She finally settled at 10pm, after numerous times on the booby. She was driving me bonkers, she'd pull herself off and then start carrying on cause it wasn't in her mouth! Anyways she slept from 10 til 4am, never gone that long, then slept til 7:30. Yay!

Nelle- you are so lucky having Dh bring bubs into you. My Df doesn't, he slept all night with his ear plugs in slept in til just now and then tonight is his "boys night". Be nice for me to have a night off or a good sleep in.

Anna**- Some men are funny with babies they don't know what to do. Df is pretty good now he will chat to her and sing silly songs. Df used to suddenly find he needs to do something important when she starts carrying on so he can handball her over to me. I did pick up on it though and pointed that out to him so now when she cries he does try to settle her but looks sooo relieved if I take her.

Jodi-Lee- I hope things settle down for you soon, is she getting enough at feeds? Hugs to you and I hope Heath gets off his butt and helps you out a bit more.
