Oh love, sleep deprivation sux. I would just try and ride it out while he is sick. Like you say, there is no point trying to fix anything when he is unwell. IT will get better.
When its been happeneing for a few nights you feel like '**** this is what it is going to be like forever!' But then a few days down the track he will improve out of sight and it will all seem like a bad dream.
Not that that makes you feel any better right now, but when he is feeling himself his sleep will get better too.
I guess it could also be seperation anxiety, he knows this is the long stint where mummy is going to leave him, again the lovey that smells like you might help..... just thinking outloud
Yeah dont get me started on MG women and their germs. One bought her bub who had been at the RCH on Sunday for his long standing viral cough to MG???? What are some people thinking? seriously. The same woman had a cold and got a big dollop of sugary cream/custard on her finger and fed it to Lu? Again....WTF???? anyhooo, i'll stop ranting now.
Oh in regards to getting Lu off the boob, she did protest ALOT and it took a while, but she got the hang of it. I never held her jaw or anything, i just took her off when she was drowsy and rocked her, then if she was upset put her back on and started again. It doesnt always work but i can rock her to sleep 8/10 times now.
**** ange!
i just can't believe that.why would you turn up when your childhad been at the rch on sunday!!! i can't believe that.
the worst part is that i was supposed to have it at my house last week but rang everyone and cancelled cos L had been sick since the mg the weekbefore and dp refused to let that particular mother come to our house. so i rang everyone and cancelled- ijust didn't want to risk l seeing that baby again. then the next day i went to my friend's place so our babies could play and she just randomly came around to my friend's place with her sick, coughing kid! we couldn't believe it.i kept lewis on my lap the whole time and wouldn't let him play with her dd. so friggin angry!
yes i have left a lovey with him.he ignores it..
anyway, how are you feeling? have you hadascan yet? sorry about my typing, i have no spacebar!
ha, i type like that and i have a space bar!
No scan yet, will see OB @ 10 weeks. (Was thinking of popping into mum's work and having a little look, but that's a bit naughty! )
Some people are just so selfish, or maybe they really dont think about it? dunno, but drives me nuts. Keep ya nasty germs to yourself!
Sorry i can't be more helpful. Hope you are napping in the day, and getting as much sleep as you can.
rainy - how are you typing without the space bar?
sorry for all of the questions - just trying to gather all the information - would love to help you have a good night sleep. Do you put L down to sleep at night in his cot or in your bed?
