Glad you had a good b'day Beatrix :) No help here for sleeping unswaddled none of my 4 would ever sleep swaddled they hated it.
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Willow- we have done it!! The last 3 nights no swaddle!!! Last night even managed to get from 9-3 in her cot!! (mind you she did stir and need her dummy back in plus a little pat 2-3 times in that time) but its still success in my eyes
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
:hooray: Success for sure!! I'm jealous we still get multiple wake ups, pats are like you're poking her with a sharp stick or something and even getting up to walk and bounce instead of offering boob only leads to her being wide awake and thinking it's play time. She has just cut her 6th tooth and I think is straight on to number 7 :wall:
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Oh dear Willow doesn't sound pleasant.
Why is it you pass one hurdle and straight onto the next? We are having breast refusal now. Screams, hits and pushes me away when ever I offer it to her :( even though she is clearly hungry.
Last night I ended up having to get up express 180ml which she drank in less then 5 min and went to sleep for 7hrs straight after it.

I know Beatrix if it's not one thing it's another!! That sounds very frustrating.
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Is anyone's baby crawling yet?
Zoe isn't even close I don't think. She refuses to bed her knees or put any weight on them when I put her in the crawling position.
I know I shouldn't compare but her cousin who is 3 weeks older has been crawling for 3 months and cruising furniture while Zoe just sits there.
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
No crawling here Bea, so dont worry. I just think Wilder is a very happy and content baby who is fine to just sit back and enjoy life happening around him.
We have to remember that Z and W have three older siblings who theyll likely rely on to do things for them ;)
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Georgia is almost crawling. Almost meaning she can and has but spends more time whinging than concentrating on doing it again. She is up on all fours, she can get from her belly back to sitting up. She has crawled twice to get to me and a toy when she wasn't thinking about it. It's like she over thinks it or something then just cries until you go get her.
She never stays still so look out when she finally works it out properly!
It's hard not to compare, my first two boys seemed to hit all their milestones, sitting, crawling and walking pretty early. G and DS3 have been different. DS3 is still what I would say a little behind with his gross motor skills but he has a better vocab than my 19 year old :lol: G seems very switched on too, but not on the move yet, she is going to be a force to be reckoned with I think.
Is anyone else having poo issues? Poor G has just decided she loves food the last few weeks but is having a lot of trouble pooing now :( She's been in so much pain, only when she is actually trying to poo. The rest of the time she seems fine, no hard belly or anything. None of my others had this issue they just ate and pooed no problems. The odd one off bout of too much banana blockage but not just from the introduction of solids. It's heartbreaking when she cries and clings onto you looking at you like 'Make it stop' :cry:
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Willow- Zoe is a terrible pooper!!
We have to do prunes daily. I get a pitted prune add boiling water to it and mash it then I add her wheatbix. She has to have this daily or she doesn't poop.
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
So Bea is she in pain to poo? G's frequency has slowed since solids but I figured that could be just because they are harder to digest than breastmilk, it's just that she cries in pain when she poos, it's so sad. I thought about getting prunes for her too actually, do you think they help it to be not so painful? The first few she did she cried while going even though they weren't even formed stools just thicker mush than usual lol ...Oh the lovely conversations of the parents of babies :p
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
She was in pain.. but thats because she wasnt go regularly. Even on solids would only go every 4 or so days and it was extremely hard and dry. But since doing daily prunes she is now a daily pooper and they are much softer
Re: Babies Born ~ April 2013 #2
Hi Everyone. I've been reading posts to catch up. Glad everyone is doing well. Logan is growing so quickly. My hefty almost 12kg baby is rolling and rocking on alk fours trying to crawl. Not quite there yet. He popped his first tooth last weekend.
