Reflux has mostly disappeared here but I am fairly certain DS reacts badly to dairy and definitely to caffeine. He's already showing signs of teething the poor darling and has nipped me a few times. Still cat napping (20mins) and longest night stretch is 3hours usually but honestly it's not bothering me this time around. He is such a delightful baby, he absolutely melts me. He rarely cries, tons of smiles, giggling the last few days and totally lights up when he looks at his Mumma. As I do him.
I have heard about SOS but I've never read it. I found reading or googling with my DD really stressed me, as i would try something and it wouldn't work making me feel like I had failed. I'm just going with our flow this time.
How are you and your DS going turtledove? Still rolling around?
Rosie, glad the reflux is better, and hope you've adjusted to the new diet. Sounds like the pressure to give formula has passed, and you'll be bfeeding until he is two the smiles at this age are gorgeous, aren't they? have the runny poos settled down?
Thanks for that encouragement. There is some good tips in the book, like dressing baby warmly enough at night and communicating with baby, but as for the rest, I think I'll leave it. Makes me feel like a bad mum for not having a strict schedule. It just doesn't work for DS. He won't feed unless he is hungry, and if he's hungry he won't wait. Self settling leads to screaming. I really want him to find his own routine, which is slowly getting clearer. He won't sleep longer than 30 mins if we are out or have visitors. So I just can't see it working for us. Good to know I aren't going to ruin his sleep patterns forever
Yes, still rolling. Mainly back to tummy, he knows what he is doing, and looks very focussed while rolling. He seems to have forgotten how to get back again tho, and gets frustrated. Maybe because Daddy keeps flipping him over.
