Terry Im with you, joining coz ill miss the group too much. Hope you ladies dont mind even though C was born 31st Aug LOL (she just couldnt hold in for 1 more day)
Miss Dee I feel for you my DD is going through the same was so clingy yesterday afternoon thank god she settled down last night and we got some sleep. Today she is fussy again every time I put her down to sleep she cries after a few minutes but has no problem sleeping in my arms. I started reading the wonder weeks and it says it happens at 5 weeks pity I havent gotten to the part that tells you how long it lasts.
Chrispe DD sleeps for at least 3 hours most nights so I've been lucky to get blocks of sleep. Now that she has gained weight and I don't have to wake her to feed anymore hopefully I can get her sleeping for a few more hours
Hi Terry, that's great that your little girl is sleeping well!
DS3 was cluster feeding most nights since we came home. Then he started feeding every 3hrs (feeding for an hr then sleeping 2hrs) so 3-4 hrs sleep was a surprise!
was going to write a bit in here as well, but just heard DS start to stir. He had a late nap, which was good from the cooking tea point of view, but I'm not looking forward to trying to put him to bed tonight
So glad that all you ladies whose bubs arrived in August have decided to hang around with us I'd have missed you.
Hello ladies. I have finally had a chance to check in.
How is everyone going?
All good here. Amelia seems to have her days and nights around the right way now. She is awake a fair bit of the day but grizzles a lot. She seems to be in pain. It's horrible to see.
DDB, we're getting quite a bit of grizzling/in pain faces, etc, from Thor, too. Apparently the lactose levels in BM sometimes increase too fast for their systems to develop enough to cope with it, so they get a bit of temporary lactose intolerance as it sits there in their bellies and ferments a bit. We find that keeping him upright helps, and sleeping him on his belly on DPs chest - only ever while DP is awake - means he at least gets a good long sleep once during the day.

Oh Pholi you might be onto somethng.
DD has been so hard to settle and only likes to be held or sleeping on DH's chest we thought she was crsvng for human warmth.
I have been cutting out milk to see if thsts the causs.
example, yesterdau she would not sleep from 5.30am to about 1pm.
Everytime we tried putting her down after she closes her eyes she would sleep for like 5 mins then wake up crying again.
