I have been reading up on what you ladies have been up too...
Lolpigs - Sucks that the meds are making your tummy upset.. Did you get the vitamins of that nursing angel website? Aubree has been fussy the last couple of days as well, falling asleep half way through and what not, so I know what you mean! Its frustrating.
Amanda - YAY VIOLET for sleeping 11-4! I wish Aubree would get back into her little routine.. How are things going with your DH??
Danni - How is the BF going? And Boo to AF! You would think she would just stay away a little longer!
Nikky - How is Zoe after the chocking thing the other night? I hope the little munchkin is alright!!
Jan - Im glad Jess likes her pram and your able to get stuff done, hopefully it keeps getting easier with things
Well today I had Aubree immunisations She was so brave and only started crying after the second one. I felt terrible, and I almost cried. Her little cry was heartbreaking! Im so glad to be home from our trip even if Aubree is unsettled! Hopefully she will work herself out in the next couple of days. Although after immunisations today she has been a bit out of sorts. DH and I have decided that we are just going to use condoms, I dont want to be on the pill as it does strange things to my body, and it took us two years to get Aubree so we figure if we want another child it will be hard again if i go on the contraception.
I have been searching high and low for a sleepy wrap here in Canberra but cant seem to find a baby shop that sells them.. So I am on a mission! I dont want to wait! After watching a video on them I want one NOW!! Aubree would love is because she loves been close to you, so it would be ideal, and I would be able to get stuff down around the house!
Well I better go do the last feed, I am hoping Aubree goes down for a decent sleep tonight because I am so tired! and by the sounds of her cry, she is tooo!!!
Yeah Vitamins didn't do much for me. Do you mean the one she wears to sleep? It is called I love to Dream wrap, and lets her starfish, although she is sleeping unwrapped now lol becuase she dosen't want to be confined funny munchkin.
The sling I use is called sleepy wrap. I also have an Ergo for when I go to the shops, easier than a pram at this stage.
Really annoyed at the swing I bought, it has stopped working, sent emails to both Fisher Price and the company I bought it from. I want a refund dammit!
Nursing Angel have them for about $44, that is where I got my one from, Lilly was amost asleep and then spewed on her bed So now we are working at getting back to sleep with dummy. She was going to sleep without it too :S Silly stomach of hers.
Levi slept from 10:30 until 7am. I was very sore when I woke up lol. I thought we were going to have a bad night due to him having a belly ache before bed, he must known can't function without sleep lol.
Wow thats a long time. Bubs had a very unsettled day yesturday and it looks like more of the same today. She slept 8-12 then called out for a cuddle and comfort sucking so gave dummy, then slept till 2am before wanting a feed. Then slept till 6:30am, since then we have been unsettled and slept not more than 30mins.
First day on my own without hubby he is at his dads, so scary that its a day she has been totally unsettled, I was wiped out after 4 hours of no break. Least it wasnt screaming. In the end went for an hour walk and she got some sleep then.
Does it hurt when the pead does all the hip checking etc? Reason I ask is suddenly after his visit she has started all this behaviour and wondering if she might be sore from him doing all his checks?
Doing another feed now and hopefully will be able to get her to sleep for awhile. I dont know if this is linked to her teeth or her poor eating suddenly again. When do teeth generally start? Someone mentioned sooner if you use formula.
Lolpigs bugger about the swing, ours has worked well infact I gotta change the batteries there about to go completely flat. I reckon they should make the swing able to be plugged into power. Dunno about the formula/teething early thing though, all my kids have only gotten teeth after the six month mark and either been FF or comped. They only check for clicking in the hips and I watched the doctor the other day and he was quite gentle but maybe if it continues you could enquire or maybe take her to a natural therapist.
Abby was a dream yesterday, she slept all morning so I got the house completely spotless, then had a four hour wake period with maybe half hour sleep slotted in the middle and then slept another couple of hours for me to get the outside patio all cleaned before we went for a swim when DH/daddy got home from work
Today I'm tackling the shopping with three kids wish me luck..
Thanks Dan. I'll see how she goes. Shes sleeping now her tummy seems very unsettled and she something is definatley bothering her she kept giving me her uncomfortable/pain cry with lots of coughing so I gave her some panadol and will offer her boiled water when she wakes again.
I've also noticed and increase in her spitting up, not sure why this suddenly started. I'm most concerned when she is asleep and randomly spits up milk. She isnt crying or screaming afterwards it just interupts her sleep
Jan I found this website thought it might help? PAGER Home
No it has actually decreased, she got into a good feeding pattern in the last week and a half taking from 150ml - 200ml and being fine that was every 3-4 hours. Now she is back to sleeping on the bottle and struggling to finish 90-120ml. The spit up only started in the last few days since the sleeping behaviour started agian. When she was drinking more, she was not sleeping and was finishing quickly so I thought this sleeping difficult feeding was behind us.
The Karicare Goat 1 currently. Since the weekend we have been fully transitioned onto it perhaps her stomach is now adjusting? She is still getting BM shoud I add a thickener?
We also stoped the Losec as the Pead said becuase she wont take it via syringe, and we were putting it in the bottle he dosent know how affective it would be, so we stopped that when we saw him, but that dosent stop spit up.
Few days Mollie not long at all. They are really fast I've noticed for delivery.
Half your luck Amumma! and Dan with that bub that sleeps alot, wish my Lilly would My Lilly is becoming increasingly unsettled, and difficult to settle. Not sure why but its seemingly some sleeps ok and some takes ages to get her settled. Perhaps I'm just not good enough with sleep ques yet but I don't seem to see any other than a yawn, and everyone tells me thats a late sign. So exhausted.
I could do everything else all the colic and tummy upsets if only she would sleep when tired. Dad is up there now trying to settle.
We had another good night! Aubree went down at 10 with a dreamfeed and didnt wake til 6! I fed her at 6 and she has only just woken now! Lovely! And the weather is raining and cooler so I am sure that is why she is sleeping better! I ordered a sleepy wrap off the Nursing Angel website, I hope I get it next week!!!
Well after that horrible experience the other night, Z has been FINE! damn brat! likes to scare the bejesus outta her parents I can tell you!
I kinda think she was struggling to catch her breath due to MAYBE having a lot of phlegm in her throat. (I STILL have a stupid headcold, so she may have what I have)
She wasn't drinking as much on thursday either, but thankfully she has more than made up for it in the last few days!
Her sleeping is AWESOME! (sorry those of you who are still struggling )
She usually has her last feed between 9 - 10pm, then I sit up with her for at least an hr (I find this helps her settle more as the milk has had time to settle) so she sleeps from 10ish to at least 5am! Sometimes 6 or 7am! LOVE it! Harriett NEVER did this lol
My mum goes home on Thursday! (can't wait really, I love having her here, but its just so crowded with her here as well so we get a bit more snappy, if you guys KNWIM
Zoe has almost grown out of her swing her lil feet are just about dangling over the edge! Same with the Capsule. SO have to go get Harriett's car seat out of the shed and ready that for this ever growing heffalump!
Hope you girls are going well. Hang in there, as those of us with kids have said before...IT DOES GET BETTER!!
How are things going with your DH??
