LOL - maybe try taking her nappy off, let her lay nakee, and grab her lil feet and bend her knees and push her legs up to her tummy (does that make sense?), and just keep doing that for a lil while...maybe she has some gas? I found this worked for Harriett and it works for Zoe as well...
Then there is always just giving her a baby massage....just to relax her :)
Worth a try
Does she enjoy a bath or shower? Though if she has gas, it could wind up being a bubble bath :p
Nope no gas just a terrible urge to roll constantly. Loves bath had one tonight, no gas there either. She yells at me when I try massage however after dinner I could try again.
Everytime I put her down she just flips and cries, its like she cant help it, but god I am getting no sleep!
well the massage turned into hysterics and she screamed for an hour, then fell asleep on me till 10:30 No idea what the issue was. She still wouldnt sleep without trying to roll last night but at least I was able to get a few hours sleep.
Not really sure what to do tbh. Wedges are no good. She almost suffocated in her one because she moves so much her face ended up against it so I wont use it again.
Only thing I can think of is giving her heaps of tummy time to try and relieve the urge to do it during hte day? I guess I'll have to suffer on a few hours sleep till she sorts herself out. ZZZz
Afraid I don't know - giving her plenty of playtime might work...fingers crossed.
Well that was odd - just took his hand out of his mouth to offer im a feed and he burst out crying, real tears and all! Cried like I'd taken his favourite toy away for a good 5-10 mins then finally settled enough to feed for a little while and is now falling asleep on me.
Thanks Ck, I hope something works soon. Perhaps she just really wants to be on her tummy but her brain wont relax or something. I'm hoping she will figure it out soon.
Lilly does that with her foot. Shes learnt to suck on her toes, the world shatters if I take it out of her mouth to try and put a nappy on or something.
Lolpigs don't know if it would work but I will usually swap things around so if Abby won't go to sleep in the bassinet I'll try the swing and if that isn't what she wants I put on her playmat propped up a little on a boomerang pillow, I'm not far away so I don't worry to much about the pillow on the playmat. Very occasionally Abby is really tired and won't relax enough to sleep so I will put her in our bed and lay with her till she's asleep.
She's still really young and remember they do things they don't realize and then get frustrated. At times it's good to re read the baby developement handbooks just to refresh our memories.
Yay, score! I just picked up a bumbo for $15 at a secondhand market :) Had been thinking about buying one but didn't want to spend the cash because I don't think Alex will be in it for very long...
Goodmorning ladies! Our bubbas are fast approaching the 4 month mark- Wow! Not sure about anyone else but I've started thinking of introducing Emilia to solids in the next week or so, she seems ready to me. I was going to go down the pureed food path to start with. Is anyone else contemplating starting solids with their bubs yet?
Ck, yay for ur good purchase- I've seen them in shops for $100+ so great find! Emilia got given one and she sort of likes it. Just be careful tho coz my MCHN told me of an increase in fractures in babies toppling themselves over when sitting in their bumbos. Apparently they actually havent yet been deemed 'safe' by Australian standards :s so yeh I'm sure u are but just keep an eye whenever alex is using it!
Lolpigs, how are u going with lillys sleep? Was she any more settled over the weekend?
Shes not too bad, still having issues with her wanting to roll but I just have to ride it out. She really wants to crawl so she is determined to practise all hours lol. Sometimes she is resettling herself on her stomach which is good we are getting less freak outs thankfully. Her days sleeps are also all over the place again. Waking after 45 mins and screaming becuase shes tired and I cant get her back to sleep. Tiring and Frustrating times.
Lilly is showing ready signs too but I'll be sticking with plain things due to her stomach. Farax and things. Got cross as my auntie yesturday didnt even ask and fed her custard, I would have said something but by the time I opened my mouth she had already done it.
So p-off. I told her not to feed her again without asking this morning as lilly was refluxing all night and is a bit off color today becuase of it. Noone is feeding her again. God people just dont think do they! Children are not communal property! GRR I know she didnt mean anything by it but still. Lilly can't really tolerate cows milk so that is why she is on goat's milk.
I got mine for $75 with the tray, thats a good bargin CK :) Ah well that would be I guess if you left them unsupervised once they were bigger in it? Lilly would have no hope of toppling it over currently. My friends 7 month old cant even do it, I guess like everything just use your noggin ;) Not much can be sold in australia for children without meeting australian standards so I not sure about that one. ($2 shops and stuff sometimes sell stuff that isn't checked)
I'm not well atm. For the last 12 months or so I've had this Itching/*****ling/Tingling sensation all over with no rash and noone could figure it out. They thought it was Cholestatis when I was pregnant but seems it wasnt because it has been back for the last month. Had to change Dr's becuase my GP of many years was not interested in helping me and I'm really suffereing. Hair has started breaking off at a high rate and my Psorasis is back on my scalp. Generally feeling fatigued and sick... and I just got AF. Hooray!
Anyway thanks for letting me vent. Hope everyone else is well.
Hi everyone and big hugs.
Hubby and i had Gastro yesterday, feeling so crappy and flat today. My mum had Levi all day, I was so sick I didn't have time to miss him, I felt so bad. Mum slept over last night to help with him.
I'm considering starting Levi on solids when he turns 4 months. Mainly because I know my supply will due to being sick.
IMMMMMMMMMM BBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!
