Hmmmm....apparently pizza takes a little over 24hrs to surface and makes Alex fart. Lots...
Hugs Dan, Maybe tell him how you feel when he gets back?
I think that is happening to Lilly last few days she has dropped her sleep from 6-2 and has been doing 6pm 11-12 5:30 8 around those times. Seems a bit all over the place.
Suddenly she is howling at nap times and needs the dummy, no idea why that suddenly started!

Levi has started getting himself really upset for his afternoon sleep, really needs to be held tight, holding the dummy in his mouth and sharp bum patting. He goes into the deepest sleep for an hour or two.
Hmm it is so weird. Also shes stated being super mobile around the bed, the cot sheet only worked for a few days now she can roll over in it. Its waking her up and now I am at a loss as to what to do, short of sleep her on her stomach. She fights any and all wrapping. Rolls on her side constantly in attempts to get onto her stomach and wakes up constantly.
Any ideas? I am going to try a single sheet next :( But other than sleeping her on her stomach what can I do?

What does she do if you leave her without the wrap? Does she cry and generally not settle at all, or just roll around a bit get comfy and go to sleep eventually? I know my CHN says that once they're able to roll tummy sleeping is less of a problem because they're able to shift their heads to make sure they get good air-flow.
It's really sounding like short of using a straightjacket your little miss just doesn't want to be wrapped up. If you do try different sheets etc, have a look at Hip-Healthy Swaddling to make sure it's not too tight etc.
Yeah she cries and generally dosent settle, its like she dosent know what she wants. I've tried sleeping bags too but it takes her an AGE to get to sleep, then she wakes up alot. Would you suggest I just put her down and see what happens? On her back first? She can flip herself from her side to her back if I put her down that way, she can't quite get onto her stomach yet from her back but almost gets there now. Funny she only does this in bed.
I dont care if I have to swaddle her or not, its just I dont know how to get her to settle without it. She seems so up and down. Just tried to lay her one her tummy with no wrap but she just lifted her head and cries and kicked her legs.. /pulls hair out
I use ergo cacoon. It has the option to have arms in or out. Once babies can roll I think you can sleep them either side.
I'm glad Levi cant roll yet but he does worm up the cot lol
Her legs seem to be the biggest issue, not her arms which is the problem most swaddles hold their arms down, she wants them up near her face. I really need to get this worked out but she isn't helping me ;(
LOL - just a quick thought...are you putting Lilly down after a feed? if so, are you sure she has had enough to drink? she may still be hungry...and maybe she still has some wind? I usually, after a feed, sit Zoe upright for at least 30 minz then put her in bed where she puts herself to sleep.
Just a thought hun :)
Danni - I'll send Harriett up to sort yr boys out! (really, it is just an excuse to give me a break hehe) surely the 3 of them can take care of themselves!!!
No not after a feed, she is up for about 30mins before going down to sleep either playing or talking to one of us. She had tummy time today then layed talking and playing with dad then was tired. If she is hungry, not much I can do, shes always been a crappy eater and once she feels shes finished, I can't get her to eat more I've tried that and she just spits it out again. I feel like I'm going around in circles.
Nikky could be onto something there - I find the feed/play/sleep routine doesn't exactly work for Alex as by the time he's getting tired from playing and ready for sleep he's also hungry again (piggy-wig!) so he likes a small feed to relax/top him up before he has his nap. He then sits up on my lap for a few mins before I put him into his cot awake and he'll wriggle/chatter for a little bit before nodding off.
Mind you, he also takes a bit longer to get to tired stage - he's usually up for 45mins to an hour sometimes a bit more.
Yeah I've tried giving her a feed before bed but its hit and miss to if she will take it. Most of the time she wont. I'll try again next nap and see what happens. I thought that too, but she is such a fuss pot with her food. I put her in a single sheet with the dummy as she was really worked up by this stage and she went to sleep finally but I have no idea if it was the sheet or not I dont think so becuase shes waking on and off again. Yeah Lilly can be awake for up to an hour and a half before she starts geting tired nowadays... I'm starting to question everything at the moment becuase nothing works for more than a day or 2. Super frustrated atm :(
Last change for swaddles is I ordered a woombie. This is the last thing I'm buying as I've spent too much trying to find somethign that works for her. If it dosent not sure what to do. It is only her days that are so all over the place. Her nights are fine, aside from increased waking latley, she will just eat and go back to bed. The whole wrapping thing is waking her up though I think becuase she tries to roll then wakes herself up.
DH is totally hopeless not helping at all just standing aroudn shrugging his shoulders.. big help.
Nikky I'm half way thru an environmental science degree! It's just starting to get to the difficult subjects too!
Danni wowwww I wouldn't have let my DH go away at all, so your very understanding! But yeah I'd be super frustrated of I were you! Especially with three children- I find one time consuming enough!you must be exhausted! Violet has also started feeding more at night, exactly the same as Abby! She was going till 4am, now back to 2am! And last night it was 1:30!
Lolpigs- Yeah violet has figured out how to get out of the cot sheet wrap too! Not sure what to do either... She just loves to wriggle her way out of anything it seems!
AM- hmm very interesting about the hypnotism! Where did you go for yours? Was it a local place or somewhere in the city? I really will have to give it a go I think!
I don't so much do this with Abby but because Jaxon (DS2) was so hit and miss I used to lay him in the cot on top of the cot quilt and not worry about blanket sheets etc. But dress him to the weather, probably easier for me cos we have aircons going all the time. Even with Abby most the time she kicks the blanket off but I normally dress her in a long onsie so I just leave her be.
Abby slept to 5:30 this morning which was alot better but she did wake at 1 and started moving and huffing about so I just popped the dummy in and she settled back to sleep.
I think I only cope so well because Abby really is quite an easy baby. She's happy to spend alot of the morning on the play mat.
Ahhh Nikky an extra active child don't think would add too much more chaos :)

The ergo cacoon is like a woombie.
I had the hypnotism done 6 years ago locally. The man has since passed away :(
Wow that was a long offline for the website. Well Lillys teeth are still causing issues, however had some success on the wrapping front, I started doing her arms down and she didnt protest, legs free See where we are in a few days. I have also started adding thickener to her food as her reflux is back, seems to have settled it again.. ;(
Hugs Lolpigs xx
It's been an amazing time watching Levi develop the last few days.
He's learnt to push himself up when laying on his stomach. Loves the baby in the mirror. Has bathes in the big bath with either hubby or I. Teeth are moving, can see one of his front teeth under the gum. Slowly growing out all his 00 clothes. Really takes notice when you talk to him and sign too.
I'm so madly in love with him.
