Yep we've had some completely feral days too... I blame the first leap!!! I had the same non stop crying last night too.
Worst part is I'm sick... I have what DS had last week... Conjunctivitis, sore throat and running temps. It's actual hell

Yep we've had some completely feral days too... I blame the first leap!!! I had the same non stop crying last night too.
Worst part is I'm sick... I have what DS had last week... Conjunctivitis, sore throat and running temps. It's actual hell
Oh god that's horrible! Feeling for you esstee :(
That's it, I'm going to go dig out the wonder weeks book now... I better get a proper smile from this Bub next week to make up for his feralness ;)
FF any smiles there yet?
Download the app too. It tells you when the storm is coming... And its freakishly accurate!
DD has only been having 1 hour sleeps... This too shall pass this too shall pass!
We've at least got some smiles... Been having some gorgeous ones for a week or so now. The best ones are when they don't then turn straight into crying!
We are well and truly in the first leap too! And getting smiles for a week now too. I love it, he usually does a little coo with it too, and smiles bigger when I coo back. But non stop crying, argh. Today he has been awesome though, slept one 3hr stint and then another one later that arvo with a few cat naps in between. Better than yesterday which was all little cat naps, most less than 5mins! It was hell. Got to bed time and he was hysterical, had to pace the house with him in a carrier screaming until he passed out.
I'm really struggling with putting her down. She's been great up til this leap and now she screams til she's picked up, no matter how long she's been asleep in my arms first. Her longest sleep today was 1.5h where I lay in between her and DS (when I say lay, I mean sandwiched).
I can't wait til it's over and I can have a happier baby. I took them for a drive tonight so she'd go to sleep.
The night before last I contemplated going for a drive (in my pjs, during a storm lol) so I could get him to sleep..
This came up on my Instagram account yesterday, and made me laugh.

Had Remi weighed, he weighs 6.6kg and is 63cm long! I had been a bit worried, as he does soooo much poos compared to my other kids, I was worried it wasn't sticking to the sides, lol, particularly as he has been losing the rolls he was born with... Turns out he was just stretching out 7cm in 5 weeks!
Wooooow! [emoji15] Remi must just be such a beautiful chubba! Can I ask what size clothes he's in Tubbles?
Lots and lots of smiles here now. When she's not screamibg the house down there's a huge grin lol
My 2yo has gastro now. I have a chest infection. DS has conjunctivitis. Oh so healthy here :(
Wow Remi is a big boy.
Ok so.... This morning (after a few days of little to no PP bleeding) I had some familiar cramping. Went to the loo and wiped and there was brownish/red blood. Is it just more bleeding (stopping and starting) or could it be my cycle? I'll be pretty annoyed if it is my cycle! Still EBF baby and toddler too! No fair!
Mine was on and off for about a week before it stopped completely. Doubtful to be your period yet - that would be horrible luck!
FF sorry your household it sick again. You guys just keep copping it!!
Tubbles holy moly that's a big baby! My Heaths just getting to your Remis birthweight lol
I went to get the clinic nurses opinion today because I've been worried Bub has a tongue tie. She doesn't think he does. But is concerned I don't have him in a sleep routine, and that he feeds often, and that I have him sleep with us. I'm just going ummm but, he's a newborn? He doesn't care if the clinic lady says he should have a feed less often, he just gets hungry, and so he eats. And it's my choice to have him in the bed, not because I can't afford a bassinet as she presumed. It's not like I surround him with big pillows, and chuck a doona over the top. Old people! So outdated.
Oh and I'm super jealous of all your smiley bubs! I think I've gotten a couple but they are followed by a poo or fart usually so I'm not convinced he actually likes me yet. We'll see!
Yeah I think the crampy bit threw me off! I think it would be majorly unlucky to get AF back after 5 weeks...
I hope you can get some answers peace on the tie... I agree with you on old school opinions about cosleeping, demand feeding etc. that's why I'm going to miss my IM so much. We agree on pretty much everything... Seeing the CHN next Friday and you just never know what you're going to get!
She suggested I was feeding him too much fore milk and not enough hind milk (that old chestnut!). He has gained over a kg in 3 weeks. Whatever he is getting is fatty enough I would say! So I guess he's just a farty Bub and it will sort out as he gets older. Good luck with your CHN appt! Can't wait to hear of all the things your doing wrong too ;)
He's in a size 00-0 at the moment. He's not as rolls as you'd think he should be, I think he stores it in his bones!:
DS1 has a red eye at the moment, hope it isn't conjunctivitis.
We have lots of screaming here too, particularly when tired, doesn't want to breastfeed because he only wants to comfort suck but my supply won't let him, so he gets so grumpy. Just had to hold him through the screams til he slept... But yes, screaming crying, and then 5 mins later full of smiles, 5 mins later screams and crying!
I am still bleeding, some days heavier than others - so lame!:
I'd see a specialist if you think he has tongue tie. What is making you think that? Remi has just gotten really smelly and farty. Could totally be the hind milk thing! An LC at the ABA meeting told me to stop block feeding, as it can confuse my breasts or something.. Ever since, gross smelly farts! But, his poo is still the 'right' colour... Although I think it has a bit of bubbles/foam to it than it normally has.. Can you tell I EC and check the poo as I'm paranoid?! Lol. Maybe I'll go back to block feeding. Was worried about my diet affecting him, but I don't think I've changed anything.:
I haven't even seen an CHN yet, don't think I will, the pharmacy can weigh and measure his length for free, so that's where I'll be going.:
AF returned at 5w6d for me...no fair!!
I'm struggling with DD not sleeping. She won't sleep after her big morning nap and screams non stop from 7/8pm for hours on end. Nothing I try works, she just fights sleep.
She's in 0000/000 clothes, used up our final newborn nappy last night
Oh FF that's so not fair!!!!!
How old is your DD FF?
