I started writing 3 hours ago...its the witching hours for C between 6pm and 8pm, he was just awful. Just put him to bed, we will see if he stays there.
ferrals: so glad to hear Ella is on the mend :)
Iona: poor Jack the silent reflux sounds awful. Is there anyhting that can help or do you need to go see dr?
No real news from me, just plodding.
Kitty-That is Ella's grizzly time to or should i say shocker time too.
I have finally worked her routine out.
7-8am Ella wakes has bottle and has time on playmat.
9am back to bed.
11-12am Ella has bottle straight back to bed.
4pm Ella has bottle and playtime on mat.
5pm back to bed.
6-7pm Ella wakes and is whingy so bath time and trying to settle time
8pm Ella has bottle.
8:30 Ella goes to bed
12:30am Ella has a bottle goes back to bed.
4:30am Ella has bottle goes back to bed.
7-8am we start all over again.
This seems to be what times she always feeds and sleep now if we can drop that 12:30 we will be laughing.
Iona-go and get bub checked out you need to know so can get him treatment if that is what it is colic has similar symptoms also ella had the screams in the middle of feeding and even while asleep but now with the formula change we dont have a problem.
I put Ella in her own room for the 1st time last night i feel guilty but i just cant sleep with all her noises she groans and grunts and goo's in her sleep and last night i thought i would try her in her room i put the cradle in there so she still has her Angelcare monitor on the cradle i just turn the parent monitor down low so i can only hear her very softly i dont get all the light noises and of course when she cries i can hear that and the alarm bit is the same i can hear the beep but i can tell you i had a great night sleep and so did she maybe my tossing and turning was waking her up also she is 6 weeks on friday and i had my boys in their own rooms by 6 weeks i was hoping to have her in my room longer but mummy needs her sleep to be a functional mummy.
thanks ferrals, am off to the drs tomorrow as mine is closed today plus we have a crannial osteo appt tomorrow arvo so maybe that will help. the episodes only last about half hr at a time as he wears himself out but i still feel helpless when i hear the pain stricken scream
Hey Ferrals,
Sorry, ladies have not ready anything except this page as I have been away. Just wanted to say Ferrals, have you tried increasing her feeds? Kolton got a bit crabby but we worked it out that it was just because he wanted more formula. He is now on 180ml. All his grumpiness disappeared after the increase. Might be worth a look. Sorry if I missed something you said.. xx
Will came back on to read up later. xx
Iona hopefully the craino sacral treatment works, Miss A has been worse the last few days but I'm putting that down to my diet and being away. Got another one next weeks, so that combined with the bath exercises this week, hopefully she will be better...
Ferrals, we keep similar feed times each day, but as we are out and about each day her sleeps are not always regular, but luckily she sleeps well wherever we are...
lol to your DH who is already planning another baby for you!!!
Tam - hope you had a great time away, enjoy planning Asia :)
I'm thinking about trying to get up to Byron soon to visit my Besty
Can't remember what else I was going to say :)

Tams-Ella is on 150mls and very rarely finishes the whole bottle if she does she usually brings it back up her little belly cant handle it.
And i can forget trying a more filling formula as she is on the novalac colic one and it is good no more wind problems so i dont dare change it even when it's $25 a tin.
My mum said to add an extra scoop in her night bottle just before bed and to be honest i did that with my boys and it was fine they had no ill effects other then they slept all night but Ella is so tempermental and whingy if windy i dont want to risk upsetting her stomach.
So i guess i can try giving her a little water 1st and see if she goes back off to sleep before i offer her milk.
She is a happy bub except when tired she is a little ggrrrrrr!!!!
What mls is everyone elses bubs on who are FF?
We're back on 150, but H usually only drinks 130. We went up to 180 for a little while there but it must have been a growth spurt or something.
My MHCNs said most babies are on 120-150, sometimes 180 and rarely above that.
New avy's are up!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!
Very schexy
jaki: love the avi!
ferrals: you have such a routine worked out. The only thing that stays constant for C is that he wakes up at 6am for feed then sleeps till 9am then wakes up for feed. After that its anyone's guess whether he will sleep or stay awake :)
When I put C to bed last night he woke up again and stayed up till 10pm, then slept till 6am like usual. Thats what I get for trying to be sneaky and put him to bed earlier :) He still sleeps in a bassinett in my room but during the day I am trying to get him used to his cot and using his monitor :) Ahh the whining has begun, its gonna be a fun two hours to his next feed LOL
I've been reading, but it's been a busy weekend! Add to that E has been "off" all weekend... She's been crying what seems like all the time, today it's getting to me. I doubt it's the chocolate as
I eat it anyway before Easter. Hopefully it's just another growth spurt!
Someone mentioned a new avi? Hopefully mine's up too!
Woo hoo! New avi!
Btw, does anyone have a wii? We're thinking of getting one...
Rhi that actually looks like you lol
Woohoo i got my new avi to i am holding Ella and Abbi is the angel in the sky above so i got to have my whole family fit into my Avi.
Ugh W is so fussy today!!! Understandable after such a massive trip but geezo! He is miserable. Just so whiny. He has done nothing but whinge and feed all day, but mostly really rough comfort sucking.
He has fed that much my boobs are just flat floppy pancakes instead of nice plump melons ;)
I hope he sleeps ok tonight!
Mine are floppy pancakes too :(
love the new avi's girls
