Will try and get a quick post in before DD wakes... I hear her stirring...
Have tried to catch up a bit, haven't gone too far back though, will try and move forwards and keep up from here!
BIG HUGE HUGS for Ali with the sleeping - I have had real rough patches too, I know exactly how you feel. I felt like a robot for a while, it was a struggle just to get thru each day and I began to dread nights. You need to do whatever works for you - try some book theories, try what people suggest and work out what works for you and stick with it. Det is always telling us to listen to ourselves - we know what works best, but when she was telling me that I was so deliriously tired I was like "I don't know what I am telling myself!!!"
Just keep thinking - it will get better. Some way, some how, it will. Have you considered a sleep school?
HUGE HUGS to Holly as well, ditto the above, it will get better!! You are a champion mum.
Also big huge hugs in a comforting way for shell. I'm so sorry for the loss of your FIL but glad he is no longer in any pain.
Pinny I started DD on solids ages ago - she was ready and as a bigger bub it was recommended, so I thought why not, let's try it and see how she goes. She still has anywhere from 6-10 BFs a day so she hasn't started "dropping" any feeds yet, so we offer water sometimes and she will sort of lap at the sippy cup but doesn't really suck it. I figure she's getting all the fluids she needs from the BFs.
You should start DS when you think he's ready - or talk to your MCHN, see what they say!
Kaz - as above, DD is still on 6-10 feeds a day. We demand feed - sometimes she can go up to 5hrs between feeds but other days it'll be 2.5hrs! Who knows?
