DistressedofDorking
Oh no! Please help, every morning DD wails her head off like she?s being killed. She?s 12 mo and sleeps in her own room. I am still BF her and pg with DC2, so to help me out DH gets her out of bed to bring her for her morning feed (lovely DH). But the screams every morning are just so distressing ? our neighbours mentioned about it the other day. Please help, I really don?t need this as am feeling hormonal
My HV has said I should stop BF and give her a bottle last thing instead as she is yelling because she is waking up starving
My MIL thinks I should be getting out of bed and not expecting DH to deal with this
DH thinks she is just being funny and I shouldn?t worry about it, she will grow out of it.
Mumsnorks ? Is there any way she could co-sleep? Then when she woke up the lovely booby would be right there to comfort her. Don?t listen to HV?s, they are all evil witches from Mars, out to deprive your baby out of the good stuff. Also your MIL is probably just jealous cos her husband never helped her out.
Waitingforfanjo ? Don?t worry about this lovely, babies just yell sometimes. God knows mine blow the house down when they wake up all tired and grumpy. Your DH is being lovely and helping you out. If you want to wean totally, you could, but I honestly think it won?t make the blindest bit of difference.
Interventionistsanonymous ? Congrats on your pregnancy! Also you do have a lovely DH, mine wouldn?t do so much as get me a cup of the tea I?m so horrendously addicted to. Baby could be suffering from MSS (morning screaming syndrome) so you should see your GP for a referral to a specialist. When I did it made such a difference ? the therapy really worked and baby is so much better.
Mumsnorks ? MSS new one on me.
Icewitch ? don?t worry about it. Nothing?s wrong, you?re just fragile because you?re pg. Have a large G n T and feel better.
DesperateofDorking ? ok, I went to see the Doctor and he said nothing was wrong, he hadn?t heard of MSS but referred me to the specialist anyway. Any other ideas? Don?t want to co-sleep as uncomfortable enough with bump and 12 monther makes a very kicky sleeping partner.
@icewitch ? large GnT ? at that time in the morning? Whilst pregnant?
TheDailyMailblowsdonkeys ? Are you sure your DH isn?t a child abuser?
[grin emoticon]
TokenMan ? Why are you alleging abuse TDMBD? You are being anti male unnecessarily. The nice man does something to help his pregnant wife and instantly someone alleges something totally unsubstantiated.
TheDailyMailBlowsDonkeys - >sighs impatiently at lack of irony detection in some people<
Desperateofdorking ? not sure if you?re being tongue in cheek but i think DD might be upset that it?s not me that gets her out of bed, I?ll try being there tomorrow morning. >sulky tired emoticon<
Icewitch ? oh sorry OP didn?t read that bit of your post...just thought I?d offer some assurance without reading anything.
Tombliboobs ? does she sleep with a toy? Mine used to cry every morning when she got out because I wouldn?t let her take all fifteen of her furry toys with her. Needless to say they go with her to breakfast to now, all cuddled up with her in the high chair. No more yelling. >indulgent parent emoticon<
Mumsnorks ? let us know how it goes OP, we?re all ?nosy?keen to think putting in our tuppence has been useful and not just a waste of yet more minutes of our one unrepeatable life on the internet!
DesperateofDorking ? Wow! You?ll never guess what was the answer (no, you really won?t guess.)
