High-Need Baby Support Thread II

[tickleme63]

Hey ladies, here's a shiny new thread for us to discuss, query, whinge about and rejoice our high-need bubs!

Pretty bad night last night, bleeding exhausted. Can see why so many of you co-sleep. We haven't gone down that route, but it's never looked so attractive...

Gawd, grizzly DS. Poor tooths. Hope you have had a decent night!

On site not onside, stupid autocorrect! Looks like we'll need another thread soon as well

Spanner - sorry your holiday wasn't as relaxing as you would have liked.

Well we're home, the docs have said to continue with the water/electrolytes and still no bm. He's also just been a little bit sick again on just the dioralyte so really don't want to risk the milk.

It's horrid being so helpless too. I'd gladly swap me being sick for him. My mum has called my aunt who hopefully has a breast pump so I won't get too engorged again!

Yes to starting a new thread. Should it still be in this topic or in say behaviour or maybe sleep?

Thanks for the offer of a pump joyful. My aunt found a hand pump. I during get much off, but have always been rubbish at expressing, but it's enough to keep engorgement at bay.

Thanks also for all your kind words. DS is wrapped up in my sling asleep on me at the mo, and me, my mum and my DH are doing shifts through the night to keep his fluid intake up.

Hope he gets better soon.xxx

I think as sleep is the main issue we should think about relocating to sleep.... what do others think?

I'm up for that, but just need to know how I find the sleep section on me fon

So I've created our new thread in our new home. I'll try to link, but am on my phone so it may not work.

Hello. Is anyone still there? Been looking to see if there's a third thread but not found yet....

I could have cried last night when I found the first 2 threads. DS now 8 months. Scores 5/6 of OPs list. Am constantly criticised by all inc DH. Sounds like I was HN baby too. I dread night time as by 7pm am at the end of my tether and know I have a 12 hour battle ahead of me during which time I will get 5hrs sleep in bursts of between 30mins and 2hrs. Going back to work full time in January (am clearly insane) which is really starting to stress me out.

Shall stop for now but hope one of you lovely people sees this and can tell me where you've all gone!
