Night Feeders Part 4 Up All Night Feeding, newborns, sleep regressions, toddlers, every knackered Mummy welcome!

[Cannotbelieveit]

Here's a fresh thread!

Let's start by introducing us/babies again

R has had 2 little naps of 25 mins so far this morning and is having his mid morning feed now. Ds1 took his first steps over the weekend, the most he can do is 10 steps beside falling over, but it's a start!

I wish mine would nap - he looks shattered but as usual won't go to sleep. Normally we take a walk which works a treat but my dumb husband has gone to work with the pushchair in his boot despite me reminding him twice last night to take it out

That's great news about the walking!!! Let the trouble begin!!!

This one has had an hour's nap and another feed and is touch wood, content for the time being.

Napping again I'm just chilling watching tv now.

ugh jealous you all had good night's sleep! ds went for two hours then awake every 1.5 hours :( He's had about 2 hours spread over 4 short naps since 7 am - he's sleeping really lightly today so just cuddling him.

I've been super hungry the past few days can't stop eating!

I've definitely had more than my fair share of crappy nights! 6 months in and I still feel like it's Christmas when I get 4 straight hours sleep.

Two naps so far today. The first was 30 minutes and the second was 45 minutes so not too bad. He's refusing to feed for done reason though.

Good news is that I've got an interview for the job I applied for.

Great news writer!

Ds1 is now a proper walker! Nice bday present for me (it's tomorrow) better than anything I could be bought

Just under 2 hours of naps today. Just having his last feed now.

Thanks cannot - it is a week on Monday!! I've got to sit an hour long maths exam which is marked straight afterwards and if I hit the 'pass mark' percentage I then go and have the face to face interview.

I'm trying to give DS his bedtime feed but it's not going too well - I'm not sure why but he's been really really reluctant to feed all day. I've been giving him calpol in case his teeth were hurting but it's not really making any difference.

And happy birthday for tomorrow!!!

He needed a 20 minute snooze on me at 6 as he couldn't manage til bedtime so total about 2.5hrs today and in bed just before 8. I'll be joining him by 9 I'm exhausted from a 5:30am start this morning!

Have you tried teething granules or anbesol on his gums? Sometimes they won't feed unless their gums are numb as the sucking motion makes blood rush to their gums and hurts them more :-(

Maths!! Ouch

Thanks writer! I'm turning 31, feel really grown up now

I'm 31 in six weeks - trying not to think about it

It just feels so much more older than 30!!

We've got quite a few similarities writer!

Mrs it won't be long til I'm in bed too, shattered

Shut it you two - I'm 34!

Mrs only joking! I think it's just a number really. I can't believe I finished school 14 years ago, I still feel 17 in my head

I wonder if we have any other similarities cannot Are you a cat lover??

DS seems to have gone hyper! He's being a nightmare. Grizzling, screaming, moaning, refusing to be put down but hating being held and squirming everywhere.

Why are babies so unpredictable?

Writer yes!!! I'm typing this as our kitten lies on me!

Right, shut it ALL of you! I'm 38 in a couple of months but always get told that I look younger so I guess that ok, haha. I hope I do, given that DP is only 26!!

Cariad - does that make you a cougar??

Cannot - yay I have got two cats (sisters who we had from kittens) and I love them to pieces!!! It took me about 6 months to convince my DH into letting me have cats but he adores them too now!!

I'm 37 in a few months I always forget how old I am! DP is younger than me too but only by 4 years.

DS has had a funny day with feeding too writer but has now been going for 45 mins. He's also needed more cuddles than usual if that's possible and more help going to sleep so something seems to be bothering him. Fingers crossed he has a good night though.
