Glad he had a good time at soft play lulu Smile

I should think it should be super fast tracked cupcake! It's awful what they have done! I would be chasing it up in two days to make sure it's being looked at! Hope the hv can give you some advice.

I think ds was ill Confused he'd just been screaming and not sleeping all day, then all of a sudden he went quiet, made a poo noise (he squeaks when he poosGrin) then went absolutely mad screaming. It was like a play doh poo. I gave him some calpol and some water and then he was fine laughing away and playing with his dinosaur. I got him in his pajamas at 6.30 and he fell asleep as soon as I picked him up Blush he's never done that! I put him in bed then dm came round, she peered over his cot and he spun round wide awake with a huge smile on his face! Luckily it don't take too long for him to go back to sleep Smile

Ds is in bed asleep now Ducky. DH is in the bath after his walk in the Cheviots. I have just poured him a gin and tonic and taken it up. I am having ne too. We are off to bed soon. He is knackered and I didn't sleep much at all last night. We need some sleep. If I stay down here on the sofa I will just fall asleep here.
Your DS sounds happy tonight!

Had he been constipated Ducky?
My DS has regressed a bit again sleep-wise too. He was missing out his 1:30 feed at night last week but he's waking up for it again now Hmm

Cupcake92 · 15/07/2015 06:16

Wow Ducky that's good of ur DS!! Bet u were pleased! :)

I hope u got a good sleep Lulu! Hope ur feeling refreshed this morning :)

Lill does ur DS only have that one feed now in the night?

Well DS fell asleep at 9pm downstairs, I left him to fall in a deep sleep so I was able to just put him in his bed. At 10:30 I went upstairs with him, he's was fast off, but as soon as I walked into his room it's like he knew! Like he sensed it! He suddenly woke up and screamed! And wanted to get out his room! It's so weird!! So I just brought him to my bed and luckily tonight he didn't mind being there so he slept In my bed and woke at 6am. He's hard work lol
DS2 on the other hand was so lively last night! Stretches in my belly, hiccuping and doing huge kicks Grin so he kept me awake a while !

Think he was lil Confused have taken him off his stuff from the Drs as a side effect is constipation. Could your ds be having a growth spurt?

Yay for the wriggly baby cupcake! But poor ds Confused I wonder what it is that's making him like that

Your poor ds too tori!hope he's feeling himself again soon.

Sorry about any spelling mistakes I have a new phone and it won't let me see what I'm writing

Cupcake92 · 15/07/2015 19:58

Aw bless him Tori! Hope he's back to himself soon!

Ducky I hope DS sleeps well again tonight for u :)
As for my DS I've no idea what's making him like this, I rele am leaning towards a nightmare being the cause :/
Tonight we've come up to bed early and spending evening in my bed see if he falls asleep, he looks tired but he will fight it lol

Cupcake92 · 15/07/2015 21:23

Well he fell asleep at 9pm! Don't dare move him tho, but I rele want to try get him in his own bed :/ don't know how to go about this.
And yes he has a top on that says 'daddy's sleepy monster' which he clearly isn't haha but they are the only short sleeved and short pjs he has! And his shorts are cool and have stars on! :)

LuluJakey1 · 15/07/2015 22:01

What a day! I couldn't settle last night and hardly slept again. I dozed off at half 5 and was fast asleep when DS woke about half 6. DH took him downstairs but I was awake by then.

He has been like a limpet today- just wanting to be carried around Clingy and if I have put him down he has just cried- but happy as Larry as long as I have been carrying him.

I am exhausted. DH has been to his new school to meet the governors so was late home- 8.30pm. He looks really tired too and DS is now hanging onto him.

Cats are so much easier!

How come u aren't sleeping well Lulu?
Aw ur DS just needed his mummy today :)

Well DS is in his room....in his bed.... Asleep.
1st night in about a week! Just praying he stays asleep as I have work tomorrow. But we shall see. At least he didn't scream as soon as I took him into his room!

LuluJakey1 · 15/07/2015 23:10

I don't know Cupcake. I just wake up every 20 minutes or so and can't go to sleep at all until 1am or later. DH is fast asleep now. DS is fast asleep and I am lying in the dark with my ipad.

I know Ds just wanted to be with me for some reason but I feel mauled. He has pulled my hair, my ears, my mouth, my cheeks, my arms, my neck. He has chewed/sucked my face.

I have had a lovely shower after he went to bed and feel all clean again. DH is radiating heat- cold air fan on us.

It is good to hear your DS has settled in his room tonight, hopefully he will have a good night and stop being scared and you will get some rest. He looks very cute with his milk in that photo. Smile

Cupcake92 · 16/07/2015 07:35

Oh no Lulu :( when did u finally fall to sleep? Maybe u should talk to ur GP see what they can suggest? U need all the energy u can get with a busy baby exploring all day.

DS woke up at 1am and had to sleep in my bed from then. But that's okay, it's a start, he managed to go in his bed, and when he woke up he didn't scream or cry or try and run out his room, he just kept saying "momma" so I said to him he's a good boy for going in his bed and that he did rele well! To that he replied "no" and shook his head Grin

zombiemeow · 16/07/2015 09:42

Hope you get some rest soon lulu. Dh will be off soon to help won't he?

Cupcake, glad your ds managed to stay in bed a bit. Has he got a night light or anything?

We had a bad night. Ds did 5 big poos yesterday and seems in pain Hmm he slept from about 7 - 10 when he was up until around 12.30 very unsettled. He has a few wake ups when he got up at 5 he had done another big poo and then one at 6. I gave him some Calpol but he still seemed uncomfortable. I have booked another gp appt. I'm sick of
That place Hmm I think he has some sort of stomach bug. Or the gaviscon blocked him up so much he is now having problems Sad

Cupcake92 · 16/07/2015 17:34

Yes Ducky he's got a night light and a lamp :)
And wow that's a lot of poos for such a small guy! Shock bless him I bet he'll feel relieved once he's got it all out.

I was bad today and I've ordered a brand new bed! It gets delivered on Wednesday :)
A big kingsize bed! And a new Matress :)
Can't wait as my bed atm is awful and uncomfortable. It's only a small double bed, so the kingsize will feel so huge!
DS hasnt eaten a lot of his dinner tonight, going to make him toast see if he'll eat that, just to try and get something down him. Fx he sleeps in his bed tonight!

LuluJakey1 · 16/07/2015 19:49

It has been really hot here today. Me and DS had a nap for an hour this morning then went for a walk after lunch.

We went along the sea front and the breeze off the sea was lovely. When we got home DH was home - early tonight. He had stripped off and was lying on a sun lounger in the garden in his shorts. DS was delighted to see him. I left them to it and had another sleep upstairs but I am still tired.

DH breaks up for the summer tomorrow Ducky so yes he will be here all the time for 6 weeks. SIL moving up next Wednesday so we will have plenty to do. I am hoping she will babysit so we can have a night out together every so often.

Your new bed sounds lovely Cupcake. Smile

Cupcake92 · 17/07/2015 06:40

That'll be good having ur DH about Lulu :) lots of help which I hope means lots of rest and sleep for u!

Well DS and I went to my bed last night again, he fell asleep at 9pm, 45 mins later I managed to get him into his bed! Yay :)
He stayed there asleep till 6am this morning!!!! I'm so happy!!! He was in a good mood this morning when he woke as well!
My plan is to keep going to my bed at 8pm and once he starts going to sleep sooner and being able to be moved to his bed and staying there all night, I will start going up to bed in his bed and sit with him till he's asleep. Then hopefully after a while I'll be able to just go put him in his bed at bed time and leave him.
Hard work but hopefully it'll work and be worth it in the end :)

LuluJakey1 · 17/07/2015 07:09

Sounds like progress and a good plan Cupcake Smile

DH has already gone off to work, with all his thank you cards and presents for his dept.

DS and I are lying in bd and he has had some milk and is sleepy again (yayy!) He is cuddled in.

It's raining here.Typical start to summer hols!

I am taking him to Morpeth shopping and then to baby soft play. Then I am going to make a nice meal to celebrate DH starting hols and leaving his job for his new one- assuming DS co-operates with cooking. Hopefully he will tire himself out at softplay and have a sleep.

zombiemeow · 17/07/2015 08:19

Good plan cupcake! It must be night terrors if he woke up happy this morning?

Lulu what are you cooking? Bet your dh can't wait!

Cupcake92 · 17/07/2015 17:14

Hope everyone is having a good day! :)

Me and DS have had our hair cut and DS is sat down eating dinner! Burger and cheesy mash! :) very happy he's eating it!

LuluJakey1 · 17/07/2015 17:55

That's good Cupcake. It has turned into nice weather here. Me and DS went shopping and to soft play. DH got home at 2 - with loads of nice cards and presents he had been given by staff and children at his school. There are some lovely messages in the cards.
We have been for a walk along the seafront- warm but breezy and are about to cook dinner- he is playing with DS in the garden at the moment.
6 weeks holiday! Yayy

Lillamyy1 · 17/07/2015 20:39

Everyone sounds a bit more happy today Smile
Sucky what did the doc say about DS's tummy?
Cupcake, glad your DS is a bit happier in his own bed and that sounds like a good plan you have.
Lulu, I expect it'll be really nice having your DH at home to help out with DS and also having your SIL nearby.
Cupcake, you asked if my DS just had one feed at night - I wish! Hmm He averages 3 still on most nights! Although he hS been having more nights with just one or usually two lately so hopefully it's a sign of things to come. I've tried to feed him as much as possible this evening in the hope he won't need to wake up much tonight.

Lillamyy1 · 18/07/2015 06:53

Ducky! Bloody autocorrect.

Cupcake92 · 18/07/2015 08:10

Aw bless, is ur DH going to miss that job Lulu? It's nice they all got him things :)

Lill I used to do that with DS, fill him up with porridge before bed so he'd be rele full after his last bottle Grin it used to work sometimes but not all the time!

DS slept in his bed again, this time he was in his bed by 9:30 asleep. Woke at 5am as it got windy outside and the blinds blew about and woke him! Grin it's getting better tho. 1st night managed to get him in his bed at 10, then next night 9:45 now last night 9:30 :) slowly getting earlier each time!
