Hey whatshesaid, welcome back.

I've got 2 DCs too - DS: just 2 and DD: b 27th july. DD suffers from silent reflux, caused or exacerbated by my superfast flow, since realising the problem we've managed to reduce her symptoms without meds. Most of the time now she's fine but will have a refluxy flare-up if something goes wrong with my supply or her position.

Hopefully all the reflux babies will start to grow out of it soon. DS had the non-silent kind and he certainly got slowly better from 4 months, tho wasn't free from it til about 8 months as he was slow onto solids.

DD is one of the ones who sleep-thru (with a dream feed) but as ds1 often wakes us and they're a tag team from the early hours, there's no smug 7-7 smilies here!

dh how's the boob?

fizzy how are things with you?

spirael v jealous of your 7am wakeups! Really hopeful we can get back to that as I'm waking up so grumpy with everyone at the mo.

Not up to much here, dh is giving me a lie-in by taking ds out for breakfast but no sleep til madam goes back down. Ah, looks like she's about to!

The artists show isn't til next week (I got date wrong) so not sure what we'll do today. Probably lunch and shopping trip somewhere.

tsc would you go abroad right now tho with toddler AND baby?

Hope your day with clara does the trick. I had a shocking day with F yday. Felt properly angry with him for first time in a while, he'd been an angel for weeks but was just horrid horrid yesterday. Not that I'd ever hit him, I just hate feeling so angry with someone so small. He was standing in front of me trying to hit me as I was asking him to say sorry for hitting me! Grrrrrrr!

Probably the bloody teeth again. Sigh.

(Why post once when 3 will do?)

tsc you're right. I managed to forget that it actually gets harder once they're moving. Will tell dh I'm open-minded re going away now and see what he suggests.

DesperateHousewife21 · 13/11/2010 13:19

Ladies...

We've just got back from shopping, Dylan had a little nap in the car on the way there, we laid him on his mat on the floor when we got home and he went really quiet, whereas he usually thrashes around, cries, generally makes lots of movement and noise.

He has now calmly fallen asleep on the floor with no encouragement/feeding. This has NEVER happened before and we are a little worried that something is wrong.

Any ideas?

He slept for about 25 mins on the floor. He is fine you were right!
It was just so weird that he was laying there really quietly and still.

Bit annoyed with DP though, I went for a sleep so gave Dylan (fed) to him to look after for a while.
He came in the bedroom about 1 hour later saying in a pissed off tone "he wont stop moaning I dont know what to do with him, apart from chuck him in the bin"
I got out of bed, took Dylan, came in front room where DP then continued playing the xbox Hmm
Well yeah he is going to moan if you ignore him and play on there, funnily enough they need attention pretty much constantly.

Tried to tell him, he pretty much ignored me. He wouldnt cope without me.

WhatSheSaid · 13/11/2010 17:46

Thanks for the welcome backs Smile

stac14 my dd is on ranitidine too. I don't think it has totally got rid of the reflux but it has helped a lot. Dd's worst time with it seems to be about 4-5 am, resulting in me sitting up holding her at that time, her going back to sleep about 5 and then dd1 waking about 5.30am!

I thought I had the whole sleeping thing sorted when I had dd1 as she was only waking once a night from about 7 weeks and slept through quite early too...dd2 has been totally different.

WhatSheSaid · 13/11/2010 18:06

Oh and dh my dh was pretty useless when dd1 was a baby... as much as he loved her and everything he did a lot of the bringing her to me saying "oh I think she must need a feed" (when she had just had one)...he has got a LOT better as she has got older, I think sometimes new fathers aren't that great at knowing what to do with babies.

Grr at the X-box though, dh used to play his for hours too...he has grown out of that a bit too.

Morning all,

Pleased to hear you had a slightly better night mlic. Fingers crossed the solids are working! Try a sunday roast today maybe? ;-)

Anyone a dream feed expert? I'm determined to get A to go back to waking later in the morning but I seem to be having the opposite effect.

I decided to give her an earlier bedtime feed last night (6.40pm rather than 7.15pm) as she's getting too frazzled to take a proper feed after 7pm lately (which might be the cause of her waking early). I then fed the df an hour late at 12am as I'd only just got back from the Thai. And so she next woke at 5am which is even earlier than usual.

What's the best time for a df? Previously 11pm seemed right as it stopped her doing her long stretch in the evening instead of the night. I'm hoping that the combo of getting that bedtime feed in her early plus a df at 11pm might work but keen to hear if anyones knows differently.

Oh and Felix just ran out of the bathroom naked where he was supposed to be having a shower with DH, said poo poo and then weed all over the bedroom carpet. Wonderful.

Dh has just asked if I fancy having breakfast in highgate (no, I have no idea why highgate either) but all I want to do is sleeeeeep.

What are you all up to today?

Oh man, i soooooooooo wish my folks lived closed and that we had someones house to go round to for dinner. Devon was up a lot last night, not wanting a feed just not being being able to get himself off to sleep, i rocked him to sleep in the end. Does anyone still swaddle? Its his hands, he just plays with his hands all the time, which is good but i think it keeps him awake.
Dh has had a new phone and cant stop playing with it so he is lost to technology for a while now. Id love a sunday roast today, wonder if I'll be arsed to do one??
Whats everyone else doing? Has anyone brought a high chair yet, i might see if DH wants to buy one for his son today as i have naff all money!(which is making me fed up too as i need a winter coat and some boots!!)Yep i defo need to snap out of this mood(vik slaps herself in the face very hard!!)

TCS TUT at ur DP whats wrong with them. Mine is generally very good but i cannot stand the constant moaning when he is feeding Devon because he wont sit still!! OMG hes a baby, hold him still!! he stormed off earlier saying he doesnt know why he bothers trying to help..........Ermmmm coz its ur baby too......isnt that why?? Div!!
Jesus i seriously cannot get past this hightend emotional state, i cried at a song on the radio and at the remembarance service today and have been a blubbering wreck for an hour or two most days last week. Devon hasnt really slept today and is really moaning and cant settle to anything, i think he is sickening for something, DH is bouncing him in his bouncer, thats about the only thing keeping him quiet. Its peeing it down here so we all have cabin feaver and about to rip eachothers heads off.........and i have been looking forward to the weekend........WHY!!!
