could be cunty. Growth spurts are the only time Squeaks seems really interested in milk and finishes bottles. But they also exhaust her and I have to make sure I don't push her. Does Rastus usually get wakeful during growth spurts? Squeaks has been night waking for weeks before this spurt. It's not food. I think it's always either developmental - the nights when I look in her cot at 3am and she's wide awake, giggling with her toes just about in her mouth and refusing to go back down. Or teething - when she wakes up screaming/angry and cries and cries until given gel/cuddles/tighter swaddle/food, basically anything we can try and eventually nods off because she's exhausted herself. Either way, I find all the good that has been done from the first block of good sleep (five hours+) is generally undone as I struggle to get to grips with her post 3am and by the time we get up I am shattered again.
I've not taken her to be weighed since just before 8 week check. Guess that's why I don't see HVs.
Thanks for the kind words honey.It's not actually weaning that's a problem. She'll take food when she's hungry, and I would rather she finishes her milk than scoffed loads of porridge, because milk is so much more important at this stage. Nah, it's trying to get consistent nap times that's the struggle. But we'll persevere.
Don't be down on how you look - I loved your latest FB photo. You still have a lovely glow. Enjoy that rest and feel better soon.
right, I should get off here too. Husband just come home from the gym, baby nodded back off, so I should do something constructive.
