December 2011 (drop-in) - The Trouble With Dribbles

[LittleMissFlustered]

Why is this waking 7 squillion times a night happening now, just as I'm going back to work?!
Will it stop?

Hope its a short lived phaseoi, DS is doing the same been waking every 20-30 minutes since about 10pm. 3rd night in a row. I have given up and just got up, he seems pleased!

Dear Bob on a stick, half 11 to half four, feed and straight back to sleep, then to half six.

Did one of you swap him?!

Probably just a one off, but I enjoyed it. And that was my last night shift (barring the odd one here and there) for the next five months, as DP takes over.

Today is official handover day, so I literally just have.

By the way, is it just the boys that are regressing- it's DSs for me, LMF, aethel, BJR, Oi, etc- are any girls doing it?

I take it you've wandered off into L-space then aethel?

Interesting Question northern. BabyYBR (DD) has been waking earlier in the morning (5-6ish rather than 7-8ish) and the last couple of mornings waking repeatedly from 5ish, however, the latter was because she's snotty.
OTOH last night she woke up at middle-of-the-night-feed time and then back to sleep (sample of one but I do hope she's about to drop that feed!)
Certainly not big sleep regression.

The octopus can't regress as he's never progressed beyond two hourly feeding:(

Think I have the bug that kept my four year old awake on Friday night. Feel nauseous and clammy, lovely:s

Is it time for a nap yet?:o

hiya girls. Okish night but frustrating: feeds at 11 and 3 but the 3am one lasted til 4.30 and rhen he would NOT hgo back down. I think he's grown out of the xl moses baskets bUT am a bit because DD2 keeps coming up and poking him in the morning/if he dozes "to say hello" which of course wakes him up. Trouble is they are about to share a room...
I think will ask DH if we can squeeze a cot into our room for a few weeks and then move his room, judt to minimise the amount of night traipsing. It' s just going on for too long, I'm bored of variable nights now. I know some of you are getting less sleep than me, but it's the fragmentation that's the problem over here ....

I'm scared of saying DD not regressing in case she does it tonight! But she's actually got massively better for the last 2 weeks. I was feeding every 1/2/3 hours a la lmf until a couple of weeks ago and then all of a sudden she started waking for a feed at midnight/1, then 1/2 and now it 2/3 from a last feed at 7/7.30 (I don't do dream feed). Really hoping it lasts.

lmf hope you're doing OK. D & V bugs suck.

DS has started waking earlier too YBR, on top of (or as part of) the regression. It sounds like your DD is having a mini regression compounded by snot!

I think it was partly meeting MissRee that got me thinking, as her DD is the youngest and is sleeping 9-9. I did inform her that I did was trying very hard not to hate them with every fibre of my being but then I started to think of all the people on the thread and it just seemed to be the boys regressing!

Just starting to go through a day with DP in charge, and keep on having to tell him to refer to the manual... Honestly, everyone says that babies don't come with instructions, and he's jammy enough to actually get them, so you'd think he'd read them!

Got another half an hour sleep during which DSS had wandered down stairs and fallen asleep on the sofa. Hes just woken up but insisiting he's not sleepy. So maybe boys are always a pain with sleep!

I'm drinking tea and planning a digestive for lunch if the tea stays put:o

Just hoping the nine year old doesn't get it, she's trying for 100% attendance this term.

Hoping all the regressing types give over sometime soon for you all:)

Ah but some of you are a month ahead of me (Freya was born 12 Jan, due NYE) and I'm learning that a month in baby development terms Is a looooong time! I'm sure she will regress soon enough... and I'll become bitch from hell as I really don't function on little or no sleep!!!

Nah, I reckon you've got it nailed with Freya! You'll probably have the odd night... Both my little bro and sis started sleeping through really early on, six weeks in my sis's case- they had some odd nights (my bro got a little obsessive about blankets being on straight in the middle of the night ) but overall no problems. Some babies just do

Should I be mildly amused that the child saved up only his second ever poo-wait-poo for DP just now, who was totally grossed out and 'what do I dooooo' about it.... !

I do hope so! Even her night feeds were ridiculous... She would have her last bottle at ten, then wake at 4, then 8. Then she dropped that 4am feed about a month ago and we moved the 10 to 9pm. I realise how lucky I am though.

The tea didn't stay put:(

All quiet here today on the thread those of you back to work tomorrow I hope you are enjoying your last day of may leave

Dh is off bird watching all day so lo is cooing in his jumperoo and I'm watching game of thrones box set.

LMF Hope you feel better soon.

We've got F1 on.....Come on Jensen

DP has just chopped up some swede & sweet potato for me to mash a bit for Darcie & then purée the rest for Sky....check me out being all domesticated kitchen goddess

Feel better soon LMF, there's nothing worse than D&V I cry like a baby when I'm sick

Oh no LMF, that's pants! Hope you manage to keep some fluid down. LOs are just germ warfare machines... Is there anyone to help out if you're ill?

I'm bouncing off the walls with delight and energy given last night's sleep MissRee - I have a horrible feeling that following Monday night, when I get my first full night's sleep since early December, I'll get headaches and be all out of sorts for my first day back.

The (ahem!) booby training seems to have gone pretty well. Fed him at 7; have just expressed 180ml, then will feed at 7 and then before bed. As long as I can keep this up at work I should be OK for the next couple of months.

Cheers figgy - I booked Monday as A/L to ease myself back in and to give another day's handover with DP. I'll have to introduce you, he luuuurves Game of Thrones!

Northern everyone knows men don't read instruction manuals!

Quick question for aethel, Eva is extremely sleepy today, should I be worried? She got up at 5, had a feed then went pretty much straight to sleep, woke at 9, half hour under her gym, another feed then back to sleep and has been asleep since. Her fontanelle is fine and she seemed herself when she was awake.

Could just be growth spurt sleeps seven? Freya has been massively sleepy the past few days too - she slept from 1ish until 3pm for bottle then back to sleep until 6pm waking for her bottle then was awake til 9pm feed then slept through til 9am. She does this every few weeks - I'm guessing thats when she does her growing
