PP I am sorry to read you feeling like that (((hugs)))

Another shocking night here. On sofa with a baby that is vomiting everything he drinks and will not sleep for more than 30 seconds.

I am broken too

He appears to be sleeping. Now to try to get some myself. Fucking colds and fucking snot just fuck off and leave us the fuck alone.

DH said to me last night that he is worried I am not getting enough sleep. No shit Sherlock! Sometimes I wonder if he even sees me. Perhaps I am too good at looking like I am coping. I was quite horrified when I looked in the mirror earlier. Did not look like me, but some old haggard thing.

Crap night here too. 12, 2.30, 3.30 and 5.15. And it's now half five and dd1 has decided to get up for the day. DH has just gone to the airport.

Teeth? Growth spurt? 6 month sleep regression dragging on? 8 month regreesion starting early? Or are those few weeks of sleep from
jan and feb all I ever going to get?

Awful night here. She was up every hour, couldn't breathe. Also decided that rolling over supposed to be done at night time but she couldn't roll back. Yawn. And assignment still not done.

4 month regression paused for a week then bit with a vengeance. Will see nice mw today for advice but can't afford formula so they can fuck off if they think I'm topping up. I get 2oz in 5 minutes expressing so there's obviously something there,just maybe not enough?

Thing is she's not crying. At least not unless I leave her too long. She's just awake, and if she does cry she stops immediately I arrive.

I amSo of DH getting a decent night's sleep tonight. I al going to put DD1 to bed early and go to bed early too. There was I looking forward to a nice evening watching British TV. Sod that. If I am to be woken five times I want to sleep first.

pp 6 month growth spurt?

vq thanks. Hoping its a cold rather than reflux

izzy omg how scary? Def get seen by gp. Hugs

Just to buck the trend and keep me on my toes, O pulled out one of his best ever nights last night. 8-12.30 1.00-5.45 and in with me from 6.15-7.25.

Now if anyone can tell me what caused him to sleep so well I will be very grateful.

Detective how did your night go?

Fuck, just seen the news

chasing the risk is for babies up to three months. Just be careful if he's sleeping on you that you don't roll onto him. They're now bigger and stronger.

Can you believe this? !!!!!
They have just changed the advice for where babies sleep.

Now they want baby to sleep in cot, not with parents!!!!!!

FFS

Evil

Where the fuck are my fucking matchsticks??

Seriously, constipation can effing well do one.

Det how did things go in the end?
Chasing did you sleep last night, or was it just O?
Izzy that's very scary, and not at all helpful that there is no suggestion of what it is he reacted to. Are there any plans to do any kind of testing?
PP I hope pidjchick starts to sleep for you, it's an awful place to be, especially when it feels like there's no light at the end of the tunnel.

Morning.

chasing the real risk factor is pre-3 months. A hour or so dozing on the mornings is highly unlikely to be a risk. Don't worry - the advice hasn't changed the BMJ are just suggesting that the guidance be more definitive when the baby is very young

Just realised LO drank 11 ounces overnight in three goes

i have to start writing things down so I can work out s pattern. She's not ill or in pain or frightened. It is definitely hunger or thirst. Wonder if it's because she is no longer in the room with us and the humidifier

Very strongly advised against co-sleeping here.

That's right pennie. They still think babies should be in the same room just not in their parent's bed which has always been the case. I think I was given a leaflet which said about how to do it if you really must. And the guidance hasn't actually changed but the BMJ are suggesting more clarity

Sorry I got the wrong end of the stick. I thought they ment they should sleep in thier own room.

Need more tea I think.
Sorry

fucksake wrote a huge post n lost it. well not huuuuge but huge. basics of it were....

all round, so many crap nights, hope poorly babies get better soon, glad you had a good night chasing and how was yours in the end detective?

They are going to be talking about co sleeping on radio london at 9

Co-sleep or no-sleep. That's how things roll about 50% of the time in the pig household.

I think chasing meant Oklahoma tornado. Very very sad news.

There are some interesting threads about the article. I am not sure anything has really changed TBH. Well, it definitely hasn't because this is just an article. We had never had P in the bed with us until the last week when she has been snotty and that has been for 45 minutes. We never considered it an option and thankfully P didn't need it. Many babies do and what these news reports don't cover are ways of co-sleeping where it is planned and structured. It works beautifully for many people and I am convinced that it aids the establishing and maintainance of BF

I don't know. I think it runs the risk of becoming a bit like making up bottles of formula. Everyone knows the 'right' was of doing it but it is just not practice. So people lie when asked by HV while muddling along themselves.
