Jan 2013 Part 4: More noises, movements and more sleep?! Hmmmm

New thread!

I leave B during the night until he's making persistent noise - I don't usually wake up til then anyway! He's always wide awake; he's never done the dream feed thing. I tickle under his neck or blow gently on his face to keep him awake...

He's still in with us but will be going in his own room once his blackout blind arrives and we've given it a good Hoover. Probably in the next week or so.

B is still mostly in 0-3 clothes Shock. I've started putting him in 3-6 vests but his other things mostly look far too big on him still (he's 19weeks). Sainsburys stuff is bigger though, as is Asda.

Hubby has taken B out for a long walk so that I can get some of this marking done. Bailey seemed to think that 3 15min naps today was acceptable so he's been doing my head in and I've gotten absolutely nothing done. He's just point blank refused to sleep today.

sorry, my phone autocorrects angiel to angel

we didn't have such a good night last night (although not too bad by the last few weeks' standard). I think it is teeth moving around again as she has been pulling away from the boob (with my nipple still in her mouth - ouch) and calpol stopped her crying this morning.

Well the holidays over af is back the bitch. So what was it a whole 14 months or 5 months.

Lora1982 · 08/06/2013 21:00

I spotted this on my need to shop travels... one for the sleep rollers if you dont want them rollingwww.dresswild.co.uk/Safe_Anti_Roll_Pillow_or_Mini_Mat_Baby_Sleeping_Sleep_Positioner_Bedding_Toddler/p672558_4573454.aspx

lora clever idea! Hope those that are having problems with 'rollers', see your link! My wee one is 21 weeks and still not showing much sign of rolling!

Lora1982 · 08/06/2013 22:43

It reminds me of a draft excluder for under doors :-D

octanegirl · 09/06/2013 13:41

Lora what sucky net thing?
It was my sisters wedding yesterday (fun) but my horse died this morning (was kicked and broke a leg) which was not fun. Luckily lots of guests were staying so they looked after LO while I dealt with vet and had a hole dug for her. Off to buy a tree to plant on the grave now. It's terribly sad as I'd had her for 20 years...

Lostbobbles · 09/06/2013 15:36

Octane, sorry to hear about your horse how awful, poor old girl rip xx
Hmm. Congrats to your sister and hope her schedule ran to plan Wink. The net thing is a fresh food feeder by munchkin and I think nuby do a version now.

I'm have a little lie down with DD2, DD1 is with mil. We have had a weekend full of kids parties.

mrsbugsywugsy · 09/06/2013 18:58

sorry about your horse octane

glorious · 09/06/2013 20:10

Oh Octane that's really sad, I'm sorry Sad

newbie6 · 09/06/2013 22:15

Hi octane , so sorry to hear about your horse. Same thing happened to my horse 3 years ago and I still miss him every day. I hope your lovely lady was put to sleep quickly and didn't suffer too long. X

AppleCrumples · 09/06/2013 22:55

Oh octane i'm sorry. I hope you're ok x

Ivy up more at night again! I've had to resettle her twice already since 7. Refused to feed her though as don't think she needed it! Her new tooth is obviouslt bothering her i really can't wait til it finally breaks through! Shes been asleep since i put teething gel on. I feel a long night coming on :(

Lora1982 · 10/06/2013 08:39

Im sorry octane :( thats so sad.

CreepyCrawly · 10/06/2013 08:44

Sorry about your horse octane :(

lollipoppi · 10/06/2013 09:00

Sorry octane hope your ok Thanks

Apple how did the rest of your night go? Is that her 2nd tooth coming through

DS1 is full of a cough and cold so were having a lazy day today

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend

Angielka · 10/06/2013 09:03

Oh octane how horrible. Hope you are looking after yourself.

AppleCrumples · 10/06/2013 10:10

Night wasn't too bad up every 4.5 hours. Lolli yes her 2nd tooth her first was hard work too. Am sure its because shes got them early as my others started teething early but didn't actually get teeth till 6+ months. None of them seemed as bothered by teeth!

octanegirl · 10/06/2013 10:33

As with everything LO put a huge smile on my face once more today - he rolled over for the first time, from front to back - TWICE!

Thank you for your messages about my mare, made me feel better. xx

Glad you've had something really positive today Octane and sorry about your horse. Xx

I remember what sleep is!! After struggling to go down and being settled 3 times last night, B did 10-4.30 and 5.20-7.50!!! A. MAZ. ING!!!! I had to ask hubby to make sure he was still breathing this morning as we were so surprised by his long lie!

Had THE most chilled out and relaxing day yesterday. Went for a long walk around the grounds/forest of a local castle then went to Yo Sushi for dinner and finished it off with a drink in the pub at the end of the road! I think it was just nice spending some proper family time together without thinking about meeting other people or stuff we needed to do. We both just totally switched off.

Hope everyone else has had a good weekend. The sun is back here so I'm going to make the most of it!

Ffs washing machine gone wonky...noooooo! Have so far extracted £1.62 from filter and tried different settings but i still have sopping wet washing and a huge pile waiting to go in!

Lora1982 · 10/06/2013 14:03

Ugh I had that the other day apples... I only got 45p though. Luckily my brother had a spare knocking about in his shed!

Im tempted to go sort through his 6+ clothes to see what I 'need' to buy.

Anyone elses youngster seem to be getting bored of their gym? He'll only stay on it for about ten mins

Pascha · 10/06/2013 15:45

Dan has for some time been more interested in lying on his tummy on DS1's car mat and watching him play/eating the cars. DS1 is less than impressed and the most common phrase in this house at the moment is "Stop squashing your brother!"

HmmHmm

Sorry to hear about your horse Octane. Hope your sister had an otherwise good wedding.

I can't stand the sucky net things. Just you wait till you have to get banana out and then you'll see what a bastard they are to keep looking clean and respectable.

My contribution to the links is the tinydiner Makes it so much easier when you're out and about and in full weaning/food throwing mode.

Birdies · 10/06/2013 19:55

Sorry about your horse octabne, hope you're ok.

lora yes X seems to get bored after about 10 minutes.

We've gone backwards on the sleep front, I'm starting to think its something I'm doing, or not doing. All the mums I meet seem to have babies who sleep through.

Birdies · 10/06/2013 19:58

Ps had anyone successfully weaned baby off swaddle? And how did you do it?

AppleCrumples · 10/06/2013 20:52

lora Ivy still enjoys hers but only now she can grab the toys and almost chew on them! Generally though shes more keen to get moving so prefers to go round in circles. Or be on her tummy like paschas little one! :)

pascha reminds me of my ds's when they were little althougg my ds1 was less restrained and ds2 had to.go to a&e after a car was bounced off his 8 week old head

birdies i don't think many mums tell the full truth in rl. None of mine ever slept through regularly till after 6-7 months bur i still.consider them all good sleepers as i only hqve to get up to feed then straighr back down again. Its normal for them to still be up at night as they are still so little. E
