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

[happyhow]

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 . 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.

Hope he gets well soon Lolli sounds really stressful x

How exciting Glorious, you must update us!

Went to NCT today. Not one baby still ebf. I guess it just gets too tempting. I am going to try to ebf with no.2 if we have no.2. That's if no.2 is a better latcher than this one! His latest trick is to try to push off me so nipple falls out. Also grabs handfuls of boob and pulls them out of mouth. So he really is dangling uncomfortably on end of nipple .

Ouch Meringue! How old is yours?

Lollipopi that's great that he's improving. How awful for you all.

I wish this weather would sod off. Daily Mail says it's here till August as Jet Stream in the wrong place. I hope they are wrong.....

Hmm well..that was mortifying! Repairman finalluly turned up looked at machine...turned it on..looked some more. Then announced i had 'unbalanced' it with a 'woolly pully' and that was why it wouldn't spin. So it worked perfectly now i had tried a new load etc so i'm a bit . he was nice about it tho probably because i answered the door with a baby covered in poo after poo explosion. I clearly needed my washing machine

Lolli glad hes improving but sorry you had to go through this. My dsis had awful asthma and our gp used to always come round with nebuliser until we ended up with 1 at the house full time.

He is five mo Octane

Sorry to laugh Apples! Sounds like the sort of thing that would happen to me

I had no idea it was possible to unbalance a washing machine. I've learnt so much on mumsnet! At least it's working now apples .

Oh and octane me too, I've been looking forward to this summer since I got pregnant!

It's probably not surprising that none of your nct group's babies are still ebf meringue as only 1% are to 6 months. www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-20406743 My DD is a bit younger as she was the very end of January but I think she's the only one in my group too and they are mostly December babies.

I told myself not to do it and I didn't listen!!! My name is lost bobbles and I am addicted to candy crush and I'm shit at it

Neither did I Glorious! Something to do with the drum spinning and too much weight in a sopping wet "woolly"?! he did suggest both me and my overworked washing machine might need a holiday

Oh well at least i'll know in future.

Octane i need the bloody sun! Although i prefer the rain

Meringue it was funny!

Oh no lost dp is constantly on that. Drives me mad!

Hi all, ds1 is doing much better! No oxygen or nebs so far tonight which is great, I'm sure we will be discharged tomorrow!! happy dance

I miss DD sad dance I've seen her lots today and went and fed and put her to bed at MILS which was nice but just not the same.
I'm livid too as MIL has got a dummy out!! she knows Dd doesn't have a dummy, she never has and I've reminded her of it tonight.

Lost I'm in candy crush rehab since my phone went down the toilet!

Good to hear DS on the mend Lolli, wishing you all a happy home reunion tomorrow. Why did your mil get the dummy out if you don't give it?

Lolli your situ does help put things into perspective but I'm still losing the will to live. I've been up three times already and have ended up feeding to sleep as she just will not settle and I have no resilience to try for long periods .

No rolling.

lolli how scary, but glad he is doing better now.

Back to 2 feeds a night here but early waking. DH off work for a bit though so I get a bit if a lie-in. Still a zombie though.

lora only side rolls here, when she feels like it. I met up with a friend though recently and her baby of the same age (5.5 months) not rolling yet either.

We're off on hols for a week this weekend, only a uk holiday but still should be nice, hopefully!

I always seem to find something to worry about though - X only has 3 noises - a squeal, a chuckle and (mainly) like a straining noise. She does the straining noise loudly, when pooing, bored, hungry, tired. Always the same. Is that normal?

Home sweet home!! So happy! He is much better, the community nurses will come and see him for the next 3 days to check his stats but all good otherwise!

Lost, mil thinks she "needs" one!? Nothing against dummies at all but why give her one if she doesn't have one? Anyhoooooo!

Birdies hope you have a lovely holiday and the weathers nice for you

I get the straining noise from dexter too although its obvious when its a poo strain compared to the tired groany strainy noise. Hes a proper moaner today :-( after he gave me false hope during our 'good morning' song. Does everyone else sing daft songs and rhymes? I was semi shocked the other day when a girl I half know said she had never sung nursery rhymes or anything to her two year old. Hope its not just me making a fool of myself singing...

Poonami has arrived. And straining sounds not quite as frequent! Oh no, spoke to soon, noises started up again!

lolli glad you're home.

lora oh yes - I have a tonne of daft songs. And I rarely call her by her real name! But may try soon as they're meant to start recognising their name now...she will think she's called Chuckles!

Chuckles well dexter is clearly called beautinz or chubz. We were saying his name to him and he'd smirk and turn to look but I think only cos he thought we were being daft again not that he knew his name

I get the groaning/straining noises too, usually when bored. Other than that he kind of grunts and oohs/ahhs, peppered with the odd squeal. No consonants despite what babycentre says! No chuckling either....

He hasn't rolled since the two times he did it on Monday when I parked him face down on the carpet.
He gets onto his side in his cot and hangs on to the bars as if he's on a heeled over sailing boat. Then falls asleep like that.

Lolli so happy to hear that! Such good news.

Glorious it seems like 90% of women on MN though!

Birdies/Lost I'm in the zombie gang with you. Sucks. Hoping it will pass before I alienate everyone around me with grumpiness!

Is it the frustrated noise you're talking about? I think that is his "Grrr" noise when he wants to do something he can't yet. Octane just today he started saying "dadadada" - typical!

Has stopped trying to roll but still regularly tries to jump up from lying on his back towards mobile or something above. His tummy time is v impressive now!

Lora I can't remember any nursery rhymes! Just sing pop songs to him, current favourite is "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" but with made up happy lyrics .

I sing and talk so much waffle shit it's ridiculous obviously in between playing candy crush

Need to pay more attention to DD2's chat, not really sure what sounds she is making

DH back tomorrow I have a busy weekend ahead mums night tomorrow, followed by wedding reception sat night. . Also need to book Father's Day dinner and sort cards

Birdies hope you have a lovely holiday

Ivy is constantly making noises. Loads of coos chuckles and random noises even when feeding! Can't remember who asked but my ds1 was so quiet and talked quite late which worried me so much i bought ds2 our current parent facing pushchair he has plenty to say now but hes a quiet personality iyswim. I have sung rhymes well Take That songs and wittered total rubbish at them all for years.

Frankly am.slightly shocked at the idea of not teaching them nursery rhymes!

Lolli glad to hear you're home. Must be such a relief x

Lost enjoy your weekend. We will be making cards on sat and have got dp a few bits for them to give him.

Ivy is currently desperate to get moving! And quite frustrated that wr keep stopping her from bottom shuffling off our laps! Clearly gonna be trouble this one lol

Thanks everyone :) Will be busy packing tomorrow so I will catch up with you all in a week!

apples yeah it's kind of :( to think of a baby not being sung to. I tend to make up the songs though, or at least change the words to something daft!

It sounds like lots of babies do the grunting noise then. No vowels or consonants here though, certainly no dadadas.

Anyone else use alot of baby talk too? I've practically got a whole different language when I talk to her!

Ps lost that sounds like a nice weekend, have fun!

A lot of the baby chat I use is words with inz stuck on the end... aww babinz what a beautinz etc.

Anyone else got a baby sock addiction?

On the nursery rhyme front I told her to get a cd and learn some songs! All the best ones are made up anyway cos they help keep us sane. There was an advert for edl energy a while back, I used to sing along to that for him "he walked into my life...and now he's taken over"

Have fun this weekend then lost! What have you done for fathers day? I got a card with peas on (he hates peas) which says ha-pea 1st farters day because im obviously still 6 and find it amusing also soaked the labels off beer bottles and made him a personalised beer bottle

What nursery rhymes do you sing Apples?
