wil check YouTube for how to tie your sling?

so tired and fed up today...reply properly later. may take notes xx

willywallace · 27/02/2015 13:12

Have checked a million times but still not confident about legs and head. Want to get a carrier so I can't mess it up but will find out what's happening first.

I don't think it came across badly at all zyla, don't worry. I'm pretty hard to wind up Grin .

Poor little toot keeps waking up screeching like she's sore.

JuniDD · 27/02/2015 19:47

She'll soon tell you if she's uncomfy.

DD appears to have been uncomfy MOST OF THE DAY. I've just been trying to put her down for the night, won't feed, won't let me pat her. So left her with MrJ downstairs and come up with my laptop and a big glass of squash. Hell, last night was ridiculous so they can sit downstairs and eat chilli and I'll go to bed.

On the bright side, my mum bought me a new dress for a wedding soon. Deleted a rant about being overweight...must do some Pollyanna-ing instead of grumbling...tis hard sometimes though, eh. Sad

willywallace · 28/02/2015 01:00

I'm sure she's probably comfy but it might still be messing her up.

She will not stop fucking crying. It is doing my nut in. She stops to feed - which is then obviously making her feel shit, so she cries more. Aargh, actually tearing my hair out. Seriously thinking of giving up bf and getting the formula you have Min. I know that's what the problem is but I'm finding it too hard to cut it out my diet.

ZylaB · 28/02/2015 03:43

Aww wil poor microwil, can't suggest anything helpful as I'm still clueless, but sorry she's not settling.

Minion · 28/02/2015 03:55

Oh bless you both! Don't feel bad if you do end up bfing. You have to ultimately do what makes it better for you, then she will be happy too.

MINIon has decided that once again is leg slamming time. So I've barely had a sniff of sleep.
Again.

willywallace · 28/02/2015 05:16

Leg slamming?

This ranitidine doesn't seem to be helping at all. I think she was more settled on gaviscon.

ZylaB · 28/02/2015 08:50

Last night was DH's turn to set,the her between feeds, so I slept in the spare room and he brought her for feeds then took her away again. She was an absolute star for him! Settled really quickly after nearly all her feeds, she's working on wrapping him around her finger already! Lol :)

ZylaB · 28/02/2015 08:51

*settle her between feeds

ZylaB · 28/02/2015 08:51

What's leg slamming min so sorry you and wil had bad nights

willywallace · 28/02/2015 11:53

My night is actually fine after 2am. Just don't know what to do with her between 9-2.

Aw sounds like H is doing really well.

ZylaB · 28/02/2015 12:08

She was really good wil I just bet she doesn't do it for me and then thinks she's funny lol! :)

RPopz · 28/02/2015 21:53

Just put DS to bed upstairs on his own for first time ever! He usually just goes when I go up, but was obviously exhausted and would not settle down here and I didn't fancy a 9pm bedtime!! Miraculously no crying yet Shock I miss him Blush

Minion · 28/02/2015 23:44

When she is being sleep active, she twitches her arms and legs, usually the left side together.
However when she is swaddled both legs are secured together so she lifts both them up and slams them down.
Cause the mattress is hard she makes a racket and wakes us up.
She however, is happily fast asleep!

willywallace · 01/03/2015 01:18

Ah yes! MiniWil used to do that in her sleeping bag. Not sure I've noticed it with this one yet.

How did it go Popz?

We're still failing to move bedtime any earlier, she's still blooming awake. Any ideas at all?

ZylaB · 01/03/2015 02:47

Been up for an hour and a half now. This only behaving for her daddy isn't funny any more!

Minion · 01/03/2015 09:51

She slept thru!
She blooming well slept thru!!

Would have been wonderful if only we'd realised she was asleep and hadn't got up too.
Then she did a mega poo, I mean, truly adult sized mega crap and woke her up.

Still tho!

willywallace · 01/03/2015 10:15

Hurrah Min! May it be the start of many nights to come.

Sorry your night was crap Zyla. Sometimes they don't settle as well for mums as they can smell the milk apparently.

We got five and a half hours! Well she did. I had a giant sore boob and had to express but hurray!

willywallace · 01/03/2015 10:15

Or hooray even

ZylaB · 01/03/2015 11:07

I wondered that about the milk wil!

Yay for good nights min and wil Grin, we've just had a lie in cos she zonked out after 7am feed for 3 hours. Si I'm ok now :)

RPopz · 01/03/2015 11:15

Hooray for sleeps all round!! He slept from half 9 til 11 and then I went up and fed him and changed his bum and he went back to sleep like a normal night Smile But DH kept me awake with his bloody outrageous snoring instead!! I'm wondering if we should try for an actual routine now after that small taste of success.

Haha, DS does that min when he's wrapped in his blankets. It makes me laugh - he looks like he's at the gym doing leg lifts Grin

willywallace · 01/03/2015 11:23

What do you do at night to get him down for 9.30 Popz?

Minion · 01/03/2015 12:49

R's down by 8 at the latest. We just feed with living room lights off and TV turned down, then whisper.. Probably should be normal and noisy but it works for us.

Here's hoping she'll carry on now eh

ZylaB · 01/03/2015 13:16

H won't go to bed until 10.30ish, hmmmmm (I think this child is conning me about how things should work!)

RPopz · 01/03/2015 13:30

Tbh Wil - I usually just take him to bed when I want to go, usually between ten and half past. I wrap him up ready for bed in his blankets and feed him in our bed and then when he drops off I do a stealthy transfer to the bednest. If he wakes up I give him a dummy and he'll just lay there chatting til he drops off, if I'm lucky! I think he knows the difference between day and night now - quiet and dark in our bedroom, in the bed nest with his nightlight on. He won't really settle down like that in the day to nap. I only took him up early last night cos he was so crabby and overstimulated but he won't admit defeat as long as he's downstairs! And I couldn't be arsed sitting there waiting for him to drop off and I wasn't tired so thought I'd just leave him and chance it. He must have been knackered! We don't really have any specific bedtime routine.
