Morning
Very VERY tierd this morning so much so that ended up in tears, think we have done too much lately and its all caught up with me.Also after her 6 week growth spurt Fleur has found it hard to go back into her normal pattern of feeding so up more at night.
Think it was rolf or Josie cant remember who said they found it hard to settle baby at night as wanted comfort from mummy. Fleur has started this. I was doing the whole bedtime routine all combined ie feed, bath, massage, cuddles then bed but she wont settle after so much mummy attention. So im going to feed her downstairs and give her "playtime" then bath massage and bed. And DP is going to do last bit sometimes too. Maybe an idea for you whoever it was to try too??
I know she is still little to sleep upstairs and understand bedtime but she really doesnt sleep downstairs very well at all, any noise wakes and annoys her and cause she is so alert she wants to be in on all the action!!!! Am i the only one who has already moved Fleur to her own room??? Felt bad about it at first and extremly worried but she sleeps much more soundly in there and i follow all the other SIDS guidelines.
Plus had to go back to labour ward to have scan as have been having stabbing pains and a constant ache down below bit like period but feeling very heavy (sorry if tmi) Scan showed no remains left etc and stiches all healed fine. Dr diagnosed unknown pain!!!! and said take paracetamol (even though i told him paracetamol does nothing) and come back if worse. Anyone else had or has this? Could it be ovulation I am now 6 weeks post pregnancy
Fleur is doing well being very good and even getting too big for some of clothes!!!She does have a stuffy nose at night and first thing in the morning, sounds a bit croaky, but she is feeding well and is her normal self. Should i worry bout it and take her to drs? I do have saline drops but dont know how to use them.
Re dummy use, if fleur didnt have one she would either be constantly on the breast or chewing her fingers when she wants to sleep. We make sure that we try to use it when she really wants it and if it falls out we dont jump to put it back in we wait to see if she really wants it back. And she had hers from 5 days old and took a bottle at 3 days due to being in intensive care and it hasnt interefered with her feeding at all.I do beleive in the training them whilst young approach.
Last query how many of you are speaking two or more languages to your LO. DP and i thought it would be hard but actually its ok I speak to her in English (sometimes spanish if in company of drs etc) and Dp speaks to her in DUtch, we also play dutch adn english lullabies.
Wow mega long post hope everyone ok today and its all going well xxxxxx
Oh and can we post on the antenatal thread to say we are over here now??? Or are we still waiting seems like some post on both and others on only one so its a bit confusing to read etc!!!
