June 07 - Schools Out for Summer; well for some of us anyway

[LackaDAISYcal]

Anyway, she took a long while to drop off, but all I had to do was sit there. And we gave some infant nurofen before putting her down.

Blardy hell, DS is doing my head in. ~He is up EVERY night, for at least an hour, and last night it was 4, from 10:30pm to 2:30am. I cannot for the life of me work out what on earth is wrong and it is doing my head in. He goes down fine but then wakes up again and cries and cries unless we hold him, when he's generally fine, but takes ages to go back to sleep. He's awake now.

ARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry, just needed to vent. As you were

ouch fairyfay; having had one night of it with DD I'm still trying to recover. Is he warm enough? maybe he is waking up because he is cold?

hoping for a good night for you jammy.

DD didn't go down until 8 tonight. she was turbo-charged after tea; pasta seems to have that effect, but then she crashed immediately i put her down, after she said "nigh...."

Hugs Fairy. That would do my head in too.

OK, bedtime for jammy. Peaceful nights everyone

I'm almost certain he isn't cold, if anything he's too warm.
He does seem to have wind but I've given him gripe water and infacol and there's nothing else I can do.
I've not changed his diet.
He's not hungry/thirsty
He does have a bit of a cold but he has a plug-in in his room and I suctioned his nose before bed.
He has a tooth erupting but has had Calpol and teething gel.
He is fine during the day so I'm pretty certain he isn't ill/in pain
He goes down for his nap fine and to bed fine and wakes up fine

Am I missing anything obvious. I just hope to god that it's a phase. I can't take much more of this.

oooh, spoke to the local NCT training organiser. I am starting the NCT Diploma in Breastfeeding Counselling in September

PoP, how is your course going?

watch out TT.....here we come

That's great Daisy, I would like to do that too at some point.

Right, I'm off to bed and maybe be awol for a few days. Off to visit my friend (Lcy on here) who's baby is due in about 3 weeks! Can't wait to see her, though it is always exhausting going away with DD on my own. Plus it is a good 5 hour journey.

Hope you all have a good week and weekend. See you soon xxx

give Lcy my regards bumper; she's not been on the knicker checker thread for ages and i was wondering how she was doing. Tell her justjules has had her baby if she didn't know that already

He's asleep . Please send good vibes that he stays that way.

Bumper, have a lovely time with your friend.

Daisy - that sounds interesting

And I'm off to bed, in case he wakes up again.

I've been to a few postnatal groups PoP, and there is a next steps toddler group that started in April that I've been meaning to get to but haven't for various reasons, but not sure how welcome DS would be?

I know a few of the regulars at the PN groups as well as I see them at other groups, and another mum I know is starting in September as well.

Btw, sorry for your sleep troubles FF. Have you tried wake to sleep? Don't know much about it but meant to help with regular wakings.

Anyway, night all xxx

this is for Holly......still after a dishwasher?

i am soooooo tired. my god im getting really bad at logging on here lol
today my friend found out she was pregnant, so we are due within weeks of each other, which is so nice!

Congratulations Natty! I didn't realise you were pg - that's lovely news. When are you due?

Fairy - that sounds horrid, you poor thing. Hope you had a better night.

Well done on the bf course Daisy.

I've had a knackering day today but it is almost dinner time here and am really looking forward to getting the boys in the bath and to bed. The tv is on and dinner is in the oven...

I went to see Mamma Mia on Monday night and Sex in the City on Tuesday night - DH and I are out on Thurs night so all in all a busy week. Loving this babysitting-on-tap thing

good morning. Thanks for the vibes, DS stayed asleep until 7:30!!!! DD on the other hand was up at midnight . I was so tired that i broke my cardinal rule and let her sleep in with me - which meant she woke up at 6am as it was light in our room, but I dozed while she sung next to me, until 7.

We're off to a farm with my Mum today and then DD is going for a sleepover with my parents for 2 nights, so will just be me and DS for a couple of days which will be a bit strange.

evening/morning annobal

fairy sounds horrible hope you had a better night tbh if it was me I would probably just take him into bed with me

bumper have a good trip

am looking after my friends dd for a couple of days now so am taking them all to wisley this morning saves me making lunch

Fairy glad you had a better night.
