can't sleep won't sleep 3

[KittyAndTheFontanelles]

over hear night owls . Unless we are somewhere else

ok, littlekitty hasn't slept for 13 hrs and is refusing still. I'm exhausted as we have both only had 4 hrs last night too. Any suggestions before I cry? She's had calpol, refused her tea and bites me everytime I try to breastfeed her. She just wants to wear my bowler hat and run around with intermittent wailing

I could very easily lower the time if it helps!!

Sorry kitty x posted!!

Poor Kitty. Only idea I've got is - Go through bedtime ritual whatever that is for you. Make room nice and dark, put her to bed, sing lullabies. Creep out. My DD tried the pick up put down method with her little one. Although she said it did require patience. I will send calming sleepy vibes.

TONE not time!!

Oh dear. Having a simple beer and popcorn, and I have got 'The Lip' and the forehead lump, and various others. Antihystemine cocktail here I come.

Oh no mini [sad:]

Oh and mini i see you the gadet show and rise you back to back esps of burn notice on the 5 th one at min

Poor mini kitty sending good sleep vibes too

Sympathies stars back to back anything bodes ill.

oops lumpymini again is it wheat? hops? sigh. allergies are such a pain. ds1 allergic to all things cow and dd allergic to feckin grass...
i need just thinking about it

littlekitty is definitely on duracell gold can't you take her batteries out? ds2 was one of those, energiser bunny kid. we used to have to go badass robot parent on him and do routine with no regard for cute grins, attempts to play, squeals, distraction and all the tricks they learn at babyschool.

kitty, might sound stupid but have you tried to drive around in your car with little kitty in the car seat, this works a treat for a lot of lousy sleepers, might be worth a try if you havent tried it earlier make sure you drive around on some long stretch of roads with no or little street lights on.

My suspicion mrsshrek is that my DH cooked stir fry and used soy sauce. I have suspected soy sauce before, and I was doing so well. Lets hope baby kitty has gone off..

I remember doing that too sd. And the other trick was putting norty baby in pram in the living room, nice and warm, fire on, telly on... after a few mins of complaint, then baby (and me) asleep

ooh, soy allergy quite well researched, as I'm sure you know. link to peanuts and pulses iirc?

kitty I will do my best to watch this tonight but might doze off , been up since 3 this morning .

Thank goodness at least someone does not picture me as a gnome on this thread what is it then

yes mrs shrek, my little one sleeps when I start talking on the phone to some friend. After a few minutes of ignore and being bored he sleeps if he is already tired enough. I guess it is the boredom which leads them to sleep.

where is jynier, havent seen her for a while.

Oh dear totaly having a michael weston overload dp just put another esp on though guess its better than a eveing of esps of moonshinners ( which we had a few nights ago )

Sorry summerdad. I will try to over ride gnome picture. Grovelly emoticon.

Did i need to override the image of sd as flowerpot man sitting on a bright red metal bike next to the rose bushes hehe

I don't mind gnomes or dwarfs as long as the locations are erm ... exotic

Hi all and thanks. She finally went off at nine but woke ten minutes later. She's off again now but for how long? I've just realised she did this last Monday too

Thank you for your suggestions, I don't want to knock them all back but unfortunately the only way she will go off is by feeding to sleep. She will sometimes go off in the car but her snooze won't survive the getting out of the car so won't translate to the cot. My dad can sometimes sing her to sleep but with me she just cries for booby

I know I can't go on feeding her to sleep forever and times like this almost make me want to stop but usually it's so lovely just exhausting

Ever-ready bunny is exactly right, Mrs That's exactly what I say.

I.dissected.a.pelvis.

and I don't remember my muscles. or my pelvic anatomy. which is unfortunate as I am examined on them for 3 hours in June. THREE HOURS IN A HOSPITAL BASEMENT WITH BODIES. errrrrmm.... asis?

Midwifery, I always thought about doing it... but I got scaredy after working in law for a few years as such high litigation risk and such high incident rate and stress central. To me, being a doctor seemed less scary than being a midwife.

MrsShrek postgrad psychology is terrifyingly clever territory

Bluey were you a lawyer-turned-law lecturer? can you help me

Kitty can you help me with chemistry

This is great, I already have themidwife on board! somehow this thread can make me pass!

Ireally need to stop signing up for simultaneous degrees. doing three at the same time was not a good plan

mini despite doing both law and medicine, I never did my A levels started seven and went off the rails horribly

jynier how are the feet today? any pain/redness/heat?

I cannot help but imagine SummerDad now as a veery shrunken slightly portly Roger Daltry with enormous fingers
