Non sleeping baby up for sale.

[codswallop]

why will my 5 mth old not sleep through?
e=ven only one eed a night would be nice.

I love teenagers.

Used to teach them. So yes. what sex?

This thread reminds me of a story from the US. A fed-up dad put up a jokey message saying something like '8 year old for sale' on a parenting website and he got arrested. So, Coddy, watch out for those blue flashing lights.

c - didn't realise you were still having problems. ds2 is doing well now and sleeps through 3 out of 4 nights - we resist feeding him if he does wake and usually he just wants to smile and gurgle - annoying at 3am. Dummy and muslin usually settle him eventually

Cant say I know why he started sleeping through - I used a sleeping bag for a while but he fried during the hot spell and we havent got back into it yet - just a thin sheet and one layer of blanket but he is in a vest and sleepsuit. He is having three meals with pudding at the last two. Last meal at about 5.30 and last bottle at 7.30 - bed by 8ish.

I would try the snuggling up option again now it is cooler and stoke him up with as much food as you can manage - LOADS OF LUCK FOR TONIGHT!

Just a thought, Codswallop, have you considered trying a cranial osteopath/chiropractor?

Otherwise there's always ebay

codswallop - boy age 15 has lost the power of speech, just grunts at mealtimes and skateboards, and girl aged 12 going on 18 whose friends get new clothes everyday and do exciting things everyday and have their belly buttons pierced! (I had to wait until I was 36 to get a tattoo there is no way she getting a body-piercing at 12) how glad will I be next thursday when all 4 are back at school

Baby not for sale - slept from 6 pm till 4 30 am and then till 7 30 am

Hoorah

Hooray!

damn and i was going to offer you dd - naps in the day yesterday - 15 minutes and 20 minutes, you could have enjoyed lots of quality time with a narky baby!

p.s. it's not fair another record breaking thread title

I was going to offer you a 2-for-one swap. Damn!

My dd obviously knew her days were numbered as she slept till 5am then cuddled with me till 7am, hurrah hurrah.

Swap offer temporarily suspended.

Lol at you all.

thanks for the teenagers, i would have loved them but I coudnt stand the peircing and tattoo discussions!!

Metired, don't you know that dear little sleepless baby will only turn into a dreadful teenager anyway in a few years time?

Coddy, for future reference I find medicating yourself works quite well. A few lemonades and you will sleep right through.

Anyone want a 10 week old before I go completely barking?

Was trying to cut out night feeds - ie see if she really was hungry or would settle with the *ing dummy - and it worked for few days but last night it all ended in tears and mammoth milk session. And even when she doesn't feed she's still waking, dammit. DP reluctant to have her sweet little bonce mucked about with. Personally I'm nearly at the stage where I'd try anything including ringing social services.

Bet those teenagers sleep, don't they?

Swap it for a stroppy 13 year old!

Ooohhhhhh poor you motherinferior... and you had such a great brith!
What is her sleep like during the day ????
Can you nap when she does ?

10 weeks! you are joking!!

You arent doing Gina are you? Just feed her - it will sort itself out, mine has taken to a 8 30 pm feed and then goes through, why I tried all this cup of water crap I dunno

Offer on again. Awake from 3 45 till 5 am. am an expert on the headlines and the weather.

Codswallop - my 5 mth old dd is still waking up all night (yawn). Last night she woke up at 9.00 and could not get her back to sleep for another 2 hours - had just run a bath as well Usually she is waking up at 12 midnight, 3.30 and 5.30 and she likes to party!

Someone has told me to drink Slimfast made with full fat milk, something to do with making your milk richer when breastfeeding. But you may as well drink a pint of sawdust!

Anyway, good luck, I am off on holiday now

No, I'm not a Gina fan at all, but I suppose I feel if I'm doing something things will change at some point (can't bear the idea of starting work again in November with this little sleep!). And I know what worked with dd1 was actually trying to work out if she was hungry rather than feeding her whenever she rustles. Dd2 is a right dummy addict so that works - can't wait for her to find her own thumb...

Pupuce, fwiw she likes company while she sleeps; preferably to be out surrounded by large numbers of people, but visitors or, at the worst, just dd1 will do. She very, very rarely has a nice long nap when dd1's at childminder and it's just me and her.

As childminder has jetted off on holiday, so I have the joys of two little girls for the next few weeks, no doubt she'll get lots of kip in during the day, thus boosting herself for a nice long night ahead.

motherinferior - as you know, my ds didn't sleep through until 8months and had a night feed until 7months. Hideous, hideous, hideous. BUT once he got the hang of it turned into the easiest boy in the world. I think it's like Karma, it works out in the end. In the meantime, anyone who can help?? How's she with expressed milk from a bottle?

Motherinferior - FWIW..... I think she would benefit from learning to have good naps

Motherinferior, if you DD sleeps when there's lots of noise about have you tried putting the radio on at nap time?

twoce - 11 and 3

Haven't found an answer yet DS2 (2.5yo) doesn't sleep through the night yet! neither does DS3(10.5).
I have heard that Ketamine is good, Valium or mogadon failing all else a mallet!!
Metired, is it true that the 'terrible twos' are a walk in the park compared with the ' Terrible teens'?
