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 put mine in as they get into bed or later on if the house is warm.

right he is going in a babygro - no vest and his new sleeping bag when it cools down later.

lil - ASDA have them for £10 HTH

he has woken up already!!

ok have finished off the feed he had fallen asleep in the middle of and put in sleeping bag, winded him. How long do I leave him howling for?

help

Has he gone off yet c?

I usually leave mine howling (rapter like screech in my case) for about 3-4 minutes which ususally sees him off.

cried for ages, is now watching th eEubanks in front of the tv. i give up. Am taking him to doctor tomorrow.

mine's whimpering - must go and re-dummy her. Refused to wake up for late feed last night so it was a long hour in the small hours of this morning...

...going to hand her to fathersuperior's tender mercies and watch monday's angel while chomping chocolate in preparation for long night ahead...

...good luck coddy...

went to doctor - of course he blew raspberries throughout BUT seems to have an ear infection - well the Dr thought so through all the wax.

So at ast we may have an explanation. amoxy all round

Good luck.

HOORAY!!!!!
Slept from 7pm (Wailing ) till 11 30 then till 6 30 am. I LOOOOVE him.

Of course tho I couldnt get to sleep at all!

That's better - the amoxy must be doing it's thing! CONGRATS!

Coddy, I thought you were saying the doctor was blowing raspberries at first

My ds always slept better when his grandma put
s him to bed because she absolutely buried him in high tog sleeping bag and blankets!! I know you aren't supposed to but the eskimo approach did seem to work re sleep and my ds was a horror baby for sleep. My face has never recovered. Mind you she is a very enthusiastic grandma so he's also always been worn out by her too.

back to sq one. woke at 8pm(just a s the microwave pinged with my supper) then 11 then....445 and we have been awake since then, well I have, he has napped.

No calpol last night

I'm still trying to work on an automatic waking at 3am, which is bloody stupid and driving me bananas I know.

Hope you do better tonight, cods.

Bet you don't want to hear this but I thought waking every 4 hours was fairly normal at that age. Of my friends only a very few have got their babies sleeping through the night at 12 weeks. (mostly bottle fed it has to be said). Mine varied from every 4-6 hours (which I thought was good) to every 1 1/2 - 2 hours (BAAAAAAD). But as I fed them lying down in bed, and they went back to sleep after they fed (didn't cry much except in the early days) on the whole it wasn't too awful. Only cracked the sleeping lark when they were about 9 months, but have never looked back since.

dd got her third tooth yesterday!! Hopefully this will mean more sleep for moi zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

A Proud Mum

st the mo he is only waking at 11 for a feed. MUCH better. think he planned to make me look like a liar so DH (now back form S Afica) cant see what the prob was.all the plants on the patio have died as I had no time in the evenings to water them. I am in disgrace!!

Great news Codswallop - gives me hope.

Buy him some tacky placky ones as an 'apology'?

Hope evaporating here, along with my energy reserves.

How old now?

sure its not temperature?

11 weeks. Don't think it's temperature except in the sense of possibly feeling too cold; she's also feeding like mad today so presumably growing. It really isn't that bad, just feels like it IYKWIM.

What does dh keep doing in South Africa, btw?
