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.

shes screaming and beinbg sick because shes full maybe?

Mine woke up twice last nght because he wacks himself against the bars... I use ear plugs so I dont hear minor wakings...

Jedy - hope your noght was better..

Also last night was a lot colder - if they fall asleep because they are snuggled try an extra blanket - i laways find those balmket thermoemters rather cautious.

She has solids at 5.00pm (equivalent to one jar or less) and a breast feed at 6.30 - 7.00pm. During the day she has breast feed mid morning and mid afternoon.

Solids are at breakfast and lunch andI don't stuff food into her.

Sorry - forgot to say that it is only when I first put her to bed that she is sick if she does not settle and starts crying. She goes straight back to sleep in the middle of the night. I put her down last night and she was near enough asleep, she woke up and cried for what must have been two minutes, whilst I answered the phone, by the time I got up there she was in such a state that she was being sick!

yes - i would say more at tea and less bf at night. mine - 5.5 months has 2 jars lunch and tea.

also hold her over your shoulder after feeding fir 5 mins.

if this doesnt work try the dr for ?reflux - could someone else help here as i know little about this,,,

Thanks, think I will go and see HV next week. I struggle to get much solids into her, she is just about eating two jars at lunch. Tea is impossible.

Feeling really sensitive at moment, hormones and nerves all over the place!

why is tea inpossible?

vis a vis bedtime - its each to their own...I am a morning person and find early mornings no problem, whereas at night i am so tired I want them to GO AWAY!!

I laso like time alone to catch up on the rest of my life(I have 3 boys)

I relish the evenings too but then when that early awakening comes I'd really like to relish that time too - especially at the weekend

tea times are impossible because it just seems to be really difficult to get any solids down her.
Now that I have written it all down I wonder whether she is getting tired as she won't sleep longer than 30 minutes in the afternoon, so by teatime she is too tired to eat properly and just wants the comfort of breast and cuddle but is obviously not as full as she should be. I think the puking is just because she gets so hysterical in such a small amount of time.

Regards to bedtime, i like them both in bed by 7.30pm. I am not a morning person, but it means I can get stuff done in the evenings!

Am going to take them down the park now to see if she will go to sleep and try and wear ds out

how long in the morning? Mne is veering twds one big sleep a day now.

maybe a feed at 4pm would keep her perkier for tea?

Morning sleep - if it happens - is only for 30 minutes ish as well. She is quite happy, but she must need more sleep than she gets!

Will try with later feed and see what happens. If all else fails, maybe I should give in, lock myself and ds in the house and try Gina?

i dunno - dont do gina...cant be arsed.

IKWYM

me too.

Coddy, she is still in our room for various reasons, mainly the fact she's only settled in the evenings over the past couple of weeks and she'll have to share with dd1; we're moving her into shared room with dd1 next weekend.

hooray for child free veenings - next thing to get rid of is ironing

no change no matter how tired he is and how little slept during the day. He's not hungry not hot not cold no pain. He needs a hug every 1,5 h and i'm hopeless mum and spoiled him

Jedy, you're not a hopeless mum.

DD2 back on the counter - she woke up for ages last night, although the fact she'd cunningly managed to pee up her back, inside her bag, may be a strong part of it (guilt oh guilt). Felt so guilty I fed her - she did keep going from 9pm to 6am without a feed and even settled herself back once or twice...am now thoroughly confused as to whether I have angel, hellspawn, or normal child...

...and our cleaner does our ironing. Worth every penny of the maternity pay I had to save out of my own self-employed earnings.

I tell you they are cunning, babies..its a good thing we love them because otherwise they would be out with the bath water

My dh in Brussels for two nghts this week so odds on ds3 will play up.

I do love him but not whne he wakes up all the time! at the mo its twice per 12 hour night.

I have reverted to the despicable habit of calling the hours between midnight and six - well, five - a 'night'. Which they clearly aren't, even I know that.

Saw this haggard fat person in the mirror yesterday.

Motherinferior - i'm really interested how the move of DD2 in with DD1 goes. Like yours, DS2 has just started going to bed at a reasonable time without fuss - we too want our bedroom back but I was going to wait until DS2 was sleeping through the night before making the big move.

Maybe moving him in with his big brother will help things !!!

its a very good thing we love them

All change here; a nightmare again till feed at 9pm...and then slept SETTLING HERSELF till 6am.

Unfortunately I have a blocked breast duct which kept me somewhat awake and in pain, but it's a wonderful way to mark her 12 week birthday.

my succes with 6mo waking up ONLY twice last night is not that impressive but i still enjoy it very much. sleep in 3hs shots gives some opportunity to rest

Hooray Motherinferior. I tell you, if I thought I could have a baby who slept through at 12 weeks I would seriously think about having another one. Fabulous news.
