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 wonder how you're getting on lubu?

Spill the beans then about your night Jedy

MIne went from 6 till 8 30 when he had Medised... till 4. 30 am then till 6 30am.

Sort of ok I suppose, saw the HV today who reckons its because he is bionic all day and isnt so fat so he cant store it up. Does that sound plausible or a load of old crap?

It sounds plausible; you might as well go with it as at least it's a theory.

I personally have diverted attention from baby to boobs.

Thanks for asking Jedy, am feeling a bit less like a totally useless mother today! DD only woke at 3.00am and then 6.00am, so not too bad last night. Have jiggled feeds around so she is having more solids and seems to be working.

Still got no sleep though as DS(3) has kept me up for the last two nights with bronchitis - sounds like I have a seal in the next room! Has now got lots of amoxy and (free!) calpol to take - poor chap

Also - Dh took the night of last night and brought me a take away and let me stop in bed until 11.00am - bliss, felt like a lazy teenager again

Well done motherinferior - maybe tonight I wont jump out of bed quite so quickly...

I read the thread about sugar water and I have just given ds3 some medised in a syringe as he lies in his cot. WOnder if tis the sugar he likes and if a sucrosey solution would work.

every hour

1154pm then 6 45 am so better I suppose

Sorry your nights are still so bad everyone. Mine are still up and down. But thank you codswallop for telling me to start solids with my ds - he is settling much better for the moment...

1.30am and then 6.30am - not too bad.

Toddler was every hour near enough with nightmares, temperature, coughing, nosebleeds etc

Snuffles, dummy (sorry, kaz!) fed at 3.30 although that was partly me trying (successfully) to drain the bosoms...at least the breast duct is now clear. Which means, presumably, that tonight will be hellish.

Trying to get her to have Proper Nap at the moment, in cot with curtains drawn and everything. How come everyone else seems to manage to do this?????

Just glanced at nap or rather non-nap thread. Feel much better.

Jedy, that sounds just awful. And Lubu too.

Woke at 3.30, in kitchen, back to sleep and then fed at 6.30am so not that bad really I suppose.

Motherinferior - my DS2 refuses to sleep in the afternoon despite being knackered. He goes to sleep in the morning - 2 hours after waking for about 40 minutes, goes to sleep at night now ( 7pm to 7.30pm ) nearly without a whimper ( well has done for three nights ) but anything in between forget it. Got him in his pram outside at the moment trying to persuade him to sleep. Can;t take him for a walk as DS1 is asleep as we speak.

My dd sleeps well in the day for her naps BUT only in her cot. If I try to go out and hope she will sleep in the buggy, forget it. Next time round I will vary this as it is a pain if we want to go on day trips or whatever.

Ok night last night but I ignored her for ages at about 4am and when I eventually stomped in she was trapped like a starfish - arms and legs all through the bars, on her front with her head stuck in the air like a turtle. Felt bad

you have to forgive your toddler Lubu he has good excuse. and you MI are not in pain. it's always something. HV was today and ds is perfectly healthy and thriving baby (i'm not thriving that's for sure) very advanced for his age bit spoiled though. she said all i can do is to leave him to cry. how am i going to do that having him beside my ear, i'm so tired i already give in most of the times. but i'm not dead yet, i'll fight!

i saw 3 mo today who sleeps from 6,30pm til 6,30 am. what's strange he didn't look like a miracle on the first sight

but i'll get there too. Some time

Mimm, I cant remember telling you. !!This thread is very useful!!

DS2 is asleep - I'm off to bed !!

Jedy - I am very forgiving of toddler, he really is quite ill and he sleeps well any other time.

I also went to see hv today and she has said that dd is very healthy, and is just going to be an assertive little person. She also said leave her to scream and not to worry about her being sick - better get the spare sheets out

Hope tonight goes better for you all

i just tried to leave him to cry and now he's happy on my knees and i all in tears ashamed of the rest of family. doubt tonight will be better

when did he wake up this afternoon?

STOP BEING ASHAMED. You love him and you are tired.

Jedy - why are you ashamed - I can't leave dd to cry even though everyone has told me I have to.

it really is difficult, and everything does seem so much worse when you are so tired.
