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.

he had only half an hour this afternoon and was up at 6,30 so it would be alright for evening just he looked tired and wasn't happy. i picked him up after about 20min and at least settled and stopped whinging(i don't know the spelling) and was happy up to now, dh is feeding him and then i'll give him a bath. (i do the other way around- bootle bath cuddle, otherwise he would be fully asleep before the end of the bottle)dh said last night, when i was off and away ds did the same this time of the day- whinging and crying. i'm settled now but don't feel like start new aproach straight away. but will i ever feel like? uhhh
PS don't like when somebody (exept dh and mummy ) sees me crying...

he's there in his cot screaming his head of. when i went in he was up on four limbs facing the door. he'll never settle. i'm scared i'm hurting him

Jedy, how are you???

We got, bizarrely, seven hours last night. Am beginning to think a corner has been turned. Watch this space...

congrats! i have the same feeling! Gave in last night but crying seemed to do all good for him- next was 3 am what made 5 hours! We were beyond already but not for last 2 months! then 4 but didn't pick him up until 5 being in and out of bed every 5 - 10 min sticking in dummy and massaging back. didn't give drink and didn't pick up what was worth- since 5 until 10! and now stil in cot for long nap (since 1,30) . fell asleep in the cot, with little suck of water snd mummy rubbing back again, but it's far better then in my arms with milk! and saves me much of the crying so i'm happy! seems to work! Yyyyyha!

and i think i don't hurt him. and i actually think bit of crying has at the end relaxing effect. (not for me but it's not about me)

tonight left him in cot settled but awake and went to the kitchen to wait until he'll fall asleep. and he did without a sound! didn't take that much tears after all even if he stil won't sleep trough at least i don't have to give him bottle every time he's tired. i'm so glad i tried
how are you getting on cods? i wonder is there any connection between how he sleeps and if your dh is around or not? i heard of somebody whos dh was working away and was home at the weekend only. and ds kept waking up (and crying) during the weeknights up to 3 yo. he was perfect during the weekends

crap night again, plus dd1 woke up bellowing I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP I WANT TO WAKE UP...back to square sodding one...

No change here too MI

Better for me. Only woke at 2.30am and then 6.30am which is near enough to getting up time to be okay.

Probably go downhill tonight!

Tonight am going to try and leave him when he wakes up in the middle of the night and see what happens - can always retreat to the lounge if it gets to noisy.

It's been a busy day - his great gran, came down from Scotland to see him for the first time - so lots of cooing and chatting - so lets hope its all been too much for him.

Good luck ladies for tonight .

does any one else keep thinking - "this is the night he will sleep thru?"

Yep, every night.

They have both gone into new bedrooms tonight as just re-decorated, so don't know how long the peace will last. (As long as it takes me to run a bath or get the iron hot usually)!

Good luck!

i rather think- he'll go to the bottom again- last 2 days falls asleep only in the cot and both naps today on his own, without me or even a dummy, cries more today though. i think he's checking me and will wake up. but i felt teeth through the gums tonight! he's forgiven. good luck everybody. does she stil vomit lubu?

offer suspended! 12 hours only waking once!!

i am convinced its because his Dad is home from brussels. or the 7 month jar he had, or going swimming or the Cow and Gate biscuits he scoffed or or or - WHo knows? BABIES!!

Ditto Codswallop - new bedroom worked she only woke at 4.00am, 10 minute feed and straight back down untill 7.00am this morning - I feel almost human again!

Jedy - cried herself to sleep the other night and no exorcist styly vomiting at all

Maybe tonight will be 12 hours and no feed?????????

aha! well done

I love checking this thread. I feel I am not alone... My now 18 week old had a settled few nights on baby rice, but since starting carrot has not slept til 10pm. After 9 he just starts getting frantic. I think that he is teething as well. Please tell me that one day ds will sleep through. He naps well during the day and follows a routine happily. I just worry that the tireder I get the worse mother I become. Have been quite depressed.

try spud or somtrhing with protien/bulk

I wouldnt sleep for long on carrot!

Ps wea re aiming for 200 messages today!

Mimm - I am sure that they all sleep through eventually. My mum happily pointed out to me yesterday that they are only babies for a short while! Just seems like an eternity when you are up all night!

I was probably the perfect baby anyway

(only 3 messages to go)!

just a short one to get 200. congrats everybody must be good spell- mine once only. fells asleep only in the cot, without bottle, i don't pick him up at night and don't give him anything to drink at night.

200, 200, - how many more messages will it be before we all have babies sleeping through the night.

Left DS2 for 45 minutes thrashing around his cot before i got bored and went and picked him and stuck him infront of the dryer. Will try again tonight.

What scares me is people with 6 month + babies not sleeping through the night. DS1 was a doddle really on sleep and I assume that these people with non sleeping babies must be stressed out and doing something wrong ??? Are they ??? Could we end up with a non sleeping baby long term ???

cant you tape the dryer noise?

they will be non sleepers at 18!!!
