High Needs baby support thread

[LittlePixieMa]

Any of this familiar?

1 baby needs to be constantly held
2 feeds frequently during the day
3 feeds or comfort sucks through the night
4 won't sleep alone
5 HATES the pram and/or car seat
6 takes short naps
7 doesn't like being held / left with others
8 gets bored or over stimulated very quickly

Feeling exhausted and want some support from others with spirited fussy babies

If so join the club

captain, I am crossing every digit that this might happen with Badblet. Another dreadful night last night, bed at 7.30, awake at 8.30, 9.30, 10.15, 10.45 (into the bed with me), 12.30, 2.15 (for an hour and a half), then up at 6.15. I have a hellish week at work and I'm finding it so hard to concentrate. I think it might be teeth, but pain relief makes no difference to her. I'm feeling very bleak at the moment.

Keeping my fingers crossed for badblet and baby pixie!

We're on holiday and sleep has gone to shit. She's covered in a rash which we thought was chicken pox, but we actually think it is severe teething. Up most of the night the past two nights. Pleeeaase let tonight be better...pleeease...Good luck everyone!

Oh no, poor Baby Purple.

Sending sleep fairy dust to everyone! Xx

Oh my god, sleep is going from bad to worse. The last week he's woken every 1/2 hour!! I feel like death. Will this ever end?!!!!

Oh no! You're not alone. I have to leave for a work trip at 5.30 am and DS has already woken 3 times since 7pm.
Why won't they just bloody sleep when they're tired ???!!!

So glad I'm not alone! Poor us!! I was hoping by 16months he would be sleeping better!! Sure my brain cells are slowly dying off!!

Ladies, I have a question please...
How do you teach your lo's to be held/stay with others?? My DS hates everyone including his aunties and grannies except me and DH and I need some breaks sometimes!!

Hey
It tools ages for my DS to be okay with the inlaws, we persisted and they had him just 1 hr a week to begin with. Lots of tears at first, but after a few weeks he was fine!! He won't sleep with them so I have to avoid nap times, but he's happy there now.

Keep trying, they get used to it. Xx
