Cruise - I agree with Tibsy - can you get your DH to take both your LOs for a couple of hours, out of the house, so you can sleep/bath/watch tele with no inhteruptions? You will feel sooo much better. I also wish I was closer, coudl give you a lil break...
Tibsy - thanks for kind words. I think it is you lot who have been the inspiration and support, but I shall take the compliment with grace!
My DP said to me this morning when he called form work 'is it me, or did our LO sleep right through last night?'. It was you dear!
I too have decided not to feed by LO apart from designated times at night, which is 3am or thereabouts. She can hollar, and I will cuddle, so will DP, will change her nappy, will offer her water, but no feeding. I tried to say next one wil be at 7:30am like it used to be, but its now somewhere between 6-7am!
She went to sleep at 9pm last night, I put her to bed, had a friend round, she wanted to be up, so would not settle, so we said sod it its friday she can come up with us!!!
She woke 3 times last night, but one was a coughing fit as she is congested. I do so make allowances for her!
She is off her food today, is still tired.
Genlay - sorry did not say gratz for your better night. Is it still going well? How was last night. If it went well, tell us your secret!!!
I feel like I had a good night though, less crying, although I did not go to bed until 12am, stupid of me as Lo did not wake up til 2am, so I could have had like 4-5 hours sleep if I went to bed earlier! Damn!
Am unsure about this idea of being mobile making them tired. I had hoped that was the case but my LO is crawling, and is also standing, taking the odd very wobbly step with her winnie the poo train. She is so active she just does not want to stop...
