Hello, is there some sort of 12-step program AA styley for blw, because I definitely need to get with the one about serenity and acceptance.
Have been doing it with my third-born for about 2 weeks and it makes total sense to me and other people's "oh my baby was just starving at 3 months and was having four course meals by 4" sounds like utter nonsense. And yet I have a couple of problems. No, not the gagging thing, but:
a) she doesn't eat anything, well nothing that I can see in her nappy anyway. I remember with dd1 being amazed by how quickly the poo transformed into smelly yuk and so this time did a little mourning in advance of losing the yeasty bread nappies, but lo, they keep on coming. She is now at the very bottom of those curves, has nice plump legs and does all she's supposed to but you know how those charts tyrannise.
b) she doesn't sleep. I mean really doesn't sleep, wakes five or six times a night, sometimes stays up.
She picks it up, mouths it, throws it around etc and it's very sweet, but this sleep thing is so awful that I'm tempted to try any number of possible solutions including trying to bung her up with some gunky puree. Think too I maybe have issues about feeding my children, in part because my first born was way too skinny and in part because all women do (cue angst from those who can't bf).
Anyway, what I need is some cheerleading from proper blw apostles. Especially from Aitch who I am developing intellectual crush on. Maybe intellectual wrong word, nutritional?
