Oh no Amy. I am on my own with 2 if it helps lol. Dont feel bad re drinking, its not a lot at all.
Have you tried singing if he is grumpy? Works a treat for us, shuts up both and we do signing with hands with my toddler

I wouldn't call it singing lol! Sounds more like a strangled cat. I've got some music I try sometimes.

Main thing I'm struggling is picking up his cues. He doesn't seem to have a hungry cue, since he is always trying to eat his hands, muslins, my hand, shoulder etc. And as he is being sick more often which I think may be down to him being greedy, I try to avoid offering boob first. Even at the first sight of eye rubbing he refuses to be allowed to sleep and it's very difficult to stop him getting overstimulated because he is so nosy. If he is awake he needs constant stimulation, something different every 5 minutes and I struggle to do that.

He is still asleep though which is great

Well....an interesting day so far. JJ has his 2nd round of jabs - cue screaming It was over pretty quickly thank goodness - he only cried for a couple of mins. I didn't cry this time - hooray!!

Had to rush him back down there though for an emergency appt as DH was changing his bum this morning and there was about a tbsp.'s worth of blood in his nappy! He has had spotting before... but never this much.

Dr has checked him over and said its likely to be a small tear and nothing serious - apparently it is quite common, especially if they strain a little, which he does sometimes. Phew....was terribly worried there for a while.

Looking forward to a less dramatic afternoon!!! xx

Ha ha! Hope you get a few hours to yourself v&b.

Think Ella must be going through a leap. Think there's one due about now. She had a bad night. Couldn't get her to sleep, then she projectile vomited twice in the night. Had her up 4:30 - 6. She went to sleep & I went for a 9k run. Was really good to clear my head.
We managed to have a morning nap together which was good.
She's basically just been really grumpy today & sleeping a lot or is on the boob or crying.
Hope she feels better soon.

Fingers crossed she falls asleep after I've fed her, then I can try & prepare the dinner too.

Urgh, santiago will just not have his afternoon nap! Lina has been down for 2 and a half hours, but santi only had an hour and will just not go back to sleep. I keep taking him through, giving him boob and singing, but he just empties me then smiles for a while, then gets bored and whingy so i have to take himback out again so he doesnt wake lina up.

Oh no!!! All these clever babies were being so good with their sleep but still refusing naps!!!

I've been quite lucky with Freddie- we got into a routine of putting him into his cot at 10pm, curtains closed, nightlight on, musical mobile on, shut the door. He goes to sleep very easily but sometimes there's quite a lot of grunting. We've not changed the time to 9pm and I take him out of his cot in the morning at 8.30am.

Then he normally has a morning nap and a pm nap- I tend to just leave him to it at those times with his dummy on his playmat and he just nods off. I leave his cot for bedtime only though.

I think though that it's potluck- some babies like to sleep and some babies just like to play!!!!

Here he is zonked on his mat earlier!!!


Chezza, I know JJ is going through a leap/is about to, but is he teething maybe? My sister's bub is pretty grizzly because of that at the moment x

 

[knopk@]

Its totally potluck, looking at all the babies around. You never know.

Hey Jolly, he certainly is...he has a teeny tooth coming through - I can feel it on his top gum. I've just never known such a grumpy baby! Doesn't help that he also had his jabs this morning though...poor little thing

Have a feeling I could be in for an interesting evening...here's hoping not!

Sleepy dust to all babies We'd like at least 9 hours out of all babies tonight please!! xxx

 

[knopk@]

Feel for you Chezza, Mark.wants cuddles and to.gnaw on my finger(quite hard), teethers arent good enough. Sigh.
He is dribbling a bit too. But my eldest has symptoms for good couple of months before they popped out. I hate teething
