Its too didficult with 2 small children and other people in the house. For example once they left the only house keys on the coffee table. My eldest had lots of giggles and we had at least 30 mins of searching.
Plus the travel cot we hired wasnt useable so sleeping was very difficult.

Hope u had a better night than we did! Up every hour last night again we must be at the peak of this leap 20 days to go and I'm wondering whether we are ever going to get a couple of hours straight again.

You ladies are all very brave taking baby to parties etc I am far too exhausted and anyway we have no babysitter lol

Did someone mention a calpol plug in recently? If so, where did you get it from? xx

 

[AmyQ]

Night from hell. Party ended at 1. Evan was up every hour or two. Knackered but DH is getting some more sleep as he's doing most of the driving. We did not have a choice about coming to the party as we're staying with DHs family.

Hopefully be on the road by 9, it's only a 7 hour drive lol...

 

[vinandbella]

Oh Amy hugs for you and Evan you'll be home soon xx

MrsH bad night her too lost track of how many times she was up.
Calpol plug in I got from Boots.

We're in bed having snuggles trying to convince madam to take a bottle of formula I'm not succeeding.

Well yet again it was OHs turn to get up with H and guess what....he slept through again! 8pm til 6.30am, unbelievable. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I swear they are ganging up on me! Lol

H has changed his routine again. He now has his last bottle at 6pm bath at 7pm and bed by 8pm, sometimes he likes to have a top up at 8pm but only has 1-2oz. And if he's not in bed by 8pm he lets you know how cross he is, he screams!

We're going to Asda in min to get veg for stew tomorrow, gonna stick it in the slow cooker. I'm making a shepards pie for tea today, craving one like crazy! Can't wait yummy

Also Harrison is 16 weeks now, 1more week and we can think about weaning. But not sure whether to wait until we've seen pediatric doctor, he may ask us to attempt to wean him back on to regular formula. If he does I don't want to be weaning also, it might upset his belly?

Anyway, hope you all have a lovely day. Speak later x x x

 

[Emma.b]

Oh also Amy, I feel your pain Hun. There is nothing worse than having an over tired baby, over tired mummy and loads of people getting under your skin. It gets me so frustrated, especially when they all try to get him to sleep. I've literally had to snatch him back in the past.!

Hope your able to relax when you get home. Xxx

 

[Chezza]

Sorry some of you had rough nights xxx I had another early morning wake up call from my little cherub this morning, so have been up since 5am. He's great at sleeping through the night most of the time, but he does love his early mornings and never goes back to sleep....little monkey.

Emma - same thing used to happen to me! DH would take night shift every Sat night to give me a break and Joshie (before he slept through the night regularly) would sleep through!

What formula is Harrison currently on then? I recently finished weaning Joshie off comfort milk - he had the last combi mix on Friday. Funnily enough, he hasn't been for a poop now for about 36 hours though...not getting too worried yet, but I do hope to see a nice big messy nappy very soon!!

Today I am roasting off a nice big hunk of beef, with crispy roast potatoes, parsnips, butternut squash and buttered cabbage - with Yorkshire puds too. YUM!! xxx

 

[vinandbella]

It's boiling here today so not sure I fancy a huge roast ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hell who am I kidding I always fancy a roast lol

Need to nip to Sainsbugs for a few bits might see what looks good failing that I'm off to Chezza's what time do you want me YUM
Walked the dogs round the village with madam earlier to stop me getting locked up for murdering OH grrrrrrrrrrr
Anyway got back he's up put a load of washing in and taken the bins out

Surprising how untried I feel today it'll catch me mid week

It's awful isn't it V&B!? I'm at my wits end. I'm putting her to bed early I.e. 6:45/7 to save my sanity. I ts just got so bad. No one else I know is having all these problems. I'm having to stick the dummy in to fob her off and make her go back to sleep. She was never that fussed about the dummy. I think now it's becoming a habit and I don't like it but not sure how to break it. You don't have any tips do you? xxx

Hey chezza he's on sma lactose free at the moment. I'm really hoping they'll let me try to wean him. And fingers crossed he takes to regular formula, it will make things so much easier weaning wise. I bought Nelson's teething granules on Friday, I couldn't give him them as they contain lactose!

I hope JJ has done a huge poop for you buy now?

I need to ask you ladies a question Harrison isn't drinking much formula at all. So far today he's had a grand total of 16oz :/ he had 6oz at 6.30am, 5oz at 10am then nothing til 5pm! I tried to feed him at 2pm but he screamed like I was trying to poison him, he took 1oz of it then fussed and fell asleep. He then showed signs of hunger at 5pm and had 4oz.

OH is currently bathing him. I'm gonna attempt to feed him at about 8pm before bed. If he doesn't eat should I give him a dream feed? Just to top him off. He's a big lad at least 16pounds at a guess, I'm getting him weighed this week. I'm gonna ask the HV about it, but is anyone else having these kinda issues?

Xxxx

 

[Chezza]

No...no poop at all yet. His little belly is looking a bit swollen now and he has been really grumpy all day too It took a while to get him down tonight and I have a funny feeling it could be "one of those nights" coming up...I hope I'm wrong!

Poor little H Joshie has had the odd day like that - he fights the bottle and sleeps a lot. I have assumed that he is going through a growth spurt when he does that? Could be wrong, but who knows!

I've had around 9 hours sleep across this whole weekend and am feeling ridiculously shattered. Hoping tonight is a better night. I've got to pop in to work tmrw for a meeting and don't fancy looking and feeling like sh*te!!! xxx

Em, I wouldn't dream feed him. I did that once and it cocked up her routine. He'll wake when he's hungry. Is he due a tooth? Xx

 

[Jolly81]

Hello ladies- after a bit of sympathy, been riddled with a tummy bug since early hours of the morning, both ends!!!! My bum can't take anymore

The worst part is listening to oh go on about how hard it has been looking after Freddie on his own all day (er...what do I do all day everyday???) and the fact I can't cuddle my own baby in case he catches it

Boooooohooooooooo!!!!!!

Anyway, has anyone else experienced month sleep regression? He woke this morning and had to be fed at 5am for the first time in months, then slept until 10am?? He was fussing from about 3am til 5am, but that could have been because I was in and out of the bathroom so disturbed him?

Plus, he has barely napped at all today!!

Any ideas?

[AmyQ]

Home sweet home! DH was lovely and drove the whole 418 miles. Only needed two stops and Evan wasn't too bad.

Got him down for bed but not til gone 8. Really need to get him back into his 'routine'. Hoping he lets me sleep after last nights epic. I'm ready for bed now...

 

[Chezza]

Bless you Jolly...hope you feel a lot better soon!! Sending hugs xx

Hey Amy...welcome back!! Hope Evans head stays firmly stuck to his pillow tonight and I hope you have a wonderful nights sleep.

DH is just doing an airport pick up...I'm going to head to bed now and get ready to watch Downton Abbey when he gets back in, whoop whoop!

Sleepy dust to all babies - night night ladies xxxx

He's 16 weeks now so could be teething, his gums feel really hard, he's chewing everything and dribbling loads so has all the signs for a tooth coming.

I decide not to dream feed, like you said he'll wake if hungry. Plus he took 4oz before bed. So he's had 20oz in total today. Not much really but he seems happy enough most the time. I might keep a diary for a while keeping track.
