Evan ate more baby rice tonight. That's where the positives end today. He has been so grumpy and overtired but has refused proper naps and screamed each time I've tried to put him down. I'm really hoping we don't have a repeat of last night.

Got my second counselling session tomorrow then have the docs and hv on Friday. Can't tell whether my mood is due to exhaustion or pnd.

 

[vinandbella]

Hugs Amy, exhaustion is rubbish.

Well madam was shattered as soon as she was out of the bath she was mardy and crying.

Took her up fed her as she was dozing off she bloody bit me! She woke up I popped her in her cot she grabbed teddy and bunny and I`'ve not heard a peep yet.

Don't want to speak to soon but feel like we are turning a corner and I might be getting my easy baby back. Just hope this next tooth hurry`s up and I get my sleeping baby back.

 

[vinandbella]

Spoke to soon didn't I!

Took till midnight for her to go to sleep properly waking every 30 minutes before then. She then woke at 1.30 then 4 then 6 then 7

Off somewhere with mum and grandma today just waiting for them to let me know what.

Madams on my bed with teddy and a blanket ready for her morning snooze, I'm having a play on my kindle then off to the shower and get ready.

Morning Ladies & Babies,

Hope you all had much better nights?

We are off to our Sing and Sign class this morning (or our poop everywhere then sleep class as it is now known!). I look forward to updating you on the disastrous results later today

Off to my mums afterwards for a bit of lunch and a catch up too, lovely.

Hope you all have a good day!! xxx

 

[vinandbella]

Famous last words eh, poor little soul got herself into a fight tiz when I put her down for her nap. Had to boob her to sleep.

Hope she has a ling one but can't see it.

I'm still in my pj's just having a brew before I head to the shower.

 

[knopk@]

I managed to wash my hair! Mark was napping in a swing and my eldest was in the bathroom with me trying to pour stuff on my head.
Off to first aid course today to refresh, although dont know how my eldest will do in a creche as its 12:30 which is his nap time.

Evan was up every 2 hours again last night. Taking him for cranial osteopathy on Sat before I lose my last marble...

 

[vinandbella]

I looked at cranial osteotherapy and it says as baby's head gets squished coming out as madam was breach would it help??
They do a check up for free so might book in.

 

[vinandbella]

I've booked in for a free baby check can't do any harm can it

Not till 21st October though.

 

[AmyQ]

Evan is watching some baby tv in his bumbo. He's also had 3 short naps so I've started reading my blw book. With the kind of baby Evan is I think he'd prefer the freedom to feed himself. I'm going to talk it through with the hv tomorrow as I'd like to start soonish. It's not about the eating but more about his curiousity. I'm going to continue bf for as long as he needs mw to anyway

 

[vinandbella]

Well we've walked the dogs and that's failed to knock her out! That never fails so I've fed her and popped her on our bed, she's squealing at the minute.

I now think madam is more than ready to start weaning and blw is def the way to go for her I think.

I did some carrot batons and a floret if broccoli for her to have today but this late nap had knocked that on the head.

She's done a poo today that on googling looks like a weaning poo, she's only had a finger nail size piece of carrot on Monday! But she's not been for 4 days so maybe that's why.

Right off to start dinner chicken enchilada's with chips tonight

Afternoon

Well, Joshie did much better this morning! One small contained poop (yay!) - and only about 5 mins of screaming...a definite improvement on last week

He's had a bit of a grumpy afternoon and is napping on me. Have tried to put him down 3 times, but he starts wailing Trying to make dinner could be interesting!!!!

Can you start BLW early...? I assumed it was advised at 6 months...but Joshie is very close to being ready I think?? xx

 

[vinandbella]

They say 6 months but i can't see any harm in giving her a few veggie sticks esp as she has teeth lol I'll stick to different veg's for a week or 2 then move onto full blw I think. she's 23 weeks now so not that early really?

She's on our bed whinging away can't see me getting a nap out if her

Well, I had yet another rubbish night! Thought we might be ok as I fed E and she was in bed and self-settled at 7:30. She then woke up at 10:30 for a feed, but was wide awake afterwards and wouldn't go back to sleep and kept crying. OH had to go and sleep elsewhere as he's on a business trip today and needed the sleep. I managed to finally get her to sleep before midnight. She woke at 3:30 for her usual feed and went straight back to sleep. She then woke up at 5 crying again. Took ages to settle her and fed her in the end at 6. Then went out running to clear my head. Got back and she was all smiles with OH.
She's been a nightmare for me all day. Crying, being sick, not sleeping. I even ended up giving her some calpol.

Hope everyone else has had a better day than me. I'm knackered

Lucky she's so damn cute!

There are signs to look out for but if you have been doing puree, you might not want to switch to blw as he is not used to handling chunks of food and it can be dangerous. I think with TW you can start finger foods from 7 months anyway so see how it goes and read up a bit more about BLW. It really is an old concept - TW is actually a lot newer esp with the food industry wanting to make money on people as you can never get a smooth puree at home. x

Thanks knopk

I'm currently reading Gill Rapleys BLW book to get a good idea of how to do it right, it's a great book.

I've been making my own purées using Annabel Karmels "recipes" too xx

 

[vinandbella]

Well monkey was in bed asleep for 7.30 she was shattered, one of her eyes looked bright red hoping it's just where she'd rubbed it.

Swimming tomorrow and my car is fixed

I'm reading my gill rapley book tonight. She ticks all t hth e boxes for signs that babies are ready.

Excited

Omg don't know what to do, I'm out reauditioning for a big choir I sing with, about to go in and oh phones me with Freddie screaming in the background and says he can't calm him down!!! I can't do anything because I'm here, but I just find it so frustrating that in the day I cope on my own but when I'm out I always get a phonecall, and now I'm panicking something's seriously wrong with him
