Jasper... Little terror!

[Dragonfly Fi]

we had an awful night last night - Jasper slept from 10 to 1, woke up for a feed (which is no problem, hes allowed to feed) but then proceeded to cry for roughly 2 hours. We tried EVERYTHING, rocking him to sleep (would eventually stop fighting, fall asleep and then wake himself up crying) feeding again (no way) burping, stroking EVERYTHING

eventually i popped him in his cot (which is attached to the bed) on his front and put my hand on his back, he cried for about 3 mins before falling asleep on his own. Woke himself up 10mins later and started crying again, i put my hand on his back and he cried for another 3 mins before falling asleep

then slept through til 9am... such a complicated little fellow! When i got pregnant i thought i would never have a baby crying without hold him or comforting him, but i have to accept that regardless of what i think, thats not what Jasper needs and instead i have to allow him to settle himself off to sleep (with a bit of human contact but not alot) he is much happier for it...

Maybe some trapped wind somewhere, poor fella.

OH would put his hand of the crib with Caitlin and that alone soothed her when she was a baby baby - how old is your LO?

Jasper is properly on the boob now and the wind is so so much better for it we are learning eachother but hes a wee monster - cute and wide awake at 5am that sort of thing

i already can see his cheeky personality and i know he is going to be both a joy and a terror to raise
