Bad night for me. Max is clearly constipated off his gavison and he has been so uncomfortable all night. Poor baby. I have been useless really not much I can do. I've have him some cooled boiled water. As much as he would take any ways. I'm shattered look like shite and the HV is coming. Joy. Xx

I think just 10ml water is enough to make a difference xx

Thanks Hun! It's well stressing me out. The gaviscon is making him constipated. so it's either he screams with reflux or screams with constipation. Gah!! Banging my head off the wall! He took about 20/30ml of water so hopefully that will help him out. X

yh im sure it will

i have the same problem x

Sorry for your bad night Amy. Water definitely helps. J takes about 25-30ml when we give it to him and helps him out.

Oh ladies I am feeling soooo sorry for myself today. Worst night so far! He's 12 weeks today, I thought it was supposed to get better not worse! I'm so jealous of how many other babies Max's age that are already sleeping through ;-(. So he went to sleep about 10:30, was up at 12:45.. He has never woken that soon after going to sleep at night! He was then up till 2ish when after some tears (mine) I finally managed to put him back in his basket, then he was up again at 4:30 so I put him in with me and on and off constantly feeding till he woke up at 9. Even when he was asleep he was doing a squeaky snore so I couldn't sleep. So last night I got a total of about 3 and a half hours sleep. He's moany today coz he's so tired, and just fallen asleep on the boob so I daren't move! Thank god oh was here to be able to take my big boy to school this morning! I would have cried all the way there! Xxx

It's probably a one off due to a growth spurt or them not feeling well or something!

Claire Harrison is 12 weeks on Friday & his sleeping is getting worse too. I wonder if its a growth spurt or something?

 

[buggy1]

Could be, says to expect one around 3 months

I'm in the 4 month growth spurt at the moment & it's a bitch. E used to always sleep well. She'd wake twice for a feed but automatically go to sleep after. Now she wakes crying sometimes. Apparently I've got up to 2 weeks of this left. I miss my happy baby!

Hope you all have better nights tonight.

I remember the 4 month sleep regression. It was terrible. Not looking forward to it this time round. X

 

[sophie_jane]

Tell me about it! Feel like I've hardly got to enjoy her so far as she cried all the time up until 3 months, was an absolute dream from then on, but is now going through this leap & is being a nightmare again!

LO is sleeping on daddy now. She didn't finish her 7pm bottle. I might wake her for half 10 and give her another bottle before bed, rather than having to get up after an hour of sleep which is so much harder!

 

[umbongo]

As usual Hannah is feeding all evening.... Another late one I reckon. Didn't nap today either so I'm knackered!

 

[EllieG]

Toby has been feeding all evening- I've made three packed lunches, showered my 6 year old, done spellings and reading book all one handed! Boobs feel like deflated balloons- growth spurt I think??

 

[Clairexx]

Definite growth spurts it sounds like! My bubs is going through one too so I got the good old sling out to allow me to multi task!

I'm off to bed now, just done a feed and left oh with a bottle to feed in about an hour, let's hope he can settle him and that I won't get woken up until 4am ish! Pleeeeeaaaassseeee.....! Sleepy dust to everyone else xxxxx

 

[sophie_jane]

E went to bed at 7 but woke up at 10:30 for another feed but then had eyes wide open & cried whenever I put her back in her basket. Am feeding her again... this is not a good sign of things to come!

 

[umbongo]

[SeonaidMac]

Sry to hop in but I freaking love gogglebox!!! Any way, jack woke up at 5.30 this morning for a feed , which is unheard of for him and I couldn't work out why. Till it come to his dinner time tonight , when he has a purée or rusk and a 6/7oz bottle, and I remembered that I forgot to give him any dinner last night apart from a bottle !! Poor little sod. I had terrible tummy problems yesterday and it must've completely slipped my mind. God I felt guilt. But he has made up for it today. Since 5.30am he has had 7x7oz bottles and some purée at dinner time. I didn't forget today!! Hope all u lovely ladies r all well. Xxx
