Wakeful seed

[nikkif]

sorry i don't really have any advice but wanted to give you these

 

[happy-chick]

Aww u must be exhausted Hope she decides to let mummy sleep really soon!

 

[LilysMummy]

Could she be an early teether? I think Ive heard you say shes always trying to be more advanced than her age.

 

[Snuggle]

She could be teething and just be a bit uncomfortable rather than in pain so is wakeful but not crying? I hope she lets you get some sleep soon

 

[newmum]

sorry to hear that. replied to you in the 'no sleep' thread.
Adds a whole new meaning to the 'sleep when she sleeps' advice doesn't it?

 

[Squiglet]

Babies generally have a 45 minute sleep cycle... and some babies have the ability to wake themselves up from that... If Seeds anything like lil miss,... she'll have 3 or 4 cat naps during the day, then go to bed around 10pm and wake every hour or so until 7am when she's up for the rest of the day.

Express a load of milk over a couple of days, and call your mum over or get OH to take her for a few hours... (better OH) and let him deal with Seed's tantrums for a couple of hours while you get some kip.

Your only other options are a)putting Seed down and letting her cry or b) beating her with a stick and neither option is really that appropriate for you

I swear it gets better... it just takes a long, long.. long time.. But Tia used to be worse than Serena and finally got over it around 3 years old.

I tried that too - took me 45 minutes to almost fall asleep then she woke up.

Here: the top 3 pieces of advice people gave me...

1) keep her awake all day ( )
2) put plastic bags in her cot to protect her from the electromagnetic fields
3)sleep when she sleep

oh and number 4) put bonjela on her gums

Must have been something going on last night cause Lola didn't go to sleep till 2.20am and then woke up at 6.40am for the day. I'm just waiting for OH to get in from work so i can go to bed

 

[Babylicious]

i don't know how you are coping

 

[Squiglet]

yesterday I got told to put honey on a dummy and give it to lil miss in order to help her sleep... I looked like this But didn't bother to elaborate... I just let it go.. "whatever" sorta thing.

 

[lisa&alex]

never put honey on a dummy lol..babies arnt to ahve it b4 they are 1.. just incase of allergys or sumit..listen lis.. instead of giving her ur nub.. open up a vein and let her feed ffs.. its pretty obvious that milk aint what she wants.. she either needs brains or blood.. as she aint weaned yet try the blood 1st..

hi Midna,

what's Seed's feeding schedule like nowadays? Is she going longer in the day?

I'm just wondering if she's used to having the boob quite regularly then she might be getting little, therefore she'll need it often. It might just be something that she's used to, sleeping really lightly and waking for feeds.

Maybe try eeking out her day feeds a little, like 10 mins each time. Then maybe she'll take a little more at each feed and this might follow during the night.

I know you are co-sleeping and I've absolutely nothing against that, I think it's great. Just to say that I didn't co-sleep but I did insist on sleeping in the same room as Ash for the first 6 months (due to cot death guidelines). I've now moved out, so speak and wow! what a difference! He doesn't wake half as much and most nights goes from 8pm till 7am-ish! I've concluded that I was either making too much noise and waking him, or he was waking jsut becasue he knew I was close to him.

Just some thoughts, don't know if they'll help at all. I really feel for you and hope you get some sleep soon. When Ash was waking every 2-3 hours (for about a month) I thought I was never going to function as a human being again!

melissa was like that for aeons- a right bugger she was

all the things i was reluctant to do- own room, bit of CC, bottle-feeding, i do them all now (tho theres not much need for CC hardly eva now thank god)- and now she sleeps like- well, a baby!

good luck with it, i kno its hard

 

[lauramumof2]

I know you dont want to do this till 6 months which is very admirable but I would be inclined to try her with some food. I appreciate the guidelines but they werent even going when I weaned jess and she and Joe weaned at roughly the same age, joe maybe a bit later and there werent any side effects. There is only 2 years between them.

Im not saying get a steak down her but ykwim.

 

[lisa&alex]

let the aeons be with you, hopefully you wont loose to many hps
