Are you acting too Jess?
I used to work in Media... the bed hoping was pretty bad there too!

Actually when I listen to my parents that are in their 60s and all that is going on with their friends... it seems it happens to anyone, anywhere!

 

[babyloulou]

I haven't been able to get them the last few times. He's got Nelson's ones at rge moment- but they don't seem to do much. This sleeping thing is not his teeth/cold/wonder week- it's just him! It's been 9 months of no sleeping and just getting worse and worse

 

[Euronova]

Hey, why don't you suggest his name to I'm a celebrity?? I am sure you would enjoy seeing him eat some cock or balls

 

[lisaf]

you have to aim for a guy who couldn't get laid even if he tried... thats what I did

I'm just hoping you get a clearer picture of what is going on in his head tomorrow


V - make sure he watches the baby come out of you... after that, he will OWE you
After our son was born my DH offered to get the snip I think in part because he saw how crazy it was for a head to come out of there and figured he could do something minor like that for me.

Your OH does know that they numb the area first, right? When the time comes, see if you can find someone who has had it done to talk to him.. and promise him a ton of BJs in gratitude

Lou - I feel so bad for you and Ben, how are either of you functioning on so little sleep?

 

[lisaf]

Lou - I think you should keep a journal/chart of his sleep schedule (I use the term loosely) and then bring it to a doctor so they know you aren't exaggerating and tell them you are worried for his health with so little sleep.

Your poor OH!!

I was pretty much kidding of course (for the record). Neither of us has people hitting on us all the time. But if women could see what a good guy he truly is, I'd have to beat them away with a stick. Or just tell them about what a slob he is, lol! Small price to pay though for the other good qualities.

I think I'm starting to not function now to be honest!

As for the doctor Lisa I have mentioned it to a few amd to the Health Visitor and all I'm told is to "shut him in a room and don't go in til the morning"- when I said I wasn't willing to do that then that was it I even said that even if I did agree with doing that I really don't think it would work with Ben because he never just moans or cries- he's hysterical. I just got told "oh yes he'll probably be that distressed he'll be sick alot to start with- but he'll soon learn not to be when he's had to sleep in it a few times- and not to worry because although it does happen it's rare babies asphyxiate on their own sick"

Bless your DH Lisa.

Awwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Oh, Lou. I wish there were something we could do to help you.

 

[Peach Blossom]

Swap? I'll swap you a non sleeper for a non eater!

I don't know, I feel like you've exhausted all your alternative options but I also know that even though I let Daniel fuss/cry a little, I simply have to pick him up if he's hysterical so I don't know what you should do Any chance on someone giving you enough of a break that you can go get some uninterrupted sleep? Or does he need to nurse still?

Obviously with him sick its worse and harder to leave him

 

[babyloulou]

He's not been eating much for the last month either Jess I think it's the lack of sleep! He's dropped from the 91st percentile at birth down to the 25th

 

[Euronova]

God Lou that's horrible!! Who in their right mind is giving that sort of advice!!!
Any way you could see someone you have not talked about it before? It might just take talking to the right person who will have the right attitude to help.
I am such a huge sleeper... i don't think I will cope well with sleep depravation.... can anyone remind me why I got myself into this? and why women do this in the first place?
The sickness, horrible birth, sleepless nights.... and the rest... we must be mad!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Will he drink from a cup Lou? Can you maybe express and leave hime with someone during the day time so that you can escape for a bit and sleep?!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Aw, poor you and poor Ben. Have they said anything about the drop? Are they concerned at all?

 

[Euronova]

actually maybe it is a solution, to swap or have someone look after him for a week or so.... someone you trust and you know would not let him be so destressed he would be sick, but maybe someone that has less of an emotional attachment....
I don't know... i can't see why it would work, but then at least you would get a few good night sleeps

Lol... I do not cope well at all with sleep deprivation. After doing this once, I'm not sure I ever want to do it again.

But believe me... the laughs and smiles really really help. I'll see if I can get my video of Daniel being tickled on here (its on facebook)

 

[lisaf]

dang, I can't get the video on here while I'm at work
