How well do you know your baby?

[BallerinaM2B]

I'm confused!? When you talk about liking and disliking... how do you know? Do you take movement to mean they like something or dislike something?

My little bean goes very quiet when we're in noisey places, I've had a few wedding receptions recently and for the duration theres been no movement at all (but it makes up for it the next day). I've always just thought this is because it's listening to all the interesting noises and that it's kind of a shy baby but could be nonsense!

My gorgeous boy is a terror already and has a pretty set routine. He has already got himself stuck under my ribs twice, hospital visits and a good shake later he gave mummy and daddy a fright but hes fine, he likes the drama!

Every morning at 7 he will kick to wake me up, we will lie for 15 minutes I'll talk to him he'll kick and answer

Baby boy hates it when i cuddle in to daddy or daddy cuddles into me he'll kick and kick quite hard til we move!

We get up and wake his big sister, Molly talks to him and he'll do rolls, she loves it cos it looks like he's sticking his bum out (and he only does rolls when Molly talks to him)

We drop Molly off at school and get some shopping (bump goes for a snooze) we get home and do some cleaning bump wakes up at about lunch time he loves fruit goes very hyper and we listen to some music (bump kicks to Stone Temple Pilots and Bob Dylan but he's not a Paramore fan lol)

In the afternoon he goes pretty quiet, I go get Molly from school and we hang out and play, she tries to wake him up by screaming, I think its only worked once he must be a sound sleeper like daddy!

Teatime comes and he wakens up big movements at teatime and hes started kicking and punching at the same time in 2 separate places which are now getting strong enough to see out side my tummy, as soon as daddy puts his hand on he stops although I can have my hand on all day lol! Mummy boy already!

Bathtime he doesnt like, he moves really lightly in the evening more towards my back and up in my ribs, feels like he cant get comfy

At about 11 when I want to sleep hes most active kicks like mad on my lower left side for about an hour (bad baby lol) he goes to sleep on my lower left side everynight which makes sleeping on my left near impossible! During the night i'll get woken up a few times by a few kicks usually to go wee then he stops when I do

I love the fact my bubs has his routine sorted fingers crossed hes this good when he comes! xxxxxx

I love this thread!!!!

Alexander is a very demanding baby who likes to eat ALL the time no matter how late at night it might be
He hiccups a lot because he gulps his amniotic fluid
He does NOT like Coldplay and thinks Chris Martin is a terrible singer
He loves to rest his toes on my ribs when I am sitting on the sofa
He loves Star Wars films like his daddy but will not stay still when watching films like his mummy
He can only be quieted when daddy's warm hand touches him
He loves showers and baths (esp. baths)
He is looking forward to meeting the person who sings badly in the shower (me!)

Mine also likes to stick his bum out to the left of my belly button and kicks loads when I lie on my right.
