Wow Anna what a fantastic weight gain! You must be very pleased :)

Alfie is a bit better than earlier but still a bit fussy. He has done several dirty nappies though and is quite windy so that could be contributing to the unsettledness! Bath at 8.30 then another feed so hopefully he will chill out after that. He let me eat dinner without crying though which was unexpected after what he was like earlier :D
 
Rose - Ruben was exactly the same after his first lots of jabs. Slept for ages after but was then totally inconsolable for the rest of the day, he had to get 2 doses of calpol too. His next lot are on the 31st.

Ruben has been a bit unsettled for the last couple of days and seems to have bad wind again, not sure why, he's been on the same milk for 3 weeks now, is still pooing etc. Hopfully it passes soon, although he's still sleeping at night soi can't complain really!
 
Baby maybe hope the next jabs go ok! Also hope Ruben goes back to his normal self soon. You're right though - the nights are the most important
 
Just had a look at the wonder weeks thing too and I suppose Roo could be gearing up for wonder week 12, so maybe that explains the fussing too!
 
Yeah could be! I hadn't heard of it until I saw it on a thread the other day and wondered what it meant. I always used to assume fussing meant growth spurt, but this makes a lot of sense
 
Hi ladies.. I have to book Carson's 2 month app to get his jabs I hope he's not too bad after.. However I feel the past 2 days I've set Carson up for some bad day time sleeping habits . We got Carson circumsized yesterday. He handled it very well.. The doctor said he cried the least of any baby he's had! ( I know that circumcision is a very touchy topic please don't judge me I left it up to my husbands discretion) Carson has handled it very well.. I've been giving him Tylenol .. However I've been a total suck with him and letting him nap on me through the day .. I just hope that I'm not setting myself up for difficult naps after he heals

Rose- hope Alfie settles for you
 
You girls got me reading about the wonder weeks! Does anyone have the book?
 
Thanks skeet! Don't worry I let Alfie nap on me often. Sometimes I am just so desperate for him to get a nap during the day I just allow him to nap wherever he falls asleep. He still sleeps in his cot no problem. Hope he heals soon!

Mrs c I don't have the book. Although I think it would be a very interesting read. If we got time to read it ;)

Well our night wasn't too bad, Alfie was asleep by 9.45 and woke at 2 again - this is the second night in the row! Again I checked his temp tucked him in and he fell back to sleep. He then woke at 4 and then again at 6 and 8, Im so tired what a difference an hour between feeds can make! Hope he's back to normal tonight, he will be back in the sleeping bag tonight. I didn't want to put him in it last night in case he got a temperature. I did wake up at 6 to find him straddling the top of the blanket ha ha I don't know how he managed to twist himself round and push himself up enough to do it!! Strange boy ha
 
Mrs C I have downloaded the wonder weeks book to our kindle as its cheaper and easier to read when feeding. Only just started the intro though.

Poppy slept finally at 11pm and the usual one feed in the night. She is still fussy and clingy this morning though.

Rose glad Alfie was ok after his jabs.
 
I do have the ww book, and definitely found it rang true throughout Connor's first year - I swear any time I felt he was being fussier than usual, I would consult the book and sure enough it would be a ww! An interesting read, and reassuring toknow there is a reason for the fussiness, rhough the book gets pretty repetetive, and a lot of the info (including the all important chart!) is available online.
 
Oh man Paige is just has bad lol. If she goes down around 9.30pm she'll wake around 1-2am for a feed then goes back down around 3-3.30am. takes her ages to settle. Today i woke up at half 7.30am to feed her as her dad had her last night. took me until about 8.30am to get her down again. i put her in the basket and she'll still sleeping but makes funny noises to lol she sleeps better through the day than at night.

I hope all goes ok while Paige's dad is away. My OH is going away on Friday for 2 weeks, I am really going to miss him.
 
Sounds like you get lots of nice support from your OH's :thumbup:

Sophie had her 6 week check today, all is fine and she now weights 11lbs and 11.5oz! (Still 75th centile). Really pleased, Sophie was so chilled, only cried once and the rest she was awake and happy.
 
Yay for a nice check up Kte! :yipee:

Sportys and cherry - hope the time ur OHs are away goes by quickly! :hugs:

MrsAJ - oooh where online is the chart and info? I know I won't have time to read the book!

Sportys - is it a book that reads well on kindle? I found myself jumping around all my preg books and would find that hard to do on my kindle so I had all in paperback.


AFM I'm exhausted. After sleeping most of sun eve, Monday and yesterday, H is now fussy and feeding every hour! Seems backwards...I would think she'd cluster feed before going into growth spurt hibernation, not after! But I guess she's trying to catch up on all the missed meals!!! She finally passed out on my drive home this afternoon so I transferred her to her stroller and DH and I have been taking turns pushing her around our front walkway...it's my turn now...and of course I have to pee!!! :dohh: The things we do for naps :haha:
 
Cherry and sportysgirl, I hope yor time without your OHs goes ok! My husband has gone for a curry tonight. We were doing well as Alfie had a long nap from 6-7.45 and then had a really great feed. Bath went well and he didn't even cry when I took him out and dried him off. Snuggled up on the sofa to feed him again, he fed well for a few minutes, until suddenly out of nowhere he was sick ALL OVER ME!! All down my front, all in my bra, in my hair, all over my clothes - ugh! Also all over himself including in one eye!! I leapt off the sofa and thankfully managed to contain it until I was standing over his changing mat. It was gross and I had to literally take off all my clothes, bath him while I was naked, then get him dressed and bring him upstairs!! The neighbours must think I'm mad - worst of all we have no kitchen blind so anyone looking in could have seen me naked in the kitchen bathing him!! I really didn't care though, thank god the bath water was still in the baby bath. Why do they always get themselves in a state when you're home alone?! After a while of cuddles he was starving again so he took a bit more milk and is now sound asleep :) something tells me he might wake soon for another feed though as he threw up most of the last one... I hope not!!

Kte glad the appointment went so well :)

Mrs c hope you get some sleep tonight!! Sleep deprivation is the worst. I'm glad hubby is helping you out though! It's exhausting trying to care for a fussy hungry baby alone.
 
check out thewonderweeks.com

also just do a google image search for wonder weeks chart :)
 
Uh-oh rose! What a nightmare! They do like to throw in these little surprises now and then, like you say, typically when your on your own! Hope it doesn't throw his feeding routine out too much if he now wants and extra feed :flower:

What are your babies like with OH? More, when it's just them and baby? Friday I had to go into Uni for a few hours to get my dissertation finished and handed in. Apparently Sophie screamed the supermarket down for OH - he said she didn't want feeding or winding or changing. A bit of movement helped but not much, he was stuck when he got to the check out and had to stop! Then yesterday evening I went to my first roller derby training session since August (didn't realise I was pregnant at first and stopped asap when I knew). He said she screamed a lot, it wasn't just crying. I don't normally get her screaming, she fusses yes and moans a little but is rarely inconsolable. He ended up with her in the swing seat which I never have to resort to. I dunno, I think maybe she just isn't used to him any more, he was great for about two weeks after she was born but not doesn't look after her 1-2-1 any more. I guess she knows. My eldest kept saying 'I love you Mummy' when I got home, so maybe she appreciates me a little more :haha:
 
My son is a total daddy's boy, but Allison is a mama's girl and doesn't settle as well for dh.
 
My OH is great with Hayden when he's in the mood to take care of her which happens every other day or so, so not too bad. But if he's stressed with work or tired, he's so impatient with her and gets upset when she's not just sitting there quietly (which is 95% of the time). In general he expects too much of her and let's her just cry when she gets upset which escalates and then I get an inconsolable child!!!! But mostly he's good...
 
Carson most of he time is great for oh.. If I can't get him to settle then usually I can give him to oh and he will get him to settle. Carson is also better at shopping with oh then me... Carson is so food driven whenever I hold him and he's fussy all he wants to do is eat and tries to latch where as he knows he doesn't get that from oh
