Amy, I hope Chloe is ok! It's so frightening when that happens. Cully has fallen and split the webbing between the top gum and his lip twice now and there is so much blood! That's a late nap! Poor baby girl. Do you find she's more clumsy when naps are bad and she's tired? I have to watch Cully like a hawk when he's tired because he's so much more likely to slip over. It still doesn't help though and he always ends up falling over.
Lysh, yep I just consistently rocked him and now he doesn't usually wake before 6am. We bed share and from about 5-530 I'm still usually awake and rocking/feeding him but not every day. I'm definitely seeing improvements.
Polaris, happy birthday to Clara! Have a lovely week with your mum!
SE, stay positive. I read on Kellymom that nursing strikes are really common at his age. I sent you the link - it's got some good tips. If it is the end - you did GREAT! Better than great - you've been working and pumping and I admire your commitment. Try to relax and know it's in munchkin's hands now. If he wants to nurse he will come back to it.
We've been having some crazy MOTN parties. Generally his sleep is great - he's doing 1.5-2 hour stretches but the last few nights he's had these weird periods of just being awake. A couple of times he's been awake around 1.5 hours but last night it took 3 hours to get him back to sleep.
What do you guys do for MOTN parties? Do you let baby play? I spent two hours and 50 minutes rocking him last night and then lost my patience and woke DH who then put him to sleep in ten minutes! I'm not sure of the best way to handle these baby parties.
