Could be the 4 month growth spurt? Molly spurted for 5 weeks through the 3/4 month spurt. It was crazy, she got quite overtired a lot so we'd have to try to settle her with rocking and swaddling in between feeds. It does pass eventually

i was just gonna mention that...the 4 month growth spurt it a KILLER maybe thats it hon ?

no idea though he is now almost 5 months and it's been this way for the last 2 weeks... had to get him up just now.. he cried for 10 min and managed to get so upset he threw up on himself and his cot all drenched n sweat..

The 4 month spurt started early for us, could just be late for you. Molly fussed and fussed at the breast so much in the beginning that I didn't know if it was a spurt or if something was really wrong.

Orrr, his little teeth could be giving him troubles? Molly's are up to no good and a touch of teething gel if she's fussing during a feed works a treat, I also use it just before bed.

yeah Daisy's Growth spurt lasted AAAAGES and it was hell!!

hope he's not too upset

Have you tasted teething gel? I tried the one we have (Dentinox or something like that) and I nearly threw up! Leyla doesn't seem to mind though and Arif didn't think it was bad. Maybe just me!

 

[FemmeEnceinte]

Molly's aren't coming through but I think they're moving around or just generally aching as it really does help. Worth trying?

 

[Lunaty]

yeah ive got some bonjella.. ill try it tonight

 

[sjbno1]

Luna, hope you get a good nights sleep tonight Izzie has been fussy during the day (thankfully ok at bed time) which I think is because of her teeth but she still doesnt have any wondering if shes teething now though

saraendepity - lol I thought I missed something then

Femme - lol randomly thats the sort of thing my OH would do men are strange beings! lol

I have to say I love bonjela too! but I have been using ashton and parsons on Izzie and she seems to love it (opens her mouth for me to poor it in) lol i can see two lines under her gums but they've been there for a couple of months now

how is everyone this morning - the weather is gorgeous outside today! going to put lots of washing out soon me thinks

 

[lfernie]

I put bonjella on my eyebrows before I pluck them, takes the edge off
