@snowjewelz: I'm sorry but that cracked me up...lol I'm right there with you
-
@winniebee: Yippee for a good GI appointment. And hurray for solids. Looks like several of us are heading that way soon-ish.
-
@winniebee: that is a really good visit! And bonus that starting solids will help w/ spit up! I hope you will be able to include diary back into your diet soon!
-
@winniebee: Glad R had a good GI visit today! I can't believe solids are happening so soon! I'm not ready!!
And I'm sorry!! I feel like an asshole complaining about sleep issues when I know you and some others have NEVER gotten the good stretches that I once enjoyed!
-
@FaithFertility: Just being honest, lol. I seriously flip flop about this issue all the time... So lately I'm in the "let nature takes its course as long as I'm not feeling too zombie like..."
-
@winniebee: yay! glad you had a good appointment!
-
@winniebee: that is great news! He is such a handsome little guy and I am glad he is doing well! Your doing a great job with the non dairy diet!
Ok, I think G plays me for a fool....lol DH has put her in her crib to nap all day and each time out! She usually fuses with me the minute I set her down!!!!
-
@FaithFertility: DH has some magic touch with K at night time. So I've relinquished my duties and I know put C to bed instead.
-
@MamaG: Man I wish..he works night shift 4-5 days out of the week! But he definitely is in charge of nap time when he is home!!!!
-
@snowjewelz: It is so hard, I just keep saying one battle at a time......
-
Gah all this talk of sleeping in cribs & solids! Our babies are growing too quickly. I need to start getting M to sleep in his PnP so he'll be ready for his first vacation next month. Hopefully it's a smooth transition, he still wakes every 2 hrs or so to eat.
@winniebee: Glad the GI appt went well!
-
My poor baby just cried and cried tonight. Thought I waited too long to feed her (but she can go up to 4 hrs and we were at 3.5), then thought boob didn't have enough (but schedule is exactly the same) so gave her bottle but she only drank 2 out of 3. Shouldn't be OT since she goes 2-3 before bed time.. So... Teething pain? I really hope this is not a sign of things to come tonight! Sleep dust to all!
-
@snowjewelz: ohhh poor K!!!!!
Could be teeth!! Hopefully she sleeps it off!!!!
-
@snowjewelz: :(. Hope she's ok and you all sleep!
-
@winniebee: So glad your GI appointment went well! R's really packing on the pounds
J is watching us like a hawk when we're eating. He looks angry! We did mostly BLW-style table foods with M (purees while she was at her babysitter's). I had been wanting to do the same with J but, man, I'll do anything to reduce the spit up. The GI doc thought it would make a big difference?
I hope that you can enjoy some dairy soon! I'm trying to keep my cravings in check so I don't gain all the weight right back!
-
@Adira: You can complain! It's SO hard when you're used to good sleep and it gets taken away. J STTN almost every night for about 2 weeks. Now he hasn't done it in 2 months
I hope better sleep is in the cards for us all!@snowjewelz: Poor K
It's so hard to see them cry and not be able to comfort them. I think I posted about 10 days ago that J had a totally out of character evening where he just cried and cried and wouldn't nurse or sleep. I had to trick him into nursing. Anyway - he woke up completely fine for his next feeding and was totally fine the next day. I hope it was just a momentary problem for K as well!
-
@MrsF: yeah he was pretty confident we would see a big difference. He actually suggested rice cereal in bottles as well which is sort of old school and not recommended from a developmental standpoint. But I did some research and it seems to be a widely known way to keep milk in belly versus on your couch. Ryan only gets one bottle a day but I did it tonight and he gobbles it up. We shall see.
-
@MrsF: I remember and I said it was just random insanity lol! Her crying just sends me into panic mode! She already woke up once so far but jug needed me to hold her.
-
Logan is sleeping in his room tonight. I'm already sad knowing he won't just be right next to me!
-
@winniebee: It does seem so old-school but...ugh... my couch! My entire world is drenched.
@snowjewelz: Poor kiddo
At least they won't remember any of this!
-
@winniebee: our pediatrician recommended the same, I didn't follow his advice though.
-
@adira: go Logan! Go mama!
-
someone please tell me there is a 6 month growth spurt and that is the reason E has been cluster feeding every hour from 7-10 all week! It ends up not being terrible overnight bc she is so full she only wakes up once...and most of the feeding is before I go to bed anyways, but it's putting a cramp on my nighttime relaxing!! She just wakes up every hour and yells and hollers until I nurse her (assuming I try anything else like songs or rocking or pacifier). Grow baby grow!
We did start some solids tonight -- some banana. I'm doing BLW again but I forgot how unproductive it seems for the first couple of weeks. We did get some hilarious faces though, just not much actual consumption. -
@KayKay: I think there IS a 6 month growth spurt!
Night 1 in the crib sucked. Up every hour until 3:00 when he finally gave us a three hour stretch. Hope tonight is better.
-
We didn't have great sleep. I guess all the fresh air wasn't helpful. Bummer.
-
@Adira: sorry the first night in the crib didn't go so well!
@MamaG: Boo.E did great last night with only one wakeup at 1, then awake at 6:15 for the day sitting quietly in his crib. I think that was the first time ever with only 1 MOTN wakeup. Too bad I still slept crappy!
-
@MamaG: I think in general formula is thicker so adding rice cereal probably is overkill? Our GI doctor suggested it at 2 months and I dismissed the idea. But ultimately I decided that we are seeing a specialist for a reason and that I should follow his lead.
Ryan had a great night *for him*. 7-1 then til 5 up for day at 715. He had some cereal this morning and didn't know what to make of it :). Ate some and did well but then was over it.
Now that I know he's feeling better he is going in the crib tonight. My goal is to have him in the crib and swaddle free by 5 months. One week!
-
@josina: that's amazing! I hope our rock n play transition is as good as yours
-
@Adira: ugh! Do you think it's being out of your room? Do you think it's something else?
-
@KayKay: I have no idea but it sounds like a growth spurt to me!
-
@Adira: it def will get better.. Way to go!!
-
@winniebee: he will do great! I think I will do crib and out of Merlin suit at 6 mo seeing that K is 5 mo on Mon and we are NOT ready!
-
@KayKay: if it helps I think the first year is just a giant growth spurt lol! It sounds fun to see them explore food tho! I'm def interested in doing some BLW Along with purees!
-
@josina: so glad to hear sleep training is doing him good! Your sleep will get better eventually!!
-
We did alright last night... I think there were extra wake ups, she just starts crying with tears (instead of usually mildly fussing) and I had o pick her up but as soon as I did she went back to sleep. More tears this morning while nursing... And she was gumming my nipples.. Poor baby! I hear teething for some babies are just super uncomfortable.
-
@winniebee: I'm thinking it's something else because he was waking up a bunch a couple night before we moved him too.
-
@winniebee: go Ryan! That is a good night!
@adira: most of the websites that know these things agree that there is a 6 month one, so I'm going with it. Even though she is only a week over 5 months
by the MOTN wake up, I felt pretty empty but hopefully my body gets the message soon to up the milkies for that hungry bebe. @snowjewelz: this is true. DH always says that when I tell him it's a grow spurt! It's just nice sometimes to have a somewhat plausible explanation for their craziness.
-
@josina: great night! It must feel so good to have the transition going well!
-
@MrsF: G does too with food!! I hope some solids help in your spit up department!!!
@Adira: Aww man I'm sorry, hope the crib sleeps gets better soon!
@josina: That is amazing!!!! So glad this is working for you!!!!!
@winniebee: awww yay for cereal!
Hope the crib treats you well!@KayKay: ohhh man! G eats sometimes like crazy too! Is she a distracted nurser? I feel like some times G stops eating before she is full because she wants to play or chat or well.....anything else!
@snowjewelz: awww maybe those darn teeth are hurting her
this stinks, you feel so bad for them and can't exactly figure out how to help!!!
-
