I have a March boy tooHi can you not. This is a very sore subject for me right now xx
I now put baby B down for bed about 1.5/2 hours after his last nap and he tends to stay down for longer than he used to when I’d try to keep him awake to stick to wake windows online being 4 hours between last nap and bedtime.
Could be something in it for these March boys!
Ahh early or late March? How does your boy sleep? Mines not greatI have a March boy too
Early March . Not great here either. Was fine up til the 4 month regression and basically the new normal is not great.Ahh early or late March? How does your boy sleep? Mines not great
Same here with the 4 month regression it went downhill to every hour and a half to 2 hours waking up, he’s become a little bit better getting 4 hour stretches here and there but I know the 8 month regressions going to hit and hit hard again probablyEarly March . Not great here either. Was fine up til the 4 month regression and basically the new normal is not great.
Wakes up crying randomly a few times per night don’t really know why. Luckily though he does go down fairy well between 7 and 8pm but after the first few hours he can be quite unsettled
What is your little ones sleep like?
We've always done bed time at 6pm because I've found they go to sleep so much easier/sleep a bit better when not over tired6pm nap update: he went to sleep more easily than most evenings and hasn't woken up yet.... Do I need to visit a winter lights trail every night forever now?? Or get him to nap immediately after dinner every night? Or move bedtime to 6pm??
Or just not question it and enjoy my slightly more peaceful evening
We did with my little girl, it's just so hard to fit in dinner and bedtime with my husband's job and the 3yo's clubs she does and things. It's usually about 6:30 so not really late and his last nap is often at about 4ish so he shouldn't really be too overtired but I'm going to have to try to get him to bed earlier for a week or so as an experiment.We've always done bed time at 6pm because I've found they go to sleep so much easier/sleep a bit better when not over tired
MILs are idiots. (Unless and until we become them )Why do in-laws get put on this earth to bleeping TEST US. I’ve booked babyGG in with a practitioner about a potential tongue tie. Always been a shite feeder, it takes an hour to drink no matter how many oz, chokes on the flow, dribbles it out of his mouth, has reflux etc. I’m at my wits end with it so had a look in his chops and I’m pretty confident he’s got quite a restrictive posterior tie. We’re fortunate enough we can just pay privately to get it corrected if necessary ASAP.
MrGG mentioned it to his mum and duck me you’d think I’d passed him to a total stranger alongside some rusty scissors, not that he’s going to a practising ENT consultant, when we won’t have it done unless necessary/they won’t bleeping perform it if it isn’t. The tone with her and decisions I make about my children is just constantly that my decision making is incompetent and they’re likely to come to harm.
Not that I’ve spent nights researching around the UK to make sure that he was going to one of the best. Not that I’m travelling miles with him because my gut said this man is the best. It’s just constant and tonight I’ve finally snapped and told MrGG I’ve got no interest in telling her anything to do with either of them anymore. The woman cannot grasp that time changes, research changes and things that parents ignored and just put up with 30 years ago isn’t necessary anymore. I’m just so fed up with constant snide remarks like I’m a tit parent. I’m not, I obviously would do anything for them and am only trying my best. But yet again I’m left feeling like that isn’t enough and I hate that she has the power to make me feel that way. No bleeping more.
Sorry but my mum didn’t answer the phone and my sister is working so I needed to let this out somewhere
My family and my friends have witnessed the handover most times. My friend couldn’t believe that she came back smelling of sick and poop and how red her bum was. That particular day her feed was at 5pm but she came back starving, screaming like mad for a bottleCraft kits, a cookbook and some baking supplies, some books, Lego ( the Dots range is really cool and fairly affordable, there are lots of BrickHeadz animal sets and 3-in-1 animal/vehicle sets that are incredible), and capital/big city postcards that are amazing too. The Friends ( not the TV show, but the Lego line with a group of friends) sets are lovely too. Hair/nail stuff ( accessories) is good too, as is jewellery. Some nicer art supplies, a notebook/diary and a fountain pen in a favourite colour.
I nanny as well, and these are my go-to ideas. I like to choose a theme or two ( favourite animal, colour and areas of interest) so the nearly 11 year old I used to look after is going to get some blue stationery, the Harry Potter cook book and the craft/sewing one, some baking supplies, some sort of licensed merch like socks, scarf etc in House colours anda related book ( there are House Pride ones that look cool). I may add some Harry Potter sweets to it and will make her a card that is a picture of her in her Gryffindor robes, doing Potions, captioned « Have a magical birthday ».
It is so much fun to put gifts like that together!
Can you take pictures/videos of her when she comes back from her dad’s? Or have someone witness the handover so they can see what state she’s in?
Hiya!Hey guys! So baby boy is 4 weeks old almost! He’s giving me the fear of god… I literally stood and rocked and bounced him for an hour tonight to try and get him to sleep and he wouldn’t so I put him in his next ti me and the only way he wants to settle/sleep is with his face pressed against the side of the next to me. Not the mesh part the fabric part but if I move him he wakes and screams I honestly dunno what I’m meant to do he’s not happy till he’s in that position he squirms and moans till he gets it
Also there’s now no point in me going to sleep cause he’ll be wanting a feed anytime. No one tells you how exhausting this is
