aww (((hugs))) fitz.

when i said to HV that K was waking up, she said he was prob hungry and to give him his food before his last bottle of the day. some nights at 3am he doesnt want the bottle he just wants the comfort.
when i looked online a lot of sites seem to suggest that from approx 6 - 12 months their brains are developing so much that at night they kind of go into an overload as they have so much information to process. this is waht wakes them up and takes a little to settle them. they also said to look at your normal routine at bedtime as even the slightest change can up set them.
i want my little boy back who slept all night

nikkit thats awful that the landlords taken so long to get it sorted, especially knowing you have a newborn.

I actually gave H teething powders at about 10pm last night just before bed. The packets says morning and night, so I thought giving her it last thing might help if it is teething related. She isn't actually waking up though - her eyes are firmly shut and if I pick her up, she is totally limp and sleeping on my shoulder. As I say, from googling it, it sounds quite common but very strange.

She is totally happy and chatty during the day as usual though. She napped a lot more yesterday, more than ususal and was extra lively when awake so was wondering if it was some kind of growth spurt.
She has been such an angel since she was born that I definitely can't complain about a few broken nights sleep. I know I have had it so easy compared to a lot of you, so I would be foolish not to expect some sleepless nights!

Jillie - missed your post about work. Good luck with it today. It will probably feel strange going in as you are so removed from your job now. But like NMS said, it will probably feel like you haven't been away after about 10 mins! Hope you get the hours/place that suit.

SM - good luck to you too! And I put baked beans in a Shepherds Pie once to pad it out as advised on OS thread. It was actually quite nice. Lasagne - don't think I would! lol. x

After an hour and a half wait - for an appointment they booked "so I wasn't just turning up and wouldn't have to wait"!! - we probably had the best blood test ever (iykwim!). Rhys barely cried, doctor got it right first time and it barely took three minutes Home for brekkie, now just having a cuppa and getting stuff together to go to my sister's

Good luck to those discussing work. It is tough ((HUGS)).

Jillie - I cried every time I called a CM even doing something positive was emotionally exhausting (god you lot must think I am a jibbering wreck most of the time!)


I use the nelsons teething powders and they say every 3 hours I think.

I find there is no point giving Benjamin one before he goes to sleep but they settle him if he is grizzling in the night. I guess every baby is different.

It is Ashton & Parsons I have and it says morning and night for babies over 4 months. Might have a look at the Nelsons ones when I am out then thanks. No idea if it's teething related mind you. Cheers!

Fitzio/Glam - I had been having the same problem with Liam since around Christmas time until last week! Sometime he would wake every hour, other nights just a couple times. Some nights he would settle after a couple of mins crying (I mean long enough for me to wake and register it's Liam crying over the monitor and wake up) and some night he would cry himself awake.

My 1st thought was a 4th month growth spurt, then tummy bug, then I though he was waking for his dummy so weaned him off, then we had a cold then we got teeth. It seemed to settle a couple of nights after his 2nd tooth cut. I don't know what was causing it, if it was any of those things, it could have been teething all along, but whatever it seems to have been just a phase.

For the past week he has gone down like a dream and slept through till, just waking quite early (6:30 ish) he was bad last night, but it was the first day he had spent away from us and I think he just wanting re-assuring we weere still there.

I often read Glam's posts and think Jack seem to be mirroring Liam, just 6 weeks behind, lol Despite all my questionings I don't really know why he was waking, I can only guess
